| - This place has a quaint mom and pop atmosphere that fits right in with the Kensington neighbourhood. Service can be slow just because they're taking so many orders and they have one panini press!
I'll be honest with you that I was expecting a gourmet grilled cheese experience when I was reading the menu so I was a little disappointed when I received my well... grilled cheese sandwich. I think somewhere in the back of my mind I was picturing a panini when reading the menu, but when I got my sandwich, I realized that I got exactly what I had ordered.
When I took my first bite I thought that it was too cheesy and that I couldn't taste the mushrooms in my sandwich. The bread wasn't a bun, a roll, a kaiser, or a ciabatta. It was sliced bread. Then it donned on me... it wasn't a poorly made panini, it was a perfect grilled cheese sandwich! The toast was buttery and crunchy, the cheese was gooey and oozy, and the fillings were perfectly sauteed!
The chips and pickles left something to be desired since the pickle had a little funky smell to it, but hey, maybe I'm just used to the unsophisticated store bought stuff. The chips were right out of a bag and soggy with pickle juice, so I passed on those...
Other than that, the price was right and the sandwich hit the spot!
