Spindle City Cafe is the perfect lunch spot in downtown Gastonia. It is a great option if you want something quick, affordable, and delicious. A lot of professionals from around town come here for lunch, but it is filled with all kinds of kinds.
The sandwiches and sides are creative and they really seem like they put a lot of time and effort into getting it right. On my most recent trip, I ordered the Ham, Brie, and Apple Press. This sandwich was delicious the apple added just the right amount of crunch and the honey mustard that it came with went well with the brie and ham. I got homemade potato salad as my side, which was also very good.
The thing that sets Spindle City Cafe apart from other sandwich places is the service and atmosphere. On my first visit in, a person, who I assume was the owner, took the time to talk with me and explain the concept. The service is always fast and friendly. The atmosphere is really laid back and cool. The whole theme is obviously the cotton/textile industry. They have the theme down. From the large spool of cotton on the wall to the door with cotton balls surrounding it.
Spindle City is delicious, affordable, and has a really cool atmosphere. This is a great example of what a main street cafe should look like. If you are ever in Gastonia and want a quick lunch with a cool atmosphere, Spindle City is your spot.
