The bread here is unbelievably soft and flavorful, and every sandwich I've tried-from the hot cheese melt to the chicken pesto panini-has been consistently fresh and delicious. The combos with soup or salad are a great deal, and ordering online makes pickup super easy, even when it gets busy around lunchtime.

This lunch spot offers fantastic bread and fresh, tasty ingredients in their sandwiches. The half sandwich is satisfying for one person, and the takeout option during my wedding was amazing. From the soft and flavorful bread to the delicious soup, everything tasted great and I can't wait to go back for more.
