Reviews
- sophisticated_antMy kid said let's just take a little stroll, and honestly I didn't even have to think about it — we had to come here. The food: they tweaked the sandwich thing, and the chef said they switched to using a pizza-style bread, which is how I understood it anyway. The vibe: super cozy and kinda healing, the kind of place where you can just zone out for a while. Service: really warm, and when the chef isn't busy he comes out and chats with the kids and tells them how everything's made. Line: weekdays are fine but weekends get pretty packed so grab a seat if you can. We got the signature tuna egg sandwich and the classic avocado chicken sandwich — both really good. Definitely coming back.
