Lunch is amazing here, grab a baguette and sip a coffee mmmmmm so good!
Elliott PoppelJanuary 26, 2015Hot Pastrami. This special isn't always on the menu. Dijon mustard, sweet onion, pickles, Thousand Island dressing and swiss.
Kale salad is a go to. Get here early! By noon you'll be waiting 30+ mins to order.
John SampognaMay 21, 2012@kaithack enjoys the sandwiches on Monday's. Get here early and you'll see her arrive on her vintage Harley.
Lines are long, but the baguette sandwiches and kale salad are worth it.
I'm not a salad guy normally but their kale salad is amazing! And I don't normally like kale but somehow their kale isn't bitter at all!
Benjy WeinbergerJanuary 4, 2014The kale salad is everything kale should be. The turkey sandwich is also delightful.- Cash only for less than $5. Great arugula salad with the sandos.
Great little spot, just be prepared to wait half an hour in line during lunch.
Ashlyn AiuMay 6, 2016All the warm sandwiches here are awesome. A little expensive, but the food is great.
Mehul KarJanuary 24, 2017The people behind the counter all seemed angry and unhappy with their jobs--I was scared to ask for anything.
Mike DrumAugust 7, 2013Baguettes nicely priced, but might be better warm. Can't wait to try a regular sandwich.
Kale salad is okay but try any salad that has smoked chicken in it!
Avoid the long lunch hour lines by coming before noon or after 1:30pm. You can also call in your order for pickup.
Charlotte LilleyFebruary 27, 2013Gem of a place. One of the best kale salads in the city. Share this salad and a sandwich and you're golden!
Keep your eye out for grilled goat specials (sorry @mutgoff!). They're elusive and fine. Just harangue Vinny about it and he'll have it on when possible.
Erin LaveryJune 1, 2012People are raving about this place, I'm in the hood, sooo. The sandwiches are $10, the menu's small & the place sits about 15.
Don't be afraid to go off-menu. Vinny the chef will whip up any crazy concoction you can think of, and with style!
Use #darwinline for latest line updates! Saves you the trip down to look for yourself :-)
Irina LeonidovnaOctober 23, 2018Delicious food but waaay too expensive. 15 bucks for baguette? I mean...
The baguettes are awesome: Mozzarella + Heirloom Tomato is a real winner.
Pastrami sandwich was excellent. The menu changes every two weeks.

"The new ice cream shop is great. Try one of the pies, especially the pb and j. Tartine is known for their baked goods but the sandwiches and salads are excellent as well."

"You can add extras to the grilled cheese, which is definitely worth it. Also, all the salads are great."

"Open late, serves good quality decaf espresso and the barista knows how to brew it. Recommended!"
