Kiana LynnNovember 19, 2014A warm, yummy piece of cheesy-Lou's sauce bread with every cup of soup. Chowder is creamy with soft chunks of clam. Love that toppings are just enough, not overdone. Hate disproportionate produce :)
Kevin ParkAugust 24, 2013First time here and I got the Italian special (pictured). Delicious! I also tried the Roma Club (turkey, avocado, and bacon. Worth the wait, but you should order ahead.
Stephen SaribalisJune 15, 2019Got the Italian special and the Amicado. Both delicious. Soft roll perfectly toasted. Did not disappoint. Def ranks top 7 in my endless quest for the best sandwich in the city
1st time. Got a breakfast and lunch. Haven't eaten lunch yet (buffalo chicken sandwich), but Chicken Apple Sausage and Egg sandwich was amazing. Piping hot, perfect amount of everything.Will be back!
Trying different sandwiches and working my way across the sandwich board and haven't had a bad one yet. Love the fresh rolls they use.
steenApril 1, 2018Busy joint so there will be a wait after you order but portions are big so nice to share.
Rachel RebeccaNovember 20, 2016The sandwiches here are really really good! I really enjoy their sandwiches and I have been here quite a number of times the service here is decently friendly!
awesome sandwiches! my personal fave is roast beef and avocado on Dutch Crunch with everything. don't forget Lou's special sauce.
Adriano TadaoDecember 7, 2016Hot Pastrame is perhaps big enough to share between two people. Is very delicious!
Kinda wish the chicken pesto was whole not sliced chicken, but otherwise amazing sandwiches. Great bread, sauce, toppings... Perfect!
Amy MatsunoMay 30, 2013Best sandwich in the city...or ever. The Dutch Crunch bread here is not one bit overrated...worth every bite. The special sauce (garlicky & creamy) is a must-have,
Ebtihaj GhareebSeptember 8, 2015It is my first time. I choosed the Turky with Cranberry, i love it❤️. I highly recommend it.
Extra special sauce is a must. I had the pastrami and it's as good as any I've had. Get your sandwich toasted and you won't regret it. Clam chowder is good as well.
GOPAGO is the way to go! Use this free app to order and pay beforehand, check status, then cut the line when you arrive to pick up.
Dana WeinbergerJune 7, 2019It's such a cute little place & my sammich & caramel macchiato were both so yummy!
Eric CastroJuly 3, 2016Turkey & cranberry with pepper jack on soft, sweet roll. Hold the pickles (otherwise sandwich is too wet)
John EsplanaSeptember 13, 2011My friend Emily's family owns this cafe. The sandwiches are all tasty my favorite is the Turkey Cranberry and don't forget Lou's Special Sauce on all the sandwiches.
- Buffalo chicken sammie. Blood orange San Pelligrino soda. Perfect combo.
Amy BAugust 9, 2013Eating here will make you happy. Ami-Cado possibly best sandwich I've ever had. Toast it.
All sandwiches are great choices. My personal fave is the Rb Mushroom
If you're new, get the turkey-cran or crab melt on Dutch crunch and you won't be disappointed.
- Get it toasted. Add extra sauce. Jalapeno Spread. Amazing bread. You wont regret it.
Neel HajareJuly 9, 2023Breakfast sandwich and chicken pesto were decent but not worth a special trip
Long lines but the pastrami sandwich is with the wait.- Also, their Andes Mint are free. You don't know til you ask (;
