I love, love, love the sandwiches here.The specialty sandwiches can be a little pricey, but they are worth it!The soups are homemade and change often with unique flavors like roasted red pepper and goat cheese...Hmm!
Very charming, but very small.There's probably only seating for 12 people.Or the sandwiches were SO GOOD!My husband's grilled cheese was perfect, and my roast beef with horseradish mayonnaise and cheddar cheese on ciabatta was excellent as well.
