Every sandwich I’ve had here is so good. I try something different every time. Don’t sleep on the breakfast sandwiches. Folks that work there are great too.

The best part is the staff, Sophia always greets us with kindness, quickly learned our regular orders, and always gives us the best suggestions if we want to try something new. This is my go to spot!
