Al's South Street Cafe offers remarkable homemade French bread sandwiches with generous portions and friendly service. The Lady Cafe Special is a standout, bursting with flavors. Prices are fair for the quality, with sandwiches served hot and fresh. The cafe has gained a reputation for its perfect Vegetarian sub, featuring fresh bread, marinated peppers, and onions, making it one of the best in the area. While some subs may lack intensity, the chicken pesto and stellar bread make up for it. The chicken salad at the State Street location is preferred over the Essex Street one, with a perfect recipe. The cafe has a lively atmosphere, with friendly and fast staff that create a fun experience while waiting in line. Overall, it remains a great spot for a satisfying meal and one of the best lunch spots around.
