We ordered catering for an office lunch. They did a great job! The food was fantastic. I love that the sandwich options are not just your obligatory Italian, Turkey/Avocado and Veggie that every other lunch restaurant does. These are all unique and delicious!! Brandon was awesome with our order. I recommend calling the cafe, as opposed to emailing. Can't wait to have them cater a b'fast meeting.

One of the best place to get a sandwich in metro Detroit. The fresh focaccia bread and their garlic aioli make a big difference compare to other deli. They bring the sandwich alive and more depth than just meat and bread.
Tried their special menu today. Chicken culet, herb aioli, roasted red pepper and lots of arugula. Yum.

I really wanted to give this place five stars. The shop itself is clean, the branding is on point, the staff is super friendly, service is fairly quick, and the location is convenient. The sandwich size is generous, and the bread was fresh and tasty.

I’m a Reuben person, and I really wanted to love their version. The idea of serving it on focaccia is unique and could have been great, but it fell short for me. The cabbage salad on top was too watery, which made the bread soggy, though not completely inedible. The real letdown was the lack of corned beef 😭 for a Reuben, that’s the star of the show, and it just wasn’t there in a meaningful way.

I appreciate the concept and the friendliness of the team, but the execution on the Reuben didn’t hit the mark for me.

Great sandwiches and nice outdoor seating!! Super fresh food and friendly staff. I had to change something to my order and they helped me pick something I could have! Definitely best sandwich place in town 😎

Took the muffuletta and caesar salad across the street to Lone Light Spirits and both were very tasty! Caesar was a really great deal and the chicken was excellent. $15 for the muffuletta felt a little pricey for the size but it was delicious so I'll definitely come back. Staff was friendly and service was quick. The inside isn't anything special but the outdoor patio in the park next door is very nice.

The sandwiches are incredibly high quality and very delicious. I also had a bowl of the tomato basil soup which was very good. All the ingredients were fresh and had a great taste.

I have literally been wanting to try this place forever and finally had a date lunch with my husband and enjoyed some awesome sandwiches. The service was great, super nice and helpful. I got the Turkey Bella and the only thing I didn’t love, which I didn’t know it was going to be like that, but the sandwich came hot. I don’t care for hot sandwiches and would tell them to make it cold next time. But the flavor, and the bread was all delicous. The aioli was superb and they have Great Lakes Kettle Chips, which are so good! My husband got the Piacenza Italian sandwich and he said it was excellent, a bit spicy, but so good. There isn’t much seating and the chairs are pretty uncomfortable.

One of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever had. Very clean, comfortable, air conditioned environment in beautiful downtown Farmington. Friendly employees. Looking forward to returning soon.

This place makes some of the best sandwiches around!!! Best ingredients, best bread, best combinations. The food is fantastic. And the sandwiches are huge.

The only thing that stopped me from giving them five stars is the wait when I go in. I've had a few pickups where I've had to wait a very long time- the most recent was ridiculous. I called and placed an order for pickup that i was told would be ready in 25-30 minutes. I waited the 25 minutes to go to the store for pickup (knowing it gets busy), then waited another 30 in the store before it was ready. I had checked in, paid, (and left a tip) and watched everyone else behind me walk out with their food from orders that they placed inside that were not call ahead orders. No apology, no sorry, no nothing from the staff.

I love the food but they really need to organize a bit better. Keep in mind, the food is great but be prepared to wait. And maybe hold off on tipping before you get your order.

Where do I begin? First of all where has this place been on our dining roster all our lives?! I thought about going to the downtown location several times but never made it. Found myself in downtown Farmington on a Saturday afternoon and thought it sounded like a great respite. Shared a sandwich with my better half---it's an hour later and we're still thinking about it! Crispiest yet chewy focaccia, paper thin high quality Italian meats, perfect ratio of garnishes: fresh mozzarella, caramelized onions and pesto made this Italian sandwich delicate, delectable and downright delicious. Visit this place if you are craving a bit of Italy. Best sandwich in Detroit area hands down.

I was sitting at a nearby brewery when I noticed a familiar pain in my lower torso. I was hungry.
So, I asked the staff if they had food. No. But, they had menus from nearby restaurants. The first one I grabbed was for La Pecora Nera. I am so glad I did.
I haven't had a great muffuletta since New Orleans, pre-Katrina. Been a minute.
Here. I can confidently state: The Muffuletta rocks!
The fact that I walked in 5 minutes before closing made no difference to the staff. I was out of there 4 minutes later with a huge, delicious, messy, warm, wonderful muffuletta.
Arguably, for me, outside of an authentic Cuban sandwich, there is nothing humankind has made to go between two pieces of bread that is better than an authentic muffuletta. It is a truly magnificent construction and the ones they make here belong in the pantheon of the greats. I am not worthy, but I am exceedingly thankful. It's 45 minutes from home on a good day but,
I. Will. Be. Back.
