What an amazing little lunch spot. Can't wait to go back for breakfast sometime. Friendly service, good vibe, quaint space. Love to see this in the funny little town of Galien.In a town where it seems everything else has gone out of business, Ray & Al's is a bustling sandwich shop and bakery putting out excellent food.We tried the liverwurst sandwich, which seemed appropriate given all the German heritage in the area. It was good, but I'd try something else next time. It's a unique flavor profile worth trying at least once. You might love it!The Cuban sandwich had a great, smokey flavor to it.Macaroni salad was sweeter than we like it, but that's just personal preference.Baked goods were tasty - tried a chocolate donut and a gluten free brown butter oatmeal chocolate cookie. (it'd probably be even better NOT gluten free ;))Indoor was busy but tables turned fast. There are also a handful of outdoor seating options as well.Well done Ray & Al!

This is the kind of hideaway sandwich and coffee shop that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a great secret that only the locals know about. The sandwiches are great (put the basil oil on your order and thank me later) and then you can finish your meal with a chocolate doughnut and infusco coffee. Incredible atmosphere & service that reminds you of what small towns are supposed to feel like ❤️

This is an outstanding restaurant in a very small town. Sandwiches are individually crafted, hot or cold, and delicious. Service is quick. Although the place is usually almost full, there is almost always a seat and in the summer they have outside seating. Don't miss it!
You get to meet Ray and Al, have a really good sandwich maybe a donut and Sprecher. What's not to like?

This place is an absolute gem. We've been twice now, and have many more trips there in the future. Pics are from both visits. All I'm reviewing specifically is my sandwich from the last visit. I will say that *everything* we've had has ranged from good to great. There's no negatives at all in our experiences.The open space is warm, friendly, "homey," inviting. Staff if so warm, friendly, and caring. They seem to truly get what they're there for, and deliver it so well.Last visit, I went specifically for the highly bragged up Spaghetti Sandwich.I was prepared to be underwhelmed. Instead, I was overwhelmed, and will be back for another. And another..... and.... yeah! This is simplicity at it's best. A nice crispy bun, spaghetti that is cooked perfectly; just a bit of tooth left in it. The sauce was my concern, as I was expecting a gooey, dripping sandwich destroying the bun. They've dialed this in. Just enough moisture to make it really be a serving of spaghetti, but not so much that it ruins the sandwich experience. If you're avoiding carbs, who cares; order one anyway and be pleasantly surprised.Support these folks with frequent visits. You'll be pleased. And you'll be helping the first new business in Galien I believe in years. It's a beautiful drive, and a totally enjoyable destination

Simple and effective. I'm glad this restaurant is here and doing well. I enjoyed the veggie sandwich on grilled sourdough. They had some day-old pastries for half-price. The seating is comfortable and the prices are reasonable. The selection of sandwiches is wide without being excessive. I really hope this lunchroom continues to thrive! It's bringing life to the area.Vegetarian options: Two vegetarian signature sandwiches. Options for building your own vegetarian sandwich. Numerous vegetarian sides and pastries.
