Fera's Electric Tower Cafe

This is my go-to lunch place for me. I work at Fountain Plaza, so when I forget to pack something for lunch, I usually head here. It’s the cheapest sandwich place in the city, or at least near my specific location. I know other coworkers go to a few other places I will not name, but those other places charge a minimum of two bucks higher or more for the same sandwich.

They always have people in there, which is a great sign. It’s inside the Electric Tower, so there’s a nice lobby to walk through to get to their cafe. The employees are always so sweet, and they make sure to get your order correct - which is awesome, considering how many places don’t really care if your order is right! I really appreciate that - they double check your order before starting it.
It’s a basic cafe, and they serve up the typical sandwiches you’d expect. I’ll be honest, I’ve never ordered anything but sandwiches, so I don’t know what else they offer! The size of the sandwiches is something else I like. They are not enormous, and can't fit your mouth around them, NY deli style sandwiches (which are great, but there’s a time and place for everything!). These are the perfect size, with the perfect ratio of bread to filling, at least to me. I want to be able to finish the whole sandwich without feeling like I overate or am stuffed to the gills. So the portions are the correct size, regardless of what anyone else might say.

My go to’s are a basic turkey with mayo and lettuce, or a hot corned beef with swiss and mustard on rye. I can’t speak for the other items, but if they are as good as those two, then you can’t go wrong!

Oh, and there’s always a Dad joke written on their board above the soda!

Wow what a great salad and price!

The food was amazing today! Turkey club sub was perfect, bacon was crisp but not burnt. The Italian wedding soup was *chef's kiss* perfect. We will definitely be ordering again.

Sue the owner knows EVERYONE'S name. If you come in more than once, she will remember you. Her staff is top notch. Jenny is amazing! The soups are homemade and out of this world. Their lunch special for $7.75 is the best deal around!

Fast forward another week and, by chance, we stumbled into the Electric Tower to see the new renovation and long and behold, there it was, Fera's. If you could have only seen the excitement in my eyes.... like a kid in a candy store. Since this discovery, me and my co-worker have frequented Fera's at least twice a week.

Great spot for lunch! I love the salads
