I love this place. The food is always fresh. The lattes are always well done. The staff is kind and pleasant to work with. As a plus, they sell Cougar Gold Cheese which is difficult to get on this side of the state. Definitely check them out.

(Edited)- Autumn handled the situation so well and with so much grace. Mistakes happen and she made sure to compensate me and make up for the previous error. She gave me a free sandwich that was absolutely delicious and up to par. Autumn was very sweet! I really appreciate her attentiveness to customers and handles feedback very well.
I ordered to go, for work. When I opened the box right away I could tell my sandwich was burnt. I get that I ordered a hot pressed sandwich but it was extremely burnt and hard. Ive had this before and didn’t look anywhere near as toasted. It was literally like eating burnt toast which made it hard to enjoy the sandwich.

Delicious Reuben! Sad I didn’t get a chance to try the Cubano but it was very tasty. Ordered via pickup with some friends and it was a great fulfilling lunch.

I eat here at least once a week and tried several sandwiches on the menu. This is the best sandwich place in town. The cold roast beef and roast beef panini are my favorite. The cold sandwiches come with a ton of fresh vegies on them. Recommend to anyone looking for that east cost deli sandwich experience.

TERRIBLE.
Almost $20 per sandwich and both sandwiches were wrong. They didn't even bother putting cheese on The Italian....which clearly comes with cheese. They left off the jalapeños I paid an extra $1 for on the Beef and Cheddar.
Alara used to be good, but it's declined in quality SHARPLY.
club sandwich was delicious 10/10 my boyfriend got a grilled cheese and ham and devoured that sandwich

Cute and cozy cafe by the water front. Coffee and drinks are amazing and delicious. Sammies, soups & salads are heavenly 😋 So glad I found this gem 🙏🏼

I've had 3 different sandwiches delivered from this place and let me tell you. EVERY sandwich should taste this GOOD!! A bit pricey but no more than the rest of Washington. In fact. If you were to source and prepare, with the same quality ingredients, it would cost you more, buying the ingredients from the grocery and/or specialty shops. The only thing is if you prepared yourself, you might be able to eek out 2 Sammies instead of 1.
Vegetarian options: Any sandwich can be made with vegetarians in mind.
