What People Are Saying
from Google"I had a chicken salad sandwich on a whole wheat sub roll. I had it with avocado, lettuce and tomato and it was absolutely delicious. I also had their brewed coffee and a chocolate chip cookie. As soon as I walked in, I felt the warmth of the people who operate this lovely little café."
"Adorable little cafe. Feels very mom-and-pop shop-like. There are tons of sandwich options and cofee and tea (I think I saw about a dozen flavors of Stash tea). They had muffins and homemade cookies. They were closing within the hour so maybe that’s why the case was pretty empty, but the cookies were gooey and soft. No complaints. Plenty of cooler drinks too (like four massive coolers). And the seating on the street out front is GORGEOUS. Look at those trees! Plenty of parking and the t is just across the street."
"I love coming back here everytime I visit my girlfriends home town. The couple are lovely and the food is just so good. Can't recommend enough."
"I tried the Roma Prosciutto and Pesto Chicken, both were excellent."
"Incredible sandwiches, try the pesto chicken sandwich for sure! Great place for a quick lunch around Brandeis University! Good environment to sit and work too."
