    Great spot in Midtown for fresh, quality sandwiches. The sandwiches are expertly packed and have a nice brightness to them with flavors that range from Mediterranean, Italian to Asian fusion

    It's a nice place to grab lunch, especially if you take it to go and have it in the park. Then it's a real picnic in the park😂 I recommend the Mediterranean salad (comes w pita+tzatziki)& sandwiches

    Big portions, the Chimi Chicken sandwich is amazing. The pita chips in the hummus snack are too hard, but the hummus itself is delicious. Worth the price.

    Chicken pesto panini on ciabatta has fresh mozzarella and sundried tomatoes. Tastes great with the harissa aioli it comes with on the side

    Holy moly. The breakfast brioche with ham and cheese is ridiculously good. This place plays swanky old tunes and has power outlets to recharge you!! I will definitely be back!

    This place is awesome. The crunchy tuna sandwich is without doubt the best tuna fish sandwich I’ve ever had. It almost feels incorrect to call it that.

    Yup! My favorite is the Mediterranean breakfast platter because it's just absolutely delicious. The coffees are tasty and the cookies are out of this world.

    Superbly prepared sandwiches and panini. Excellent, high-quality ingredients in creative varieties. There are three or four tables with seating.

    Breakfast sandwiches. Spicy sauces and dressings are great. Crunchy tuna on pita or the grilled halloumi with chimichurri sandwich are my go-tos.

    The Mediterranean Salad is so flavorful! Definitely enough for a lunch, especially since it comes with a side of Pita. Try the sweet potato fries side if you're extra hungry! Both great.
