Sandwich Spot · Mid-City West · 105 tips and reviews
Sarah B.: Of the vegan/veggie options, the best is the Vegan Banh Mi (seasonal). If they don't have that try the drunken goat not just grilled cheese, but be warned it is not served grilled!
Lafan B: Kale salad with tuna and quinoa beet samples are the best.
Brody Brown: Honestly I could eat the Not So Fried Chicken Sandwich (with BBQ sauce) 7 times a week...as opposed to the four times a week I usually currently eat it. #rawr #chomp #yum

Stacy Reynaud: Huge salads. I had the butter lettuce with cranberries and goat feta - the lettuce was perfectly crisp. Excellent
David Skinner: Excellent brunch - egg sandwich, pancakes, coffee...
People: Sure, you can get artisan cheese, pastries and preparedfoods at this family market, but the best dish could be on the patio — whereyou might spy stars like Jake Gyllenhaal mid-bite.

Bullfrog & Baum: You can’t go wrong this extensive, innovate menu. If you need help choosing, start with the burrata salad and finish with the tiramisu.
Kirsten Alana: If the 'Blueberry Limonata' is on the menu, order it. Great, refreshing cocktail that perfectly showcases its namesake flavors.
Phoenix 💥💥💥: Go for the three-course dinner
