“We were blown away by this little treasure! We got the Crab Cake Po Boy and the Torta daily special sandwich, along with smoothies. All were phenomenal, and the customer service was so friendly! They were very accommodating with allergies which was especially appreciated. Would give 6/5 stars if possible!”
“This place was a little hidden but it's a good option if you're craving a sandwich. It is a walkable distance from the aquarium and field museum. I had the tuna sandwich. It was very good.”
“Love that we found this little place on our break from GoFest things 💜”
“This place is a hidden gem! We came in for lunch, was immediately greeted and seated. We had the pleasure to speak to management which is the entire family working together. Felt like home! Chilaquiles salsa verde are a must, lattes and their natural cold pressed juices. Thank you for such a great lunch we enjoyed it!”
