BEST place to grab a gourmet sandwich and anything else delicious that you want from a small gourmet grocery store. Pick-up some crackers or chips with fresh made hummus or cheeses, homemade desserts and side dishes. Look up their sandwich menu online prior and call your sandwich in over the phone to beat the lines at lunch time any day of the week/weekend. You can sit outside to eat as well. You won't be disappointed!
