Very tasty turkey sandwich with whatever you want on it. I will ask for less or no sauce next time as I don't like too much. Sammer was great. Those house made chips are too good. As you can see in my photo they loaded me the eff up and I ate every piece. Open till 6:30 and close to my hotel so nice for a simple dinner.

Everything was delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. No processed meats are used here. The milkshakes, slushy strawberry lemonade and sandwiches were da Can't comment on the desserts as we were to full, but I'm sure they wouldn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend and absolutely coming back. Thank you for the delicious meal!

My pretzel sandwich was very wet but delicious, the mushroom was perfect. Decaf was good, but not to die for. I will definitely go back and check out their other vegan sandwiches!

This place is super super delicious and I love that they have half size sandwiches now, as the portions are so generous. The restuarant itself is simple, but the food definitely makes up for that. The major downside is that both times I have been there the food takes quite a long time (half an hour or more) to come out, which is disappointing as it presents as a fast food takeaway place. Both times I could tell people on lunch breaks were getting g frustrated. Hope they can sort that out in the future!

Good, but not great. Firstly, I like what they are trying to do here; very unique flavours and sandwiches! I got the northern twist, the flavour combo with the roast beef, egg, caramelized onion. Love it. Can't go wrong with that. However: the roast beef! It was 60% just beef fat, it made the sandwich drip with grease and most of the roast beef was inedible as it was just the white beef fat trimmings, with a tiny bit of meat attached.
So disappointing! I love beef fat, when it is seared and cooked properly. But not when it is just white and half cooked clinging inside your sandwich. not good. Would of been a 5 out of 5 if the roast beef was better!
