We got the vegan combo grilled wrap with roasted red peppers and without the special veggie mix, but we asked for some on the side when we went in to pick it up. (I’m not a fan of green peppers, and my husband can’t eat raw onions, so this way we could pick and choose. Turns out the green peppers were perfectly fine! They must have mellowed while marinating.). We chose the whole wheat wrap. It had a nice nutty flavor to it. The “carpaccio” and/or “prosciutto” was quite nice! It was way more tender than most other vegan deli slices I’ve had. (Apparently they import it from Italy). The flavors were excellent! We waited a few hours before eating it, since we got it for a later lunch as soon as they opened at 10:00 and kept it in a cooler. It was a little soggy in places, but still quite

A very good alternative to any other sandwich shop / deli. AND they have a drive thru! Conveniently located off of E. Main st. / Rt. 91. The staff were very fast & courteous and the establishment presented a nice atmosphere, with indoor seating. Ample parking.

We ordered 4 sandwiches. 3 came with tomatoes but we only wanted 2 without tomatoes because a child who was gonna eat some of the grinder is severely allergic to tomatoes. They didn't listen and put everything on the grinders when all we wanted was american cheese, ham, lettuce and mayo. Another with turkey, american cheese, lettuce and mayo. They decided to put tomatoes, peppers, onion, olives and everything under the sun on these sandwiches. I will not be returning as these girls didn't not pay attention or even listen when there was no noise and it was fairly quiet.

I would like to amend my earlier review. every Tuesday afternoon, I go through a very aggressive and painful medical treatment. On the way home, I often stop to pick up Buckeyes as a sort of reward for me. Being diabetic, these are probably not the best snack items for me, but after what I go through, I say, I deserve them. Anyway, , a little ray of sunshine waits for me at the window. Her name is Nicole and she always has a smile and kind words for everyone! There is also another young woman who works with her who is also so friendly - however I did not catch her name. But she’s a lovely young lady. It may not seem like much-But it is absolutely appreciated and I thought they should be acknowledged.

The eggplant grinder I got was inedible. The bread felt stale There was hardly any sauce and when I called and asked if there was cheese on the eggplant Parmesan they said the cheese is baked into the eggplant. I took one bite and spit it out. Then my brother ordered the stuffed Banana PepperS. He got one Pepper for $5.99. It’s absolutely ridiculous what they charge for food that just sits in a fridge for days. I’m done with them. For good!!! I can’t continue ie to give these places chance after just to get low quality inedible food that just goes in the garbage.
