Customer Reviews
I’ve eaten here twice and been incredibly pleased both times. This time we tried the Johnny and the Joey and both were great. Not your traditional sandwich shop as the sandwiches are served on focaccia rounds but the bread is perfect and the flavors are incredible. Such a great addition to the neighborhood!
The sandwiches are different, but awesome. Cut from a giant round, so you want about an 1/8 or 1/4 per person. Really nice, almost flat bread, good toppings. I was very impressed and keep thinking about that sandwich. There is a childcare part in the back (paid) so it can get pretty loud inside, but if you ait up front or outside, not too bad.
More like a 3.5. My wife and I ordered a hot coffee, an iced vanilla latte, and a few sandwiches. The food was solid—the sandwiches were expertly made, with flavors that blended perfectly without any single ingredient overpowering the others. I ordered the sausage egg and cheese sandwich but I preferred my wife’s egg and cheese only. However, I did have a mishap with my order, and I have to say, it likely wouldn’t have happened if the young lady at Shorty’s wasn’t wearing AirPods while taking orders and preparing food. In a food service setting, attention to detail must be the highest priority, and being fully present with customers should be the bare minimum.

I crave no sandwich like I crave these sandwiches. They are so, so good. Fluffy, varied, fresh, moist rounds. 1/8 is enough for lunch. 1/4 is pure decadence. Due to my schedule, it is hard for me to hit them during their open window. When I miss it, I lean on the window peering inside trying not to cry.
I really don't love giving this place a dismal review but we came on Sunday evening (opening weekend) at 5:30pm and they were out of sandwiches and coupons that were advertised in their announcement e-mail. All of that is totally fine though, I ended up ordering a salad for takeout. The salad was completely wrong thought--what I thought was bacon (for a California sun salad) ended up being beets, there was no avocado or egg, and no other ingredients except for a bitter iceberg lettuce and a few cherry tomatoes. It was not only the wrong salad but just an overall bad-tasting meal. I do have photos of the salad (and of the salad in the trash) so that the owners know I'm not just trying to get free food. I sent an extremely polite e-mail telling them I was rooting for them and that I love th
