Great sandwiches, great soup and even better customer service!…read more We ordered online-we customized our sandwiches (the only thing I would say is that their online system could use some love, it seems a little all over the place and the customization could be a little more in depth) But despite that, we ordered sandwiches and we both ordered the loaded potato soup. We debated on tasting it when we got there and then deciding to buy it (which is actually such a great idea) But we decided that we'd just go for it and ordered the soup too. The soup was phenomenal, so flavorful and warm, it was exactly what we needed on a snowy day. Our sandwiches contained everything we had ordered and they were beautifully made, not too messy but not lacking anything either. A footlong turkey, cheese, L,T, Bacon and Mayo was around $20. My husband's roast beef footlong with L,T, mayo, pickles, peppers, and provolone was a little over $22. A little pricey but like I said before-the sandwich wasn't lacking by any means. I think the best part was walking in and every single person working greets you so warmly. They seem so thrilled to do what they do every day and that alone makes me want to come back.

Parking is room, but remember we are in bear country - some have been by their dumpsters.

There were some token non-perishable groceries, but the main attraction is definitely the sandwiches. The store is on the site of the Burr's Mill, and a few yards from the Sue Grossman Still River Greenway. There even appears to be parking for the Greenway across the street. I had a BEC breakfast sandwich, and it was hot and eggy. The egg was perfectly proportioned to the roll, and would definitely go back for more or to try a lunch sandwich. They do have daily specials - the day I was there they were pushing a buffalo mac and cheese available on a sandwich or as a stand alone dish. The women at the deli were even kind enough to send my dog a piece of cheese when they noticed him being walked in the parking lot (an especially kind gesture because I did not plan to share my breakfast sandwich). They also have an ice cream station that serves local Peaches N Cream ice cream (although not particularly hopping in November). There is indoor and outdoor seating, and parking seems sufficient for the two businesses.

There were some surprise grapes that gave the sandwich some appreciated sweetness. Only note is that it did take some time to get our food and drinks but there was a lot of traction during our visit and what looked to be one person manning the register/making drinks and someone else in the back on the food. Some of us tried their Chai Latte-all agreed that it was quite milky and needed some sugar so there's that. I had the melon cucumber drink, it was good-I think would be lovely in summer weather but not as cucumbery as I would have hoped! Overall would recommend!

But it's still tasteless and watery to me. Adding mayo and seasonings to the sandwich help to a certain extent. But, IMO, the corporate recipe needs to be adjusted so it can meld in. Not the operator's fault. I really like this location. As I have said before, staff works hard. They're welcoming. The product is consistent. If I am going to nitpick, I came around 6pm (dinner rush) and many of the toppings and condiments (and napkins) were gone through and not backed up/ready. But the staff made it pleasant. I've been in their shoes on the line and on the front end in restaurants. So I've know what in the weeds feels like. Can't wait to go back. Maybe even today.

Welllll I finally stopped last week on the way home from picking my son up at basketball camp. It's such a cute spot. They have seating inside and outside. The parking is a little hectic because there aren't many spots available right in front. You can park down to the left and walk. The inside is a bit crowded with seating to the left and right. The girl working at the counter was so sweet and had lots of great energy. Their menu is amazing with lots of choices and some great specials. I had a passion fruit lemonade and it was so good I got another one for the way home. I got a buffalo chicken salad and it was a good size salad! My son got a burger and fries and loved it. The fries were crinkle cut but bigger and seasoned perfectly. I haven't had fries like that before. I look forward to going back and trying more on their menu!

There's also limited 15 minute parking behind the jail. The store, I had heard, was a cheese store. But it's a lot more than that. It's more of an international grocery store, with everything you need for a fancy dinner. Noodles, sauce, spices, frozen tortellini, etc, but of course there is also cheese! There's some in small refrigerated cases that are prepacked, and others that are cut to your requested weight. The cashier was very conscientious and weighed out the cheese as closely as she could. It was on the higher end of the price scale, but also delicious and I wish I had more! I tried the Bleu and gorgonzola, and although the gorgonzola was surprisingly soft, they were worth every cent!
