Visiting my cousin for the day and she took me to L&E for lunch…read more She suggested The House Special Pesto (on a pesto-Jack bagel) -- y'all this sandwich was SO GOOD. Giant chunks of flavorful and moist chicken, shredded lettuce and tomatoes (I nixed the onions), on a super soft bagel. The bagel itself was so delicious; the mix of warm bagel and oils from the pesto and cheese made it delicious and soft. I scarfed down half my sandwich and saved the rest for later. Will definitely head back another visit for more sandwiches and bagels! Physically it's a moderately large space with tables inside, tidy and clean.

The coffee was delicious and the food was really good as well. Prices are decent and they have good customer service. What we liked most was the decorations and ambiance.

First impressions, the signage fits the downtown well, and is visible enough that makes them easy…read moreto find in downtown Gustine. Seating area consists of 3 tables, and they've got one of those mini arcade games for the kiddos as well. Overall pretty small dining area but Gustine isn't a big city so didn'texpect a ton of seating. Menu is displayed on a couple of monitors in the wall as you come in. The pasta is cooked in an open kitchen right behind the counter as you order. Pretty neat to be able to watch them make your order. Ordered the Volcanic Fettuccine because who doesn't like a spicy Italian dish right? Got it in a bread bowl with added chicken so cost was just shy of 20 bucks because of the upgrades. Didn't end up eating on site because it was really close to closing time for them and didn't want to be "that guy" so took my order home. The fettuccine was really good, cooked well, and the sauce was actually spicy. Not as spicy as I was hoping it would be, but it did have a nice kick. I'd definitely have it again. Overall, nice family run place with home made pasta. Would have ordered a pizza, but they ran out of pizza dough, since it is house made they don't have any extra in the fridge/freezer like you'd expect at a lot of places. If you are in the Gustine area looking for some really good home made pasta check them out. Definitely worth the drive.

Oh my goodness. I have seen this place on other TikToks and decided to go visit. The restaurant is…read moreonly open 5 hours Tuesday- Saturday and is quite small. I decided to try the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken in a bread bowl and hubby had volcanic fettuccine with chicken. The chicken and Alfredo were seasoned. Unlike other places where everything is so bland. I cannot recommend Pasta 209 enough. If you are ever in Gustine between 3-8, stop by and give it a try! It is yummy!!!!

Andrew, the owner, was behind the counter today and recommended the honey BBQ meat sticks, and they…read morewere juicy and delicious! Not your typical dry meat stick. We also bought 6 flavors of sausages, tried the smoked Irish style beer bangers so far, and they were indeed beer-forward and delicious. Andrew made us feel very welcome and was well informed about all the sausage flavors. Definitely coming back!

I stopped by Wolfsen's Meat and Sausage in Gustine and was immediately impressed by their…read moreselection. They have more varieties of sausage than I have ever seen. I picked up some chicken artichoke, a beer sausage, and a smoked maple. The smoked maple was outstanding and easily my favorite. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They greeted me right away and asked what I wanted to order, which I always appreciate. I also decided to try a brisket sandwich, which looked too good to pass up. The brisket itself was very good and full of flavor. That said, I am someone who pays close attention to food handling. I tend to notice when gloves are used as a substitute for proper hygiene rather than an added layer of protection. Unfortunately, that showed up here. The employee making my sandwich handled a large magic marker to write something, then immediately went back to preparing food without changing gloves. That is always disappointing to see. Because of that, I ended up eating more of the meat and less of the bread, but the quality of the brisket still stood out. I did take a picture of my brisket sandwich, but the picture did not do it justice, so I decided not to post it. Overall, there is a lot to like here, especially the incredible sausage selection and the friendly service. I would definitely come back to try the tri-tip sandwich. I just hope the magic maker disappears.

While I visit Newman rather sporadically just to drop in on the parentals, I know now about C.R…read more Fudge Company hidden dangerously close around the corner. Now, I suddenly feel those visits may increase exponentially. I've also never stepped in the store, but have only longingly gazed at it from outside, as they were still closed for the New Year. But if there's one thing I can say about it, it's that the fudge is amazing. Unfortunately, I could only try two kinds, but the fact that I plowed through the Tupperware full of the Peppermint fudge seems to tell me I'd probably enjoy other varieties with as much enthusiasm. I've also tried the Gingerbread but the Peppermint won me over. It's incredibly soft with chunks of soft peppermint candy sunk into the chocolate. But unlike other fudge that often feels so dense and so sugary your teeth start to hurt, C.R.'s makes it feel like a light indulgence and fantastic (nightly) dessert--so good that you eat five or six and pretty soon you've managed to eat your way to the bottom of the box. My mom tells me that the fudge's sweetness is matched only by Carol herself who makes the delectable squares. It warms me to know such talent surfaces in a little town, and unlike other shops that may fall by the wayside, C.R. Fudge better stay in business if the people know what's good for them. As the saying goes, "Eating some fudge a day keeps the blues away as well as your six pack abs but no one really cares about that."
