    We were driving to L.A. so I browsed the map for vegan friendly eats along that way and found this…read moregem. It's about a 12min drive west of I-10, located in a small business park strip mall. It's absolutely worth the diversion. They have a small section with groceries, and a larger area with refrigerated goods. I tried El Cubano (no tomato, no cabbage), Potato Salad, and Key Lime Parfait. El Cubano was actually delicious. Their thinly sliced and seasoned seitan was perfect, as was the accompanying sauces and toasted bread. I'd order this on repeat if I lived nearby. I was surprised by how great the potato salad was. It had the perfect mayo/mustard balance, which is extremely difficult to find. I need a gallon of this. The key lime parfait was ok. I expected more (in terms of flavor, not quantity), but it was not bad. I've just had much better so I wouldn't order it again. I'd be willing to try a different dessert next time. It was gluten free so that's a plus! There were many other things on the menu that caught my eye, but I only have one tummy. If we'd had a cooler I would've grabbed some tuNo salad, Egg-y salad, smoked chick'n & pasta, and CTK tempeh pâté from their refrigerated section, because everything looked delicious. But now I have the perfect excuse to return to CTK on my next PHX-LAX drive.

    The service here was great! The lady who took my order was so friendly and helpful and my order was…read moreready pretty quickly. I also love their little store section with the faux meats, seasonings, and merchandise. I ordered the bowl of chili, the Chupacabra sandwich and the Guadalajara burger. The chili was so flavorful and I enjoyed learning that they use Rancho Gordo beans. The Guadalajara burger had great toppings but as much as I try, I'm not the biggest fan of Tempeh. The chupacabra sandwich was good, the menu said that the 'chicken' is thinly sliced, I didn't realize just how thin it is. I think I would have preferred if it were slightly thicker and less cabbage. There was so much cabbage that it overpowered the rest of the sandwich. Overall, I think this place is a gem and I'd like to try their other menu items.

    What an incredible find in Palm Springs! Hands down, this serves the best sandwiches in the…read moreCoachella Valley. "The Marla" is easily the best tuna sub I've ever tasted--so fresh and bursting with flavor. Since they always have a steady line of people taking their time to explore the incredible selection of authentic Italian delicacies, ordering ahead for cashier pickup is the way to go. The shop is packed with amazing treats, from fresh focaccia and pizza to fine cheeses, cured meats, desserts, and imported pantry staples. Think of it as a neighborhood-sized version of Eataly. To top it off, parking is easy, the staff is welcoming, and the prices are surprisingly fair.

It was close to end of day so I was quick to browse the offerings before placing my sandwich order. Ended up getting a Caprese and Parma on focaccia. The staff seemed preoccupied with Cleaning but did their best to get my sandwich order out fast. I've heard nothing but good things about this place but this is my first time. I asked the lady behind the counter for a popular favorite recommendation and she seemed confused and just said everything was good. Two sandwiches around $40 so I was hoping for something great. Unfortunately we agreed that the taste was good, but nothing amazing and probably not what we were expecting for the price. Everything fell just a little bit flat. It wasn't bad but it wasn't memorable either. I ended up drizzling balsamic vinegar on the Caprese at home since they only put olive oil and a little bit of pesto on the bread and the whole thing just felt lacking ever so slightly. The shop itself was clean and well kept and had a lot to offer so I still recommend stopping by and browsing for Italian goodies. Just not my favorite sandwich spot. Maybe we will try something else another day or just stick to the pasta!

It's right up the street from my car wash and decided to try it out and I was Not Disappointed!!! I got the Chicken Pesto Crepe and it was beyond delicious with their special sauce, plenty of ingredients and the crepe wrapped around everything took it to another level. Definitely going back to try other Crepe sandwiches.

I went with the chicken crêpe since that's what was recommended to me, and the staff also suggested it. Honestly, the chicken was okay, but it was really tough and hard. The crêpe was also very oily. I was actually the first customer there in the morning, so I wasn't expecting it to be that oily. The place itself is really cute, and the staff was friendly. There was no wait, which was nice. I also saw that some celebrity chefs have visited, so I can definitely see why this place gets a lot of attention. I just wish the food had been better. I had heard so many good things and was looking forward to trying it, but unfortunately it didn't really hit the spot for me. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but I left feeling a little disappointed. 3 stars for the cute place and friendly service, but the food just wasn't there for me this time.

    My review somehow got lost on another profile, weird and interesting, so I'll start here again…read more This isn't my first time here, so I can say yet again as always, I expect great things from here and I wasn't disappointed. The very first time of course was when they first opened. So they were extremely busy. However, every time we've always had excellent food. Excellent service. And I love the soda machine. This time, it was it any different? However, not as busy, there were several couples that were eating. And they were rushed for lunch rush. It looked like for people picking up their orders, but I waited maybe about 15, maybe 20 at the most on my order. But I ordered the new Cooper cheese steak sandwich and a meatball sub with extra meatballs and sweet and hot peppers, I also ordered the fries got home and oh my good as usual. The food is delicious perfectly made. If you'd love warm subs hot subs, the fries were absolutely delicious. Crispy with a good flavor like they were coated with something. Overall, we are always impressed with their food. A little on the pricier side, but it's well worth the flavors. As I always say, "We enjoy it, but you'll have to make your own decision."

Came here with my family, we ordered 5 different sandwiches and everyone loved theirs. The place is clean, very cool modern deli vibes, and I got to meet the owner. Love a owner behind the counter place. Employees seemed happy too! Yes, the sandwiches and subs take a few minutes to make... but wow are they worth the extra few minutes. Yes, it's a $13-$15 sub but wow is it worth every penny. They make them big so a $8 mini is still a full meal. I hope this place grows, would love to see this level of quality in more places.
