I am currently on the search for the BEST Cuban sandwich(es) in Lancaster area and I have to admit…read morethis unassuming corner store is a top contender so far. This Dominican run store offers a menu of various different sandwiches available on either a roll or as a sub. I have driven past this store numerous times but tried them one day as I happened to be in the neighborhood for work. The exterior of the store adorns colorful photos of different sandwiches and a Cuban sandwich marks the front door. You can find various snacks and drinks here as well as some basic groceries but the real reason to go is for the sandwiches. I have yet to try any of their sandwiches other than their Cuban however I have seen sandwiches that other customers have ordered and they look appetizing. Although I get tempted to try something else I keep getting drawn back to the Cuban. At $7.00 it is sizeable, delicious, and recommended. There is another small store with the same name on Woodward St. but they claim no affiliation with this location. Ironically, they both feature the same menu, same prices, and even made by the same printer. Beware when you order though if you do not speak Spanish. Usually there is one of three women manning the counter and each has varying levels of comprehension of English. One of them has gotten my order right everytime. Another got my order right but when I asked questions she had to have one of the men communicate with me. The third excluded items from my order. The second two women do not know what a traditional Cuban sandwich consists of and will ask you if you want lettuce, onion, tomato, salt, pepper, oregano, and even oil and vinegar as if they have memorized a script for taking orders for Italian subs. They even ask if you want it "toasty", meaning pressed, which of course you do...it's a Cuban sandwich!!! You may want to double check your order with the guy making the sandwiches to ensure accuracy and to receive what you ordered. Beware how you pay as well. If you pay cash your bill will total $7.00 but if you pay with debit card you will receive an unannounced additional charge. There is no signage indicating this and you will not be informed about it when paying. If you ask at least two of the women they will speak Spanish to one of the men who will then have to explain it to you. Overall, the Cuban sandwich is great. It is filling, proportioned well, and priced nicely. Their other sandwiches look good and fall in line with prices and size. If you get the Cuban, a nice compliment are the Raylicious brand garlic plantain chips they sell there. My rating is based on the Cuban sandwich but I can only imagine their other sandwiches are good too. One day I will override my inclination toward the Cuban and get something else but what will most likely happen is I will order a sub and also order a Cuban as backup.

The sandwiches are delicious, good quality meat and plentiful. The prices can't be beat and Ihe…read morestaff is friendly. Being new to the neighborhood finding a good sandwich shop was important to find and O & J will be my go to.

3.5 Review What a…read morelovely, revitalized (previously, The Savory Gourmet) addition to Lititz. So many delectable condiments (pickles, mustard, crackers, bread, butter, sardines, beautiful dish towels, wooden charcuterie boards, candles, chocolates, salamis and so much more. Today we received a tasting of gouda, blue and goat cheeses; yum! Free Gouda samples (nice sized chunks too), for opening day weekend. These owners are serious about their cheese, but not very friendly, at least from what I experienced. "I would like to sample one of these blues, please." "Nope, we don't have that one available for sampling." How would I be able to tell if I like it; I asked. Five different blue cheeses to choose from, what makes them different from one another, I asked. The male owner, in a condescending tone; "What exactly are you wanting to know? Do you want to know the intensity of the blue?" "Um, yeah; I guess." The owner responds, this one is soaked in a liquor (so, I'm thinking; ooh, I wanna try that one). I can't though, it's wrapped and it's not a cheese already out, for sampling. "What about the other blue cheeses, what are they like?" Right now, my voice is quavering; is it not okay to ask what the cheese tastes like? Now I'm reminiscing about Di Bruno Brothers cheese shop, in Little Italy Philadelphia, PA. They have an entire store of cheese and the personnel behind the massive counter, allows you to sample, till your hearts content, gushing about their cheeses and inquiring how you like the cheese. It's a full on cheesy experience. That experience was glorious, this was .. different. Though I must admit, the shop's layout, offerings, are all very tempting - to include those chocolate croissants, behind their glass case. According to one of the employees, some cheeses will be a constant fixture in this store, but as the seasons change, so will some of their other offerings. Sadly, not every cheese was available to sample, but co-workers will allow samples of whatever was ready that day. Do note that the cheese wrapped for sale, cannot be cut into smaller slices and re-wrapped, like some other cheese shops. Requesting a smaller portion, may not be done. I say this because, I may need only a specific amount for a recipe or to munch on, with one of your many crackers to choose among. Good cheese is expensive. I was also looking for some fresh baguettes, but the only bread available were in their freezer. Owners aside, Lititz Cheese Shop staff were helpful and friendly. Whatever you asked of them, they obliged and provided cheese knowledge.

The shelves are packed with a huge selection of imported canned goods, pasta, cheeses, and so on. With the authentic ingredients imported directly from Europe, you can taste the origin of foods.

On the shelves, the cheese, tea, pickles are carefully catagorized and varied by type -- definately helpful for customers to find their hometown flavors.
