Tried half of the Queen Bee and the Chicken Pesto--both were seriously impressive…read more The focaccia is beautifully baked with a crunchy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. It was a touch oily on the outside, which made it a bit messy to eat, but that richness definitely added to the flavor. The Queen Bee had a perfect balance: creamy ricotta, sweet honey, and fresh green pear all working together effortlessly. The pine nuts were a great finishing touch, tying everything together with a subtle nuttiness. It's easy to see why the Chicken Pesto is a crowd favorite. If you're into pesto, arugula, and sun-dried tomatoes, this one hits all the right notes--especially on that toasted basil focaccia. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Only downside is the tough parking situation, but honestly, it's a deli I'd still go out of my way for.

Portion size? It's a BIG sandwich. I think I was expecting the sandwich to be more reminiscent of the type of focaccia sandwiches I had in Italy, but in truth it was just "heavy". The focaccia bread was not light and fluffy, but more dense and oily. I think these sandwiches would cater to many people here as showcased in the other reviews, but just wasn't for me. Glad to have given it a try though! Service was kind and friendly!

It's got roast beef, mushrooms, marinated cream cheese, jack cheese, onions, and pepperoncinis on a toasted French roll. That's how you can oder it. For me I skipped the onions and added mayo just to switch it up a little, and as always, it was amazing. The bread had that nice toast on it, a little crispy on the outside but still soft. The roast beef was stacked in there, super juicy, with all that melted cheese just covering everything. You can see the mushrooms and peppers mixed in, and it all kind of blends together in every bite. It's messy as heck with all the juices soaking into the bread, but soooo good. Service is always good as well. There are a few girls that worked here today, always smiling, great attitudes, just a really good vibe.

Parking lot is small with the post office and a handful of other businesses all sharing the same few spaces. So be prepared to circle the lot or park on the street and walk when you visit. I ordered a 9 inch ham with provolone, had lettuce, tomato, sprouts, mustard and mayo on the fresh baguette. Solid sandwich it had enough meat and cheese to satisfy me which was a little surprising. The baguette was light and tasty, the veggies were fresh and crisp. Overall the sandwich was a solid 9 out of 10, and I am something of a sandwich snob. Tables and chairs outside in the area between the buildings were convenient seating to eat our sandwiches. I'm very impressed and will definitely return the next time I am in the area and looking for a sandwich.
