    squidward
    Krystle D.

    Wonderful place! Owner is super nice, and it's connected to a bookstore! Even though they close at 3, the bookstore is open til 6 so you can still hang out. Like I said calm ambience and super nice people! Oh and the food is delicious too! (I did not get the Starbucks coffee from here but the food I did, I don't think they make specialty coffees here so I brought my own) And they have a Squidward tapestry, 10/10

    Chicken Salad Sandwich and Signature Salad

    Prompt greeting at the door. Perfect temperature. Good bookstore music. Perfect lighting. Good menu options. I have no regrets visiting. I'll definitely be back. In just the 30 mins I had til closing, my chicken salad sandwich was made fresh and tasted so good. I was actually embarrassed when I bit into it because I was caught off guard with the warm bread and cool salad. I had to take a look at it as if I didn't know what was going on lol. It was the temperature difference that I never knew could exist on one sandwich so well. There's window booths to sit at or tables, who doesn't love the option of a view. I came for the biscuits (hence my books and biscuits rave) but they'd sold the last one right before I came in. Good reason to come back, even if it's just to encounter the lovely chef and waitress. They were so friendly and seemed like they enjoyed serving up a good sandwich! I imagine they get a few regulars in there, considering the farewell by name I heard. LOVE THAT. So cheery. Prince Books, connected to the cafe is so cute. It's small and have a nostalgic feel with the wood and carpet picks on decor. Although the size makes for a casual amount of books, the category of books are satisfying enough. I want to say that I found a little gem, but I have a feeling it's a big piece of waterside.

    What a wonderful experience at this adorable cafe! They were very busy but the employees worked super hard to make sure everyone got their food quickly! You can even order on an app through their QR code to save time ordering. We will definitely come back again!

    Lots of choices!

    Very cute/quaint cafe. It's sharing space with Prince bookstore on Main Street in Norfolk. Forget Starbucks at a Barnes and Noble - this is the real deal! This cafe has salads, sandwiches, soups and wraps. The chef is really nice. I ordered biscuit with ham and ham as I already had lunch but gotta try something! I was told the biscuit is a good size. I had mine to go so let me rush home to take a picture and enjoy.

Lovely people watching, yet it's not so loud that table conversation of challenging. You'll notice that this is quick-ish dining. It's not fast-casual, but you're not waiting 30 minutes for your food. Expect at least 10 minutes for appetizers to arrive. Our entrees were ready in about 20, and the place was near capacity. The great thing about the wait? It was well worth it. Piping hot food, served with that homemade flavor arrives on dishes that almost match. I chuckled at the mismatched bowls that hit our table. I felt like family before my first bite. Meatloaf! I can't make one, but I'll eat one that is well made. Dense, flavorful and portioned to take some with you. My bonus was that I got my wife's leftovers, too. It was delicious! It was even better when I warmed it for lunch the next day. Traditional sides, worthy of their own review, but I'll keep it brief. Get the mashed potatoes! Send a thanks when you're full.

    Celiac review!…read more PARKING AND ACCESSIBILITY Parking is easy in a private (shared) lot. It is accessible but no automated doors. The bathroom, technically accessible (single room bathrooms), isn't great depending on the disability. One grab bar on the wall next to the sink, the toilet is high up and so is the sink. No surfaces to put items on, no hooks. SERVICE AND VIBES Every staff member here was friendly and accommodating. The music isn't too loud. Our server Athena was really sweet and gave us recommendations for activities around town. THE GLUTEN FREE EXPERIENCE I had to ask for a gluten free menu, which was separate. So many options! And the menu lists the ingredients of all their gluten-free bread substitutes. They're using Udi's for sandwich and burger buns and schar for English muffins, pizza crust, and pasta. When they take your order, make sure you explicitly tell them you're ordering from the gluten free menu, as several items are identical to the regular menu. If you have an allergy or celiac disease, ask them to note that. They have a button on their handheld device for celiac disease (and other allergies). When they set down my sandwich they said "this is the gluten free sandwich". Mine came with a sealed bag of cape cod chips (as opposed to the house made potato chips). The bread is how udi's is. It fell apart pretty fast. It was good and they didn't under fill the sandwich. The server knew what celiac was.

    Updated Review:…read more R.A.S is located inside of the handsome biscuit. There isn't really any seating inside so you have to order to go or sit down outside. The sandwich is just as the store name suggests basic, if you like a classic simple sandwich then this is your spot. I would have like to have seen a slightly higher quality meat for a sandwich shop. The meat on the sandwiches seems like regular prepackaged deli meat, given the price point there's nothing wrong with that. Most if not all of the sandwiches start at 8$ so everything is decently priced. If you want a sandwich but you don't want a jimmy John's or subway sub this is a nice alternative for a little midday lunch. Original Review: The yelp page says permanently closed however it is not, the sandwich just moved locations. It is now located inside of the handsome biscuit restaurant. I was excited to try this restaurant. I have attempted to try it a few times however they're "closed" each time despite the neon open sign being lit. The business should clarify if they are only open until they sell out or they may need to adjust the hours of operation that they have posted across various platforms as it causes confusion.

The sandwich was delicious with an adequate amount of meat and fresh toppings. The aioli was chef's kiss. My only gripe is the lack of cheese selection. The service was fast and efficient. I'll definitely be back to try more sandos. Pro tip: They have limited hours. Ps. Sorry for the bitten sando pic. My definitely did not eat first! lol!
