Really enjoyed this little hole-in-the-wall gem! Many vegetarian options, no fuss. Fantastic food and great teas!

We stopped by Orange Glory before touring Sibley Music Library, as it seemed like a wonderful spot for a healthy, tasty lunch. They absolutely didn't disappoint! We were a large group (12), and the staff were wonderfully patient and flexible as we poached chairs to sit together in their dining room. The portions were substantial, especially for the price, and I was very happy with the eggplant and chickpea burger. Friends also enjoyed some of the daily specials, and the cookies were lovely! At the recommendation of other reviews I chose the potato salad and lemon cookie to complete my "boxed lunch" meal, and both were delicious. The potato salad was a unique take on a classic, done with roasted potatoes, light but hearty. I'll definitely be back next time I'm looking for lunch near Eastman School of Music! read more

Orange Glory Cafe and Catering - Muffaletta special, really flavorful - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rochester, New York

Fabulous place for lunch downtown and quick service. Definitely try to come by 12pm to beat the lunch crowd. Boxed lunches are great to order in or take out. Comes with a side and cookie for an extra $3. The sides of sesame noodles or potato salad are great. The cookies are to die for! Lentil burger and chickpea and eggplant burger are my faves. read more

An absolute Best of Rochester gem! If you haven't eaten here PLEASE DO! Formerly next to the Little Theater, they relocated here in 2018. The quality far exceeds anything you'd find in any other local lunch spot! The food is amazing! The cookies are delectable! read more

We have been to Orange Glory many times for lunch and always enjoyed the food. When it came time to choose a caterer for my sister's baby shower lunch they came to mind as a potential winner. We investigated several options and found Jackie so easy to work with. She really understood the garden party vibe we were going for and came up with an awesome menu. We had 5 types of tea sandwiches, fennel & celeriac slaw, roasted potato salad, fruit, and a selection of their homemade scones & accoutrements which were *to die for.* They plated everything beautifully and delivered it all on time to the shower location. Our guests raved about the food and we were so pleased with how everything turned out. We would definitely use them again! (Both for a great lunch downtown and for catering!) read more

Finally I ate something here other than their superb cookies. We were downtown and in the area during lunch (that is the only time they are open) so we stopped in. There are only 5 or 6 small tables but we were able to get a place to eat. It wasn't too crowded - the cold weather probably stopped people from leaving their offices for lunch. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with cranberries on a raisin bread - it was very good. My wife got the chickpea sandwich - she liked it a lot. $8 per sandwich seemed like a fair price. Of course we had to get a cookie for dessert - the chocolate macadamia nut cookie was excellent. read more

Orange Glory is my absolute favorite sandwich shop in town. It's so good that I think it might be a top 5 restaurant in Rochester overall. It's the perfect lunch spot, with a variety of delicious sandwich offerings. An added bonus is that they have numerous vegetarian options (ie. lentil, mushroom artichoke, black bean, eggplant chickpea) that are all mouth-watering good. As an ardent carnivore, I must admit that I don't miss meat at all when it comes to Orange Glory's sandwiches. The veggie burgers are packed with flavor. Not only are they delicious, but the portions are generous. The Lentil Burger by itself is quite filling, but add a cookie & a side for an extra $2 ($10 total) and you have yourself a substantial lunch. read more

Orange Glory never disappoints! New takes on old favorites, sweet dining space, extraordinary value.

You have not eaten here and live in Monroe County? You are a fool. This is how a successful restaurant starts. The New England clam chowder is better than anything I've had before. Go. Stop being a fool. read more

Orange Glory has a small, but interesting menu. They have vegan and vegetarian options. Their lentil burger is excellent. They also have several options for dessert such as cookies, scones and such. There are usually a few tables outside to eat when the weather is nice. We've been here several times and have used them for a lunch catering event. They're excellent to work with and their prices are pretty good, considering their food is very fresh. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the staff are not very friendly. I don't usually mind this as long as the food is good but when you take the time to ask questions about their menu, they seem as if you're inconveniencing them. Regardless, I would definitely recommend stopping in for lunch! read more

I was so happy to see that Orange Glory was open today! This place is truly one of the best restaurants in the East End neighborhood. It's a small space. The bright, orange interior and the colorful decor keep it from feeling cramped. There are 5 - 6 tables and a couple of mini banquettes available for seating. A small area is roped off during the warmer months where you can dine Al Fresco if you so choose. The food here is excellent. They have a variety of sandwiches available that are made with locally sourced, organic ingredients for all tastes vegan and carnivorous. A number of sides are available which rotate daily. Homemade cookies are made fresh daily. Today I had the Chicken Cutlet Club made with a hefty piece that didn't feel like a cutlet - AT ALL. It was fried in a light egg batter and included bacon, roaster red peps, arugala, and a smoky, sriracha aioli topped by a brioche bun - warmed by a panini press. This dish was truly satisfying and oh so good! I opted for the lunch box which includes a side and a cookie. I chose the Sesame Noodles made with sweet bell peppers, celery, shaved carrots and ground white pepper. It's dryer than what you normally get from traditional fast food Asian establishments - and that's for the better! A nice complement to the sandwich. A Cranberry Oatmeal cookie rounded out my amazing meal. Drinks include Nantucket Nectars, Honest Teas, Coke products in cans and water. The staff here is great. They'll explain every sandwich in detail, even when it's busy which is almost all the the time. They look like they really love what they do and it shows! You can't go wrong with this place! They're consistently great at any time of the year and it is, without question, one of the best restaurants in Rochester. read more

Orange Glory is a spectacular hidden gem, in Rochester! The charismatic owner developed a menu for an event for 52 people. The food was just spectacular; everyone raved about the bursts of flavor, the freshness of the foods, the soft breads and exquisite dishes prepared with elegance in their display: try the amazing variety of tea-sandwiches, and creative sides, roasted potatoes with a scrumptious zippy twist, fresh fruit salads with crisp grapes, blueberries, strawberries that crunch & burst with sweetness on every bite, and the SCONES, with mouth watering sweetness and toppings that are absolutely heavenly! Remember the scones!!! If that's not enough, the owner is attentive to every detail in your order, including confirmation of date and delivery time, and she follows up, in a timely, efficient and reassuring manner, to insure your event is absolutely perfect! Orange Glory is a hidden gem and a keeper for entertaining out of town guests, catering a glorious party, or just rewarding your loved ones with a luscious food preparation that feels like a home baked meal! Try the cookies baked from scratch, that melt in your mouth with freshness. Orange Glory's menu speaks to the commitment by the owner to use natural ingredients and fresh preparations in a commitment to delivering spectacular food to the greater region of Rochester's customers! read more

Finally popped into Orange Glory for the first time last week and WOW. I do not know why I have not made my way there sooner. The small shop feels cozy and the staff adds to the laid back ambiance. An eclectic variety of diners were there for lunch, from students to coworkers to "the ladies who lunch." Orange Glory can really fit into any dynamic. The food was, for the most part, crazy good. I went for the chicken salad sandwich with potato salad and a chocolate chip cookie. The bread on my sammy was absurdly good and the chicken salad is infused with cranberries. The sandwiches are huge and I had an impossible time trying to decide what to get. Next time I will try one of the awesome looking veg based burgers. My friend get the zucchini based burger (incredible) and some soup on the side. The soup is the main reason I can't give this spot 5 stars. It was an artichoke mushroom soup that was essentially flavorless and lacking substance. Maybe some of the other soups are good, but I would recommend sticking only to the sandwiches & sides since they are all not to be missed. read more

A lovely open space with creative and elegant artwork everywhere. The staff was just setting up when i arrived for an early lunch. The toasting of the raisin bread was so intoxicating that I had to have what it was - chicken salad with field greens on toasted raisin bread. I "made it a box lunch" for two bucks extra and got more greens, and a cookie to go. All were very delicious and the attractive and helpful staff made me feel welcome. A definite go if you are in downtown rochester. read more

Delish, indecently-owned, charming place. Everything is homemade with great quality of ingredients, and the service is tip-top. Would definitely come again... this place is highly recommended! read more

If you're looking for homemade quality and taste with the freshest ingredients, or just for a guaranteed healthy lunch, this place hits the spot! I wish they were open on weekends since my lunch breaks aren't long enough to take advantage of their hours. But if you can squeeze it in, it's worth it. There's some confusion for first-timers. You may need to orient yourself with what is what on the menu. However, the girls that run the joint are more than ready to give you the 411 on all the menu items! I had he eggplant chickpea "burger" which was served on a hearty wheat bread with mozzarella, red peppers and possibly a red peppers sauce? It's "meaty" and decadent and dripping with flavor. My mom tried their spinach burger which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was on a nice multigrain roll situation with feta and asiago, red pepper and banana pepper. If you're feeling like indulging just a little, the cookies are also amazing. We tried the lemon and the macadamia nut chocolate chip. Both delicious, gooey, homemade quality cookies! read more

The perfect hearty, healthy lunch to-go has to go to Orange Glory. It's a tiny spot on East Ave by Little Theatre where you can easily stop in for lunch. The space is small with a few tables for seating and during the summer there are a few sidewalk tables they'll put outside. I often arrive early between 11-11:30am right when they open to place my order to avoid the lunch rush. I'm impatient when I'm hungry. Their menu rotates, but they typically have their tried and true Orange Glory classics like chicken salad, their lentil burger (my all time favorite - with spicy mayo!), or their black bean and/or quinoa burger, and one with a spinach/feta combo. Lots of options for vegetarians here! Most of them come on sandwich bread and are warmed up on the panini grill. I go for the lunch box combo deal because it comes with a side and a cookie ($10). The lemon cookie is my all time jam! Literally my favorite cookie in the whole world. It's soft and light and lemon-y. The PB&J cookie is also stellar. read more

I've been meaning to hit up this cafe for ages now, and finally got the chance to last week. It's a little hard to make time for Orange Glory, because they are only open weekdays for lunch hours. I ordered the chickpea eggplant sandwich (with admittedly some hesitation, because I usually don't go out of my way to order either eggplants or chickpeas). I was hooked after the first bite! The sandwich was bursting with flavor! It was perfection through and through. It seems that they have a lot of regulars. I think I'll soon be on that list too, as I can't wait to return here to try some of their other options! read more

Orange Glory Cafe and Catering - Eggplant chickpea sandwich. Five stars! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rochester, New York

I'm very proud to say I found the Orange Glory Café and all of it's, uhmm... glory, completely by myself (which is code for using my handy-dandy Yelp app). Let me try now and convince you why you should go find the Orange Glory Café completely by yourself too. Be you a vegetarian, vegan, foodie, local business supporter or any other hot button topic support you may be, you'll find this café fast, friendly, delicious and inexpensive. I've been here twice now, and I've had the Eggplant and Chickpea Burger (huge, flavorful and makes a good case for why we should add a fourth meal to our days so we can eat more of them), and the Italian Meatball Sandwich (not 100% if was a real ball of meat, but it sure tasted like one and it was awesome). I recommend both, and for you to make it a "Lunch Box" by adding a side and a fresh, homemade cookie for $2 more. The sesame noodles are a terrific choice. As far as those cookies are concerned, I tried the chocolate chip macadamia nut (sheer perfection), and most recently I tried the chocolate chip coconut macaroon. The macaroon was sweet and crispy on the outside, buttery and filling on the inside and tasted like my mouth was making love to the Red M&M's hot sister on a tropical beach. I spent the balance of the day grief-stricken, wondering why it was I cheated on my wife with a cookie. read more

Orange Glory's siren song all-too often beckons me to its doors, emptying my pockets of lunch money and sending me off into a passionate, semi-quiet rage for all those ahead in line who dare to plunder the last of the lemon cookies. The surly mermaids behind the glass case of beautiful and creative sandwiches, including my favorite Cauliflower burger or the Chickpea and Eggplant burger are at times tough to accept in the otherwise cheery and "glory"ous interior. But you'll be taken care of. The small inside is seriously the bright spot on the grayest of days. Its orange color and walls decorated with local artwork and roosters and the narrow line of bistro tables is a fun immersion, while you sip the water they bring you and wait for your food. I love the vegan and vegetarian options because their sandwiches and salads are so substantial in size as well as taste. The Cauliflower burger in particular is served on a seeded toast with a red pepper remoulade and field greens. It probably stands about four inches in height. Your stomach will hurt so good when you're finished. Lunchbox your sandwich or salad for $2 and you'll get your choice of a side and cookie. The side vegan Mac and Cheese is made with bowtie noodles and flecked with red pepper flakes. It eats just as comforting and maybe even heartier than the actual dairy version. The side of potato salad is like a bite of the best home fries you ever had, cold and mixed with light dressing and celery. I won't go into details of the lemon cookie, because in my mind they're all mine and you can't have them. The triple chocolate cookie is excellent, get one of those. read more

What happens when you take advice from a bunch of Yelpers? You end up at Orange Glory two days in a row since you discovered it's deliciousness. I found out about this place on Tuesday night, then popped in on Wednesday for lunch. Figured I'd get a chicken salad + cranberry sandwich to go. Sandwiched between cinnamon raisin bread, every bite brings happiness to your mouth. I brought it back to work, along with a couple cookies, and holy smokes--this food is good! They have a lot of interesting combinations that are vegetarian friendly, including the chickpea and eggplant sandwich (I got one to go and ate it for dinner). I'm a fan of you, Orange Glory. The tuna mac salad was so yummy! It looked like it could be hit or miss in the case, but it's so good! Not super heavy on the mayo, but also not dry. Now let's move to the cookies--I got a chocolate chip, and it was decent. Nothing to write home about. But then I tried the peanut butter and jelly...damn. Damn damn damn. Why am I leaving Rochester again? Oh yeah, I don't live here. Then I tried the chocolate chip macadamia nut...I don't even really like macadamia nuts, but let me tell you, I DEMOLISHED that cookie! I can't say enough great things about this cafe. I will be back the next time I'm in town! read more

Run, don't walk. You NEED to eat lunch here. Like today. Not soon. Now. It's that good. I've eaten LITERALLY everything on the menu, and it's ALL good. Fortunately the menu changes every few days so there's always something new to come back for. Sometimes an amazing sandwich like the Steak Burrito or Crab Cake sandwich will only show up for a couple of days so go often. If you catch it, try the croquet monsieur another favorite. Or the juiciest poultry burger I've ever had. Get the meal deal. A couple extra dollars gets you a side of the best Potato Salad in Rochester, and a freshly baked cookie. Sandwiches are fast food prices, with slow food taste. You cannot go wrong here. The two beautiful redheaded ladies who run the place are very friendly and happy to talk to you about what's in their food as well if you have a particular diet or allergy, and there are plenty of vegetarian options available. Go early, sometimes they run out of the best stuff. read more

Orange Glory Cafe and Catering - Spinach burger, and AMAZING potato salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rochester, New York

I've had this restaurant bookmarked for a long time. Finally made it in for a lunch meeting! We arrived before the lunch rush and snagged a two-person table. The location was a little awkward, being right next to the register and kitchen entrance, but the whole place is small and I was glad to be sitting. I ordered the chickpea and eggplant sandwich from a long list of veggie-friendly options. The eggplant was well-cooked (soft, but meaty) and came on a hearty sesame bread. I sampled their chocolate chip cookie - wow! It reminds me of the Wegmans ultimate chocolate chip cookie. However, I used my self control and didn't order one. The busyness, small size, and few staff members make this place a little chaotic and slow. We waited a while to get foil and bags for our leftovers and then to pay. I felt like I was inconveniencing the waitresses because they had other work to do! Would gladly return and bring my veggie-loving friends. read more

A true tasty gem in the heart of the East End. I've long been a fan of Jackie Power's culinary prowess... and have enjoyed Orange Glory's creations here & at the Jazz Fest, where her creations can be found under the tent adjacent to Abilene. Awesome dishes like the Spinach Burger, with a special honey mustard sauce that tasted like Nance's Sharp & Creamy mustard taken to a higher level. Well worth a trip downtown for a bite... there's also a new location @ 45 Exchange Blvd (Times Square). read more

Note that the location has changed to 480 E Main, but all the reviews still hold. I never actually made it to the old location, though---I always meant to, but the hours are really bizarre. Anyways, really exceptional sandwich flavor---I had a curry cauliflower wrap, and every bite was as delicious as I've experienced from a sandwich. Main complaint is that, although it went through a panini press, it ended up heated unevenly: there was some quinoa in the interior of the wrap and that ended up cold compared to the cauliflower or the bread itself. read more

Downtown Rochester proper is full of many hidden gem restaurants. Often these places are there if you need them, but if you pass by just after closing, then you get to wait until your next opportunity to visit. When you're like me and you don't work downtown (or in East End, as this case may be), your chances to try these places out are few and far between.. Orange Glory Cafe is one of those places for me. Since it's right next to the Little Theatre, I've passed by too many times to count. It always looked so inviting from the outside. So on a weekday where I found myself available for lunch, I immediately remembered that Orange Glory would actually be open at a time when I could go. It turned out to be the best decision I could make because now I knew what I was missing. This is the type of place that you wouldn't guess had table service since you order at the counter, but the outdoor seating and peoplewatching opportunities were fantastic little surprises that I don't know if I would have been able to take advantage of had I not been waiting for someone to bring me my lunch. I had the perfectly spicy lentil burger for lunch and took advantage of the $2 lunchbox option for a side and cookie. Talk about glory, this cafe knows what's up with my preferences. It was as if the cafe menu had been designed just for me because there was nothing I could have been disappointed with. Why hadn't I tried this earlier? Oh, right, no work proximity and bad hours for me. This review would absolutely be five stars if the cafe was open into early evening or at least for lunch on the weekends. At least I can now convince my office to take advantage of Orange Glory's catering services. Next best thing, right? read more

I got a little lost finding it- there's a orange stand up sign right outside- it's right next to the little theater! The lunch special is a sandwich, side of greens or sesame noodles and a cookie! I had to come check this place out with it blowing up my feed, I figured I'd see what all the raving was about. My fellow Yelpers were right- This place did not disappoint! I ordered the artichoke and mushroom burger which came with lettuce and some sort of orange spread all between 2 thin slices of French bread. --I am a huge artichoke fan so a burger that is basically all artichoke is my jam! I'm pretty sure it was just nuked in the microwave for a minute or so. I would've loved for it to be pressed on a grill to give it that nice outer grilled coating. I noticed that the outside was a bit tough where as the inside was softer. I'm not sure if the whole sandwich gets put in the microwave or just the burger because the greens on my burger were all wilted- I would have preferred the greens added on after hearing to avoid soggy greens. The taste over all of the sandwich was pretty great- I'd get it again! For my side I chose sesame noodles- loved these! I am a big Asian cuisine person and sesame flavor is one of my favs! The noodles were not dry or over cooked and had plenty of flavor! Cookie: tonssss of chocolate chips in it which is the way to go I think! I'm talkin 70% chips, 30% dough- that's my kind of chocolate chip cookie! Overall: I'd definitely come back! I want to try more of the burgers they have like quinoa and others. I do give it minus a star because of the inconsistency of heat in the burger giving it an outer tough edge and soft middle with soggy greens (I'm a picky eater when it comes to soggy leaves on my sandwiches!). It was filling without the guilt and a great little cafe to come to! You'll be seeing more checkins from me soon! I wish it was open for more than just lunch- I would so come here for dinner too! read more

Absolutely love this small, so worth the trip luncheon spot. Staff are friendly and delightfully quirky. Menu contains all my favorites. If you are vegan, this is heaven on earth. Chicken salad is fresh, chunky and lightly seasoned. Thai noodles are the bomb.

Went to lunch at Orange Glory on Wednesday November 17, 2021, with two friends. Welcoming atmosphere. Our first person we spoke to was extremely informative and very nice. We placed our orders. Had delicious lunch. We were not rushed out. We leisurely ate our lunches and chatted. Definitely recommend Orange Glory! Food and staff are excellent!! read more

My roommate has been telling me to go to this place because I am a freak for anything eggplant. She recommended the eggplant chickpea sandwich. It is a small place with about 5 tables. I got the eggplant chickpea sandwich with a side salad and lemon white chocolate cookie (all for $10). I got it to-go and it took like 5 mins, very quick and I went around 12:15pm. I was expecting a thin, panini like sandwich. BOY THIS WAS A BIG SANDWICH! So flavorful and I am pretty sure the cheese on it was vegan. And for the cookie, I love any lemon dessert and this one was great! The lemon and white chocolate compliment each other perfectly with neither flavor being too much. read more

We've been here a few times now and immensely enjoy each visit to Orange Glory Cafe. On our first time here, our order included a black bean burger and a lamb burger. Following that initial visit, we've had the chickpea / eggplant and the turkey sandwiches too. Each were incredibly good and even better than we could have expected. It is worth the upgrade to include a side along with a cookie. We typically order greens for the side which are served with a vinegarette dressing. Their cookies are some of the best that I've had in Rochester and they do offer samples if you're there. My favorite of their cookies are the peanut butter and the snickerdoodle. As far as cuisine goes, Orange Glory has the sandwich market cornered in the area and that says a lot considering the sheer number of cafes in the neighborhood. However, This could be slightly biased because I'm impressed with the number of vegetarian options that they offer. The waitresses were both really kind and attentive when dining in the cafe. The eatery, itself, is very small so I prefer takeout as opposed to dining in. If in the area, it's a nice restaurant to try out. read more

I'm really torn about Orange Glory. The food is amazing. The service and response is questionable, unfortunately. So, I'm at about a 3.5 star right now... with potential to be 5 star. Catering-wise: I've emailed and called a few times to inquire about catering and never heard back. I still love the food and wouldn't want to write the place off completely, so a couple coworkers and I went to get take-out for lunch. It wasn't until we got back to our office that two of us realized our boxed lunches were completely wrong. I ordered a lentil burger, oatmeal cookie, and salad and was handed a mushroom burger and a lemon cookie. Still paid $10 without getting the complete "boxed lunch" deal. Again, the food is amazing regardless so it's not the end of the world... just super bummed. (I was really looking forward to that oatmeal cookie!) Coworker got the wrong burger, wrong drink, and no cookie. Suggestion: take customer's names down and write them on the to-go bags so you're not handing people the wrong lunch. Sigh, I hate writing a slightly negative review but just feeling super bummed at the lack of responsiveness about catering and now a messed up take-out order. The food is amazing so if you have the time to dine-in, I'd highly recommend going that route. read more

DELICIOUS. Effing. Delicious. I came here for the first time last Wednesday. I subsequently went Thursday and Friday as well. Sandwich is my preferred food medium and Orange Glory is all about incredibly delectable, creative sandwiches. The sandwiches I've enjoyed: -chickpea and eggplant burger -spinach burger SO. GOOD. Don't get me started on the cookies- okay, fine... let's get started on the cookies. INCREDIBLE. The lemon and white chocolate- hot diggity! The peanut butter and jelly- dang, dang, DANG! The sandwiches run $7-9 and you can make it a meal with a side and a cookie for $2 extra. Here are my tips for you: -Only open M-F 11am-3pm (so unfair) -Check their facebook for their daily menu -Order early- they run out of favorites -Go often :) I love this place! read more

Orange Glory was a very welcome respite from the angry weather swirling around Rochester earlier this week. Barely 50 degrees and raining, the environment was prime to sidle up to a one of OG's handful of tables for a toasty and filling lunch. And that's just what Breanna B & I had! The chalkboard hosted a variety of tasty looking sandwiches and burgers, but at the end of the day I went with the tuna melt lunch box - which included a side and a cookie for just $9. The melt was a great size - nice and hearty, filled with not-too-mayonnaise-y tuna salad and cheese. But honestly, the size of pesto tortellini was the star of my personal lunch show. Tender tortellini stuffed with cheese and topped with flavorful pesto. I could have made a lunch of that side alone! As mentioned, choosing the "lunch box" option is likely the way to go...you'll very much enjoy your monstrous cookie. I can highly recommend the chocolate chip macadamia nut. Yum, indeed. Adorable interior with handful of tables, super affordable with big sammies, sunny staff, lunch special for. $9 includes side and cookie. Choc macadamia nut cookie awesome, tortellini, tuna melt read more

They have the best potato salad I've ever eaten and some of the best cookies, too. (And I've eaten a lot of cookies, so I know what I'm talking about, let me tell you.) The sandwiches aren't half-bad either! Really, this is a wonderful place: the sandwiches are inventive and delicious and everything tastes home-made in the best sense. I'm vegetarian and there are always several options (though I tend to fall into a rut and order the mushroom artichoke every time). If you haven't tried Orange Glory you really owe it to yourself to give it a try. read more

I found a new lunch place in Rochester! This place is absolutely adorable. There are only a few tables so don't plan on dining in unless you arrive early. They are very good at packaging your lunch to go so don't hesitate to do that. I went with the spinach burger. This is not so much a burger as a bunch of spinach and cheese mushed together into deliciousness. Served on perfectly grilled bread with some sort of horseradish spread. I inhaled the sandwich. Of course I had to get a cookie because other reviews raved about them. They had snickerdoodles available, one of my favorite kinds. This was pure heaven!! Slight crisp on the outside but the inside melted in my mouth. Totally worth the calories. read more
