Had an AWESOME soup and sandwich at Sabrina's Lunch in a Box-- can't wait to go back! Everything on the menu at this little cafe-style deli looked great, but so did the sandwich special advertised on the board outside so I decided to go with that. It was a Paradise Ham Sandwich, with bacon, ham, lettuce, tomato, cheese, honey mustard, and mayo on Hawaiian sweet bread. Delicious! Perhaps even better, though, was the soup of the day: a rich and creamy Tomato Basil that might just qualify as the best I've ever had. The service here was excellent, with Sabrina herself greeting customers, bussing tables, working the register, helping in the kitchen, etc. There are cookies, pie, and other baked goods available here as well-- may have to try some on my next visit. BONUS: customers who check in with their Yelp app can claim a $2 off coupon! read more

Let me start off by saying I'd give the food 4 stars but the service was TERRIBLE. The two girls who were working at the time were clearly annoyed that they had customers to serve and we were such an inconvenience to them. They were both on their phone and computer half of the time or in the back chatting. When it came time to take our order I had asked what their bread options were and the girl with red dyed hair said "they are on the menu. I don't want to read them out to you." I was blown away with how rude they were. I won't be returning and I will definitely not recommend them to anyone. Owners: please hire people who want to work, deserve to be paid and strive to make your business as good as it could be. read more

I wasn't that impressed. Pasta salad was bland regular sandwiches were high priced and nothing special 3 stars for good service and nice atmosphere. read more

The first time I ate at the Sumner Cafe I couldn't believe the top-notch quality of the food. The sandwiches are very good and the soups are spectacular! His vegetable beef, split pea with ham, and tomato soups are the best I have tasted in a restaurant. The soups are made from scratch. This is a gluten-free friendly place. My gluten-free friend loved it! The bread in her sandwich was the best she had tasted. I have been back several times and the quality is consistent. I highly recommend Sumner Cafe. It is off Main St by about a block. read more

This was my first time to Sumner Cafe and at first I was taken back by the entrance to the restaurant as it was through another building. It was confusing at first but when I walked in I was greeted by a nice woman with a smile and a friendly demeanor. I sat down and glanced over the menu then decided to do the Thursday lunch special which was the Grilled Ham and Cheese with a cup of Tomato Soup and I ordered a side of potato salad. The food came up pretty quick from when I ordered, about 8 minutes. All of the food was hot as it should be other than the potato salad of course. My only concern was the sandwich seemed a bit on the small side but it was only $7.99 for the sandwich and soup so I wasn't angry at the portion size, if I had paid $8-$10 for just the sandwich and it was that size then I would've been angry. The Tomato soup was creamy with diced tomatoes that were not too soft and not too firm. The potato salad could use a little work as the potatoes were just slightly over cooked making them very soft and it had just a little bit too much mustard but otherwise very tasty. My first visit was an overall success and I will definitely be back to try some other menu items. read more

Had the breakfast burrito and it was fantastic. The fresh salsa was amazing and the staff was great. Sandwiches look great. Will be trying those next week. read more

My daughter and I absolutely love this deli!!! We go in there and we are always greeted with huge smiles, and usually hugs too!!! If you want a warm and welcoming environment, this is the place for you!! Oh, and the food is DELICIOUS too!! She makes the greatest clam chowder on Fridays, and it is homemade!!! (She beats moms...SHHH, don't tell. :)) She always has customers and has many regulars too. That should say a lot right there... I am not sure what these negative comments are about?? They need to give her another shot. Thank you Sabrina for giving us a GREAT place to go for lunch!! (And breakfast if we are up that early... LOL) read more

Used Amazon Local coupon ($20 for $42) to get Philly Cheese Steak, Turkey, Roast Beef, and Veggie Lover sandwiches (family of boys). I had the Philly, it was a very unique (meant in best way) sandwich... thick cut steak, red bell peppers, grilled onions, and cream cheese. Best one I've had--pending an actual visit to Philly of course. All in all... thumbs up from me and the boys. read more

The business I work for hired Daniel and his crew at Sumner Cafe and Catering to supply box lunches for our team on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The service and quality of the lunches were superb. When asking our team where they would like us to get lunch for them on New Years Day the overwhelming choice was Sumner Cafe. Once again they supplied a great meal along with some great muffins that we ordered. This is definitely a place to keep in mind for some great food and great service. and a great way to support a local business. Thanks Daniel. read more

The servers are AMAZING and very beautiful & the boss is gr8! 100% recommended for either breakfast or lunch !!

Stopped in for a quick lunch after doing some shopping around town. I had the club on a croissant and a side of vegetable beef soup! Both were fresh and delicious, looking forward to coming back here and trying some more items! read more

Great small and quaint cafe for sandwiches. Saw this while walking down the street and pleasantly surprised they had gluten free options (for every sandwich on the menu). Friendly staff and fast service. Only complaint would be the amount of food for the price, but maybe how great it tastes makes up for it. read more

Really enjoyed my lunch. Charming place with a great menu and very affiliated in price. Higher recommend!

Was across the street and saw this deli for the first time. I love sandwich shops and decided to order a tuna fish sandwich with clam chowder to go. The service was timely and polite. I'm excited to go back and try new things. read more

This is a great little spot to have lunch. The menu is simple but classic and the food is always prepared well. Service is excellent and the prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend stopping by for lunch if you haven't already. read more

I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich on wheat bread and chose the potato salad for the side that was included in the price of the sandwich. Service was very friendly, and the food was ready in a few minutes. I was surprised at how small the sandwich was, the bread wasn't anything special, just basic bread you find at the grocery store. But, it tasted fine. To say the potato salad was average would be a stretch. It was rather bland and the potatoes had some diced pieces, but mostly consisted of crumbled mush that still managed to taste somewhat dry. I would definitely try this place out again, I would just order differently next time. read more

I hate giving small business owner's a bad review so that's why I am giving this place a 2 star and not a 1 star. My experience from my one and only visit was a 1 star. I was so excited to try this little place out. I had been promising my 4 year old son a special lunch date and thought this place would be perfect. I browsed their menu online when purchasing my $10 for $20 Groupon, and knew exactly what we would be ordering. We came for Lunch (ha.. lunch in a box!) and arrived at 12:30. We were greeted right away as it was pretty empty in there. I was really looking forward to having the salad bar with my sandwich, but the salad bar had fresh ice in it but it was salad-less. I ordered the veggie sandwich and I was told they were out of avocado (dear god why!) and she asked if I wanted anything else to make up for it. I ordered extra Swiss cheese in place of the missing avocado.... seriously nothing can take the place of avocado but okay no bigs. So I get my sandwich and a side of deli delish broccoli cheddar soup. The soup was amazing. It was creamy and tasty and the only thing I enjoyed. I was very disappointed in my sandwich. The sourdough was soft and fresh but there was very little on the sandwich- 1 small sliver of onion on each half, a small un-ripe tomato slice on each half, a lot of lettuce. Last but not least, a massive larger than life hunk of cucumber to make up for the missing avocado and extra cheese that I requested but didn't make it onto the sandwich. I didn't even eat the 2 inch thick cucumbers they were so big and honestly unappetizing. The sandwich should have been called a cucumber sandwich. My son ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, and again nothing exciting about it. For dessert I ordered the Jelly bar which the gal (possibly Sabrina) said they were her personal favorite. I had to remind them that I ordered it when we finished eating, and the very young server went to go and get it and brought it to me frozen. I overheard the other lady that worked there (again maybe Sabrina) tell her to go and get one from the bottom of a freezer and warm it up for 1 minute. I'm guessing that was her best attempt at getting us a fresh one, but the young server brought it to us frozen anyways. We didn't even bother saying anything and left without eating it. I wouldn't have ordered it if I didn't think it was fresh, and I certainly didn't want a frozen one to go. I would normally say something about the food and or service while at the restaurant but I had the feeling that there was just no point, and it would really go on deaf ears. The young girl serving us had no hospitality experience and was clearly just a helper. That is what it is. You're only as good as the people that work for you. I was so glad that I only spent 10.00 on the Groupon and nothing more. The place has a very bad and confused energy... or maybe that's the vibe we were getting from the young server gal. Maybe my bad experience was 100% from the server, and I will never know because there was nothing there to make me want to come back. For 10 bucks I can just go to Subway or Panera. read more

Stopped in this morning before heading to work. Sabrina welcomed me with a smile on her face as if I had been a regular. I ordered a boxed lunch to go of the Gobbler, a turkey sandwich with Cream Cheese and Cranberry sauce. The Honey Oat bread was soft and sweet. Plenty of cream cheese and the cranberry sauce was whole berry not canned spread! Turkey was put on thick and tasted very fresh. I did not take advantage of any of the specials and paid regular price and am happy to do so. Don't know how often I can make it back, but would recomend Sabrina's to anybody. read more

Adorable, clean, friendly and very tasty! I love this place. Homemade and really homemade!

Finally made it to this little sandwich shop down in Sumner. The menu is mainly sandwiches (hot and cold) with nice choices. The prices a little more than expected in a casual place like this but had heard from locals it had good food. My daughter and I decided to share a hoagie veggie and added turkey to it which was close to 12 bucks but did come with choice of soup or salads. Clam chowder was one of the soups so we opted for that. The friendly server was kind enough to suggest making it a bowl (additional fee of course) and then split our sandwiches and gave us each a cup of soup so we had our own plates/soups even though we split it all, nice touch.The sandwich was fresh, tasty and being on a hoagie was more filling which was perfect for sharing. The clam chowder....let me just tell you, I'm am pretty critical of clam chowder as it's usually either room temp, or basically potato or bacon soup. This was about the best clam chowder I've ever tasted!!!! It was hot, it was super creamy, the diced potatoes didn't rule and the flavor was awesome. I loved the dill flair and appreciated no bacon, super rich and served with oyster crackers like it should be, a real winner! Sabrina the owner made and brought out the orders, also very friendly. I noticed they serve Martin Henry (my favorite but could no longer find) coffee/espresso but had just finished a latte before arrival. But luckily they sell it by the 1 pound sacks so I bought one although pricey at 14.00 but good coffee is pricey. The amount of food was just perfect in fact we had a 1/2 cup of chowder left and didn't dare leave it behind. The server was nice enough to put that and my ice tea in a container to go. The basic soda/ice tea drinks are 3 bucks, again a little steep. They offer a salad bar which is hard to find anymore but would like seeing a few more offerings on it like maybe baby corn, garbanzo beans, spinach, red onion, and/or maybe one salad like macaroni or coleslaw? Just a suggestion.. Our bill for 1 sandwich adding turkey 75 cents, upgrading the cup of soup to a bowl? and 2 basic beverages came to about 25 bucks plus pound of coffee making it 39,00 which didn't sound quite right but daughter paid and didn't get receipt. We will be back, good food, great service, good choices...all in all a nice sandwich shop in darling Sumner! read more

I was in Sumner for a car show this weekend. The owner, Sabrina, was out in the crowd giving away samples of her sandwiches. After a little bite of turkey on sourdough, I told my dad "this is where we're having lunch". And we did... And it was awesome... The sandwiches are really good. And the broccoli cheddar soup is delicious with huge hunks of broccoli in it. The service was friendly and quick even though they were packed with hungry car show participants. read more

Excellent food excellent service a must go. I would say it is the best place downtown to get a quick and tasty sandwich.

This is one of Sumners little hidden treasures!!! The food is FANTASTIC!!! They serve breakfast but, there specialty is lunch. They make AWESOME sandwiches and the soups are to die for!!! (they remind me of my Grandmas homemade soups) There are 2 woman that work there and I love the fact that the owner, Sabrina is out on the floor waiting tables and interacting with her customers. She is the sweetest thing and you can tell that she is genuinely happy that you chose to eat at her restaurant. I would give it 10 stars if I could. read more

I thought they made a good sandwich and it tasted like homemade I also had a blueberry muffin that was wonderful. I read some of the negative reviews, and most disagree with some of them. I don't want the contents of a sandwich running down my arm, I want it in my mouth. They make good sammiches here. read more

Just had one of the best Reuben i've had in a long time..tasty..not greasy... miss fries but the salad was fresh.. thanks.

Brought a group of friends. Yummy! Soups and salads very good and made from scratch. Most of us had the day's Sandwich Special. Very good food! Definitely coming back. read more

Whenever I'm not at work and I'm looking for a good sandwich with soup I go to Sabrina's. I love the turkey sandwiches, they are made with real turkey meat not that pressed deli stuff, it makes such a difference in the quality of the meal. Also her homemade soups are delicious. read more

This place is very yummy scrummy plus they have a cute girl who works here. I think her name is ciara? But she's a delight, very helpful and very professional! Speedy quick when I asked for my brewed iced tea and she was very detailed with my order! You have to check this place out!! read more

The French Dip was to die for!!! The service and environment was pretty amazing, too! Well done, Sabrina!

Delicious! Just had a great lunch at The Sumner Café (at Sabrina's Lunch in a Box - under new ownership). Awesome tortilla soup, yummy roast beef sandwich, great coffee and chocolate chip coffee muffin! Homemade treats that we saw brought out fresh from the oven when we arrived. Friendly prompt service. Highly recommend! read more

Great service and good food. I bit expensive. But worth it.

My daughter & I tried Sabrina's largely in part because of her Groupon deal. We went in for lunch & since it's a seat yourself type of establishment we promptly found ourselves a corner table. The ambiance was muted & not really spectacular. On par with what one might expect from a deli type place. My lil one & I only had a short wait before we were greeted & told that she would be right with us as she was dealing with another customer. Next to us was this old gentleman that Sabrina greeted by name. He had his paper open & his cup of joe & it appeared as if not only was he settling in for a nice long stay but that he had already been there a while. It's a throwback to the old diners where old timers came and sat for a spell. Made us feel very welcome. After she dealt with the other customers she came over & took our order. My lil one had turkey on honey oat, hold the tomatoes with a side of potato salad & a Snapple to drink. I decided to be good & go with the soup (chowder) & salad (garden) combo. We didn't have long to wait before our food was served. My lil one loved her sandwich except for the fact they forgot to hold the tomatoes. She also said she like the potato salad but to me it was just meh. I might be a lil biased on that subject though since it's my humble opinion that my mom makes the best potato salad EVER! In any case, she enjoyed her lunch. Mine was pleasing as well. The chowder was ok & there's really very little that one can do to mess up a garden salad. The portions for both of our lunches were large & so we both left there feeling pleasantly full. My lil one even had a portion of her sandwich & potato salad to take home. Overall it was a ok experience...not something you'd necessarily write home about but nice while it lasted. read more

I just love how much passion and integrity the owner/cook puts into his food. I come from a long line if cooks and I'm very picky about where to eat. The Sumner Cafe is very quaint and small but I LOVE the food and people there. The homemade soups and desserts are my favorite. And portions are pretty good too. I hope this place stays open for years to come! I'm so happy Sumner has a great place for consistently good, homemade food. read more

Excellent coffee, stumbled into the place while looking for drinkable coffee in Sumner after horrible service, food and coffee at another breakfast place in town. This cafe is hard to find, down a side street (Alder Ave) off Main, and in an alley between Bank of America and Chase. Do yourself a favor and give it a try! Also has gluten free options! read more
