I ordered the Italian Sammie, and my friend got the Genoa Sammie! We took them back to the hotel room and found that they were missing their condiments! Idk, I was supposed to say something about it, so make sure you know to get your mayo. I got the Italian Sammie and asked if they put the vinaigrette and olive oil on it, and he mentioned that they would. But with the amount of meat and bread it's missing a lot more to help it - I was super sad! We got some Utz and Munchies--light and fluffy! BOMB. We also got these random tasty crème drinks, and next time, just Pepsi please! I was soooo excited to find a spot that does cold cuts, but I was super underwhelmed.

A…read morelot of places don't hang around too long and that spot in particular has seemed hard to keep in business. But then we looked cross the street on 1st, where there used to be an Anthem, and even though it was already 6pm, this sandwich shop was still open and...there was a BINGO game happening. Whaddya know? So we took a peak in and they were not only serving sandwiches but they also had a cooler full of microbrews and kombuchas, beer on tap, wine, and a whole list of cocktails made from prosecco and other non-hard liquors like Amaro. Truly something for everyone. So we gave our order to the sweet human at the counter and took our seats I'm not kidding, my Amaro sour was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while in Tacoma and so were the pretzel sticks. I want my cocktails cold, tart, and refreshing with a little kick of funk or herbs and I want my pretzels salty. You wouldn't think that's such a high bar to clear but you'd be surprised. Sandwich Starr nailed it. Our Zatan sandwich was tasty but even though the bread felt a little stale. Otherwise the decor is kinda '90s coffee house and they've got bingo! Overall, this is an odd spot but the drinks are really good and it's got heart and it's the heart that makes it Tacoma.

So as my go to guide I yelped it! And up popped Kusher Bakery. You know I had to go and today we went there. It's an Eastern European bakery, and grocery store with products from multiple Eastern Europe countries. The selections are very good and then there is the bread baked daily except on Sunday. A bonus is the fact all the fresh baked bread can be sliced for you or you can take it home and slice it yourself. Having this service is great. Dark rye, 12-grain, and others that are....... well too many and all looked delicious. There is fresh baked Lavash, soft and delicious and many of the breads were still warm and fresh. The fresh piroshki! Awesome to say the least, Chicken, Cheese, Cabbage, and Apricot were available and hot. Look you can go to the other market on 70th and get very good stuff and pay quite a lot more, or go to Kusher and get a better selection and pay reasonable prices. Yes it is smaller but bigger is not always better and having this small place is a positive. For me Kusher wins hands down. So go, look around and get some awesome stuff.

My bf reminds me of this store we randomly came across one day. It has what the store in Lakewood has but more grocery options. Cute and homey store. I spent about 30mins+ give or take shopping for the family. There are many options of trinkets, chocolates (alcohol ones too) , drinks, mustards, curry ketchups, gummy candy, bread, gravy etc. I did notice they don't carry any Maggie products for gravy and such. I know that was my bro's first question as he prefers that brand lol. The staff is really kind. The deli dude was patient with me as I told him I have a lot to order. I met the female owner and she's a sweetheart. The cashier lady was also so helpful as I couldn't find a specific brand candy. She pointed me in the right direction and luckily there was enough :) There's plentiful parking in the lot, and can get pretty cramped when busy as it's not a big store but has many options.

First off, being a French themed walk-up, I spoke French and the proprietor responded in kind so I knew this would be good. The sandwich is huge, lots of butter (the right amount), Gruyère cheese, thinly sliced (a lot of it) French ham and cornichons . The bread, not technically a baguette was good with a nice chew but wasn't crunchy enough but was good and there was a slight hint of onion which wasn't over powering. I hadn't intended on eating the whole thing but it was that good and now I want to try it again. The menu looked good and if you are willing, you should give it a try as they have some nice looking dishes to try.

We were greeted and asked if we were ready and it was good that the menu is pretty condensed and easy to read as I can be indecisive. I got their large Cheesy British warmed up with a side of their macaroni salad while my boyfriend got the Smokey Mountain small warmed up. The cashier was friendly and repeated our order back to ensure we got what we ordered. Once we paid, him and another employee got to work. They have a clean and well-maintained bathroom here, which was great as I did have messy hands after eating my sandwich. The interior here feels very homey with plenty of tables and chairs, tall chairs at a bar and a bench to wait for your food. They deliver your order to you if you dine in while you have go pick up the order if you did take out. You get a thank you from the employees when you pick up or leave which I thought was sweet. The menu items are really affordable and they also have great combo meals too! The options of chips they have great pairings for their sandwiches. Speaking of sandwiches, our sandwiches were some of the best sandwiches that I have ever had. They really cut their ingredients thin which I personally loved as it stays in the sandwich better and adds a consistent texture. My boyfriend's Smokey Mountain was absolutely delicious as I feel it is hard to find good spots with pastrami. We look forward to trying out more of their menu!

I can honestly say they make a delicious Caprese melt but a just below average to average at best breakfast sandwich. The cinnamon bagel was pretty good, I enjoyed the slight sweetness to it but much like another reviewer stated, it seems like they just microwave their egg sandwiches which dosen't make for the most pleasant tasting egg... I also felt the egg wasn't cold, the cheese was melted but it also wasn't as warm as it should be. The egg and cheese bagel wasn't worth the $6. The caprese (mozzarella, pesto, tomato) was sooo good though and came with a little side of balsamic vinegar mixed with olive oil which creates a wonderful well balanced flavor when combined with the tomato and cheese. If I return I'll stick with their lunch menu items as they appear to be made with fresher ingredients.
