I had heard good things and it was on my list for a while so was excited to try it. Clean place. I ordered at the counter. They told me there would be a 10 mins or so wait for my sandwich which was fine. Ordered my 12 inch turkey pastrami which is their most popular sandwich and a bottled drink. The total was 22 and change before tip which I thought was a little steep. The sandwich came in 4 pieces. Had the pastrami, tomato, pickle, peppers on a soft bread. The bread was fresh and soft. The sandwich was filled well with a good ratio of filling to bread. The taste was very well balanced and fresh. I wish there was more of the pastrami. Overall, I had a good and tasty lunch even though a little expensive. Happy to support a local black owned business. I would give this place a try if you want a good sandwich in a friendly environemnt.

Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced, and the honey mustard they use is next-level. It adds just the right amount of sweetness and tang without overpowering the rest of the sandwich. The staff was just as great as the food. Friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better.

We've been wanting to try this spot out, and finally got around to ordering delivery last weekend!…read moreHere's what we liked, what was so-so, and what we'd try in the future: SMASH: - They offer delivery! It's a smaller radius since they're a small business. - We were outside of their delivery radius by a few blocks, but they have great customer service and were able to make it for us. - This area doesn't have a ton, so it's really nice to have a locally owned spot we can support! - I love their unique twists on some pizza toppings - the bianca was unique! - My partner found the "twin thin" crust concept really inventive - They offer gluten-free crust! PASS: - My partner and I both remarked that there wasn't much cheese on our pizzas - maybe we're just dairy fanatics, but I could've used a lot more! - I found my Bianca pizza a bit dry, though the flavor was good - the fries were soggy by the time it was delivered, and it was a really small portion. Not wholly their fault, but I'll skip ordering these next time. In the future, I want to go in person to see what they've got for deli sandwiches and soups! Thank you for being a Bryn Mawr staple and local business.

I ordered from this place because I believe it was still open and I didn't want Pizza Hut because…read morewe have them at home. Unfortunately I am not a fan of the way they make their pizzas. I've never had pizza toppings and cheese slide off so much in my entire life. The flavor was pretty good but it was just difficult to eat without being super messy. I actually just wished I would have ordered Pizza Hut instead because I atleast know what to expect. But of course you have to try most things to know if you like them or not. If this place continues this trend I would suggest people try another place while in town.

Oh heaven help me that price tag. Ouch! DX…read more We were at a nearby events with friends who were hungry, so we debated where to eat and landed here cuz a sub sounded good to us all. I really wasn't prepared to spend $15 on a single sandwich though. Listen, everything about this place was fine. Including the sandwich itself (I got the Adult Club cuz I love me some chicken salad, but I should've asked to have the bread toasted... it really wasn't all that sourdoughy in taste either??). I just can't quite get over the amount it cost. Which I guess might be why there aren't any prices listed on the menu signs. Like, my hubbie and I DIDN'T get drinks or chips or a side or dessert. None of that. Just a sandwich for the each of us and it was $30. If we had added stuff, I bet we'd've run the bill up to $50 in no time. For lunch! Gotta be trippin'! I like supporting small local business when I can but I think this place isn't in my budget. Sorry. :( But the employees were nice, the ambiance was cool, the tables were clean, large selection of drinks, very tempting looking desserts, even ice cream, and a community board. If money isn't a concern that factors into your decisions, absolutely patronize this joint. I'll just be jealous.

It's one of the places I make sure to bring out of town friends who are visiting Minneapolis! There's nothing better than grabbing a sandwich from here and heading to one of the nearby lakes. That being said - there isn't much for seating in this establishment. I view it as a grab and go spot! Great selection of canned drink and chips as well. They have a full freezer of Sebastian Joes ice cream - I love picking up lunch here for a picnic. I'm interested in learning more about their catering, my fiancé and I would love to have them at our rehearsal dinner!

Stopped here to do birthday desserts!! Here are the key things to note!…read more Free parking Great patio!! It was covered and the flowers around this place are gorgeous!! You are looking out to a street but the flowers REALLY make up for that! There is inside seating as well, table and chairs. You walk up and order. The desserts and separate from the main course items. I appreciated that! Made the lines go faster. The service on the other hand was lacking. I stood there waiting while 2 people had a convo and I felt ignored. I dropped a star for that reason. The key lime pie and dirt cup were very tasty!! This place is known for its "pattiecake" but I just felt it was a regular chocolate cake with frosting. They have plenty of desserts though! Overall this place gives "up scale Panera vibes" and I liked it! I would go back!

After several visits over the last few years, here are my thoughts…read more -Lots of seating! If you're looking for a table indoors and the main area is packed, head to the back (towards bathrooms) where you'll find two rooms with additional seating which are usually quieter. - I tend to go for sandwiches, which include house made chips. Honestly, when I first went, I wasn't a fan of the chips, but it didn't take long for me to like them. Once while dining in, I found that most of them were just tiny bits. Well when the waiter came to ask how things were, I told/showed him... just as an FYI, not expecting anything. Well, he kindly brought me a bag to replace them. -The staff is mostly kind, with two male waiters/runners being especially nice and helpful. While myself or others are waiting they'll give friendly smiles, see if you need anything in the meantime. I like them! - Although I go mainly for the sandwiches, (my favorite being the Southwest Chicken Panini available in the Fall), I also like the mac and cheese and fries. I used to love the coconut cake, but something about the last one I bought tasted different. The filling and the cake texture... weren't as tasty as I remember. During my last visit I tried, the Reuben. Not for me, but they have lots of other things to try.

The seating is comfortable and the service is fast though, providing a pleasant experience for all.

***BANH MI HEADCHEESE GOAT***…read more This is the best Banh Mi sandwich I've ever had in my entire life for a cold cut with homemade real head cheese. I've always said that places that make Banh Mi without the head cheese & charge the same $8 prices and call it a cold cut these places need to be locked up and the key thrown away because that is not a real cold cut Banh Mi & you're getting ripped off. This place is totally worth every penny that you pay for their sandwiches. They also make vegan sandwiches. Their marinated tofu is actually really good. I really wish this place would make Boba drinks, especially something with like a coffee jelly because I'm always wanting a Vietnamese sandwich with a Boba drink. Luckily there's a couple down the street that I can go to to get this right after I pick up a sandwich from here. Minnesota is the only place that I've found that makes really good Banh Mi sandwiches. I honestly don't think any other state compares to the Vietnamese food here.

It is pretty casual; you can ordered at the counter and they assemble the sandwich right in front of you. For hot foods, they called out when your order is ready! Everything is ready quickly, so it would be a good spot if you only have a short break. If you have more time and you'd like to sit down, they have plenty of seating available! They serve banh mi, rice noodle bowls, egg rolls, and spring rolls. They have several vegetarian option. I got the veggie egg rolls and a large tofu banh mi which I split with a friend! The egg rolls had a good crisp. They're filled with carrots and bean thread primarily. They are definitely an oilier egg roll, but no one eats egg rolls to be healthy! They are tasty, and I would get them again! The tofu banh mi was good! The tofu had a good curry flavor, and they were generous with their fillings, which I really appreciated! The bread itself wasn't the crispiest, but it was a humid day so I could see that making it a little less crisp! It was still overall good, and I was really happy with the amount of mayo that went on the sandwich! I think you get good bang for your buck with the sandwiches here, so I would recommend it and go back!

I visited Lake and Bryant Cafe hoping for a great Uptown breakfast experience, and while the…read moreatmosphere is certainly cozy--with a nice vibe and that famed fireplace lounge--my visit was a mixed bag that ultimately left me feeling disappointed. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, and unfortunately, it missed the mark. For a café that seems to put so much effort into its unique menu the sandwich felt processed and lacked the fresh, high-quality ingredients I expected. It was just an unsatisfying start to the meal. The waffle tasted like one of those store-bought belgian waffles However, I have to give credit where it's due: the espresso was excellent. It was nice and strong, clearly made from well-sourced beans. It's a great spot for a caffeine fix. The staff were kind and attentive, and the cafe itself is a great spot to work on a laptop, but based on the food quality of my visit, I can't give it a full recommendation yet. I'll likely be back for the coffee, but I'll stick to one of their more popular items next time.

I got the world's best pasta dish & was so in love that I got a second plate for later that evening. They have a great selection of beverages. My best friend who is not a vegan at all loved this place too, so definitely bring anyone and everyone! We sat right by the window which was so cute because it rained & we got to observe the quaint street. Dani was our server & she was really funny & sweet. Henrick was behind the counter & I remember talking to him about the most niche subjects, haha. He was there when I ordered my second helping. Before I left, I saved both of their names in a draft & am fiiiinally writing this. This is just a place that is very emblematic of Minneapolis at heart. It's somewhere you dine whether you live in the city, the suburbs, or are in town for a few days (like we were), and it perfectly engulfs the atmosphere of the city at large. Wholesome, hearty food. Beers & cool, delicious drinks. Very friendly employees that you can talk about anything with & get recommendations, etc. I would absolutely come back. I hope to visit Minneapolis again soon to get more of that pasta...!!!!!

Digging into the main course we ordered the nachos to share, and each of us had a different meal choice ranging from the fettuccine to the pub Burger, the chicken sandwich as well as the ramen noodles. The item of note is that they don't have any wait staff to that comes to your table except to deliver food, and you have to wait for them to bring your selections to you. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about the intricacies of the menu items and was always eager to answer any questions about the specials, etc. To top it off they have a really nice patio with some lovely rabbit wildlife running amok.
