Their hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and I definitely should not have cut it that close. Even so, Larry--who I believe is the owner--treated me like a long-lost brother. He never made me feel rushed or unwelcome and took excellent care of me. I ordered the Club Salad, and it was so good my mouth is watering just thinking about it. This was my very first visit and my first time even knowing this place existed, but Larry is my guy now. Outstanding food, outstanding service, and easily the best deli in Texas.

Well, talk about a hidden gem. I had this place bookmarked but could not tell you where I heard…read moreabout it. It is basically a little luncheon oasis dropped right in the middle of a gigantic industrial park. On the drive over I was seriously questioning my Yelp choices. It is that kind of location. But trust Yelp and sometimes you are handily rewarded, which we absolutely were. We came after a few hours strolling around at the Botanical Gardens, so we rolled in around 1:30 and there were still plenty of people there. I can only imagine at noon this place is packed, and honestly it should be. My biggest complaint is the menus. There is one above the counter that does not include everything, and then a different, more complete version if you scan the QR code at the table (But 2 different navigations even on the website with slightly different menus). Do yourself a favor and look it up ahead of time so you are not standing there making panic decisions. There is a half sandwich and half soup combo (Not on the board but online menu), which is definitely the move. I got the pozole, which you should absolutely order, and a half grilled cheese on their housemate sourdough. Normally not my go to, but I was trying not to be completely stuffed since we had dinner plans. And they bake their own sourdough, so I had a strong feeling it would be great, and it delivered. Toasty and melty, American and cheddar. My husband got the southwestern wrap, and my friend went with the half club and half tomato soup. She immediately regretted not getting the pozole and the half birria sandwich, which tells you everything you need to know. Also need to mention the snickerdoodle. Not much to look at, kind of humble, but it completely makes up for it with flavor and that perfect soft texture. Go ahead and get the cookie. You are not here to make responsible decisions. Bottom line, it may feel like you are driving into the middle of nowhere, but keep going. This place is worth it.

I've been craving a sub sandwich so I tried out the "Firehouse Hero", which is "Roast beef, smoked turkey breast, honey ham, and melted provolone, served with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, and deli mustard with a dill pickle spear served on the side.". The shop is small, but cozy, and the staff were friendly. I got mine to go, and had them top it with some hot sauce that was rated 8/10-hot on their scale. However, I couldn't taste any spice at all once I ate it, so i'm unsure if they forgot or just put a very tiny amount on it. The sandwich was good, although it was somewhat "wet" of a sandwich. The gluten-free bread was great, as I couldn't tell a difference taste-wise or texture-wise. I'm glad to have found this spot and hope they continue the gluten-free bread option.

Not only is this cafe so cozy and comfortable, there is plenty of space to sit! It would absolutely be perfect for anyone looking for a good working from home location as they also have plenty of outlets! And the service! Oh my, the girls at the front have been so sweet and kind! They often make conversation while also helping choose the best options on the menu! Now for the good stuff! The Menu! I have yet to try any of their food options, but I have had a chance to try both their iced and hot lattes! I can confidently say that Cafe Frida knows what they are doing when it comes to a good cup of caffeine! Sometimes, especially when ordering something with a bit more sweetness, coffee or espresso can lose it's taste, and as someone who craves the taste of coffee and espresso, Cafe Frida def makes sure all flavors are balanced! I just love when a coffee isn't overtaken by so many different flavors! I already cannot wait to go back! I attend pilates on Wednesday's, so they will def be seeing me again!

So crisp in the outside and tender like poboy bread on the inside. The sandwich toppings were nice. I got the basic ham and it was full of flavor. The pickled veg were so well seasoned and nice. It was a very nice compliment to the rich pork and some sort of spread they had on it. I could not get enough of this thing. I truly thought i hated bahn mi.
