The standouts were the schnitzel sandwich and the Cuban--both were incredibly fresh, perfectly hot, and packed with flavor. We also grabbed a few baked sweets to enjoy later in the afternoon, which turned out to be the perfect treat after a day out. What truly elevated the experience was the owner--so warm, welcoming, and full of great recommendations. You can tell there's real care behind both the food and the experience here.

We don't need a huge lunch so ordered a Chicken Schnitzel which is served on a challah bun. We ordered it plain since we took it home and cut it in half and add condiments to our individual taste. This was very good and half was all either of us needed. The menu of hot sandwiches is very tempting. There are at least 15 offerings from various versions of the chicken schnitzel to ham and cheese to Cubans to jerk and Cajun. They also offer burger varieties as well as build your own. There are plenty of no-charge condiments plus some like fried egg, bacon, grilled onions or peppers, etc for a charge. Our sandwich was made fresh for us and was still nicely hot when we got home to enjoy it. The two of us had a very good sandwich at a great price. And don't forget to check out the assortment of freshly baked donuts and sweet pastries. They are very tempting.

I am so disappointed in the cupcakes that were done for my wedding…read more My friend was going to make the cup cakes and decorate them, however her father passed away and she was unable to do. We had to rush to find a place to make cupcakes and we found icings on the cake. It was two weeks prior to my wedding and I was worried I wouldn't find a place. I was so thrilled that icings on the cake said they could do the 4 dozen cupcakes and when asked if they could do sunflowers I was told yes. Especially seeing the cupcakes on the website icingsonthecakes.com (picture 3). What I got was so dissapointing.
