"Cozy and welcoming place with a great atmosphere. Simple but delicious menu with fresh food and a great variety of pressed sandwiches. The tater toast: amazing. The coffee is amazing, prices are reasonable, and there is indoor seating available. 📌Parking can be a bit tricky due to the area, but it’s worth it. Clean space and restrooms, plus friendly and attentive staff. Recommended if you value details and real experiences and real opinions. 👑"

"I used to come here a lot in college but haven’t been back in 10 years. It still lives up, ordered the Ropa Vieja sandwich which is a slow roasted steak with sweet plantains. It was so good. Also ordered a small bean soup, it was lacking flavor. It definitely needed more salt. But it came with a side of warm bread that was awesome. I definitely can’t wait to come back and order more sandwiches!!"

"Sandwiches were phenomenal! Both Jerk sandwich and Costa sandwich were delicious and well balanced with PLENTY OF MEAT! Prices were also very reasonable! Although, bathroom situation was a bit bad. They had one bathroom and the line was too long at times."
