Great lunch spot. Stopped by happenstance with the fam on a trip through Waterloo and found this little gem. Portions were large, fresh and delicious. Tried the gyro, the Cuban, a club, a grilled cheese and KC dog. Everybody was raving about the food! Most sandwiches were ordered custom and they nailed em all, even (and most importantly) the dairy allergy! Super friendly too.

This downtown sandwich shop is fantastic! Great interior themes and amazing food. I’m not normally a sandwich guy, but stopped in on a whim and everything far exceeded expectations. I’d recommend this place to anyone.

As you read in their other positive reviews, we too enjoyed our food. Traveling from Sturgis SD to Philly Pa, it was a cool stop.

I’ve been in a few times and haven’t been disappointed yet. I tried the turkey & bacon club on my first visit and it was great – I added avocado to mine, but I’m sure it would be great without it as well. The poblano potato salad I got the next time was AMAZING!!! I could eat that by itself for a meal! It has great flavor and isn’t something you can get anywhere else in town. The grilled cheese will be my next choice when I stop in, I saw others order it and it looked so gooey and delicious! Definitely a great little spot in town with cozy decor/atmosphere. I love that they also have products from other local businesses…a great addition to the Cedar Valley for sure.
