Biggest complaint, you can never count on them being open or having items. Even if you've checked social media. Lots of wasted time swinging by during supposed open hours. Other than that their food is decent just wished they used real cheese not American (check requirements to be considered cheese per the FDA, it's gross).

Chef is cooking with love, really good sandwiches and the best chowder!

I had the 'sloppy joe'. Unlike it's namesake, a tidy triple decker of deli roast beef on the bottom and turkey on top, both levels topped with house coleslaw and Thousand Island dressing, on a toasted light rye with garlic butter. Divine.

We stopped here Friday on the way to Seattle from Portland when I told a friend about the food wasteland between PDX and SEA and he said this place was worth the 10 min. detour off the freeway. Oh yeah definitely! The meatloaf and clam chowder were both the best I've had in a long long time. Looking forward to my next visit.

Oh my gosh I will be dreaming of this BLT! Shatteringly crispy bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, perfectly toasted bread. My partner got the meatloaf sandwich and the onions were so good on it!

Really happy to have this great lunch option within walking distance of my work office. Some items I’ve particularly enjoyed include: - The clam chowder - The hummus bagel - The salami grinder Looking forward to exploring the menu further in the near future!

Meh. We went for the quiche we were told was good, but, before noon on Friday, they had none left. Great planning on their part. Decided on the pastrami grinder, which had a "creamy Italian salad" on it that just made everything soggy. Also, for almost $15, I expected a lot more than a sandwich about 6" long with no cheese. My friend had a bagel sandwich with avocado - no meat - for $9-ish dollars. Also, you have to pay for parking and it's limited close by. Won't be going here again.

Highly recommend this small cafe in downtown Olympia! Best BLT and bacon egg and cheese sandwich we've ever had. Simple, yet delicious and down right.

After a short time of my favorite sandwich being only a few times every month or so the meatloaf is always on the menu and is well worth trip downtown! The staff is great and has been up to the task always and especially during this time of craziness! Thanks for the great sandwiches guys! *UPDATE* The pastrami grinder is fantastic, absolutely amazing!

We had lunch at this cafe. It was a delicious bacon bagel and blt. The kids loved their bagels and the blt was so good. Definitely a wonderful place for lunch. They also have a small selection of Olympic mountain ice cream.

Nice little cafe with a good looking menu. The alcoholic drinks are just served in a can, which was a disappointment, otherwise great place to eat at for a quick bit and some French pressed coffee!
