Cappuccino was good. But Turkey burger wrap arrived at my table without Avacado or cheese as promised. No one told me maybe I would gave changed my order. I was really looking forward to that Avacado...instead my wrap swimming with mayo.. I guess to make up for it.

Everything here is great. Homemade everything, even the veggie cream cheese. Don't get me started on the pesto mayo. Bring your friends, or take it to go to make your work friends jealous.

Are you serious??? Okay, I am a sandwich lover. There are sandwiches out there that make my mouth water and I am willing to drive long distances and spend good money for... This place does not make a sandwich worth either.
Today I stopped at Java Babba's for lunch, after finding my favorite burrito place (Tacos Tacos) closed... I was too early. So, I get out of my truck and on my way in find that the trash outside the door is OVER FLOWING... Not necessarily their fault, but still a bad way to enter a restaurant.
Looking up at the board and seeing the high prices on the sandwiches (around $8.50) and many specialty sandwiches, I was getting ready to have a decent sub or wrap. I decided on the Italian, a go to for me in a new place when all of the sandwiches seem a little too out there... stick with something pretty basic and come back for the adventure if it works out well. I was happy when they offered white, wheat, wrap, and french baguette as bread choices. I took it with French and the guy with me got white... My mouth was watering but oddly enough they didn't ask about veggies, but I looked up and saw lettuce and tomatoes came on it, and I saw oil and vinegar, asked for it without the vinegar and ponied up the $9 and change after tax. The sandwich came quickly enough, and looked large enough.
When I opened the wrapping, that is where the disappointment started. 1 layer of each hot(not so hot) ham, bologna, capricola, and pepperoni, I think. These layers were paper thin, thin enough to see through, which would be good if they were piled on, but I bet there wasn't 2 ounces of meat total on this "baguette" which was niether crusty nor flavorful, nor bubbly, nor airy, but dense and soft on the outside.... really, this is a baguette??? Oh wait, the guy who asked for white got the same bread. So really they just wanted to make the white sub sound special and make it sound like they had more options. The oil was soaked in deep to the spongy wonder bread sub, but wasn't any special olive oil nor did it have any flavor at all. There was 1 leaf of lettuce, and thick bland (though deep red and ripe) slices of tomato.
Right down the street is a subway where you can get twice the sandwich for half the price. Maybe Java Baba's has awesome coffee, and I did see some other stuff in there that looked interesting, like cookies and candies, but they should just stay out of sandwiches altogether if they are going to charge the most of 10 bucks for what should be a $4 dollar sub.

This is a great local Cafe with a casual atmosphere, plenty of hot and cold drinks options, plus tons of food choices to meet your breakfast, lunch, or snacking needed. Free wifi too. Great place!

Early morning coffee, a wide array of sandwiches for lunch and free WiFi... If you are in the Ludlow area for more than a day you will probably have reason to visit this popular local Hotspot. Mediocre service and better than expected food.

Got their breakfast sandwich on a bagel and it was phenomenal! Well worth going here!

Will patronize again if and when I hear the owner has corrected the atmosphere of unfair, unsupportive, disrespectful treatment, consistent minmum wage regardless of position, shorting of pay, and fraternization with employees in exchange for special treatment. Left this job disgusted and have only seen it get worse. Good luck, Bob.

Best sandwich I’ve had in an age. If they fancy setting up a Montclair NJ branch, I’m in.

Not worth stopping. Coffee sucks and so does service.. there is a very bitchy lady who is either the owner or the manger and she can just transform a nice coffee stop in a awful experience.. bakery across the street is a much more recommend place

The food is great! I had the 2 egg and cheese on a croissant. The bread was soft and the eggs tasted so fresh.
