Another sad day... my favorite sandwich/coffee shop is closing today.

When a small local business closes, the entire community loses. So many townspeople do not realize what they are losing after today.

I suppose there are many reasons for people not trying it out. The location wasn't great... but it actually is close enough to downtown for anyone to grab lunch and be back in thirty minutes. The building is kind of hidden from the street and there is no signage out front.

Admittedly, i knew about the place for several months before trying it... but after that, i was hooked! This place makes the healthiest sandwiches in town.

As well as the best hamburger. The hamburger is marinated in espresso, and is so fresh and juicy. And NO grease!

They recently added a patty melt to the menu. Again, NO grease! Not even on the bread... but it is still sooo good!

As much as i do love their patty melts, my favorite has got to be the Raspberry Ham sandwich, which features ham, swiss cheese, fresh spinach, raspberry preserves, walnuts and light mayo on whole wheat. They also have one called Napa Valley, which has turkey, swiss, shredded carrots, red grapes (yes, grapes), romaine lettuce and raspberry vinaigrette on lightly toasted whole wheat.

Both taste experiences are fabulous! The fruit really adds to the flavor of the sandwiches!

Today for lunch, i'll have a sandwich there and order another to take home for the weekend... then that will be it. I'll hold on the the menu so i can make the sandwiches myself... no one else in town has a menu like this.

I also bought a coffee mug (even though i don't drink coffee) so i can remember the place existed.

So, today is a good day to support your favorite small, local restaurant... for who knows where they'll be tomorrow?

Bon appetit!
