    Having a bad day? Need some love? Try one of the sandwiches with a soup. Things will improve. I promise.

    I recently moved offices closer to Downtown. I've been on the hunt for good food, and I came across this place and their Southwest salad is something I can't find anywhere. I ordered it and I'm obsessed! The dressing is a little spicy but it could be the pepper jack mixed with the dressing, but either way its delicious! I have a new favorite spot!

    It was my second time here, the 1st time was a few weeks ago, I called in my order for a salad, when i arrived it was almost $10 for a small sized salad and honestly wasn't even that good... Seemed not fresh and was even a little luke warm. Today we forgot lunch so decided to give another chance... I went in to order and Man-Bun didn't even acknowledge our existence as we stood right in front trying to order our food. We stood there for about 10 mins and were passed over so we just walked out. Will not be back.

    My favorite soup and sandwich shop. Great sandwiches and soups and nextdoor to the library. When I visit the library on an in-office day to get a new book, my routine is to get lunch here while I start to read my book. I started eating here in 2019 when I first moved to Albuquerque and started working downtown. I am so glad it didn't go out of business during Covid. I love it! Best sandwiches and soups.

    Hidden gem! I got a delicious salad to go from here for a great price — and they even threw in a cookie! Friendly, efficient service and good for a fresh, simple lunch.

    This is a small sandwich shop owned and operated by a delightful husband and wife. The food is Phenomenal!!! A must try!

    Great sandwich shop in downtown. The grilled cheese and soup lunch deal is awesome and even comes with a small cookie, but you can't really go wrong with any of the sandwiches either.

  • 5/5 J. G. 1 year ago on Google
    The soups are always amazing. Everything is made fresh. Cheap and yummy

    Dang! I was not expecting to love that Turkey Banh Mi sandwich but it hit the right taste buds. I am for sure returning and reordering it.

  • 5/5 Olivia L. 11 months ago on Google
    Love their salads. The house made croutons and ranch make it amazing. The service is great too.

  • 5/5 Meg S. 11 months ago on Google
    Fantastic friendly service with a smile! Po is a great hostess and made us feel at home. Must come eat here. Rost beef aoli sandwich is AMAZING! CC's chicken has such amazing flavor!

    I had the Turkey with avocado on a croissant and it was absolutely delicious. Very simple, with fresh vegetables and high quality meat. The people working there were very friendly and you can’t beat the location if you’re stopping by the library. Definitely stop by if you get the chance.

    The best dang sandwich I've ever eaten. Imagine working a hard manual labor job outside in the middle of July. You're sweaty, beaten down by the sun, exhausted from the work you've been doing. Then you go inisde for a break, and take a sip of lemonade. Visualize how refreshing that would feel. Take that feeling, and that's what the first bite of the Turkey Banh Mi is. Refreshing as frick. That whole dang sandwich was so freakin' good. I couldn't put it down. I was tremendously bummed out when I was finished because I wanted more. 10/10 would recommend this sandwich. I'd eat this literally every freaking day. God Bless Al's Big Dipper.

    This place is just simply amazing. The bread was beautifully crispy and they have plenty of options. They set the bar high for sandwiches.

  • 5/5 Amanda W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, friendly service. It's a fan favorite for all my colleagues, we work in a building nearby. Fantastic grilled cheese!

    Open for lunch nice sandwich and homemade soup.

  • 5/5 Kimberly M. 6 years ago on Google
    Everything I have tried so far has been great. Keep it up. It's hard to find a place with good sandwiches at a decent price.

  • 4/5 Luke D. 6 years ago on Google
    Great Boar's Head sandwiches and a decent cup of coffee. Cookies come with sandwiches-a nice bonus if you have a sweet tooth! Try they're sweet onion jam on the roast beef sandwich!

  • 5/5 Stephanie H. 5 years ago on Google
    The food is delicious! I love Evan's Heavenly Ham and the Turkey cob salad. Everything is good though. I recommended to anyone who loves salads and sandwiches.

    The food is okay, not really any vegetarian options. I get tired of eating the same thing every time I go to a restaurant. Prices are steep. Good coffee and very conveniently located for doing some reading.
