"Opened December 21 in a bright, cozy Ferndale space by hospitality veteran Mike Finsilver, this cafe built a following through pop-ups and focuses on carefully composed sandwiches and rotating soups and seasonal salads. Standouts include a spicy mortadella sandwich served on crunchy semolina batards with thinly sliced mortadella, a fiery house-made bomba calabrese spread, and chopped iceberg lettuce salad tossed in a preserved lemon buttermilk dressing, and the Clong, a thick-cut turkey sandwich made with turkey raised on the west side of the state, provolone, an herby mayo, a roasted cherry tomato spread, pickled shallots, and dressed greens on focaccia." - Serena Maria Daniels
