I desperately wanted to love Alma Provisions and give it five stars. I love all things Alex Roberts but I'm sorry to say that Alma Provisions has been a miss for me. Not opening until 8 is a bummer for a coffee shop. I live in the neighborhood and when they started building, I was so excited! It looked like it would be a coffee window you walked up to, which is so great if you're out walking a dog! Unfortunately, it's not a window you walk up to. It's the window you have to stand outside of, waiting for your coffee or food you ordered INSIDE. There is not any seating indoors. In the fall, waiting outside for a breakfast sandwich was ok. In the winter, to say that it sucks to stand there is an understatement. I will say, the coffee and breakfast sandwiches and pastries are great. The lunch food I would probably not get again, which is too bad because there aren't a lot of weekday lunch spots in the immediate neighborhood. I have only ordered a sandwich here one time and you get it out of a deli case. I was SO disappointed when I got home with my turkey and cheddar to find that the entire bottom of the sandwich was completely soggy from the herb vinaigrette that's on it. Herb vinaigrette would be a terrific addition to a sandwich that was just made, but in a sandwich that's been sitting in a plastic box in a deli case all day, it creates a soggy (but still pretty delicious) mess.
