Such a joyful experience here today! My husband and I planned to head to the park with our kids and wanted to pick up sandwiches for a picnic. I placed an order on the website to pick up at 10:15 (the earliest available time). The online ordering process was simple, although there are a lot of categories to wade through--if you know what you want, you'll have no problem. Keep in mind there aren't any descriptions of the items, so knowing what you'd like is key (if you aren't sure or have questions, I'd recommend ordering in the store as they are so very helpful). The ordering system places your order but you pay at the register when you arrive.
On first impression, the store was clean, modern, well-lit and beautifully furnished. I loved the seating area which has bench seating (great for kiddos) and leather chairs that were incredibly comfortable.
When we arrived the cashier said our sandwiches were in the process of being made, but she offered me coffee on the house while we waited! Such good service. Keep in mind, they make your food to order for the highest quality product, so if you're in a hurry you might want to place an online order or give them a call. The best thing was, they didn't mind that our kids were a little energetic, and interacted with them happily--it made us feel very welcome.
We waited about 15 minutes after arrival, and the weather turned to rain by then, so we decided to forego the picnic and eat there. Great music (it was Ghibli piano songs while we were there), comfortable seating, and the food was delicious! The sandwich bread is a fluffy but dense milk bread that is surprisingly filling, and the pork Katsu and chicken Katsu were still crunchy and warm. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and I enjoyed the addition of cucumber to the sandwiches. The sandwiches have a subtle flavor, so if you're looking for something spicy or intense, I'd say to try elsewhere.
The star though, was the fruit sandwich. Really incredible! The tangerine tasted like a creamsicle with the cream cheese/whipped cream, it was all I could think about that afternoon. I see why this sells out--if you'd like to try one, get there early! The owner was so welcoming and explained that these fruit sandwiches take a lot of time to prepare.
I felt the care and pride in each of the sandwiches we had today, along with the lovely service. That will keep us coming back, again and again!
