We were excited to find Crema Gourmet in the heart of Brickell on our way to get coffeee. I was craving a turkey club sandwich and surprisingly it's hard to find ! The porch was crowded with young , energetic , working class people ( and dogs ) so that's always a good sign!
The food looked really good in pictures, as well as plated.
The quality was not great . The bread was hard to chew. The turkey was very processed lunch meat , but there was not enough on the sandwich to worry about the nitrates , lol ! I subbed cheddar for the Swiss cheese , and unfortunately , my 3rd bite into the sandwich, I bit into plastic!!! I pulled it out of my mouth and it looked like the cheese wrapper ( like you would see on a slice of Kraft American "cheese"). I opened the sandwich to make sure there wasn't anymore plastic , although it was a pretty big piece, so , I'm not sure how the sandwich maker missed that ?!
I didn't let that deter me from eating , as I was really hungry and really craving a turkey club sandwich!!! The flavor of the sammy was delicious. It had a truffle aoli sauce on it .
I really wish the sandwich was better quality ( and obviously came without plastic lol) because this is a great spot with indoor outdoor seating that you can walk to, easily! The restaurant is clean and wheelchair accessible with a ramp, and some wheelchair labeled seating. The workers seemed friendly.
I definitely wouldn't get a sandwich there again, but maybe I'll give it a try for coffee, a juice or pastries that other people seem to be ordering.
My stomach did hurt after eating 1/2 of the sandwich. ( I split it with my husband). We were going to order a salad to share with it, Once my husband finished parking the car and got there, but after my biting into plastic, we decided to just go. I'm not sure what made my stomach hurt so much after half of their sandwich- it could've been the bread, the processed meat or possibly eating plastic before I noticed? Maybe it was plastic that I ate when I thought the bread was hard to chew?
Looking back, I should have showed them and said something to them, but by the time my husband found parking and got there, I had already eaten my half and just wanted to go.
The food looks pretty in pics, I just hope you have a better quality sandwich and we did!
