Here in Vancouver for a work trip, and stopped for a late lunch. Located at 1308 Burrard St in Davie Village, this is a small, fast-casual local gem. Sandwiches, salads, and pastry are house-made with a focus on nearby farms and suppliers.
Specials are listed on a board outside the door, so take a look before you go in. We were too late for the (what sounded fantastic) grilled cheese daily special, but all other specials and daily soup were available. The friendly staff obliged and offered menu guidance. As we waited for our meal, passers-by waved through the window and another patron shared "current" favorite is the falafel sandwich or the grilled veggie sando. In previous years, the Rueben and lemon chicken.
And taste a bit of history: the dough "culture", from which sandwich bread and calzone dough is made, has been nurtured and fed for over 10 years, and when you bite into that sandwich (or calzone), you can taste the love that has sustained this place for years.
The lemon rosemary roasted chicken is a signature item, but with our excellent meal experience, I'd say get whatever sounds good. I asked some patrons - self-reported frequenters. Plan for takeout or come at an "off" time to enjoy the limited seating inside and a few sidewalk tables.
We tried the corn chowder, lemon rosemary chicken salad, side of macaroni and cheese, and the meatball sandwich. All were terrific!
