Great place for lunch on the go if you’re attending a program or meeting at Pacific Tower. The selection isn’t huge, but they do what they do really well. I’m a big fan of their sandwiches; in my experience, FareStart sandwiches are fairly boldly flavored, which isn’t always true of grab-and-go lunch counters. (I’ve come to expect a certain inoffensive blandness from any sandwich pulled out of a cooler, but the pesto, meat, and cheese on my Italian are tasty as heck. I’m eating it as I type!)
I’ve also inevitably received genuinely warm and friendly (and professional!) service from the folks behind the counter. Grabbing a sandwich or salad from FareStart at Pacific Tower is a really pleasant moment during a busy day.
