Everything at this little cafe is amazing. It's giving French street cafe vibes and offers about 10 tables. There is also a counter along one wall for 4 individuals.
La Spiga bakes breads for top DFW restaurants' bread baskets and sandwiches every day. The cafe uses the fresh bread along with other fresh ingredients for delightful sandwiches, salads, soups, pastas and pizza.
For its sandwiches, the cafe slices fresh oven baked turkey breast, corned beef, roast beef and other meats and pile them onto the fresh bread. The chicken tarragon salad is one of the most delightful and refreshing salads I've ever had, made with freshly baked chicken seasoned with tarragon, chopped apples and celery, red and green seedless grapes, and sliced almonds in a mayo dressing. It's served on a bed of fresh romaine lettuce and portions are so large that a small salad is easily enough for one.
The last time I was there I had the chicken salad just described and my companion had a turkey sandwich. While we were enjoying our meals, we saw a server bring the most incredible Reuben sandwich I had ever seen to another table. I mentioned to my companion and we both began re-evaluating our menu choice. Not to worry though, we went to La Spiga again yesterday just for the Reuben sandwich and we're not disappointed. The sandwich came with the cafe's homemade potato chips and a green salad. Nothing on the plate was ordinary. The sandwich was loaded with juicy corned beef, sauerkraut, what started like some stone ground mustard, maybe a bit of horseradish sauce and plenty of Swiss cheese. The salad had romaine and other salad greens, carrots, mushrooms, cucumber, black olives, and a pepperoncini all tossed in a creamy Italian dressing. We could only eat half the sandwich but we got to take the other half home - dinner! Best of all, this sandwich plate was &10.95 (which includes the second half of the sandwich that we each took home.)
I have eaten at La Spiga for more than 15 years and have never been disappointed by any item on the menu. The same attention to detail is given to everything they serve. The cafe is open for breakfast and while I have never been there that early, I have no doubt that breakfast is equally delightful. There are also loaves of fresh bread, rolls, muffins, cakes, and cookies available. I got a cookie and we both bought loaves of fresh bread to bring home - Cinnamon raisin, jalapeno cheese.
