Firstly, many of the reviews here predate this establishment and anything a year ago were for the old bakery Angelina's.
I was excited to try the cheesesteak here as I saw a few mentions on Instagram. I stopped by here early on a Sunday to try it and my wife got a pork roll egg and cheese.
First, let's talk about the roll, the rolls are delivered daily, from New York which give the sandwiches here a great base. It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with roasted seseme seeds. Delicious.
That said, it's what inside that matters, and it wasn't amazing, it wasn't bad either. The cheesesteak here was middle of the pack, the bread paired well, but it was just missing something to push it over the edge. The same could be said with the pork roll egg and cheese, it was okay, just nothing extraordinary and at $14, $16 for a breakfast or lunch sandwich you would expect more. Sides are absent from the menu and chips are extra, which makes the sandwiches not the best value. I know the cheesesteak itself was very overvalued with places like Cafe Carmela not too far away.
The menu itself contains a good heart of sandwiches, but sells you on none, no inspiring spreads, aolis, combinations then any typical Italian deli sandwich, which put toe to toe with others still has some work to do, but the bones of a great sandwich shop are here.
