A warm, yummy piece of cheesy-Lou's sauce bread with every cup of soup . Chowder is creamy with soft chunks of clam . Love that toppings are just enough, not overdone. Hate disproportionate produce :)

Kevin Park

First time here and I got the Italian special (pictured). Delicious! I also tried the Roma Club (turkey , avocado , and bacon . Worth the wait, but you should order ahead.

Stephen Saribalis

Got the Italian special and the Amicado . Both delicious. Soft roll perfectly toasted. Did not disappoint. Def ranks top 7 in my endless quest for the best sandwich in the city

At Lou's cafe you can get a breakfast sandwich at any time of day. While mixing it up is always encouraged, their Original Breakfast Sandwich is classically delicious. Read more

1st time. Got a breakfast and lunch . Haven't eaten lunch yet (buffalo chicken sandwich ), but Chicken Apple Sausage and Egg sandwich was amazing. Piping hot, perfect amount of everything.Will be back!

Trying different sandwiches and working my way across the sandwich board and haven't had a bad one yet. Love the fresh rolls they use.

Busy joint so there will be a wait after you order but portions are big so nice to share.

Rachel Rebecca

The sandwiches here are really really good! I really enjoy their sandwiches and I have been here quite a number of times the service here is decently friendly !

kristen chew

Adriano Tadao

Hot Pastrame is perhaps big enough to share between two people. Is very delicious!

Brian L

Kinda wish the chicken pesto was whole not sliced chicken , but otherwise amazing sandwiches . Great bread , sauce, toppings... Perfect!

ᴡ Miller

Wide variety of really good sandwiches . Wish it was open on Sunday!!

Amy Matsuno

Best sandwich in the city ...or ever. The Dutch Crunch bread here is not one bit overrated...worth every bite. The special sauce (garlicky & creamy) is a must-have,

Ebtihaj Ghareeb

It is my first time. I choosed the Turky with Cranberry , i love it❤️. I highly recommend it.

Charles Cainia

Extra special sauce is a must. I had the pastrami and it's as good as any I've had. Get your sandwich toasted and you won't regret it. Clam chowder is good as well .

GOPAGO is the way to go! Use this free app to order and pay beforehand, check status, then cut the line when you arrive to pick up.

Dana Weinberger

It's such a cute little place & my sammich & caramel macchiato were both so yummy!

Eric Castro

Turkey & cranberry with pepper jack on soft, sweet roll . Hold the pickles (otherwise sandwich is too wet)

John Esplana

My friend Emily's family owns this cafe . The sandwiches are all tasty my favorite is the Turkey Cranberry and don't forget Lou's Special Sauce on all the sandwiches .
