Very surprised to see this at my doctor's office in Brittonfield!! Great selection of sandwiches, mac and cheese, etc the day I was there. Reasonably priced and easy and fast lunch! Best part was the staff...the women who work there were SOOO SUPER FRIENDLY, which is just difficult to come by these days. Highly recommend!

We started going here after my prenatal appointments starting when I was 18 weeks pregnant. My son is now 15 months old and whenever I have an appointment in the same building or across the street, we always stop for the sandwiches. By far the best! The pasta bread is a family favorite(it's normally myself, my husband, my oldest son and the baby) along with the Buffalo chicken. It makes coming to the doctor more enjoyable having a great lunch to look forward to!
