We tried this cute little sandwich shop here in Palm Desert. Had the Reuben Panini and the house sandwich number 14 which was a yummy chicken salad with Craisins and pecans, everything was delicious. Small shop with a few tables inside and outside. Good for take out.

We walked in and were greeted immediately. We ordered the Hottie and the Ashlee. After watching the Sandwich Snobs are mouths were watering. We told the workers we had seen the episode and we talked about it a little. Sandwiches were amazing and had great flavor. Thank you for the great hospitality and great food!

This is a cozy casual lunch spot with high-quality sandwiches and a friendly vibe. I really enjoyed my avocado toast today with baking cranberries sprouts and other deliciousness. Highly recommend! I'm giving the atmosphere three stars because it's super casual.

Top five best sandwiches we’ve ever had! So good. Went three times this week. EVERYONE is so friendly and it’s just such a happy place. If I lived here I’d probably visit weekly (multiple times!). Def check out if nearby.

Awesome local sandwich shop tucked away in an unassuming business park. The lunch spot is absolutely worth visiting when you’re in the palm desert area. Top notch menu items, with friendly staff and standard pricing. Massive portion as you can see in the picture! This is #1 Ashlee’s Choice. Evan made this Sandwhich, and all I can say is wow. Best BLT concept I’ve had in years.

Sandwiches were fresh and tasty. Bread was excellent! We had a pastrami bomb sandwich and a turkey avocado sandwich. Both were nice sized and really good. Nice selection of chips. Very popular place. Very friendly staff and always checked to make sure everything was good. Will definitely be back.

Visiting from out of town and stopped in here for lunch based on the excellent Google Maps reviews. So glad we did! Got the jalapeño bomb sandwich hot (panini-style) and both my wife and I loved it. Also tried the dill pickle pasta salad which was surprisingly refreshing. Kids got the ham & cheese toasted which they said was great. Everything was so good we came back the next day and got the same thing, plus a spicy Italian sandwich! Service was good and the owners were very personable. Tried to convince them to open a location closer to where we live!
