LUNCH Sandwich Shop
The bread is a 10. That's the actual review quote, and it's the whole story: fresh-baked daily, paired with authentic Tuscan ingredients and owner Lisa's genuine warmth toward every customer who walks in. This is a small counter in a student neighborhood (Tulane and Loyola regulars orbit it like a planet) that executes one thing perfectly and doesn't apologize for the limited seating or the wait during lunch rush. The portions are huge. The consistency is relentless.
Pro tip: Go off-peak if you want to sit and eat instead of stand. The owner's attention level is high enough that she'll remember you if you come back, which people do.
