“ Great unique flavor, wonderful service and relaxed atmosphere with an outdoor space. The grilled steak sandwich and California wrap are the best along with sweet potato fries. ”
“ Best sandwiches ever!!! Everything is so good, and people are very nice. I never stop thinking abt the sandwiches! ”
“ Lots of variety here and I know that the neighborhood loves it! I struggle as a dairy free person to find an abundance of options but I know that they do their best to accommodate folks with restrictions. My only issue is that they are frequently busy/understaffed which leads to long waits. ”
“ A personal favorite of mine, everything I've tried on the menu whether for breakfast or lunch is great. Breakfast burrito and breakfast bahn mi (get it on a French roll over the bagel) are both top notch. As for lunch, the Asian fried chicken sandwich, the steak and cheese, the traditional bahn mi (I get mine with chicken and a fried egg on top), the chili chicken burrito, and the cubano are all great choices. The soups are always homemade and excellent too. Homemade smoothies and desserts round out the menu. Service is great and it's a cool atmosphere to hang out and eat with an outdoor patio out back when the weather cooperates. Highly recommend ”
“ A hand-made sandwich I ordered a Caesar's Palace sandwich and then waited for about 20 minutes. What was taking so long? I found out when the sandwich arrived. The chicken was just cooked, and the bacon was warm and crispy. A green piece of Romaine lettuce and a bright, red tomato peaked out of the pile. The advertised avocado was clearly included. All of these ingredients were topped with lightly toasted The Iggy's bread. I learned that the chef was the owner; the young man who took my order was patient and pleasant as I tried to decide among the many tempting menu items. ”
“ Top tier breakfast sandwiches and nice ambiance to do work. They don't have wifi, but they have a sweet backyard patio. ”
“ I got the breakfast burrito with some add-ins and it was really good. The salsa verde on the side was excellent. I would try anything else on the menu, very good food and service. ”
“ Stopped in Dash cafe for lunch with a couple of co-workers on a Thursday. It wasn't very busy with eat in customers, but their phone was ringing off the hook with take out orders. I made my own sandwich... they were out of tuna (that was my first choice) turkey with cheddar and chipotle aioli. Grilled to perfection and the chipotle aioli was delicious! I also got fries, they were good too! They also had salads and coffees. We will be returning! ”
“ Came here right at 8:00 a.m. on a Monday morning right when they open. the lady who greeted me said hi but she did not look particularly too happy It is a pretty lively and colorful cafe. Got loud music playing. it did take a while to make the banh mi. I assume it is fresh. Looks like they were setting up as well. I grew up during an era where banh mi cost 2 to $3 before it got super popular. These days they can run anywhere from $6-8 depending on where you buy it. It costs $11 here, but not too surprised by it based on the location. Saw good reviews on Google and yelp. So figure out give it a shot since I'm in the area For a cafe , they did you have a sign saying no Wi-Fi which is odd and a loss opportunity After you order you can self serve yourself with some water on the side. Banh mi itself is small for the price. Bread was nicely toasted which I do like. It was cut and presented nicely. Pork does not have a lot flavor. Too much pickled veggies for my liking. Has jalapeno pepper instead of the Thai pepper which has more heat. It is also missing patte and the secret sauce that makes an authentic banh mi a banh mi. Overall banh mi is ok if you REALLY wanted one. You will find more authentic banh mi in Dorchester and Randolph. ”
