Very good sandwiches! A favorite in heart of financial district for an on-the-go professional without a lot of time.

Excellent veggie sandwich options. The quality and quantity of their sandwiches is very generous. The girl who works at the Pine St location is a superstar. I arrived with at least 12-15 other people around the same time and she was on top of her gametaking orders and assisting the other two much slower employees with making the sandwiches as well. Wish I had asked her namebut she was too busy and I did not want to be inconsiderate. Next time :

Lou's Cafe didn't meet my expectations. While the sauces and bread were decent, the protein was bland, which really affected the overall experience. Considering the wait time and the sandwich size, I would rate it between 2.5 to 3 stars.

The food here is excellent! I believe the secret lies in the spreads they use. However, be prepared for long lines and a lengthy wait for your meal. They've recently changed their ordering system, which has led to even more confusion. I highly recommend ordering ahead if you can. I've tried many different sandwiches here, and they have all been fantastic.

The sandwiches here are incredibly delicious and very generous in size—you'll definitely leave feeling full. While I'm not typically a fan of the meat sandwiches, as I find them to be a bit overwhelming, the crab melt is an absolute must-try!
