We stumbled upon this gem and we’re very glad we did. I had the Roma and we also got a chicken pesto and a veggie. All three were delicious and generous portions. We took half home and they were almost as good the second time around. If you’re in the area and you like sandwiches, give this place a try. View all feedback.

What Wilson Tsang dislikes about Lou's Cafe:
TLDR: honestly sandwiches here are a bit underwhelmingI got a pastrami sandwich from Lou’s and it came out quickly. The sandwich itself seemed very light on meat, compared to other sandwiches I’ve had in the past. The bread wasn’t very toasted so I didn’t get that delicious bite of fresh toasted bread. For almost $15, I expect a bit more meat and a tastier sandwich View all feedback.

They have the best pastrami brisket sandwiches, make sure to have their special sauce and jalapeño spread in it!!!

Stumbled across this cafe last weekend and just came back for the second time. Delicious sandwiches, very friendly service, great prices. LOVE the jalapeño spread. The owner was also kind enough to remake one of our sandwiches when I had mistakenly ordered the wrong bread. Thank you so much, we will be back!!!

Had a super delicious sandwich, and the big surprise was the clam chowder. I think it was the best I've ever had, and they serve it with cheese bread. Employees are super polite and prompt. Nice facilities. Prices are good. We'll be back for sure!
