We get sandwiches here quite often because they have a very interesting selection and they are very fresh. We have tried many including the Hippie, the Bohemian, the Henley and the Avacado Special. They were excellent. It's on the bike trail on route 124 in Harwich. They were voted best sandwich shop on the lower cape. Enjoy! And try the squash bread!l

Pros: delicious homemade sandwiches with several good vegetarian options; perfect location for those riding rail trail; picnic tables; nice people. Cons: slow service, no way to refill your water bottle, no bathroom.

Good coffee. Keep it fresh. Bakery items are ok. Baked goods are really delicious. Tea breads, brownies, etc. Miss the ice cream & walk window that our dear little local store has always has however. But it's a wonderful center of our area.

Great location, right off the bike trail and highway. Very convenient and has a huge variety of drinks and snacks. Both the sandwiches and bagels are very good. I would highly recommend this for breakfast!

Best sandwich on the go on Mid-Cape. Friendly crew that always remembers your name. Delicious variety of sandwiches and chips. It really hits the spot before a day exploring the rail trail!

I biked to this establishment in the morning to go to the general store but when I arrived, I was hungry and bought an onion bagel with egg, bacon, and cheese. This was by far one of the best breakfast sandwiches I had ever eaten. Better yet, the service was quick and friendly! This place must be visited if you are in the area.

A year-round breakfast and sandwich shop with a hint of old general store. Breakfast options are great, lunch sandwiches pretty good and generally nice staff. I miss the burrito bar from last year but I guess it was not profitable. Excellent soups in the colder months.

Delicious sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, and a cute little store. Perfect to hit before the beach and to pack a sandwich for later! We stopped here everyday of our vacation and haven't stopped talking about it since. Can't wait to stop back next summer!
