The best sandwich place in Des Moines. The bread alone is worthy of a visit to this place and add to that some fresh ingredients and awesome service and you have a perfect sandwich place.

Perhaps the best sandwich I’ve ever had. I’m visiting from Sioux Falls and am pleasantly surprised; I’ll be sure to add this to my list of local favorites.
