Di Bruno Bros. — Local services in Lower Merion Township

I shop at Di Bruno Bros. in Ardmore occasionally and have always found their staff to be kind and helpful, and many delicious foods (best baguettes anywhere in the area, IMHO) from Metropolitan Bakery in Philly). But today they went over the top in terms of kindness during such hard times. My AmEx gift card wasn't working on their machines and I didn't have the cash to cover the cost. And because I am disabled and suffering financially during this pandemic, I had not planned to use my debut card, but did. Matthew the cashier tried hard to get the card to work but it wouldn't. Tom, one of the managers, was trying to help, and he ended up paying for the baguettes (giving me the cash back) because he could see I was flustered and overwhelmed. I was so blown away by their over-the-top kindness today, and I am also going to find a way to "pay it forward" when I am able. I also plan to get in there soon to purchase more delicious foods when I can afford it and I suggest everyone reward their kindness by purchasing a little something from them over the holidays and showing similar kindnesses to people in need. Thank you so, so much,...

Dibruno Bros in the Ardmore Farmers Market, Ardmore, PA. This is a rich person's Cheesesteak and it is good to be a rich person.

Then tell them they need to get good grades in school so they can get a good job so they can live near Ardmore Farmers Market and eat DiBruno Bros cheesesteaks all the time. The DB Cheesesteak (copied and pasted from their website) Ribeye steak • cooper’s sharp cheddar • DB abbruzze cheese spread • provolone • fried onion • cherry peppers • hoagie roll. It is maximum superata omnia. It does have rich people problems; 1. Small plate portion. 2. The roll is awesome but too big for this amount of meat. The good news is the small portion leaves plenty of room for the chocolate chip cookie whoopie pie from the bakery...

My wife was excited to have an Italian sandwich for Mother’s Day as we had always associated Di Bruno’s with quality. It had been a year or so since we last had a Di Bruno sandwich, but, we remember beautiful cornucopia of meat, veggies and cheese that was so plentiful it was difficult to close the bread around it. You can imagine our disappointment when we found the skimpiest, saddest sandwich, esp at $16 per sandwich. I would be curious if the quality differs from the location downtown? We would be embarrassed to recommend this place.

**UPDATE: I was contacted by the owner who very courteously offered replacement sandwiches for my wife and I, which we were very...
