For someone who eats out as much as I do, it takes quite a bit of offering to be pleasantly surprised.
On my way back from running a few afternoon errands, I had a real hankering for a sandwich. I thought about the usual suspects but for some reason decided to whip out my phone and search for a sandwich shop. Enter “Fresh Box Cafe”. Well not really because the GPS drew me to two large corporate looking buildings which left me scratching my head. I almost drove away but for some reason I decided to call in and find out. The lady who answered sounded surprisingly kind and welcoming. First good sign! The shop is located within the building with the “marksman” sign, on the first floor.
A few twists and turns, we were greeted by a chic entrance and we got inside this really cool, clean, well appointed, groovy sandwich shop! The minute I stepped in, I knew it was going to be good. There was quite a fast moving rush, and the two older ladies who helped me pick out my food were remarkably affable and sweet.
Picked out a Ruben - the damn thing was so enjoyable, probably one of the best Rueben’s I’ve had in ages! It was toasty, moist, beefy and with a generous serving of warm sauerkraut. You get a potato salad or chips with it.
I asked for a side of meatballs in a cup, it arrived with a bit of grated cheese on top - a real nice touch! The meatball and the sauce tasted absolutely divine - and fresh. What a pleasure!
Finished the meal with a sliver of cheesecake which was outstanding. As was the Cortadito which I simply had to get because, I’m a fan.
They have quite an extensive selection of lunch items and healthy salads as well.
A real hidden gem indeed, well worth making it your regular...
Read moreLove, love this place!! Whenever I come up to Broward for work, I always stop in here for food.
They have great fresh salads, soups and various sandwiches. They have pre-made salads and a salad bar where you tell them what you want and they fix it for you. You are charged by the pound and very inexpensive.
Today I had a navy bean soup that was delicious! I'd never had navy beans before and really wanted soup but not the traditional chicken noodle. Lisa was so awesome and allowed me to sample it first. Not to mention, it's like she read my mind and asked if I'd like some rice with it! Winner!!! I ate the soup so fast that I didn't get a chance to take a picture. It so was good that I tried to go back and get more but they'd sold out. Bummer!!!
I most certainly will be back here as I sometimes have to work out of our Broward office. If you're ever in the area, give it a try. You won't be...
Read moreI cannot say enough about this place. The daily menu is strong, and I have my favorite items- Paninis are excellent. An extra bonus is when they have unexpected surprise treats. As in- "When I woke up this morning, I had no idea that there would be a fresh pie or a homemade quiche in my future, but I'm so glad that I spontaneously bought one from Fresh Box." You can tell that their team is a family and they treat you like you are too. When you come in you are...
