The Sweet Stop and Sandwich Shoppe — Restaurant in Preston

This is a must stop sandwich shop! If you're within 15 miles of the place... go out of your way to visit these fine folks and have the best lunch you'll find in SE MN.

This family owned sub shop has been a destination for us whether biking the root river trail or camping and too lazy to ride into town.. We always manage to stop for a made to order sub at least two or three times during our weekly trip.

The folks (Brenda and Mike) running the joint are classically trained in "Minnesota Nice" and are cool as hell! When PoPops asked for the SPAM special (only served on Sundays because the SPAM has to be prepared in advance) they gave us their card and told us to call ahead and they'd have one ready for us.

I'd like to tell you about all of the wonderful sandwiches we had but that'd take too long. So my personal favorite is the pepperoni melt on garlic and herb run through the panini press... truly awesome!

This is the cutest little yummy sandwich shoppe in SE MN. We went on a Sunday afternoon after a bike ride and the line was out the door - the owner (only one working at the time) was so cheery to each customer, even with the crowd. We had the homemade chicken salad which was so good!! You can choose toppings, in the same manner as subway - yet so much better!! Smoked cheeses like Gouda and provolone and a variety of breads - yum! You can also get a half sandwich and soup/ salad/ or dessert - all desserts are in a refrigerated case and you can help yourself. They have a wide variety of beverages where you can also help yourself to - including Spring Grove pops. The shoppe decor has a painted tin ceiling - just cute! You can eat inside and there are also a couple outdoor picnic tables with umbrellas. I can't wait to stop back! Lovely little place you have to visit, you won't be...

This little gem has some of the best deli style sandwiches around, especially in Preston. They have fresh, quality ingredients, but their bread makes the foundation of a great sandwich experience. Did I mention their bread? You will not be disappointed by the choices in bread, meats, or veggies. They also have a "daily sandwich " to help keep things diverse. Definitely worth a try, with a neat punch card system. Their only drawback is that they charge you extra for processing a crddit/debit card (find a new processor guys, and eat...
