The Downtown location of this business seems to be aimed at customers who want their coffee to go. Inside are five stools and a small, simple table with two chairs. There is a limited sandwich menu. My friend Pete and I drank – and ate – at the table. We each got panini, compact sandwiches on a fine crusty bread and pressed.
I ordered the Panini Turkey ($7), which comes with sliced turkey, provolone, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and a pesto sauce.
Pete ordered the Panini Veggie ($6.50), which has havarti and provolone cheeses, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto.

We each ate one-half of our own sandwich and one-half of the other’s. We thoroughly enjoyed both.
To drink, I had a cup of cafe mocha ($3.20) which had a cumulus nimbus swirl of milk on the surface. Pete had a small can of sparkling clementine soda ($1.85).
And we liked the people watching.
