I was out with Laurie, Beth, and Vickie. It was well after lunch time and we were looking for a place to eat. Laurie and Beth like to pick up loaves of bread at Union Loafers, so we decided to eat lunch there. The problem is...by 2 p.m. they are out of many of their lunch items and almost all of their loaves of bread that are for sale.
Laurie and I got a salami and cheese sandwiches. They were on a focaccia bread that was good. The problem was that there just wasn't enough salami and cheese. It also had some banana peppers. That helped, but it could have used some lettuce, onion, mayo, more salami, etc.
I also ordered a "orange vanilla" soda drink. It was listed as one of their specialty drinks. I didn't like it. It was like a bit of orange juice with seltzer water. I didn't taste the vanilla and the seltzer taste was kind of overwhelming.
Beth got a chicken and bacon sandwich and Vickie got a chicken salad sandwich. Their sandwiches had more "stuff" on them and looked better than Laurie's and mine. Beth also ordered one of their homemade pretzels. It was very good. It comes with whipped butter and whole grain mustard. I don't like mustard, so I tried it with the butter. It was a nice pretzel. It was very crunchy on the outside and the flaked salt was nice.
They must have a thing with salt because Beth also ordered a couple choc. chip cookies. She said the surprising thing they do is finish them with salt on the top. The one we got just didn't have much salt on it, so you couldn't really taste that contrast. Beth was disappointed. It was a good cookie, though. The choc. chips were super melty and the cookie was soft.
I wasn't super impressed with this place. I know I won't ever drive 45 minutes for a loaf of bread, so it is not like I'll be here very often. It was nice to try once and because I was with my friends, it is always a good time.
