Who in their right mind would drive two hours and 21 minutes west for a sandwich shop? Anyone who's sampled the Lemony Grilled Halloumi Toast. Seriously. We're still fantasizing about this unbelievably tasty concoction. A huge, salty swath of halloumi cheese (for those unfamilar, it's a softer, fattier, more nutty-tasting take on feta) is grilled open-face on a buttered baguette, with pieces of Spanish preserved lemon (salty lemon pickles…) hidden beneath the melted cheese, then drizzled with bracing, floral Sicilian lemon oil for good measure. Pure heaven.

The quirky sandwich shop also does a mean Sunday brunch, with delightfully creamy soft-boiled eggs, French toast, and a "Daily Chocolate Sandwich."
