I discovered this place a long time ago and hadn't been there in since before the pandemic. My mistake!They have some of the absolute best sandwiches and prepared meals you're going to find in Austin. No joke!It's a casual little deli with not a ton of seating. Show up at lunchtime and you'll have a long line because the regulars know this place and come back often. The sandwich selection is nice and they'll customize any sandwich anyway you want it. I had one of the best chicken salad sandwiches I've ever eaten there today. There's a nice selection of breads and additions.They have all sorts of great prepared meals like chicken pot pie, King Ranch casserole. They also make really excellent empanadas. I brought home a chicken pot pie empanada to have for dinner today.Least I forget, there's incredible baking going on there. They have the best chocolate eclairs I've eaten in Austin. Many other homemade right there desserts. Unfortunately I don't eat sugar anymore, so I can just stare at them with desire. Try this little, hidden gem, you will not be sorry!

I have to come back and give this another review, because I wasn't able to take advantage of all of the deli style entrees and sides as I was on a quick lunch break. They had a huge selection of delicious looking foods and sweets that were begging to be ordered. However, this review is based off of my order for my recent visit. I ordered a whole J.C. Special sandwich and it was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and I loved the basil vinaigrette. My only complaint is that just the sandwich without a drink or chips was $11! $7.50 for half of the sandwich! These prices seem very steep for what is basically a grilled cheese sandwich without any kind of side. The service was fast and they were very friendly and the cafe itself is super cute with lots of light. Great spot for lunch with a friend!Like I said, I wasn't able to try any of the many deli style options, which seemed to be priced more accordingly. Their website reflects their old pricing which was $4.50/$8 for a sandwich, and seems more reasonable. I will be back to give it another shot, but as for the $11 sandwich, it's four stars for me.

- insane-wich (5 stars)- cucumber dill salad (5 stars)- black bean salad (3 stars)- Scott salad (2 stars)- gazpacho (5 stars)When navigating to Food! Food! with Google/Apple maps, I always turn the sound on so I can get the robo-voice exclaim "Food! Food!" It gets me every time.This place is great for buying picnic supplies. Everything on the menu is delicious (except the Scott salad) and highly portable.

Great service, Good food! We love coming here after school to pick up dinner for the kids.

I recently visited here on a Friday afternoon when looking for a quick bite to eat near my apartment. This place was a quick five minutes away and I have noticed that several times when I visited the Randalls here.I was a bit hesitant because of the poor reviews, but it was close and you seem like a pretty quick option. When we walked in it took a couple minutes for anyone to say anything at the counter, but once they did they were pretty friendly. The place was extremely dead and the vibe in here was just really poor. The food looked all right, but they had a lot of sandwich options. I ended up going with a tuna melt and a pecan bar and I was extremely satisfied. For my two items I paid $15 and I thought this was a fair price to pay. If I were dating just for the food I would give it a five star, however it was the other factors that dragged down the rating.

The cheese crackers here are my favorite staple that they always have. The pesto salad is another good go-to, while the other dishes rotate in and out. It definitely leans more towards healthy prepared foods, so be aware of that when ordering. For example: the spinach and cheese tamale I got appeared to be 90% spinach, with very little cheese. I like that they have prepared foods, to order sandwiches, and premade dishes you can take home and bake yourself. It's a great blend of all possible needs. When I visit I normally get a larger bake casserole, something to eat then, and a treat. You pay a little extra over what you could make it for yourself, but that makes complete sense, given their prep work. I would not stop there every day, as a result, but it's a nice treat from time to time, particularly if you're feeling under the weather and want comfort food but don't have the energy to bake it yourself.

Six months ago I ordered a tuna salad sandwich "with everything." It was wonderful, packed with tuna salad, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, pickles, onions, etc.Today I ordered the same. The man behind the plexiglass just repeated "lettuce and tomato," and that's all I got on my tuna salad sandwich. The tuna salad did not even cover all of the surface of the bread. Disappointing.

I could have gone to HEB and fed half the homelessIn Austin in the time it takes for them to make a sandwich. It took them 50minutes to make 2 sandwiches and it wasn't even busy. I would give this place 0 stars for service if I could.

Got a gluten free Turkey bacon club which was super delicious! The price is a bit high (~$18) and it isn't the quickest. But overall good experience.

The new owners have brought in a new baker and this one is killing it! The new cakes have such a high quality. The service has been so great recently.
