Tost Sandwich Café

The answer to your NYC deli dreams! Tost's second location has been long awaited, patrons won't see it in its final form just yet. The standalone building is on the edge of Tremont with a small parking lot in the back. The most striking decor so far is the loud black and white mural spanning the wall behind the deli counter. Otherwise, things are pretty bare bones, but fret not, as the sandwiches are impressive enough on their own. There are laminated menus at the register currently, and unless you're a regular of the original Tost, allow your hungry belly a few minutes of perusal time to browse the hefty sandwich list, the deli sides, and the dessert display. Each sandwich is loaded with protein (sometimes 3 different kinds), sauce, and capped with perfectly tost-ed bread. I was hoping to see more vegetarian options besides an obligatory veggie sandwich and a fancy grilled cheese, but for omnivores the meat is tasty and well-portioned. There was sort of a lukewarm reception from the staff, which may be just due to the fact that things are still getting settled in. Behind a row of industrial toasters and a wall is presumably the kitchen where the magic happens and killer sandwiches are born. Each sandwich comes with a pickle and packed to go. I noted a bit too late that there was only one thin napkin in my bag, and await the placement of more napkin dispensers and utensils in the store. Prices are fairly reasonable for a meal-worthy sandwich. I couldn't pass up getting a brownie for dessert, and it is definitely worth the splurge if you love fudgy brownies. The remaining square footage is to be filled with fridges of prepackaged goods and racks of condiments for sale so you can create your own perfect picnic. Dining in is limited to some wall counter space for standing or to squeeze a young one into one of their high chairs. And possibly stools in the future.

I was excited to try out a new local shop in Tremont that has been under construction for several months now! I had previously reviewed the menu online and Yelp images from their Lakewood location to decide on ordering the Holy Schmoly sandwich along with one of their special dips. The dips come in three different sizes, each one with varying prices. I had selected their bang bang shrimp, but it was definitely a tough choice! The prices are a bit higher on sandwiches, but I think they're reasonable for the dips! All together I spent $20The food is great, with many flavors, and although I took my order to go I sat in the dine in area for several minutes waiting for my order and it was very clean with plenty of seating! The only reason why this is not a 5 star review is because the employees working seemed to have an attitude with not only me, but several other customers both in person and over the phone. Unsure if I will be back due to the poor customer service, but if you're willing to overlook that, then you are probably going to love it!

Great sammies, sides and desserts! You won't go wrong with any sandwich, but I'm partial to the Birdcage!

Went there for first time, chatted with proprietor while sandwich being made. She was very nice, place was clean, had some grocery items which is good to know, since nothing really in Tremont for that. Took the Prime Time to go and it was awesome, always love a fresh pickle with my sandwiches. Had the three bean salad as my side and it was very tasty. I will be back great new spot in Tremont!!

Never open when they say they are online. Be prepared to head over during lunch just to have the lights out and no one in.

This place just opened in Tremont and is off to a great start. The food was great and served quickly, which was a surprise since it was their first day being opened (I am writing this review late). The ice cream is also very good.
