The Crunchy Pickle

The REAL pop! Omgoodness I loved the Pop! I will come for just that. I got the Bruno, my daughter got the Aurora, both were delicious, fresh. Cannot wait to explore your other selections of sandwiches.

My husband and I visited for a lunch date one afternoon. I've been wanting to try a "pickle sandwich" forever! I had my Joe on a pickle, my husband had the Chickle. My pickle sandwich didn't disappoint, however, it was extremely messy. Next time I'll get my pickle on the side. My husband said his Chickle was very good. Cute place in downtown Howell. Service was kinda slow, but we had the time. I wish they had more indoor seating. It filled up very quickly and folks were waiting for tables to be available. Glad we got there before the rush! Happy I finally got to try a pickle sandwich! Bucket list item checked off!

This was an adorable spot that was on my come back and try list since I saw it this fall at the Sunday farmer's market. I especially wanted to come here to try their gourmet sodas. There has been a lot of hype about those soda shops out West that do different pop combinations and we wanted to try some. I finally found a place here in Michigan, which was not easy. My child and I both got the hipster. It was Dr. Pepper with several syrups and a cold cream foam. It was very good and refreshing. They have so many combinations. I typically drink diet coke, so next time I visit, I will try a diet version, but I wanted to try some sort of dirty Dr. Pepper rendition. It is a cute tiny shop with a few tables. Their sandwiches do look very good and their pickle dip sounds amazing. We love pickles. I know this is a tiny small business, but I feel like a gourmet soda shop might work in other locations. I think people in Michigan would be open to having this type of place in the marketplace, in case the people who own this shop are looking to expand.

I really like the crunchy pickle for a quick lunch. Their sandwiches are made with select deli meats like prosciutto, mortadella, salami, pepperoni, and more. I also tried their charcuterie box for 1 and loved it, especially the dill dip. I need to try a panini next.I also love their soda mixed drinks. I tried the watermelon with cucumber, but would modify it use sprite in the future instead of bubbly water. I'm just not a bubbly water fan. I also have tried out the btterbeer with coke, and it was divine!

This place was recommended to my friend and we went here for a late lunch. The place was decorated super cutely for October and the service was great! We loved the concept for the menu items. I ordered The Joe and The Mean girl while my friend had The Carmella with a side of balsamic dressing and Hot Girl. If you are a meat lover like me you will really enjoy The Joe, it was thick and packed with meat. My friend also enjoyed her meal especially the not too sweet peachy drink. I really enjoyed the cream, cherry, and lime combination which I've never had before. Overall, great place but certainly on the pricier side compared to other places.

A fantastic family run sandwich shop specializing in gourmet Italian sandwiches,Italian sodas and Gelato.Each sandwich is made to order and the staff is super friendly.They offer about 12 different sandwiches served on Artisan bread. A Gluten Free option is available.I ordered The Joe which had Pepperoni,Spicey Capicola,Prosciutto,Sun Dried Tomato cream,sliced mozzarella and a spring mix. Absolutely fantastic! Fresh,flavorful and lots of meat.My daughter's family is friends with the owner and they even made a gourmet soda just for me..the Choco Papa which was Coke,Chocolate syrup and Cherry syrup..delicious. brought back memories of my childhood! THANK YOU!When in Historic Downtown Howell after shopping in the quant shops,stop in and give The Crunchy Pickle a try...you will not be disappointed! I can't wait to try another sandwich!

You'll be greeted with a smile here and the care shown is evident in every delicious sandwich and freshly made unique beverage. The owner is very hands on and doesn't skimp on the quality ingredients . There are a few chairs but take your sandwich to go and enjoy a picnic in charming downtown Howell. Then go back to try some of their yummy desserts or one of the great flavors of gelato. You won't be disappointed.#shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness

Just stumbled on to this gem. Yum, what a delicious lunch! Sofia Panini and Bougee soda. Sprite, cherry lime juice, lime and some other yummy to wash down the large Panini. My lunchmate had the cup of soup and a half panini. Too much to finish. Cute little shop, naked brick work and tables outside, in the Alley of downtown Howell, as well as out on State street. Service was good. Will definitely return!

Soooooo tasty!!! Highly recommend this place, all the sandwiches looked amazing and The Joe was exactly what I wanted in a sandwich. The pictures don't do it justice because it was big with lots of meat. Very friendly people people and great atmosphere. Give them a visit!

I pretty much stopped writing reviews but sometimes I just have to with some places that seem extra special! I'm so excited this place opened as the sandwiches are to die for amazing & although it's not close to my house I don't mind driving 30mins knowing I'm getting something worth it!!You wouldn't ever see me ordering a sandwich or eating one outside my house because I've never found a place outside of Europe that makes sandwiches with fresh, simple & quality ingredients until now so I'm super excited for this place! This mom & pop sandwich shop got me wanting to stop by and try their sandwiches when I first saw their menu on Facebook and when they posted videos/photos of their various sandwiches. I was greeted when I walked in and even though I sort of knew what I was going to get ahead of time it took me a minute because I was still stuck between getting two different ones but I decided on the Carmella. Side note, the sandwiches are all named after family members and I believe maybe friends as well which is so fun! So about my sandwich The Carmella. She asked me if I wanted hard or soft bread which I wasn't expecting so I just said soft. My sandwich had prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes, olive oil & balsamic vinegar. I was a bit nervous with the tomatoes only because I'm super picky with them. If they aren't fresh they will be tasteless and gross so I almost did a minus tomatoes but I'm glad I didn't as they were perfect!! The bun also tasted nice and fresh, not to soft but just enough! I sat outside the store on a bench as the weather was beautiful and really enjoyed my sandwich which was so filling I could of really ate only half and saved the rest for later but did eat it all. The flavors all came together so wonderfully, it was such a good balance & I really enjoyed it! They also have a very creative drink menu of gourmet sodas I haven't seen anywhere else. Although I didn't try a drink I know when I'm back I will they all sound so good!! They also had 2 soups available, Chicken Noodle and Lemon Rice I believe they were. There was also a ice cream section and I totally forgot to see what desserts they had today but I heard they use someone local to make them which is a huge plus in my book!! There's nowhere to actually eat inside as with tables but while you wait for your sandwich to be made there's plenty of seating. They do have a bench right outside their door and also all around outside there's lots on nice areas to sit, they even had a small table in the cute alley behind the shop I totally forgot to take a photo of but it's right under their sign above the door. I know this place has been only open for a few months now so I wish them much success!! I'm very excited to support a local Michigan Made family business & can't wait to try another sandwich!!
