Chachi’s Sandwich Bar

Honestly… nothing to write home about. You could get the same sanwich experience at Subway and save money at the same time.

This is a wonderful place to grab and go! However, I prefer to come here because it is tucked away from the busy catacombs of the plus 15. Regardless of time of day, you can get away from the crowded sea of humanity and noise of the plus 15 or down town restaurants and not have to line up too long to get something.
Because it is off the beaten path it is a surprisingly great place to have a conversation with someone because it is relatively quiet. I have rarely seen the table full here, even during the lunch rush.
The sandwiches are wonderful and reasonably priced. For $ 6.95 I can get a short Italian sandwich that is both satisfying and filling. They also have a great Mac n’ Cheese for the same price (large, small is $ 3.95 I think) that is also delicious and generous in proportion.
I seem to keep coming back regularly!

Work has been ridiculously busy for me this week and especially today when I have started my first day of quitting smoking, yay me! I’ve been passing by Chachi’s for months now but haven’t had the urge to step food into the place to see what it was all about. I guess you could say it is more of a gourmet-​esque Subway/Quizno’s. I don’t have much time for lunch today so I went there to grab a sub.
I didn’t know you could customize your own sub, they have little clipboards where you can go through and choose everything from breads, spreads and the things that go in between. I think this is a cool idea and lets you really customize what they have to offer you and that in my books is pretty dope.
This is a really small place but you’re greeted by the cutest older Asian lady with her sandwich makers, I especially love when people are friendly and acknowledge you as soon as you walk through the entrance of the place.
I grabbed a Chicken and Havarti on Wholewheat Bread which consisted of Chicken Breast, Havarti Cheese, Basil Pesto, Dijon, Red Onions, Lettuce and Tomatoes. My overall thought was that it tasted good but not great. I mean, I’m not too sure what it is lacking but it tastes a little bland right off the bat to me. However, the size of the sub makes up for it totally because eating half of it just a few moments ago I am totally stuffed and can probably save the rest for dinner. Price for my sub was $ 9.98, including GST.
If I’m in a rush, need a quick place to have a sub that is in my building I’ll definitely come by here again and try out something new.
