  12. chicken pesto panino ($6.25) is my favorite, sometimes I add goat cheese to it, it is delicious.
  13. My friend had a crepe with cinnamon and sugar while I had a lovely decorated cup of yogurt with fruits along with a delicious chai-tea, which came spicy and generously topped with whipped cream and honey.
  14. Yes, it was busy, all the tables were full (except the 5 tables waiting to be cleaned-- which were not cleaned the entire hour I was there) but I didn't see a single person with food in front of them.
  15. The sandwiches are decent and affordable-- but I recommend calling in your order at breakfast time if you're on a schedule-- or hungry.
  16. Panini Garden has been one of my favorite local sandwich shops for years.
  17. the food is good here -- I've had better panini, but it is good -- everytime I have gone there it has been crowded and I've had to wait quit.
  18. It's fresh tuna with whole artichokes, mozzarella, capers, caramelized onions with a touch of lemon.

Great sandwich, great patio.....

by hcstraub at Citysearch

We stopped in for lunch today, what a treat. We ordered a few chicken Pesto paninis and a greek salad....all of it was very good. But the back patio was the icing on the cake. The covered patio was perfect for lunch, a nice breeze and few birds.

We will be back for sure.

  • Pros: Great tasting food
  • Cons: none

Delicious breakfast along with a cute and cozy ambience

by doll83 at Citysearch

This cozy spot is fabulous for breakfast, brunch or even lunch. The menu offers a wide array of healthy and even organic food options like salads, soups, panini choices and sandwiches while crepe, diverse pastries and tasty snacks add an extra sweet touch to the menu. My friend had a crepe with cinnamon and sugar while I had a lovely decorated cup of yogurt with fruits along with a delicious chai-tea, which came spicy and generously topped with whipped cream and honey. The service was very friendly and lively.

  • Pros: Food, service
  • Cons: Restroom

Beautiful garden, friendly service

by brushtherain at Citysearch

Panini Garden has been one of my favorite local sandwich shops for years. The wild mushroom panini is always delicious and I am always greeted as a regular, even by new staff. On rare occasion the service is slow - if you're in a rush you could always phone in your order ahead. However the peaceful ambiance of the garden, long opening hours, free wi-fi and reasonably priced high-quality food more than make up the difference. Highly recommended

  • Pros: Fresh food, lovely outdoor garden, friendly service
  • Cons: Parking
