I just wanted to compliment Third Avenue Cafe on the taste of their food. Their tomato basil soup is delicious (although I personally wish it wasn't creamy, but sometimes I just can't resist), they have a really good grilled cheese (and they will add avocado if you ask them), and their vegan blt is delicious!
I went there for dinner today and decided to try something different. I had never had their "cardinal club" sandwich, so I decided to give it a try. Hey, a club sandwich is always good, right? This one was very good. It had turkey, american cheese, swiss cheese, wonderfully flavorful tomatoes, and tempeh ("soy bacon" substituted for regular bacon). (Even after taking off the american cheese, lettuce, 3rd piece of bread, and scraping off the mayo), it was really one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time.
Also feeling crazy, I ordered the homemade cajun potato chips to go with it. They were addictive!
Of course, my daughter had the black bean and tofu burrito, which is her absolute favorite. And, we shared an appetizer of Jamaican Hummus, which seems to be made from red beans instead of chickpeas. It comes with pita wedges coated with black and white sesame seeds.
We really like the food at this funky, local place.
We also had a really good server today, Jamel.
