Caffe Etc

Now let's talk about BAD sandwiches. A subject that I'm really not into, but right now, all I've got it to talk about BAD sandwiches. Capitols necessary.

So, there's this cafe near right where I used to work called Caffe Etc. Let's first talk about this name. Like, what is that? caffe? Is Etc taken? Or can you not spring for Ettc? Because that makes more sense. But no, Caffe Etc it is.

So I find myself back at this hollywood spot for a meeting, and think, hey, it's on the list, I might as well blog about it? And for some reason I remember looking back on the food we ordered from this place and thinking, wow this is freaking delicious. Maybe it's because I always got breakfast or a salad, but today I went for one of the things they're "famous" for which is a sandwich.

Now, let's just say, this sandwich reminded me of that relationship I had junior year of college with some frat guy named David. I don't know how I ended up in it, I don't know how it lasted so long but I sure remember how it ended. I called him up and said "hey, i'm going to marry my best friend on facebook." then my phone "broke" two days later, I lost all my numbers and never spoke to him again. That's how I feel about this sandwich.

I got a sundried tomato, basil, pesto and  mozzarella sandwich. It might as well have been a serving of sundried tomato with a side of everything else, because I had to pick out a freaking farm of sundried tomatos off of my bread. And then lets talk about their sides, through some lettuce bits next to your 8 tomatos (sundried) and through a sprinkling of dressing on it. Sorry, does my disdain shine through?

Mr. Darcy, you are far to be found from this cafe. I wouldn't even get you the category of a Mr. Collins because at least he made Charlotte Lucas happy. Is their a category for Mrs. Bennet's first suitor? Cause I think this cafe would be his brother.

Their coffee tasted pretty good to me, their service was friendly, so you know, you don't get a D- but just because you're super sweet doesn't give you a passing grade.

So let's so where this one ranks shall we:


1. All About the Bread
2. Greenblatts
3. Veggie Grill
4. Simple Things
5. Birds
6. Fat Dog
7. Caffe Etc.
