amazing!!

by blmchicago

I have been here many, many times and everything is so good for a great price. How can you go wrong with amazing food: Sunday breakfast french toast, any sandwiches, the o so yummy monster cookie to fresh, soft loafs of bread. I love bringing out of towners here to get a taste of great neighborhood food!

• Pros: everything!
• Cons: only take cash or check

Forget Subway or Potbellys--this is a better deal!

by bbarranco

Sandwiches are fresh and delicious. Less expensive than both Subway and Potbellys and you get more food that is even better than either.

• Pros: Sandwiches, casual ambience, reasonable price
• Cons: Crowded at lunchtimes on weekends

Amazing sandwiches, Monster cookie a must!

by srmarie

Pollo Diablo is the best sandwich ever! Follow that with a Monster cookie you couldn't have a more perfect lunch! Panes is a cute sandwich shop with amazing fresh made breads and desserts. I order ahead and take my sandwich to go since it is usually busy and the few table do fill up fast. Panes may be busy but noisey it is not, very comfortable atmosphere. Can't wait for the sidewalk patio to open! The menu is pretty extensive for the size of the restaurant, and everything is so inexpensive. Definitely the best cafe in Lakeview, maybe even the city.

• Pros: Inexpensive, great menu
• Cons: A bit slow getting food but worth the wait

Colorful northside sandwich shop serves up toasted sandwiches to a faithful neighborhood crowd.

In Short
Welcoming and warm, this family-owned sandwich shop is a Lakeview staple. Sunny golden walls, lace curtains and Mexican arts and crafts give the compact space a comfortable, homey feel. Patrons line up--sometimes out the door--for toasted sandwiches, salads, appetizers and pizzas. Generously sized pasta dishes include baked mac and cheese and spicy penne. Homemade cookies and pastries are available for dessert.

One of my favorites. Try the goat cheese pizza! The sandwiches are also wonderful.
