Tucked away in Bay Village, this hole-in-the-wall gem of a corner sandwich shop does amazing things between two slices of bread. There are only eight options and they're all pretty perfect, but the hands-down favorite is the Breakfast Grilled Crack (fried egg, bacon and four kinds of cheese on sourdough). There's always a line but it moves quickly. No seating.
