Top spot for a sandwich to go, ahead of a cruise or hike. This cafe serves curb-sized creations like The Godfather – with hot Italian ham, salami, pepperoni and provolone cheese with salad, and hoagie sauce on ciabatta bread. Other menu items include heaped salads, hot soups and macaroni sides. There's a simple dining room, for those wanting to eat in.
