Homegrown Capitol Hill Now Open

We hit some construction delays in our efforts to bring sustainable sandwiches to Capitol Hill. For a week or two there, it seemed that the municipal government was content with the sandwich landscape already flourishing on the hillside. But something has sprouted up at Melrose Market – a small leafy glimmer of hope and exposed brick between Pike and Pine. Our doors are finally open and we couldn’t be more pleased with how the space turned out!

It’s a tiny little shoebox of a sandwich shop but it will pack a big punch, sporting our full list of sandwiches, salads, soups and sides and come late-summer, dinner service and a drunken late night menu. Fried food aside, our new 12 seat outpost will truly be the baby of the family (and therefore will get whatever it wants, a new herb garden, you name it). There will actually be more seats outside (14) than inside, ideal for soaking up the sunshine while chasing a Turkey, Bacon + Avocado on wholegrain with an ice cold Seattle brew.

But it’s our new neighbors that really make the Capitol Hill spot special. In Ferry Building of San Francisco fashion, we’ll be joining The Calf & Kid, Sonic Boom Records, Still Liquor, Velouria Boutique, Sitka & Spruce, Marigold and Mint, Bar Ferdinand and Rain Shadow Meats in a dynamic harmony of artisanal foods, gifts and goodies.

Plus, we have some free Stumptown Coffee samples in there for you on this cloudy Monday!
