Daniel's Cheese and Deli supplements a selection of imported and locally sourced cheeses with a menu of housemade gourmet deli fare. The deli pros guide palates through a lineup of 10 different kinds of aged Canadian cheddars sliced thin to top off sandwiches or thick to provide a raft for river picnics. Helpful cheese experts can also help customers navigate an international collection of imported delicacies that include Spanish manchego, English stilton, and Swiss raclette. Patrons wrap mandibles around towering gourmet sandwiches such as a garlic-dip-slathered meatball sub or a grilled wrap stuffed with marinated steak strips. A collection of more than 16 healthy dips entice handmade chips to skinny-dip into mango-chipotle-garlic pools that boast low levels of both fat and cholesterol.

As its name implies, Veky’s International Cuisine serves up dishes from around the globe, including schnitzels, housemade stuffed sweet peppers, and Atlantic dill salmon. A bakery case of LaRocca cakes offers rich European chocolates and fresh fruits. The eatery’s 13-minute express lunch menu includes fresh meals guaranteed ready in less than 13 minutes or the staff will travel back in time to meet the deadline.

The cooks at Fresh Sandwich Shop elevate the simple combination of meat, cheese, and bread by making several of their ingredients in-house, from concocting their own sauces and vinaigrettes to curing their own salmon onsite. This attention to detail yields creations such as a club sandwich that combines pulled pork with bacon, chicken, caramelized onions, barbecue sauce, and roasted garlic mayonnaise, or the shaved striploin sandwich with provolone, red onion, roasted red peppers, and roasted-red-pepper sauce.

Though Fresh Sandwich Shop is an ideal spot to stop in for a quick bite, cup of organic coffee, or staring contest with an unwitting stranger, the eatery also caters meals. Patrons can build their own sandwiches from spreads of smoked ham, pulled pork, or veggies with all the fixings, and nosh on sides such as maple-glazed carrots or Guinness and aged-cheddar soup.
