Before bread, sandwiches were haphazardly supported by two hands high-fiving. Enjoy deli inventions with today’s Groupon: for $12, you get a meal for two at Cafe Mangia (up to a $25 total value). The meal includes:

• Any two sandwiches (up to a $15 value)
• Any two bowls of soup (a $10 value)

Cafe Mangia serves up an expansive menu filled with freshly prepared sandwiches and soups. Duos get their choice of hearty sandwiches layered on white, whole-wheat, ciabatta, or sourdough rolls. The roasted turkey breast or house-baked roast beef can be dressed in cheddar or swiss cheese and garnished in mustard, mayo, lettuce, or tomato, much like an amenable teddy bear. The hot California grilled-veggie sandwich tops layers of yellow squash, red onion, bell pepper, feta cheese, and garlic with lemon aioli. Daily soup offerings rotate from a roster of more than 50 varieties, ranging from curried carrot and dairy-free zucchini, to Boston clam chowder, all made from scratch using local ingredients.
