The Cellar

This is an excellent salad and sandwich shop. Everything is made to order — pick your ingredients for any salad combination you want or pick one off the menu. Choose from any of the wide variety of sandwiches of different types… The sandwich ingredients are really top notch — order a Tuscan chicken sandwich and the chicken is cooked to order and chopped up for your sandwich. Yeah, crazy.
Everything my group has ordered has always been great, the Roast Beefin sub is great with lots of rare beef, the Reuben is a real stand out. I like the San Francisco wrap. For salads, I like the Southwestern, though I need to remember to order it without the tortilla chips since they get soggy when I eat the leftovers, and you will have left overs.
There is a price to pay for all this goodness, though it isn’t the actual price which is pretty good, it is the time. I’m a «it’s 2 pm and I need to eat lunch right now» kind of guy, and the Cellar doesn’t work for that. It generally takes 20 – 40 minutes to prepare your order, so order ahead of time, either for pick up or delivery.

They have the best egg sandwich in the Albany area. The bread is always fresh and really hits the spot. They make the eggs however you want. The café sandwiches are all really good. They have a signature panini press that adds a nice crunch to all the food. Try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been here 4 times in the last week and a half and am about to walk up again. The food is killer, the prices you can’t beat, and to top everything off the owners are some of the friendliest people I’ve met since moving here. Do yourself a favor and get here now. And get a mango smoothie… seriously.
