I went and it was OK. I'm pretty sure it was comparatively speaking inexpensive so it should at least make the 'cheap' eats category ;)

Personally, I do not think it matches 'cheap' eats the way Lime or La Sandwicherie or Beach BBQ does. It's not ridiculously expensive, but it isn't cheap.

If their prices were actually as advertised on their website, I think it would, but every item is $2-$3 more than what is listed on their online menu.

I saw them putting up the sign over the weekend. I just don't understand how they can call their sandwiches the best in South Beach when they hadn't yet sold a single one? Seems like they've got the South Beach attitude down more than anything else. But I shall give them a shot. Cheap eats, you know? :D

The best sandwich proclamation is funny indeed :lol:

I got a sandwich to go from Cannelle today. It was really good. They must have just opened because in the back there are still signs for the previous business. I was served by the owner, who was very friendly and acommodating. It was before noon and there was only one other diner in there. I had the turkey sandwich on French bread with everything on it. Lots of meat and the veggies were very fresh. I didn't taste the house special dressing, though it was supposed to be on my sammy. I'll visit again, at least for delivery. The location is a sort of unfortunate spot with very little parking.

Great thread, Macboy.

There is a Naked Pizza opening up on the corner of 13th and Washington. Looks kind of interesting.

Nice running into both of you at that garbage dump better known as El Rancho Grande. :D

Cannelle update...

I'm sorry to say it, but Cannelle has jumped the shark. Pretty depressing after only being open a few months.

The bread is fresh... but they do not always have the ciabatta advertised on their menu. The other plus is the fresh juices. The orange, lime, grapefruit combo is deliciously refreshing!

Unfortunately, the positive points end there. The selections are regrettably boring. Sandwiches, salads and juices, but no unique ingredients. Not even any proscuitto or salami in sight. Special dressing? Still advertised, but still not present (though requested).

Moving on to the quality of the food, I was disappointed to taste white American cheese in lieu of the Provolone I had requested on my sammy. Upon further inspection, it was confirmed. Imposter!

The service is friendly enough but the time it took to receive my orders was not proportionate to the product I received. The inside of the restaurant looks clean in the front but the back and bathroom reveal a different story. It smells like mildew in there and the trash was full at noon - not a good sign as anyone who has worked in the restaurant industry can tell you.

One slice of turkey, a cheap piece of processed cheese, two slices of cucumber and too much mayo all sloppily strewn about make a good sandwich not. Especially when a delectable sounding list of toppings is advertised and requested.

I regret having to say such negative things about Cannelle, but I don't want TNL'ers to waste their time. I gave this casual cafe two chances but with abundant options in the area, I can't in good conscience give it any more.
