The best sandwich money can buy

by mats at Citysearch

I was so happy to discover this place. I had always dreamed of a place with crusty baguettes topped with a variety of delicious ingredients. I love the lemongrass steak and braised pork sandwiches. I would eat here every day if it was near my work. We need more places like this in Seattle!

Definitely Not a 5 Star Lunch Spot

by vmysmd at Citysearch

My wife and I went to the Baguette Box this past Saturday. I ordered the Tofu sandwich with Avocado; she ordered the Lamb sandwich. After waiting over 25 minutes our sandwiches were ready. Yes, it was the Summer Solstice Parade, but there were only 2 active orders in front of us (the 3 employees ran helter/skelter with no real order to what they were doing and/or cooking).

So we receive our food. The lamb was doused in the yogurt sauce, as if to put out a fire. The little lamb that was there was adequate, but the overall presentation of this sandwich and the associated mess it resulted in was unacceptable. My Tofu and avocado had 2 little slices of avocado I had to search for. Notably, we could have called these Bread Sandwiches with a bit of flavor, or more appropriately a Baguette with sauce!

I would strongly recommend going next door to PCC and eating Real, Healthy Food.

Try the Chorizo

by jtripper22 at Citysearch

I don't know why, but this sandwich sounded odd to me too before I tried it. Holy mole is it good. I dream about it. It's a full 12"ish chorizo (small diameter- so not overwhelming), and comes with caramelized onions, grilled peppers, and fresh cilantro. Man. I'm hungry. A friend and I often go around 2 and there is usually a place to sit (there is probably a total of 20 seats, and the food is great, so be prepared to battle for seating once in a while). Their beet salad is a wonderfully simple plate of sliced cooked beets with a drizzling of olive oil and fresh pepper. So yummy. The truffle fries are worth the $2 or $3 hike in price (compared to the non-truffle oil tossed) - if you've never had truffle fries, you will crave them frequently after you indulge. They offer Thai iced tea and/or red wine, as well as Cricket soda, orange/lemon pelligrino, or just a glass of water. Order at the counter and the food is brought out to you at lunch. I've never tried dinner, but would be eager to...it's nice to see they're open late on weekends. Parking can be a B so enjoy a stroll down from the Hill or up from downtown. It's dangerously close to both. Just save a spot for me, alright?

• Pros: such great food!
• Cons: not much seating/parking

mmmm... such good sandwiches

by irritatedatcustomerservic at Citysearch

The Baguette Box has amazing sandwiches. I would recommend the Braised Tofu Sandwich with Avocado and don't forget a side of Truffle Fries! Unfortunately, I am a vegetarian and most of their sandwiches have meat in them. Their space is really cool, kind spare art loft-y-ish. The staff are not the friendliest of people, but are never rude or anything like that. I highly recommend this place.

• Pros: amazing sandwiches, close to downtown, quick service
• Cons: indifferent staff, not a lot of vegetarian options
