I found this fine diner on my way to a near park and wow, I love this place. The chef loves Middletown NY, and I do too. And, like many in Middletown, he has a kind and charitable heart. His menu is broad and his diner has a gallery of beautiful and unique paintings.
So I have been driving past this place for months wanting to stop in and see what they had to offer. Today was the day I finally made it happen. This is a cozy little spot across the street from the Monhagen Vet in Middletown. It's a small eatery/art gallery which belongs to Joe and his significant other who happens to be the artist showcasing her beautiful art inside. Based on the menu, it appears to be an Italian inspired sandwich shop with delicious paninis made with homemade foccacia bread as well as hero bread that comes from Defillipis. The sandwich I decided on was the prosciutto and fig panini (with mixed greens and provolone) on the homemade foccacia. That bread was really tasty. The whole sandwich itself was too large for me to eat alone in one sitting. I love a salty and sweet sandwich and this checked all my culinary boxes. My only suggestion would be to swap out the mixed greens with some spicy arugula. That would have been a home run. Maybe a drizzle of balsamic glaze too just to cut some of that fig sweetness but otherwise it was really good. I also tried a guava and passionfruit smoothie which was also yummy. There is no added sweetener used so keep that in mind when ordering. I added some agave when I got home and my 2.5 year old and I enjoyed it on this hot day. Passionfruit and guava remind me of my trip to Costa Rica. It's so fresh and delicious. Try this place out. You won't regret it. They also have ice cream and coffee (iced or hot). I also noticed there was a special written up on a board. I believe it was a hero sandwich with 2 meats for $5. I could be wrong. My sandwich was $15 and my smoothie was $5. Maybe a little pricey but definitely enough to feed two people and not be starving afterwards. I'll be back to try something else soon! Thanks Joe and good luck with everything!
Excellent family friendly place to get a delicious gourmet sandwich at a reasonable price. If you like value you will love this place.

If you are in the area it's a must stop! We had two sandwiches and they were AMAZING! All fresh ingredients and the owner even makes his own fochia bread! Some of the best sandwiches we've had! Owner was super friendly as well!
I've visited this location 3 times now. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming. The cookies and cream ice cream was great! I also had the chicken Caesar BLT wrap and it was very delicious and you get a good amount for what you pay. Will definitely be visiting again.
