It’s In the Special Sauce
My favorite thing about The Acoustic is their sandwich sauce, crafted with a blend of select spices and 100% pure olive oil. 🍞🌿
They roast their own coffee beans on-site, and their bread is freshly baked from scratch daily.

Okay, I must confess: l love me some Acoustic Cafe hoagies. 😻
