Will probably try the faux bacon sandwich next time, sounds good.
Had the chicken schnitzel. Was a bit pricey for the size but it was quite tasty. I mean it's Park Avenue but 11.40 for it was a little much.
Speaking of prices, I asked her how much the Orangina was and she said she thought 2 or 2.20. She said in a surprised mood that it was 3 bucks.
For others complaining about the juice prices. It is cold pressed and you'll see way more overpriced in other places.
2.8, I'd give it more of a 3.5/3.6 if it was 2 or so bucks cheaper.
Came here for take-out lunch today after my boss suggested it and was in the mood for their schnitzel sandwich. Immediately upon laying my eyes on their menu, I knew that their grilled cheese sandwich had to be mine.
Their grilled cheese sandwich comes with aged cheddar, a black truffle spread, grilled asparagus and their house spread assembled and grilled/pressed in sliced sourdough bread.
I love aged cheddar (or frankly, any kind of cheese – yes, even the stinky ones), truffles (black and white) and sourdough is easily my favorite bread (unless we're counting cheesebreads cuz then…well…yeahhh…). I asked for no asparagus because, well, I don't like asparagus, nor do I care for it.
My sandwich was delicious, well melted and my sourdough was crispy and flavorful. My boss' Schnitzel sandwich comes with white meat chicken, aleppo pickled roasted peppers, roasted garlic aioli and kaleslaw on toasted ciabatta. Yes, you read that correctly – KALESLAW. Spreads gets a Yelp star for creativity and another one for innovation.
The only 2 issues I have with this place are:
_______________________________________________
A.) With the exception of their breakfast sandwiches (which look absolutely scrumptious mind you), the sandwiches here seem to be overpriced for what they are. They aren't very big, thick or jam-packed. My grilled cheese sandwich was about $9 and the entire thing was the size of my (small-ish) hand and not very thin – we're talking maybe 2 slices of cheese at most (see pictured).
I assume I was paying for the black truffles – but considering that their sandwiches are all $9-14 can't they throw in a beverage and/or bag of chips? These things are cheap for them to provide, justify the pricey numbers and make for a well-rounded meal – which would increase repeat business rather than "gonna treat myself once in awhile" which is what this place is for me.
B.) For my boss' schnitzel sandwich and 2 grilled cheese (1 was mine and the other was my coworker's) we waited about a little over 10 minutes while other customers who ordered after us received their food first.
Perhaps grilled cheese sandwiches take a little more time when being pressed. This wasn't a big deal, but on a day where time is really of the essence and I need to make a run for my office during lunch, it could be a bit frustrating.

In all I'm between giving Spreads 3 or 4 Yelp stars but ultimately am going with 3. I do want to come here soon and try their Croissant & Egg Sandwich (over-easy, organic, cage-free egg, gruyere cheese and black truffle spread on a toasted balthazar croissant) because I think it sounds absolutely amazing – at almost $6 this sounds like a better priced and really decadent sounding breakfast treat…also, I'd like to learn what a "balthazar croissant" is. It sounds neat :).
The place is spacious, but there's not that much seating. Good thing that all their food doesn't take too long to eat, so I'm sure you'll find a seat when your order is ready. You can grab a menu at the end of the line before you go up to the cashier. Be wary that their salads are not really prepared when you order it — from the menu, it seems like it — but you have to pick it up from the fridge on the right hand side.
I ordered their weekly special of the apple wood roasted chicken sandwich with garlic aioli and mozz with roasted peppers and some good ol' delicious green basil. The sandwich was DELICIOUS!!! Ingredients were fresh and the sandwich was laid with the same tasty flavors in every bite. I was expecting a bit more from the "apple wood roasted chicken", but it really just tasted like grilled chicken with more moisture. If the chicken itself had more taste, this place would have been an awesome 5 stars! Service was nice 🙂 I'll come back to try some more of their sandwiches… and then coffee!
A small, trendy sandwich shop that stands out among the series of chains on South Park Ave. I tried their breakfast food (unfortunately, they have a weird breakfast gap so you can't order from the breakfast menu between 12pm-2pm) and I'd say it was very tasty. They have a bunch of different bagels and sandwiches that looked good as well. It's a major go-to for people, like me, working in the area for their lunch breaks.
I must say, this place is a little pricey for the kind of food they're serving- especially the on-the-go items off to the side. I honestly don't understand how a small bottle of juice costs $10…that's basically a price of a sandwich. Other than that, it gets a little cramped and there is not too much space for eating. It's really one of those grab and go types of restaurants.
Great artisan sandwiches
Chicken Schnitzel: a great well-balanced sandwich
– Thick chewy ciabatta
– Grilled chicken slices are the perfect size and it doesn't fall apart
– kale slaw is perfectly seasoned with jalapeño, texture of the slaw gives it crunch
– Pickled onions and peppers add the perfect acidic pop in every bite
– Roasted garlic Aeoli give an earthy creaminess
If you come here in the morning, you may often see workers preparing pre-made sandwiches to hand out during lunch. A pre-made sandwich just doesn't taste the same. Try and get a fresh one. The fish Torta is also really nice, the roast beef is solid too.
If I get breakfast it's usually from here because they pair their Croissant & Sunnyside Egg with a decadent black truffle spread. IT'S SO GOOD. I usually add this spread on to my Chicken Schnitzel. Beware of eating the spread around other people. Truffle imparts a very pungent aroma and it may stick to clothes (and your breath)

I think I've been in NYC too long as I now search for artisanal beverages & artisanal sandwiches. While along Park Ave S you have your basic chains: Cosi, Lenny's, McDonalds, Hale & Hearty.
I walked past this place for weeks before checking out the menu online. The name made me think they did bagels with diff types of spreads….very wrong.
Stopped in for breakfast & got the croissant & egg sandwich. Over-easy organic cage free egg + gruyere cheese + black truffle spread + toasted balthazar croissant…delicious.
I also had the cold brew & guess what? They have almond milk & agave!!!! Ugh winner!!!!
I would def go back, looking forward to trying the donuts!
Everything looks so good here! The only thing I've tried, and it's still been my favorite is the chicken schnitzel salad that you can grab from the frige. It's very convenient when I'm in a hurry, but everything smells so good in there. There's never a super long line, and they definitely move fast. One of my favorite lunch spots in the area.
The service in here is really really bad.
Ordered the bacon and egg breakfast brioche. The girl who took my order looked like she hated me. I asked for extra avocado and she told me that it already came with avocado, even though it wasn't listed on the board. I said "are you sure, it's not on the board". The reply: "yes, do you want double avocado or not?".
No smile.
I left with bun in hand, very excited to eat it. Only to find halfway down the street – no avocado.
So, I went back into the shop, expecting a quick apology and an insertion of avocado into my otherwise delightful bun.
"That'll be $1.50 please…"
Kinda expected this one to be on you, Spreads! I shouldn't have to check the contents of the sandwich halfway down the street to check what you've put in there…
And your girl serving the counter needs a new job. She clearly hates her current one.
Ironically the bun was really good!!
