“The freshness of the of the ingredients makes each bite even better.”
“Had the "Poached" sandwich – melted mozzarella cheese, tomato, avocado spread, poached eggs and hollandaise – and it was amazingly delicious.”

The other day an employee from poached came into where I work and dropped off some samples of a variety of the different sandwiches they offer. (Thank You Poached!) I really enjoyed a few of them so I decided to order from them today for lunch with a few coworkers.
Poached offers sandwiches, salads, soups, quiches, homemade sweets like cookies and brownies. I really like that they try to add a health conscience feel to your meal, makes it a little easier to indulge knowing its with quality ingredients.
I decided on the make your own sandwich option for $5.75. They offer you a choice of different breads, spreads, meats, veggies and cheeses. (certain add on items cost extra) I ordered the croissant with roast beef, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise and lettuce. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. My sandwich came with a deli pickle that was delish as well. My only issue was that the croissant was a little bit greasy but I just wrapped a napkin around it to sop up some of the extra greasy and ta-da problem solved.
I have heard from my coworkers that their poached eggs are fabulous and make any sandwich they are added to decadent. I will definitely be having my first poached egg experience here and will return with an updated review.
Why did it take me so long to try this place? It's been around for a while and I work only a few doors down. I'm kicking myself for not eating here sooner!
If you like Patisserie Florentine, you'll love this place too – it's owned by the same guy. They use the freshest ingredients and everything is made from scratch.
Don't like what's on the menu? Pick your favorite ingredients and you can personalize your own salad or sandwich. Prices aren't too bad for what you get either!
I tried the Greek sandwich on sourdough bread which had fresh sliced Swiss cheese, marinated mushrooms, fresh spinach, kalamata spread and, get this, zucchini pickles! It was definitely tasty, but I think I'll order the make your own sandwich next time.
More of a grab-and-go spot since inside seating is scarce, but if it's a nice day they've got a handful of tables outside too.
The service was great. The guy who made my sandwich (I believe his name was Mayer?) was super warm and welcoming. It was the cherry on top of the…croissant?
In closing: if you're in Englewood and looking for a quick lunch, Poached is your place!
First, the smell of the croissants when you walk in is heavenly. That being said, so was my "poached." I had the three cheese (aged Gruyere, fresh mozzarella, and brie) and added prosciutto for some meat. It was decadent but didn't make me feel heavy at all. An elevated egg-sandwich if you will (in taste, and price, unfortunately). I spent $10 so it's pretty average for a lunch in the area but isn't as big of a portion as you might find elsewhere.
I definitely wish they had some stools so you have to option to sit and eat right as your sandwich comes out of the oven. It's a cute little takeout spot oh, and I loved the rustic barn decor!
