Next is the little sandwich joint near the Bay Centre: the Orchard on View Marketplace at 655 View st.
Access: Bad -- the store itself is so small, I had to wait until there were *no* customers in order to get to the cash register. However, there is one little table outside where I was easily able to park the stroller and eat my lunch, so it's only the ordering and paying parts of the lunch process that are not very stroller-accessible.
Food: My ham & avocado sandwich was tasty and full of fresh vegetables, but the bread was dry. The seed cookie was delicious, not too sweet, and with phenomenal texture.
Service: Prompt and very friendly. The clerk saw I'd forgotten napkins, and so she made a special trip to bring some out to my table. :-)
Cost: My pre-made sandwich, cookie and Orangiata came to $11.50, which I think is a bit expensive.
Baby friendly: Space-wise, not so much. But personnel-wise, I was very satisfied with the level of baby-friendliness. The cashier seemed overjoyed to talk to my baby, who was more than happy to flirt back. (Yes, having staff speak kindly to my baby *does* count towards this grade.)
Overall Grade: D+
The tasty food and friendly service save this somewhat expensive and not-easily-accessible restaurant from a failing grade.
