Brewster Express, Brewster

Brewster Express is a cute little lunch place located near the bike path on Underpass Rd (or, as we fondly like to call it "Underpants Rd").

The owners make fresh soups and sandwiches. It's simple fare but they touch the food with that something special that true cooks have, so most everything you try kisses your taste buds with dancing delight. Breads are fresh, the house salad dressing is great, the roast beef is uncannily delicious, the sandwiches are named after space objects, "Meteor" and "Venus" and such whimsical names.

The homemade soups are absolutely to die for, and in the winter are the high point of my day, thick and stewy and juicy.

We often order lunches for our office there, Astrolabe, Inc. Terry, the owner, misuderstood me the first time I ordered on the phone, and thought I said my name was "Ester Lake" instead of Astrolabe. After we all figured it out we had a good laugh....if you go in there, tell 'em Ester Lake sent ya. You can tell 'em they've been blogged.

There's a menu for kids too, and lots of drinks to choose from, ice cream (the good kind) and outdoor picnic tables scattered about. It's quite a popular spot and not one of those "fry fish and fries" joints that do a number on old guts.

Good biker stop off to chew and screw.
