Station 22 Cafe in Provo, Utah

Update: Station 22 is now a sit-down restaurant and has gone through some changes (good ones I hear). I need to post an update soon.

Favorite:

I know, I know--so many Provo posts. 

But Provo sorta has a plethora of good places to eat right now. Surprised? Maybe we shouldn't be.

For now, behold:

...Station 22 Cafe. I have just discovered a new favorite place.


My mother & I immediately eyed down the "Caprese Sandwich" sign out front for their daily special.

And just like that my mom was done ordering before we even entered.

Caprese--pronounced "kah-PREH-seh"--consists of fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella cheese, drizzled with olive oil & the occasional balsamic vinaigrette. On a sandwich? Paired with a broccoli bacon cheddar soup? Don't mind if I do.


Station 22 Cafe is located in Historic Downtown Provo, so it's only fitting they stuck with the theme & left exposed brick for the walls & neat brick for the flooring. I love that feel of an old rustic building.


Oh I'll be back to eventually try every single Daily Special, which I assume probably changes according to what's seasonally fresh.


If you're feeling artistic on your way to the salad bar, stop by the giant chalkboard wall freshly stocked with a basket full of chalk.



Yes fellow parents, take your family! They have a kid's menu!


Memphis Chicken Sandwich

Hand-cut, house breaded, fried chicken "served Memphis-style with a spicy butter glaze topped with a fresh slaw" placed lovingly on a ciabatta roll. Not a fan of chicken sandwiches? Yeah, neither was I. Think again...  Crispy & crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, with a slaw & a sweet spicy glaze; very satisfying & delicious in one bite! My claim above about trying every one of their daily specials? I changed my mind.

I'm serious. It's a new favorite & added to my list of "constant cravings".


I love the local art on the walls. This display: www.allmyfriendsaremonsters.com - A photo project by Trevor Christensen.
