Swiss 2 Go is one of those places in Edmonton that you kind of take for granted. They have been in Edmonton serving Swiss style sandwiches and desserts since 2012. I have had the pleasure of attending a couple of events catered by Swiss 2 Go but had never stopped by the storefront. Their specialty is soup, sandwiches and dessert.
Narcity made photos of their teacup cheesecakes go viral and my dessert loving friend Brenna insisted that we make a girl date of it.
I wanted to pop in and see what the rest of the menu was like before I invited all my ladies out.
My husband and I stopped by one evening for a sandwich and dessert. Plenty of free parking available out front. When you walk into the café it is like walking in off the street into a grandmother's kitchen. Very cute knick knacks everywhere. It is an environment that feels very comforting. The menus are all handwritten chalkboards and selections rotate regularly. There is a coffee bar, a selection of teas and always some citrus infused water available.
The sandwiches run around $10 - $12 for the smaller size. Since we were there primarily to try the cheesecake, we opted for the smaller sized sandwich. They are big!
The sandwiches are served on a bun that is a combination of brioche and pretzel. It has a beautifully soft inside and that nice chewy crust with the kosher salt. You could almost put anything on that bun and call it delicious! The sandwiches are made with such care and attention to detail, presented with a Swiss flag skewer to keep it all together. The fillings are made with quality ingredients and piled high. I don't know how anyone could finish one of the larger versions.
