To The Maxx Sandwich Shop

To The Maxx Sandwich Shop Fresh sandwiches, house-made breads, and a welcoming place to stop in. Opening October 21st!

09/03/2026

We are opening our doors in two phases this October, starting with a quiet morning coffee with dessert bread/sweet bake service before launching our full lunch service. Here is everything you need to know:

FIRST RISE MONDAYS LAUNCH
Starts: Monday, October 5th (and continuing every Monday!)
Hours: 6:30 AM – 9:30 AM (or until sold out)

What we’re serving: Fresh drip coffee (regular and decaf) paired with one featured dessert bread or treat.

Coffee details: Grab-and-go cups and lids are ready, or feel free to bring your own travel tumbler from home!

FULL LUNCH OPENING DAY
Starts: Wednesday, October 21st
Days & Hours: Wednesday through Saturday | 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM (or until the bread runs out)

What we’re serving: Please see our pinned menu. 🙂

** A quick note on small-batch baking:

Because everything we serve is made 100% from scratch right here in our kitchen --- mixed, kneaded, risen, and baked fresh --- our daily supply is limited. Once the fresh bread for the day is sold out, that’s a wrap for the shift so we can reset and prep for the next bake.

Thank you all so much for the incredible support and excitement over this past (almost) year. We can't wait to see you! 💛🤎

Coming Soon: First Rise Mondays

We have something special in the works for your Monday morning commute.

Baking with yeast has always been a true passion of mine. There is nothing quite like taking the time to let dough slowly rise into ultimate comfort food. We’ll be keeping things simple by featuring one fresh, warm, limited-batch sweet each Monday morning, rotating between favorites like our handcrafted Cinnamon Rolls and rich Chocolate Babka slices served with our whipped raspberry butter.

Everything will be baked right here from scratch and served warm starting at 6:30 AM alongside hot drip coffee ~ until the batch is gone. 🙂

​We can't wait to welcome you this October. 💛🤎

Forty-eight hours left for the sealer to fully cure, and then this piece of history is officially ready for action. Unearthed and restored the original tilework over the old brick.

Our customer counter -- hand-finished and installed by the husband and looking right at home right alongside the historic floor. All about that live-edge grain.

And honestly? Aren't they purdy? 💛

In a lot of kitchens today, it’s easy to lean on pre-made dough, outsourced bread, or packaged sides to save time. But from day one, we knew we wanted to do things differently.

​Behind every roll and bun we bake is a commitment to doing things the old-school way. We don't use commercial molds or shortcuts here. Every single hoagie roll is shaped completely freehand and baked right on standard sheet pans to develop that perfect balance: a golden, crisp outer crust paired with a soft, tender interior crumb that actually holds up to your favorite meats and dressings without getting soggy (and I've tested this overnight 🙂).

​No rubbery texture, no palate-scraping crust -- just a clean, exceptional bite designed from scratch to elevate the sandwich experience.

Every side dish, dressing, marinade, oil blend, topping, and baked treat will be freshly made. Every deli meat will be freshly sliced in-house. Yes, our prep days will be busy. But our commitment to real, honest food is a promise we will always stand by.

My husband and I are counting down the days until we open our doors and share it all with this wonderful community. Keep an eye out for our new Open sign lit up -- see you in October! 💛 🤎

Every sandwich on our menu tells a story.

​When we set out to create the menu for To The Maxx Sandwich Shop, we didn't want to serve safe, bland sandwiches. Flavor is everything to us.

​Growing up back east in Pennsylvania, I fell in love with real, uncompromising deli culture -- the sharp cheeses, the herb-infused oils, the slow-roasted meats, and bread baked fresh that morning. I took those regional flavors I loved, experimented in the kitchen, and fine-tuned every single build to create something truly our own.

​From our Philly Sharp Tuna (sharp aged provolone, roasted peppers, and our house oil) to The Makeever Special (house-roasted beef with fresh mozzarella and a rich demi-glace), every single recipe has been curated for maximum flavor balance. (Curated flavor profiles: Deletions welcome, no additions please.)

​No fluff, no filler. Just bold, scratch-made combinations on our daily morning-baked rolls.

​We can't wait to welcome you in!

P.S. As we get closer to our opening and while I dial in the kitchen, I'll be baking and rolling out fresh samples of our signature items one by one. Keep an eye out on Google (and here) for when your favorites are coming out of the oven -- stop by and grab a taste. 🙂

New building sign is done!

We are absolutely in love with how our storefront turned out. A massive thank you to Reinforcements Design for the incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. He absolutely knocked it out of the park. From the flawless gold trim to the perfect scaling, our vision for To The Maxx Sandwich Shop had been brought to life perfectly (that gold trim edge is everything!). Support local businesses because the talent in our community is unmatched! 🙏✨

We can’t wait to welcome you all through these doors soon. Lots of moving parts go into getting a food establishment ready, but we're oh so close. 💛

Opening a shop is a series of "no's" and "not yets." When my husband and I started this journey, we set a budget for equipment. We knew we had to be practical, and we were fully prepared to start small and simple to keep our doors open.

We spent weeks looking for used gear, praying for the right things to come along at the right price. There were moments where we had to let go of our "wish list" and choose what was actually sustainable. And that’s exactly when things started to shift. Through a series of unexpected turns, we didn’t just find what we needed. We found something better than we ever expected, and even received an unexpected gift to help us get started.

When you stop holding on so tightly to the "perfect" plan, there’s so much more room for the process to work out exactly as it should. We are walking into this opening with a lot of gratitude for how things have fallen into place. The right things show up right on time.

We aren’t just opening a shop. We’re seeing a dream take shape, and we’re so thankful for the path that got us here. It is such a humbling reminder that we aren't walking this path alone.

Someone has to ensure the shop is ready for you all, and our Chief Sniffing Officer, Maxx, is on the job! 🐾 He will be doing his "sniffari" inspection very soon, giving his official seal of approval to the new space. We think he approves of the view! 🧡 Can’t wait to welcome you all in soon.

I'm not going to lie. I'm tearing up here a little bit right now. Thank you to Reinforcements Design for such a GORGEOUS window sign! I was not expecting to see this when I arrived this morning, so he must have been here pretty late last night.

Thank you so, so much for bringing our vision to life! You nailed it! We can't wait to see the building sign next. 🤎💛

Last month, we shared our excitement about sourcing our meats from Greco & Sons. Today, we’re highlighting the other half of the equation -- the cheese. When I started planning the menu for the shop, I knew I couldn't compromise on the cheese. We’re thrilled to share that we’ve partnered with Grande Cheese to bring that authentic, high-quality flavor to our hoagies, using their aged salamino provolone, whole milk mozzarella, and Parmesan.

The result is the standard we promised: a truly uncompromised, authentic hoagie. 🤎💛
