VACAVILLE – Catering to the Vacaville community since 1999, the Tormey sisters serve up quality home-style meals made from
the freshest ingredients available. They bake their desserts and bread daily and offer an array of sandwiches, salads, soups and sides to either enjoy onsite or for pick-up or delivery to your home or office.
Offering excellent customer service, this is a great place to stop for a tasty meal while on the go. Among my recommendations are their Tuna or Chicken Stuffed Tomato, or a turkey-avocado sandwich with sprouts and one of their homemade salads, and of course, a brownie for dessert.
