Luba's Place

This small place is located on the corner of Delaware and Mohawk inside the Immigration building next to a HSBC bank. Two people mentioned it on the same day today and they didn’t know the name of the place. It was way too difficult to find online and there's barely any notice there's food inside.

As we walked into the door where the sign on the ground pointed "Breakfast and Lunch" from the outside, it wasn't the place we imagined it to be. We even walked by it and then turned around to ask this lady behind a snack bar where the cafe is and there isn't one. Instead, Luba’s Place is a snack bar and concessionary with sandwiches.

This place isn't a they too, but rather a she. There was just one lady working. It felt lonely in there with just her and a small kitchen behind her. There's no sit down area and really nothing around. There was a pizza open on the counter to show today is Pizza Day. We each ordered two sandwiches on buns which took about ten minutes for her to make.

We took the menu back with us and did the math ourselves and she miscalculated both our orders. She did pocket some change, but it wasn't a big deal since she's doing all the work by herself. The sandwiches are dirt cheap around the cost of $3. They are quite stuffed with whatever you order and the best part of it is that it's completely fresh from the bread to just about everything included. The meatball sandwich was very tasty. Nothing else comes with the sandwich... compared to Sue's who charges double the price and in return for more, you just get some potato chips and a pickle. They do have breakfast items such as eggs & toast, bagels, muffins, etc. For lunch, salads, drinks, snacks, and pizza from Canisius on Wednesdays are there. On the paper menu we took, it even states we can phone ahead our orders, which is nice.

At first thought what was going to get a real low rating turned out to better than expected after we ate our food. Fresh food, affordable prices, and within a close walking distance redeems itself for us to go back and anyone to try out.

Final Rating: 3.0 out of 5
