My friend and I were exploring downtown Mesa, and we were looking for a quick, light lunch. Enter Sweet Cakes Cafe. We were pleasantly surprised that they had a small selection of salads, sandwiches, and soups, in addition to their giant cookies and sweet treats. I had their lunch special: 1/2 sandwich with soup or salad for $7.50 + tax. All the sandwiches come with a small cookie and pickle. They only have about 10 sandwiches to choose from, and your bread options include honey wheat, white, rye, sourdough, 9 grain, or croissant. You can also add bacon or avocado to your sandwich for extra. \n\nI had the turkey delight with no mayo and cream cheese on 9 grain. It was a small sandwich, but surprisingly good. Fresh ingredients like sprouts and avocado, good turkey, and the 9 grain bread was perfectly toasted. The small salad was ok. It was mainly iceberg lettuce (boo) mixed with some romaine lettuce. All in all, a satisfying meal. Good place for lunch!
