Luvy Duvy's Café

07/18/2007

I like quaint little eateries. Typically, they are the end result of a love affair with food and a passion to be one's own boss. Such is the case with Cassady Caldwell and Jackie Seal, partners in the 6-month-old Luvy Duvy's Café in the Benton Park neighborhood.

The two women have more than 20 years' experience in food service. They set up shop in a rehabbed building that once was a neighborhood tavern, then a barbershop and is now a small and friendly place to grab breakfast or lunch.

I got there too late in the day for breakfast, which ends at 11 a.m., so I ordered a takeout lunch for two.

The soup of the day ($4.50) was a garlic tomato bisque that we quickly gobbled up. I liked the bits and pieces of crushed garlic and tomatoes that studded the tasty soup. I'd order it again.

I long for Cuban sandwiches, so I couldn't pass up Luvy Duvy's rendition ($6.50). The key to a great Cuban sandwich lies in the bread, which resembles French bread but is a bit sweeter. The fillings include roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese and pickles, and the sandwiches are grilled on both sides. Luvy Duvy's got the recipe right, but I think it needs at least 3 or 4 ounces of meat to make it a super sandwich.

We also tried and enjoyed Roxy's famous chicken salad sandwich ($6.50). This is a refreshing salad with grapes, pecans and celery served on a croissant and accompanied by a couple of pineapple rings. Both sandwiches came with potato chips.

We tried the baked potato salad ($2) but weren't impressed. I believe the owners could do better if they'd make the potato salad rather than buy it from a vendor.

For dessert, we split a big piece of Elsie's spice cake ($2.50), moist, dark cake brimming with flavor and topped with an ultrasweet glaze.

Luvy Duvy's Café is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
