Cafe Centro in Prudential Plaza

Post #1 - January 20th, 2006, 4:31 pmCouldn't find any mention of Cafe Centro on here... Its more of a coffeehouse, but they also have great Italian sandwiches.
Today I had the "JoJo" (which they say is their specialty... Proscuitto, roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarela, fresh basil, artichokes, baslamic on delicious bread... pretty good stuff! This particular sandwich is more money than the rest, and at $7.47 after tax its a little pricey perhaps given that you don't get any sides! Their other sandwiches are cheaper though..
I like another sandwich they have that has various italian meats, giardinare, balsamic, etc... but they have a lot more choices in sandwiches for vegetarians...
After having a few of these sandwiches, I feel like I'm eating paper when I go to Quiznos or Potbelly for a sandwich...
They also have good gelato and coffee drinks..

Post #3 - February 20th, 2006, 7:08 amI also work in the Aon Center. I have been to Cafe Centro many times. The JoJo is indeed a good sandwhich when compared to other building offerings like Subway, Quizno's, ABP, etc . The bread has a nice spongy effect that soaks up the oil and spices and the meats seem quality. The giardinera is also spicy and crunchy, like it should be. For those who like wheat bread, you can also get a pretty good tuna salad on wheat. The coffee is not bad either. The only bad part is the pictures of all of those sinful coffee drinks on the wall!

when they were newer, they would periodically be in the lobby giving out samples of various drinks... one morning i had some drink that was absolutely delicious... it was some kind of mocha, but was a little frothy and not a mocha.. i went back that day to get it, but they didn't know what they were giving out... I've tried just about everything on their menu and can't find it! Maybe the sample was a little "off"--but in a good way? Ooo well, their drinks are still good (though the pictures make them look amazing). and the Gelato is a little different than the usual ice cream. Does anyone know if their Wi-Fi is free?
