The Seedling Cafe

I once had a friend who worked at Indian Head Plaza (the closest thing to a skyscraper in downtown Nashua) that would almost daily go to the Seedling Cafe. I'm not as big a fan as he is, but I don't disagree with his judgement.

Hidden away on Water Street across from the Parc du Renaissance Francaise, the Seedling Cafe is a hidden treasure combining gourmet cuisine with the charm of a luncheon cantina.

They name all of their panini wraps after their employees who I assume choose the ingredients. The menus also say some of them are "award winning", but you need to go to their website, theseedlingcafe.com, to see what those awards were.

There are only small things to nitpick with when it comes to the Seedling. I think the portions are a little small, but they aren't terribly small (as you can see above), the location is kind of out of the way but not really that far out of the way (within walking distance of Main Street), and the sandwich I had ("the Anne") could use a little more dressing.

In the end, the Seedling is a solid A-. It's a good lunch choice for those in downtown Nashua and a good value for the quality of food they give you.
