EATING VERY LOCAL AT CAFÉ WEST 46

The other café that we’d failed to feature was right in our neighborhood, tucked away on a residential West Side street. Café West 46 (not to be confused with our other Café of the West) specializes in sandwiches, soups, and salads, with an emphasis on using only the best ingredients. We tried their generous Bahn Mi sandwich, served with house-made chips and dipping sauce, which was sweet, savory, and filling. This is the perfect place to grab a bite if you’re strolling through the West Side and don’t feel like braving a main drag – it stands alone, with no other businesses nearby, and there is some outdoor seating, so you can enjoy the spring day in a peaceful atmosphere.

Café West 46 is located at 46 Seminary Ave. in Binghamton. They are open Monday-Friday, from 9am-4pm. (607) 723-1389; cafewest46.com.
