Creamy and rich
Crema Cafe, 4124 Monona Drive
The Artimelt sandwich, with artichokes, sweet onions, spinach, melted Farmer John’s provolone and mayo on a baguette is cream y, rich and meat-free.
Sweet and fruity
Indie Coffee, 1225 Regent St.
The honey, fig and goat cheese sandwich covers ground from offbeat breakfast to late-night snack. The crowning touch — it’s served on sweetish cinnamon raisin bread.
Spicy and satisfying
Green Owl Cafe, 1970 Atwood Ave.
The Cajun blackened tofu sandwich is stuffed with the blackened tofu you have been trying to make at home and haven’t quite managed. The secret might be the lemon marinade — or the chipotle rémoulade. This one’s vegan.
