Al’s — State Street Cafe

Al’s State Street Cafe serves hot and cold subs on French baguettes, a short walk from the Old State House. The Italian brings together mortadella, Genoa salami, sweet capicola and provolone. For something hot, there’s chicken pesto or a Steak Bellino with peppers, onions and cheese. Sandwiches come in small and large sizes, with wraps available too.

The menu also covers salads, soups and meat-free choices, including grilled vegetables and eggplant Parmesan. A bag lunch adds chips and a drink to your sandwich, while catering handles a larger office order. Online ordering is available if you want to arrange pickup. Check directly before a late-afternoon or weekend trip, since the cafe’s own website publishes conflicting hours.
