Legends Café is a local sandwich shop located at 102 Congress Street on the west side of Saratoga Springs. Legends has been voted best salads 3 years in a row by the local Saratogian newspaper and has been voted as one of the best sandwich shops in America. Although it is known to many as a sandwich shop, Legends Café’s claim to fame came from the create-your-own salad option, and boasts a whopping 50 toppings to choose from. Legends prides itself on maintaining a high quality of food as everything is prepped and made on the spot each day.
Legends also prides itself on supporting local vendors in the area when buying produce and supplies.
Legends Café considers itself more of a lunch time kind of place, but they are open into the night, closing at 9pm for which Skidmore students are quite thankful. Although Legends doesn’t have table service, customers are more than welcome to sit, listen to music, watch television, and change the channel if they so choose. There is a causal nature to the shop that puts the customer at ease and the staff are very polite and welcoming. You can order delivery, pick up, or eat in and Legends also has the option of catering for bigger events. The food is fresh, made on the spot, and fast for those who only have 30-minute lunch breaks and the quality is always top notch. All of the sauces and soups are homemade, as opposed to pre-frozen in a bag, and the quality shows. They cater to the community, local businesses, and have a wonderful relationship with Skidmore students, even letting them create and name a sandwich which is now on the menu. Legends Café has all the benefits of a homemade meal and a great pick for anybody looking for good food and a great price, whether it be a sandwich, salad, soup, Panini, or burger, you can bet it’s going to be good.
