I loved grilled cheese sandwiches as a kid but rarely eat it as an adult. I just don't think it's worth the money restaurants charge for grilled cheese sandwiches. Gourmet store to buy cheese and bread. A pannini maker or just a hot pan, and you can make a grilled cheese for much less.
But, I've been by Heywood a few times and read good reviews. But, last week I read they had lost their lease and will be closing at the end of June. So, I figured give them a try. While they are closing, the coffee shop/cafe that is taking over will serve some of the grilled cheese sandwiches from Heywood's menu.
Vintage, $9,-cheddar, butter, on multi-grain bread. All grilled cheese comes with tomato soup and salad.
The Vintage was fine, good quality cheddar and nice oversized multi grain bread. But, nothing great and not worth the $9 price tag. Yes, it includes soup and salad but still not a good value.
Tomato soup and salad included with all grilled cheese sandwiches. Salad was fresh, probably from a package.
Tomato soup- served lukewarm. Nice tangy flavor, but nothing special.
Service was OK.
Again, the grilled cheese sandwich was fine. But, not worth the price. But, the hipsters who have taken over Silver Lake, must love Heywood, because many people are coming by for a grilled cheese before they close.
