A place like Pom Pom’s is exactly the reason klynn and I decided to start this blog. I cannot believe I’ve lived in here for nearly 12 years, and I only just this week discovered this great little Orlando sandwich shop. If you’re not familiar either, I can certainly understand why: it’s lodged away in a tiny strip center on Bumby Avenue (there’s also a location in East Orlando, on University Boulevard), and if you blink you’ll miss it.
Pom Pom’s has an extremely eclectic menu of sandwiches, teas, soups, and salads. One tip: if you’re going with a sandwich, choose something fairly simple. One thing I did notice is on many of the dishes, Pom Pom’s goes a tad overboard with “many flavors”. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but for example I had a pork sandwich, and it had like five really different, strong flavors. I ended-up just pulling the meat out and eating that.
Another really cute thing about this eatery is the artwork (which I’m assuming changes frequently) – it reminds me very much of The Peacock Room.
Pom Pom’s is quaint, and a little pricier than the average sandwich shop, but so worth it. Plus they’re open late, so it’s convenient for a late night snack or even after going out on the weekend. INSIGHT: If you absolutely love the bread your sandwich is served on, you can buy a loaf right there in the store!
Now, the ultimate reason to check-out Pom Pom’s:

I love PomPoms and miss the Bumby location since I don’t work downtown anymore. Now that there is one on University I’m excited because I can go to lunch there now.
And see…all those years we worked at the same place, and you could’ve taken me there! βΊ
Alicia we went there for lunch with work peeps! It was a DaFoodie event on Facebook but I’ll remind you next time π

Wow. Never heard of this place, though I’m sure I’ve driven past it hundreds of times. Looking forward to checking it out!
I know! Apparently you & I are the only ones who’ve never been there. Nearly everyone I know knew about it.
P.S. Don’t let the outside turn you off! It’s fun inside….
I can NOT believe you have never eaten here before… I understand though, so many gems to discover here!!
I adore this place, love love love their tea and the cupcakes… OMG – they are from http://www.facebook.com/bluebirdbakeshop
and are AHHMAZING!!!! They are opening their own cupcake shop soon, CANT WAIT!
Maybe we should switch a location for dinner next week to somewhere none of us have been…
It’s funny, too, because I have been into the record store next door many times. Just never noticed Pom Pom’s.
And I’m actually working on a blog post about Blue Bird Bake Shop! Their cupcakes are ah-may-zing!
I’m all about trying new places….
