Laura Ashton's Hingetown spot is the antidote to all-too-common sandwich woes. She opened Little Cloud Sandwiches in April with her husband, Matt (they also own Lekko Coffee down the street), and friends Rachael and Jared Champion (who also own Iggy's Bar in Lakewood). Little Cloud’s sandwich-slinger-in-chief, chef David “Skippy” Rutherford, has crafted a small but mighty menu of carefully curated creations.
So far, the most popular is the turkey and brie ($13), layered with crisp apple, crispy prosciutto and peppery dressed arugula, with a rich tarragon creme fraiche. The menu also features classic breakfast options with a spin, and specials rotate throughout the year to mine the bounty of their respective seasons.
“You know the phrase, ‘When you’re sitting on a cloud?’ We like to say that we sell a little bit of that feeling,” Ashton muses. “If you’re having a bad day and you grab a sandwich, then it’s a good day. If you’re having a great day and you grab a sandwich, then it’s an even better day.”
