Sweet Basil Deli - A Great Place To Eat!

I’ve been working part-time in Watertown now for some 3 years – first as a newspaper delivery man, then as a realtor. I’ve had plenty of occasions to visit the Watertown Meat Center on Main Street, but on several occasions as I walked to the center, I noticed a bustling patio full of people enjoying a nice day out, eating lunch with friend and family, or having a business get-together at the Sweet Basil Café and Deli, located directly across from the Watertown Public Library.

Curiosity got the better of me, so I stopped by to try out the menu.

I’m glad I did.

For those who love Panini bread, the Sweet Basil Café and Deli offers a variety of hot grilled sandwiches (very large!); for those who love cold sandwiches, you have your choice of mini-baguettes, herb ciabatta, multigrain and assorted wraps.

Me? I tried the Almost Philly Panini (I am not a fan of cheese on roast beef), altered to suit my tastes. That’s a sandwich that I can get from the Sweet Basil Café and Deli all the time!

While I did not take the time on that day to enjoy the ambiance, the Sweet Basil Café and Deli is truly a cute and quiet little spot to enjoy an afternoon break – read a book, sip some tea, and partake of some delectable food.
