Seasonal Ingredients: The Heart of Our Menu

At Trolley Stop Deli, we believe that the secret to great food lies in the ingredients. That's why we're passionate about using seasonal produce to create dishes that are not only delicious but also nourishing. By embracing the natural rhythms of the seasons, we can offer our customers a unique dining experience every time they visit.

Spring brings an abundance of fresh greens and herbs, perfect for crafting vibrant salads and refreshing sandwiches. Summer is all about juicy tomatoes and sweet corn, which add a burst of flavor to our signature dishes. As the leaves turn in fall, we incorporate hearty squash and root vegetables, while winter sees us celebrating citrus fruits and leafy greens.
