Mr. Smith's Bakery Café & Catering

Was working out that way and was looking for something unique, found it. Nice sandwich shop. Love the bread.

Go in the front door of ace hardware and turn right to find this place. The sandwiches here are better than I have had at any sandwich shop. The bread is just the right amount of moist and the toppings are high quality and delicious. Order it warm, I don't think you will be disappointed. My wife says the soups she has had here are amazing as well, and one of these days I will test them out myself.

Mister Smith's is a staple of Vermillion cuisine. I visited this place almost weekly when my husband was in law school 10 years ago. We were driving through and made sure to swing in this weekend. It did 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 disappoint 👏🏻 Admittedly I haven't strayed away from the sandwich options because 1) the bread is delicious and fresh and 2) you can endlessly customize. There is a menu of sandwiches but you can also build your own. When you arrive, you simply fill out the sheet of paper with your order and bring it to the cashier to pay. Some of our favorites: big smith, chicken breast and cheese, club, Southwest chicken wrap. Dine in has simple tables and chairs off to the side. It can get busy at meal times but the wait is usually reasonable. You can also purchase a wide selection of brea

A true hidden gem of Vermillion. Right off the beaten path, hidden away in a hardware store. You would never know it's there unless you're a local. The place doesnt look like much but with home made breads, naked treats, and fresh sliced ham for their sandwiches you'd swear you're in heaven. Forget Paneras overpriced mediocre commercial junk. This is the place. A college budget friendly place with great food. The seating isn't much but the soups, sandwiches and friend chicken is amazing with a reasonable price and the portions are amazing. I go there any time I can and recommend it to anyone coming through.

Mr. Smith’s is one of those unexpected gems you’re surprised to find tucked inside an Ace Hardware, right next to the appliance section, of all places. It’s definitely a hole-in-the-wall spot, nothing fancy or flashy, but the moment you take that first bite, you realize it doesn’t need to be. The food is fantastic. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and crafted with real care. It’s the kind of place where you end up saying, “I can’t believe this is inside a hardware store,” in the best possible way. If you’re anywhere near the area (whether you’re shopping for tools or you're just hungry) Mr. Smith’s is absolutely worth a stop.
