I have been to Trax about 10 times with different friends. I live on Pulaski so it's a nice little walk for lunch. They mostly have sandwiches with kettle style chips or fresh fruit. The sandwiches are terrific. My favorite is the Sicilian Turkey wrap with fresh Mozzarella, pesto, turkey, greens, and red onion on a spinach wrap. My friends all love the sourdough sandwich with mozzarella, fresh tomato, roasted red peppers and balsamic drizzle.
There are a few vegan choices like the avocado wrap and they have an assortment of yummy treats too like Cecilia cakes, freshly baked muffins and other tempters.
A good friend has been there in the morning and raves about the breakfast items but I can't vouch for that since I haven't tried it yet. Perhaps this weekend?

I went by there today and learned that it actually has closed its business entirely (this is not a rumor, it is a fact). It's a real shame. I think if they had focused more on and been more enthusiastic about their (wonderful) espresso and perhaps added some wine or beer they would have been very successful.
