Their breads are so good, a cheese sandwich would likely hit the spot. I suspect they'd do a nice grilled cheese for you; get some kraut on it and a potato pancake on the side, get a Cel-Ray or another Dr. Brown's soda, and you'll do all right (even though I'm not a huge fan of the style of latke done at Shapiro's, it's a legit expression of a style that many prefer; see my picture above). The desserts are also fantastic; great cheesecake and, as noted by hungryrabbi, the chocolate cake is very good. They aren't all about the vegetables at Shapiro's, but their attention to quality is so high, I think you'll do all right with whatever you order.
