Review: Corner Bakery Cafe - Cuban Press Panini & Sriracha Black Bean Soup Combo

Corner Bakery's Cuban Press Panini & Sriracha Black Bean Soup combo is something they rolled out recently. The sandwich features roasted pulled pork, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and yellow mustard on pressed ficelle, while the soup is made with black beans, onions, and garlic in a vegetable stock seasoned with coconut milk, Sriracha sauce, and lime.

It normally costs $8.79 for the combo but I received this courtesy of Corner Bakery. The combo also include a bag of chips and a pickle spear.
