Lanis’s Grilled Cheese Shop

Lanis’s Grilled Cheese Shop serves all kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches, including jerk chicken and pastrami. Vegan grilled sandwiches, too. Homemade soups and salads. Perfect grab ‘n go just a mile from East Stroudsburg University.

Try a ciabatta with fresh mozzarella, a Cubano, or the Pastraminator.

Lani’s Grilled Cheese shop started as a “crazy” idea in New York City at the time owner Jelani Douglas, a graduate of East Stroudsburg South, was studying at Johnson & Wales and knew one day he wanted to run his own restaurant.

While working as a prep cook, line cook and section manager at a local resort Jelani learned everything about running a restaurant. He saw the opportunity to start a new restaurant offering a classic comfort food with a modern twist to the Pocono Mountains and jumped at the first location he could find, right off North Cortland street in East Stroudsburg.
