This bakery/cafe chain’s artisanal breads are the star here. The stuff they put on them – asiago roast beef, chipotle chicken – is yummy too.
We love the combos: daily soups (broccoli cheddar and low fat ones) with a 1/2 sandwich, or the interesting salads: Asian sesame chicken, Fuji apple chicken or paninis (frontega chicken is popular).
There’s bagels (cinnamon crunch, everything), sinful cookies, French-style desserts (pineapple upside down cake, wild blueberry scones, pecan braid, macadamia nut blondie) and designer coffees or teas. We can’t leave without buying the asiago cheese bread to take home.
