Matt KinseyApril 24, 2015The Italian Panini is a great mixture of spicy Italian with some lettuce to cool it as well. On a nice toasted bun, and some kettle cooked chips.

The fresh baked bread is really incredible. Breakfast sandwiches are HUGE. A little small inside, but it was perfect for a Sunday brunch...UpvoteDownvote
The toaster pastries are seriously awesome, so long as you're lucky enough to show on the right day

ConstanceApril 25, 2013I tried the Sweet & Savory sandwich. It was delicious, but the bread-to-filling ratio was way off. Lots of bread. Little meat. The bagged chips 'cheapened' the look of the plating.UpvoteDownvote
