    I went here on a rainy Wednesday morning, so it wasn’t very busy. I got the sausage egg and cheese on their homemade English muffin and it was possibly the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had! From the fresh bread, to the runny egg, the flavorful juicy sausage, to the herby mayo, it was PERFECTION! The crunchy hash brown on the side made it the perfect pair. I got a lavender matcha and it was okay. I’ll go for the coffee next time. Friendly staff and clean atmosphere. I can’t wait to try their other bread and pastries!

    High quality baked goods, sandwiches, and solid coffee. With a full kitchen and bakery everything you're getting was made fresh & in house. Especially loved the breakfast sandwiches, cooked to order with a runny yolk. Coffee was solid and there were a nice variety of pastries on offer. Very much worth going out of your way for this one!

    Came after seeing it featured in the NYT. They have the BEST grilled cheese ever! While waiting for our sandwiches, we started with The Bear chocolate cake. So good. Every sandwich we ordered and shared was incredible. I wish we had one of this place in my hometown.

    It’s definitely worth the hype! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Though next time I’d get the hash brown on the side, it’s a little big otherwise. The sausage has the perfect amount of sweetness. It’s also very filling so you won’t still be hungry afterwards. I would definitely eat it at the restaurant next time, because the bottom bun was very soggy by the time I ate it (my fault, I took forever to go grab it). But it was still amazing regardless!
