I visited here over the long weekend and really enjoyed what I had. The line was pretty long when we got there (20-25 minutes) but I was in company of some friends so it went by fast. I have to take a moment for the weekday breakfast sandwich (I added ham). I take my breakfast sandwiches very seriously and had been on the hunt for one since I moved to Seattle. This is easily one of the best and the best in Seattle that I've had so far. I loved the soufflé egg and English muffin, every bite was truly delicious! I also got a savory scone and chocolate chip cookie. The scone was light, but flavor was not my fav. Cookie was very delicious! The staff were super kind and a joy to talk to even when they were busy. There was a small hiccup with my latte order and they accommodated with the complimentary cookie which I truly appreciated. The inside was quite small with a few tables, but they have a covered area outside with tables which I opted for since I felt a bit crammed inside. I will be coming back regularly for the breakfast sandwich though! So delicious! read more

Came on a Saturday at 10:30am and there was a line out the door! It moved quickly and we probably waited ~20min. They have a selection of baked goods including pastries, cookies, breads, and 3 breakfast options for the weekend only. We tried them all, the brioche breakfast sandwich, chorizo hash, and the ham & eggs benedict! Everything was great but the favorites were the chorizo hash and the eggs Benedict. The hash had so much flavor from the chorizo and it came with a nice salsa. The eggs Benedict was tasty and their English muffins are excellent! The breakfast sandwich was solid but didn't blow me away. We also got the kimchi cheddar brioche and the blackberry lemon brioche. Both were delicious and had a lot of filling. There's a bunch of outside tables so that was nice. Great place for breakfast or a nice baked treat! read more

Go to bakery in our neighborhood. Always a line out the door but we got here right at 8 when they opened. All of the pastries are tasty, price range $4 and up for cookies, scones and breads. A loaf of sour dough runs about $7 and a breakfast sandwich $13. Pricey but it's nice to come here occasionally. read more

I happened to notice this cafe while I was at another spot nearby, and it immediately stood out because it was so crowded. Since I was craving a good cup of coffee, I decided to stop in and give this place a try. I ordered a 12 oz hot latte for here, and it turned out to be quite good. It had a nice, strong flavor and was overall a solid cup of coffee. I can see why the place draws a crowd. There were plenty of people picking up pastries and breads, which all looked tempting, even though nothing caught my eye this time around. The space itself is pretty tight, so it can feel quite crowded, and I imagine it gets even busier on weekends. It seems like a great option for a quick grab and go rather than a place to sit and linger. Overall, it was a good experience. I would consider stopping by again for the coffee if I am in the area, but it is probably not somewhere I would go out of my way for. read more

Ben's Bread - 12 oz Latte - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I haven't had Ben's bread yet. I know, I know, that's what this place is known for. But I will try their sourdough bread soon, I promise. What I have tried, three times already, is their pizza (called Pizza Friends and available only on Wednesdays from 5:30-7:30pm), and wow, it's now my favorite pizza in Seattle. Now, let me preface this with the fact that I dig thin crust, really crispy pizza. Ever since my hubs and I went to Italy during the first six months we knew each other back in 2008 and tried the super thin and crisp Roman pizza in Rome, we were hooked. We haven't been able to find a pizza we liked as much as the pizza we had there...until now. We order the Marinara every time. Just tomato sauce, thin sliced garlic, and amazing olive oil on a crispy, chewy sourdough crust. Bellisimo! So, if you like thick crust, or even medium crust that droops down, Ben's version might not be your bag, but for us, it's the Crown Jewel of pizza. In addition to the Marinara, there's also Cheese (available with or without sausage) and two seasonal flavors. Check out their Instagram feed every week to see what they're serving up. They also have a nice selection of desserts, a salad, and garlic knots. You can take your pizza to go, eat it at one of the outdoor tables in the shared patio, or have it at the wine bar or brewery tasting room next door. When you order, they will ask you where you'll be waiting, and then give you a number sign so they can find you. Just a tip to either arrive by 5:00pm to line up for the 5:30pm opening, or show up around 6:20pm. This week, we got there by 5pm, ordered by 5:35pm, and had our pizza by 5:50pm. The times we've shown up at 5:30pm, we've had to wait MUCH longer. Pizza is first come, first served, and they make 100 pies per night. The wait is worth it. read more

Got a sourdough baguette at around 11am. Slightly warm, crackly exterior, and fluffy interior, and very mildly sour. If you didn't like sourdough that much before, you'll like it now. read more

This is a really cool and cute bakery in Greenwood. I go here for their Cheezisnts. Soo delicious. They run out in the morning or early afternoon, in which case I sometimes get their donuts, preserves/jam, or coffee. They are at the bottom of a residential building with a wine bar next to them. It's also on a corner between a quiet neighborhood with a school across from it, and a busy road with businesses. So just a strangely calming vibe there, quiet but not too much. Nice staff. read more

I finally made it to Ben's Bread after my friends recommended it. The bakery is on the corner of N 70th and Greenwood Ave. I went during the week and parking was a breeze, but parking on the weekends can be tough. The first time I went I got their breakfast sandwich, salted caramel chocolate cookie and their streusel cake. The egg sandwich is an English muffin with eggs and cheese. You can add bacon, but I wanted to try it without the extras. The English muffin tasted buttery soft with the egg and cheese. It was delicious! I will need to try it with the bacon next time. I tried the cookie next and it was sweet as I expected. The caramel is melted on top of the cookie. You get a taste of chocolate and caramel in one bite!! I tried the gooey streusel next. The streusel had a mixture of tart and a sweet crunchy base. The cranberries were a nice touch. I ate the cookie and streusel at home. I warmed up the streusel and it was delicious warm! I took my partner to try their weekend Brioche sandwich. We also got their Corn cookie. Expect longer lines on the weekends, but they do a nice job moving people along. We got the breakfast sandwich with sausage. You can also get the sandwich with greens. The sandwich tasted good. It comes out hot, so we had to be careful not to burn our tongue.(LOL) The Corn cookie is delicious! It has a unique flavor; eating a crunchy corn in a cookie - very creative!!! The place is small and narrow with limited seating indoors, but there are tables outside with heaters above. The staff is friendly and helpful in recommending items to try. I would return and try their breakfast sandwich with bacon. read more

This place is a foodies dream. A creative bakery with great pastries, bread loaves, and specialties of all kinds like English muffins, pop up sandwiches like chicken parm, pizza nights on Wednesday. They launch new items often and everything is crazy good ... it's obvious that the kitchen here has massive culinary talent. Parking on phinney can be a little tough on weekends but it's worth figuring out! read more

Their house made English muffins are absolutely amazing! I came with my family on a Monday morning and we all had the English muffin breakfast sandwich with ham and it was delicious! From the soufflé egg to the bread, we really enjoyed our meal! Also got myself a matcha oat milk latte with vanilla and it was quite tasty! We parked on the street and they have lots of nice outdoor tables that are shaded for seating. We also tried some of their cookies and other baked goods! We really liked the blue corn cookie and blue corn pound cake loaf! 10/10 will be back again for more English muffins! read more

This place is within walking distance of my family members' home and it is so cute. There is outdoor seating with heat lamps. We ordered the sourdough English muffin, cinnamon sugar donut, and a toasted coconut donut along with a latte. The bread is so soft and the donut so soft and tender. I came here before with my cousin and it was delicious. I do not think there is anything wrong with anything they offer here too. The place is so cute and totally fits the vibe of the neighborhood. read more

Ben's Bread - Respect - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you can time it right and beat the sellouts, you're in for some great bread at Ben's Bread. I made a trip on a Wednesday morning and came away with a ham breakfast sandwich, blue corn cookie, pack of sourdough muffins, and the last seeded sourdough loaf, the special bread of the day. The breakfast sandwich was piping hot and simply prepared to let the ingredients shine. The souffléd egg is fluffy and well complimented by the ham. I wish I could sub the American for cheddar or another cheese, but that's ok. The sourdough muffin certainly stars. I'm looking forward to stuffing my four-pack with different jams. I'm looking forward to dipping my sourdough loaf in a rich tomato sauce or balsamic oil blend. I'm looking forward to trying more sweets, sandwiches, breads and local ingredients at Ben's, generally. read more

ok soooooo i really wanted to love this place more than i did, and i'm a little bummed!! very classic seattle bakery vibes: the aesthetic is great, clearly popular, the goods are pretty good. but honestly? i came in expecting to be blown away based on the hype and left feeling like it was fine but not quite worth the price or the crowd. also a heads up that might save someone else some frustration: they do different breakfast sandwiches on weekdays vs weekends: brioche on weekends, sourdough during the week. i can't have brioche so i was hoping to get it on sourdough, but that's just not an option on weekends. totally their prerogative, but it would be nice if that were noted somewhere so people with dietary needs can plan accordingly! i'll probably give it another shot on a weekday when i can actually try the thing i wanted. but as a first impression? a bit pricey, a little pretentious, pretty yummy...classic seattle, for better or worse. read more

I've been a fan of Ben's Bread since their pop-up days! I was so happy when they opened their brick & mortar shop in Phinney and have been numerous times since opening. Everything I've had has been tasty, but I particularly love the savory brioche, breakfast sandwich, and English muffins. Also, love how they rotate flavors (for donuts/brioche, etc.) based on what's seasonal - the current savory brioche (tomato jalapeno) is incredible! I could eat that every day. They also offer specials on Fridays (lunch, usually, I think) and then they have pizza Wednesdays which I have yet to try, but want to. Lots of fun and delicious changes to their menu which keeps me coming back. The line can look long but it moves pretty quickly. Staff is friendly as well and they do have a rewards system which you can link to your credit card so during my last visit, I had accrued $5 off which was awesome! Love that they reward loyal customers :) As for seating, there are a few spots inside, otherwise, the other area is the shared courtyard outside (covered). read more

We visited Ben's Bread on a bustling Saturday afternoon. It's clearly a popular spot, with a constant stream of customers. The seating area is small, but it's primarily a grab-and-go place. We ordered a matcha latte and a chiffon cake, which was good but fairly standard. The jam inside was fruity and sour, and felt very homemade. The standout was the brunch breakfast sandwich. I liked the addition of sautéed kale, which provided an interesting texture. The breakfast potatoes were also excellent--well-flavored with a generous portion size, but the flavors are on the heavier side. The service was wonderful. Our server was friendly and patiently waited for us to decide. We loved the lively and friendly ambiance, with the bakers working in an open kitchen. The whole space is clean and bright. read more

Exceptional. I was drawn in after seeing their sandwiches pop up on instagram. They were followed by a lot of people I trusted so I knew I had to give them a try. The staff greeted me as I walked in and were very friendly and communicative as I decided what to order. Their baguettes are a bit on the harder side so if you're looking for a good jaw work out this is the place. Lucky for me I was. The sandwiches were great, but the real standout in my opinion was their chocolate chip cookie. I needed a nap after, but it was absolutely delicious. Also, I saw they do pizza pop ups sometimes and I am sad I won't be in town to attend as the pizza looks absolute delicious. read more

Food - got the pound cake and it was really good & huge. it had a lemony icing on top that was a good balance because the cake itself had a subtle taste & the icing was super tart but still sweet. super interested in these cheez isnts! will update once i try them. Service - very friendly once i got to the front & noticed one of the staff was working very hard to find out who ordered a breakfast sammy and never came to pick it up. got our orders pretty quickly but we opted out of the hot sandwiches & got pastries & drinks to go. Ambiance - holy crap this place is busy on a weekend morning! the line was out the door & around the corner. lots of dog lovers in line! inside seating, but everything was taken. outdoor seating, but it was a chilly morning so me & the husband took our pastries to go. but there is also a cute wine bar next door & a courtyard to hang out in on a nice day. read more

This is a low 4 star - high 3 star rating. I think my expectations was just too high given how popular this place, that it didn't really wow me. Came on a busy mother's Day morning and there was a line. It didn't take too long and I got 4 items: - chocolate bombolini (5/5) soft, light fluffy filling, great flavors. -key lime donut with matcha drizzle 4/5, didn't get any matcha flavor but otherwise, pretty good -blue corn cookie --- 3.5/5 love the texture, not sure what blue corn supposed to taste like but it seems like a regular cookie Rhubarb pie 3.5/5 crust was good, love the sweet crumble to balance the tart filling, the little cream on top didn't do anything though Kim chi Danish 3/5 -- very dense compare to other pastries, Kim chi was subtle. Overall everything was good, just not amazing read more

5 stars for the sourdough loaf! Whenever we're in the mood to make a sandwich, we'll pick up a sourdough loaf. We've tried swapping up Ben's Bread with Trader Joe's or Fred Meyer, but it's just not the same. And, bread's a pretty important part of a sandwich, so we feel justified in splurging. Near the entry, they have a stand where you can just take a loaf and pay via Venmo, which is great for those days when the line is out the door. The other day, we stopped by to try their brioche breakfast sandwich on a Saturday, and it was just OK. It wasn't very flavorful--needed some sauce, and it did not feel worth it for the price, or long wait. We'll stick to the loaves. read more

3.5 Stars. Food enjoyment easily 4 Stars. Quality for the most part, very nice. Robust, girthy, baked goods. Sourdough English muffin great to take home and heat in your expensive toaster oven. Coffee is delicious. The breakfast sandwich was not all that, it was a letdown. Big negative is how expensive things get quickly. A 4 pack of sourdough bread, Brioche Breakfast sandwich, 2 baked goods, and Large Vanilla Latte turned out to be $44 tip included. Yes, made multiple special trips from "afar" to come here, yes its good, but a bit price prohibitive. I'm not hating though, good for them, get your money, business is good, long lines that move decently. read more

I love the weekday breakfast sandwich at Ben's Bread. It is such a quintessential breakfast sandwich, soft scrambled eggs, thick cut bacon, and American cheese on a homemade English muffin. All the good elements of a nostalgic breakfast sandwich, but with high quality ingredients. We went on a Friday morning around 8:45am. There were a few people in line, but it moved fast. The breakfast sandwich and latte came out about 5 minutes after we ordered. The pricing for the breakfast sandwich is pretty reasonable too, $7 is the base price and then an additional $3.5 to add bacon. But definitely add the bacon, so worth it!! Also, beware the breakfast sandwich on the weekends is different, it's a little fancier and not as nostalgic. Ben's Bread is a tiny little bakery with only a couple indoor tables, but on a weekday it's fun to snag a table and watch the hustle and bustle of the bakers behind the counter. Overall, the weekday breakfast sandwich is my favorite Ben's Bread offering! read more

My friends and I stumbled across this place and had heard some positive things about it, so decided to give it a try! We got the blue corn cookie and the kimchi bread. I liked the corn cookie a lot - crispy edges but chewy still, and a good corn flavor. It reminded me of a smaller version of the crumbl cornbread cookie! My friends also loved the kimchi bread and raved about it. Definitely worth a try! There is seating outdoors. read more

Solid little (quite literally) bakery tucked in the outskirts of Greenwood, Ben's Bread can easily be overlooked. But once you take a step inside, you're immediately greeted by an amazing aroma of freshly baked breads and a friendly smile. Ben's Bread has been on my bucket list for a while now, and it's a shame that I haven't visited until now, despite living in Greenwood for several years. I ordered a focaccia bread, a breakfast sandwich (with sausage), and a kimchi pastry (how unique!) To be honest, for the price, the breakfast sausage was a bit of a letdown. It wasn't very big, and I had to use a lot of hot sauce to add flavor and well, life into the sandwich. The bread was really nice, but for the quantity of what you get, I'll pass on it in the future. I have yet to try out the others until my wife comes back. But I'm excited! I see raving reviews of the other pastries and baked goodness, and I'm ready to bust out the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I may update this review after I try it. Bonus points that it's located near Holy Mountain brewing company - now that's a dangerous, but beautiful, combination. read more

Review for Pizza Wednesday's! It gets packed early, so on time is a bit late. I snagged a broccoli pizza and a slice of the cherry yuzu cake. The crust was heavenly and the toppings are creative. This one especially, a squeeze of lemon brought the whole thing to another level! The toppings rotate week to week so that adds a bit of excitement. The space is small, but there are tables outside for the summer. The line keeps moving and they are pretty efficient. I'll definitely have to come back for all the other bakery goodies! read more

Ben's Bread is one of the most recommended bakeries in Seattle and we made a trip to Phinney Ridge specifically to try the place out. This was around 9:30 AM on a weekend and this place was completely packed, with all tables inside and out (not to mention it was only a couple of degrees above freezing!) filled, with a line out the door. Luckily, service here is pretty fast and we were at the front ready to order within 10 or so minutes. Gooey Streusel Cake ($7) - This pastry has a salty and tangy berry mixture baked on top. A little too salty for me I think. The inside is sweet, oatmeal-like in taste, and moist, yet a bit crumbly, with apples baked right into the batter. Although it looks similar to, and is described as a "gooey buttery cake" on the display sign, it does not seem to have any relationship to an actual St. Louis style gooey butter cake in either taste or texture. I was a bit disappointed, since I was expecting it to be similar to its namesake. Still it's plenty tasty so it's not a huge loss. (4/5) Blue Corn Cookie ($4) - This is a rather large disk, a bit over 5 inches in diameter, but relatively flat compared to most cookies. It's baked until crunchy in some portions, not quite to a tortilla chip crunch, but certainly reminiscent of one. The interior has an overall very nice chew, contrasted in texture with bits of crunchy corn meal dotting the batter. The flavor is delightfully salty and sweet, a caramelized buttery kind of sweetness. It's almost like a sweet cornbread, flattened, making it denser with more chew. Delicious. I was expecting to like this the least out of the three items I purchased, but it actually turned out to be my favorite! (5/5) Benne Miso Scallion ($12) - Available on Saturday only. The bread has a very nice darkened crust, baked very hard, starting to develop a bitterness, but in this case complementary to the bread. It seems to be a higher hydration dough with a high heat bake, making the the interior exceptionally moist and tender, almost gummy (not a bad thing). The crumb is open and the flavor is phenomenal - it's roasty, nutty, savory, with a hint of allium from the coarsely chopped scallions baked inside. The heat from the oven kisses the sesame seeds on the outside, enhancing the nuttiness even further. (5/5) They had samples of the Cheez-Isn'ts on the front counter which I found to be kind of mediocre. They are extremely salty, moreso than Cheez-It's and I also felt like they were a little stale. Maybe day olds? Ben's Bread certainly serves some good bread and pastries! I will definitely be back to try out more! read more

We stopped by here for the first time, over the weekend. Really busy and bustling in the place. Long line, pretty popular! Here's what we loved: - Though the line was long, it gave us time to look at one of the paper menus that was available at the back of the queue, to figure out what we wanted to try - We got cookies, donuts, and a loaf of their sourdough table bread -- all were really good - Folks working behind the counter were cheerful and efficient. They kept the line moving but were friendly Some notes: - Make sure you enter from the door on the left side, not the front, or you will look like you're cutting the line and have to sheepishly make your way back. It is very narrow and would be embarrassing. I witnessed someone do this. - Street parking. It's a neighborhood spot so if there isn't a spot on the main street, you'll need to find one in the residentials. Things were kind of pricy so we won't be coming here often, but it was a good place to check out new treats. read more

I finally had a chance to go to Ben's Bread! We went by right at 8am on a Wednesday (holiday) and there was already a line of people, though it wasn't out the door. They have a rotating menu of daily schedules and we tried the savory scone, seeded sourdough bread, and yuzu donut. Both the savory scone and yuzu donut were delicious, but somewhat similar to with other top bakeries in Seattle. The seeded sourdough loaf has so soft inside, but wow is it hard to cut! The seeds were also a bit strong because there are a ton of fennel seeds on it. Service was great, but very few seats inside. Also, outside they just have a standing bar (at least in the winter) and parking is tough around this area. read more

Stopped by on a weekday afternoon and most items were already sold out! I luckily got the last breakfast sandwich, which hit the spot - the english muffin was perfectly fluffy and toasted, the combination of which with the bacon was a great complement to the souffled egg. Also got a key lime donut, which was good but nothing wildly exciting. Would love to come back to try the famous homemade cheez-its and to buy some english muffins to take home. Parking was a tad difficult! read more

If there were more stars Ben's would get them. Where do I start? The English muffins. I know - hard to get passionate about these but Ben's are exquisite. Fluffy, warm with butter on the side. Breakfast sandwich. Warmth, freshness combined with fresh fruit eggs. It's good. Show stealer is the chocolate chip cookie with caramel. It's hard to get any better than that combination. We took home the rosemary sea salt bread. Bread is bread? No, here it is artisanal, flavorful and fresh. The line is annoying and hopefully Ben's will get bigger. But - go- enjoy and you will find many other things on the menu that you won't find in Seattle. read more

Delicious breads, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and drinks! Everything is so good and fresh. Staff were nice. The inside is a bit cramped and I could see it getting busy at times. Also since they are so popular be prepared if some items sell out. There is some nice outdoor seating. I especially liked the blue cornbread and sourdough English muffins! read more

This is a super cute bakery with unique pastries and some pretty good bread. It's very popular so be ready to wait in line. English muffins 4/5 good but pricey Lime leaf donut 4.5/5 nice fluffy texture, great cream in the donut hole maybe a tad too tart of icing for me on the donut itself...but I think I will crave this donut Baguette - 3.5/5 a bit overcooked for me, too dark on the bottom Weekend breakfast sandwich 4/5 good but not something I will crave Blue Corn pound cake - 1/5 for me, 5/5 for my husband (I really don't like grainy corn texture) read more

It honestly surprises me that I've yet to write a review of Ben's Bread, given that it's become commonplace to stop here after running/walking the Greenlake loop. I love sourdough and really enjoy everything offered here. The English muffins are excellent, the sourdough table loaf is a staple, and it's always fun to try their seasonal/daily rotating loaves! I've had their breakfast sandwich as well and it's very good too. I don't really see this as a sit-down-and-eat place. Yes there are two tables inside, but the layout of the bakery is tight and eating can feel cramped - especially when it's busy. I also think that the service is good, but really, really slow at times. How much that rests on customers' inability to pick items/pay fast, I'm not sure, but Ben's may want to think about a second register or expansion. As others have said, they can sell out of stuff even early in the day. Prices here are in line with other high-quality bakeries like Seawolf. If you're coming to buy things close to a holiday (Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July etc) know that everyone else is too - so they'll sell out of stuff fast and the lines will be crazy. read more

Quickly becoming regulars here, there's just too many tasty treats to try here! We'd heard lots of people talking about this place, so we decided to check it out for the first time over the summer. We were wowed by the weekday breakfast sandwich on their freshly made english muffins (though the weekend one with sausage is a bit heavy for out taste). Their daily bread options are delicious and I think their rye sourdough is possibly my favorite bread in the city right now. Their donut dough is good, though the fillings can be overly sweet sometimes. We did recently try their homemade cheezits, while $10 is really too pricey, the flavor was great and they had just the perfect flakey texture, with just the right amount of spice. Lines can be long waiting to order and the seating inside is a bit cramped, so I think its a perfect summer place when you aren't in a rush and can just enjoy the tasty treats! read more

Finally visited the brick and mortar in the Phinney Neighborhood this past Monday. I had the day off snd knew it would be the perfect day to visit my friend and I decided to go as she hadn't been yet either, but had worked with Ben at another local restaurant before he started doing pop up. I had been to the pop up window in Ballard and purchased their English Muffins at a bake sale with a number of local bakers. I had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and cheese. Was delicious and of course on their English muffin. My friend had a toasted English muffin with jam and butter. She really loved the Maldon salt the butter she said she didn't even need the jam. My friend had an iced matcha latte and I had an ice latte. Love that hemp milk is one of their alternative milks. The ice are the mini cubes that everyone loves so much. Also had to get some treats to go I grabbed one each of the savory and sweet brioche. I thought they only did the Chez Isn'tz on Thursdays but they're trying to do them more often so I was able to grab a bag definitely one of my favorite items they make . The staff is friendly and helpful. space utilizes every inch well there are couple tables inside and counter seating and tables outside under cover. Am excited to return as I know they do different specials in different days. Love when a space I kickstarted is doing so well and is loved by the community. read more

English muffins and focaccia live up to the hype! Focaccia was not what I was expecting - no pockets of air bubbles throughout the loaf, but it was sooo fluffy and pillowy! I enjoyed it with some balsamic vinegar and olive oil at home. Next time, I would pass on the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich ($7 seems a lot for bread and egg...) and just get the 4-pack of English muffins to make my own custom sammies. I would also pass on the chai, it was a bit bland and not as creamy to my liking. What I can't stop thinking about though is the blue corn cookie! This was definitely not what I came for, but it blew my mind how much I enjoyed it. Thin cookie, with sighting crispy edges, salty like a tortilla chip, sweet like a sugar cookie. I'll need more than one next time! read more

How is this place not 5 stars? I went with my kids and got the lunch sandwich for myself, English muffins, and some fruity bread thing. The lunch sandwich had green olives that taste as good as Santorini looks, the fruit in the jams and magical fruit bready thing obviously grow in some magical portal where even the plants experience utopia. For me this food was so good it's going to be ruff paying for food with such less quality because my lunch breaks aren't near here . I don't know who Ben is but buddy thank you, just thank you you are awesome! read more
