We then got the sweetbreads with chanterelles and a sweet potato puree, it was amazing. Third course was an amazing salad. The pasta with pork with perfection. The poached salmon was lovely.

Hayward is nicely remodeled and decorated. There are bar seats, booth seats, table seat and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is surrounded by lush green plants. There is a tasting menu for $98, but the items are undisclosed, left to the chef to chose so I didn't go with this and ordered a la carte. The bread is served warm, soft, oiled, so good. So good that I ordered a 2nd piece. Probably best bread I've had. The food is good. I wish they had more red meat options though. The cod is probably the best entree item from a consensus. They also have the cutest match boxes. Portions are on the small end. Street parking.

Yeah - If you like tea, or exploring tea flavors, you need to go here!…read moreI was visiting from out of town and on a whim, went into this store _just_ before closing ... where the proprietor reassuringly told me to 'take my time'. The variety of tea choices was almost overwhelming and clearly the owners had a tea connoisseur's interests in mind when creating the shop. I found a great tea blend that I've turned into an iced tea - perfect for summer sipping! Yes, the shop had gift options that support both the lower and higher end budgets (important to me!). The only thing I wish was different is that I'd found the shop earlier in the day so I could spend more time there.

Awesome BLT! Especially if you like a lot of bread.

Bacon was perfect, not too overdone, and it all came together nicely. TBH, the bread kinda overpowered the fillings, but so it goes. Came with a lovely mixed green salad, small, but much appreciated. Service was quick and to the point, bathrooms clean, and indoor ambiance homey and chill, good enough for a quick bite but nothing to linger in. Also? No WiFi. Bummer for a coffee shop.

So we saw Carlton Bakery and they delivered on the veggie options. We both ordered local mushroom sandwiches without meat and a couple of croissants all to go. The sandwiches came with small salads with radish and soy beans (very tasty). I probably could have bought half the items in the store as everything looked delicious. The sandwiches were tasty, good bread which was lightly toasted. The croissants were very good as well, pretty close to those in France. It took about 5-10 minutes for our order to be ready. The service was great, friendly and quick. I'd definitely return to Carlton Bakery in the future.
