I've have been salivating over everyone's sandwich posts that have been popping up all over my social media and now that i have been here it is easy to see why this spot is so beloved. Buccan Sandwich Shop is part of the Ember Group's collection of restaurants led by Chef Clay Conley and his partners, Sam Slattery and Oliver "Piper" Quinn. In 2011 the team opened Buccan, a fine dining restaurant in Palm Beach. In March 2015. Members of the Trump family, Michael Jordan, Martha Stewart, and Travis Kelcoe and Taylor Swift have been spotted dining there. In 2015 the original Buccan Sandwich Shop next to the restaurant on South County Road opened. It was inspired in part by Conley's college days and quickly became known for its gourmet sandwiches and salads, the signature beef carpaccio sandwich, and the decadent chocolate chip cookies. Eventually the sandwich shop concept made its way to West Palm Beach. In February 2023, the second Buccan Sandwich Shop opened as a takeout window next to Conley's former restaurant, Grato, on South Dixie Highway. Free street parking is available which is always appreciated. More recently, in May 2026, the Ember Group opened a third Buccan Sandwich Shop alongside sister concepts Buccan and Imoto on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. While the beef carpaccio sandwich may be their top seller, I was in the mood for meatballs. The house made meatballs are adapted from the ones served at Grato. The meatballs are packed into a fresh, crusty baguette with marinara, pesto, and gooey melted mozzarella. It was an Italian dream fulfilled. You can order the sandwiches on their own or upgrade to one of their adorable lunch boxes for just a few dollars more. The lunch box includes your sandwich, house made potato chips, a chocolate chip cookie, your choice of beverage, and a pickle. All together it makes for a hearty lunch. There's no seating at this location but a grab a box for your next gourmet picnic. There are several parks nearby where you can enjoy your meal outdoors. For a takeout sandwich spot that has been here for several years, Buccan is still very popular, and the line can get pretty long depending on when you visit. Pack your patience because the wait is worth it. I loved my meatball sandwich and lunch box and look forward to working my way through some of the other sandwiches on the menu.

Third time was truly a charm as the cheese just really ties all the sweet and savory flavors of the balsamic onions and lemon vinaigrette together. I got the box lunch that comes with a nice juicy pickle, crispy house chips and a delicious chocolate chip cookie and a drink. It was enough to have left overs. I usually get the ginger lemonade but this time I switched it up and tried the half and half (Arnold Palmer) which was made with the perfect amount of tea and lemonade. Everyone enjoyed their lunch so it was a success as usual. Until next time!

I got a box of 6 pastries for the family. When I tell you everything is made from scratch and your taste buds can tell, I mean it. Here's the lineup: passion fruit kouign-amann - give her the 10s. This was hands down the best pastry we got. It has a nice caramelized crust (like a croissant) that balances the passion fruit filling's slight tartness. Seriously, try it. orange olive oil cake (loaf) - ok, the candied orange on top is DELISH. The loaf is moist, not too sweet, and the orange zest really gives it a flavor close to a loaf I had in Santorini! Vanilla bean custard: tastes like a pastel de nata- an excellent one at that. This filling is silky, creamy, and dreamy custard. Carrot cake croissant: this is like taking a bite into the fall season. Great croissant, and the filling is literal carrot cake with cream cheese icing. The spice profile is so warm and cozy. Raspberry hibiscus vegan bundt - I loved that you could really taste the floral note with the raspberry. I can't believe it's vegan! It is just as soft as the olive oil cake. Raspberry cheesecake danish: It's good. The raspberry jam is clearly made fresh (peep the seeds in it), cream cheese layer pairs well with the jam. But it falls short relative to the other pastries in the box.

I had a cold roast beef sandwich with horse radish sauce. My friend had the turkey sandwich which she loved. Apparently she is a regular. She rarely finishes the sandwich so she took the other half home for dinner. There is a reason why it was fully packed both inside and outside. The food is great.

I got the chicken soup that was really tasty & great for a cold day. I also got the very salad. It was very fresh with dill, peas in a light vinaigrette.

Yum!! There's a few tables to eat in. Very quiet & they serve wines from all over the it's a great selection Next I'm in Palm Beach I'll sure visit.

I asked for a mug again and they said I had to pour it in myself due to it's too hot to carry? The mug comes on a serving plate .. that's what the plates are for to carry it. They maybe had last issue of people spilling or burning but you don't throw away the common sense experience of drinking out of a mug vs coffee fist in a wax lined / plastic cup. The whole experience is lost and the name means Pure Life.. this is like in nyc where all the cvs shelves are locked up because of a few criminals. Instead of dealing with the problem the problem is passed down to everyone. I went to Maman for my second cup because Puta Vida would not refill my glass cup without first putting it into another throwaway cup. The waste. Such a beautiful place and yet this one simple thing to me is away from core values of a business. My two cents .

We both looked at the last slices and after deciding to take them home, we instead couldn't resist and ate them. Very reasonably priced, under $20.

I just want to touch base about my most recent visit to Lenora's. I've been to this location about three times. This is the location on Dixie Highway. They have open air seating, which is really nice on most evenings. This particular evening we arrived about 30 minutes before they were scheduled to close more like 35 minutes before they were scheduled to close at 10 PM. It was a Friday night. We ordered a pizza and the rigatoni with mushrooms and cream sauce and I wanted to add a piece of salmon to it. After we sat down, my boyfriend's pizza came out in about seven minutes maximum. It was piping hot. The cheese was kind of sloppy and all over the place. It didn't really look like it was made with love. But he said it was good. My food however, took about 20 to 25 minutes longer than his pizza did. He was done eating his entire pizza before my food came out. That's never a good situation. They could've at least warned us of that, or let us know that that would be the case if they didn't realize it until they started making the food. There were only two other tables there. Once my food did come out, the salmon that I added for protein was almost $15. Obscene! I could get almost 3 pounds of salmon for that amount. It was maybe a 6 ounce piece maybe. And when they brought it out, it was raw in the middle. So I had to send it back and that was not met with a positive attitude, even though we brought up the issue with a very positive attitude despite having to wait almost 30 minutes for me to even get my food after my boyfriend had finished his pizza. They brought the salmon back and when they returned it, the employee was very pleasant and asked if I wanted to check it first. I ended up eating half of the pasta and packing the rest up to take home because by this time it was a few minutes after 10 o'clock and we didn't want to sit there as the only table left when we knew that they were obviously ready for closing time. One thing I must say is that I think divine intervention kept me in a great mood because they played my favorite journey song, they played my favorite song of all time, which is Tears for Fears. Everybody wants to rule the world, and then they played Bob Seger, who is definitely the artist who would've been my boyfriend or at least my celebrity crush had I've been born a few years earlier. Anyway, that's me giving it to you Straight No Chaser. Enjoy!

The cocktails were amazing (the one with Desert pear and compari - i dont remember the name - was exceptional). We got the grilled carrots appetizer and clams. Those. Carrots. Perfectly charred, incredibly delish. The clams more than made up for the subpar mussels I had elsewhere the night before, too. My husband got the BBQ pizza and was very happy - both for dinner, and for the next day's lunch. I got the chicken parm, and also had plenty for a large lunch the next day. (and the green beans that came with were also JUST the way i like them - not overcooked, garlicy, and delish). Zero complaints. We won't be able to navigate a second visit this trip, but would 100% put it on our to-dos the next time.

We came straight from the Palm Beach Zoo and so our cold crisp beers and Espresso Martinis were soooo refreshing. We tried the Hummus Plate and Kung Pao Fried Cauliflower and loved them both. The hummus had feta cheese mixed in and thick toast, almost like a Texas toast, to accompany, plus salty green olives, . The cauliflower wasn't too sweet and had a good green dipping sauce. The menu has a lot of comfort food like options. For mains, we had the mini "Big" Brekkie (fried hard), Fish and Chips, and Mushroom Toast. They were good. The payment was a bit glitchy. We wanted to split the bill and my friend basically gave up trying to figure out how to pay with the table QR codes. I tried to change my wireless to the restaurant's after the "Confirm" payment button was non-responsive. Finally, our server let me pay with the station and my friend Zelle'd me half. Isla & Co describes itself self as a taste of Australia and is oriented toward coffee, brunch, lunch, dinner and cocktails. The inside of the restaurant is bright and very echoey. It's filled with green plants.

We also got the Aussie Chicken Parma and it truly was the best I've ever had and I'm picky with chicken parm.

We also loved their draft beer selection and the Hugo Spritz was more refreshing than usual as it had fresh citrus! The vibe is comfortable and relaxed without feeling forced. But the service and experience felt really upscale and curated! Definitely recommend this place for any occasion and I'm already planning our next visit!
