- chefThis is the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in the city, from the pillowy handmade b pat buns, to the sweet glazed pork belly, savory sauce, cheese, and perfectly cooked scrambled eggs – this sandwich is perfect. The staff here and the chef who put together the menu are so friendly, and have been constantly evolving the menu recently. I also recommend the freshly made green juice, the passion fruit shrub, and grabbing a b pat cranberry cookie to go.

Popular Spot, But Price Discrepancy
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The place is very popular and has a divine smell. I had lunch, and it was very good.
Afterwards, I visited the bakery and purchased a cookie. I was initially charged $4. 50 for a cookie that was listed as $3.
50 on the website. When I inquired, the staff member stated, “ya, chocolate chip is more. ” This was surprising as the website clearly indicated $3.
50 for chocolate chip. While it was only a $1 difference, it's the principle of the matter – how establishments treat the customers who support them. The cookie itself was good, but the pricing issue made it not worth it.

Disappointing Lunch Break Experience
I recently started working in the area and decided to try this place. I ordered by phone at 12: 01 PM and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. However, I didn't receive my sandwich until 12: 22 PM, and it had apparently been sitting behind the counter.
The restaurant wasn't busy at the time. To make matters worse, I ordered a toffee cookie but received a chocolate chip cookie instead. This overall bad impression meant I didn't have enough time on my lunch break.
The tuna melt was very mediocre; it was served panini-style and was quite dry.

Best Banh Mi in the City?
My experience at this restaurant was great for grabbing a few banh mi’s to go. While it's a bit pricey, it could be the best in the city. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect 5/5 rating.
