Description

Okay, so the Rice Krispies bars are really good, but there are other good reasons to visit this bakery café, one being the "bake" part. You can buy just some housemade artisan bread (including sourdough, multigrain, marble-swirl rye, whole wheat, French country, and a more-crusty-than-usual challah, plus bagels, croissants, and baguettes). Or you can buy a sandwich made on one of those breads. To start off the morning, try the Norwegian smoked salmon and cream cheese with capers, onions, and tomatoes on a bagel. Then move on to the prosciutto di parma sandwich, with mild domestic provolone, roasted red peppers, and pesto sauce on a mini ciabatta - a chewy, crunchy-crusted Italian roll that beautifully soaks up the pungent basil/garlic oil. All lunch sandwiches come with a terrific pickle strip and chips or a seasonal salad; potato was good but - attention, vegetarians - full of surprise bacon. And of course to finish it off, those Krispies bars....
