The cheddar jalapeño loaf is a standout, described as the best bread ever. Their breakfast sandwiches are phenomenal, with the jalapeño cheddar sandwich and the bacon, egg, and cheese on sourdough receiving particular praise; one is called the best in the area. The chorizo con pappas is also noted. The sandwiches feature flavorful, buttery sourdough, fresh herbs in the eggs, plenty of cheddar, and options like turkey bacon. The coffee is a perfect cup.
