Grand Central Bakery - Eastlake cafe

Two of us ordered:
Sandwich - Hazelnut Pesto Chicken Salad $14.25
Turkey Deluxe $17.45
Americano $3.90 16oz
Latte $6.95 16OZ Hazelnut ($0.90)

Food was ok and on the pricier side. Coffee was fine. 3 star experience for food, but +1 for the friendly staff.

Street parking only. A ton of construction going on.

The wait for a sandwich is really long, the sandwich isn’t very big, and the music is very loud, had to eat in my car because I couldn’t stand it. They also pressure you to tip. I’m not tipping if I have to wait 20 minutes for a sandwich.

Lucky to find this true gem. Reminded me of visiting a European bakery. Atmosphere and food...thumbs up!

Dietary restrictions: Visited with my daughter. She commented on the nice vegan and vegetarian options.

Parking: Visited during construction. I bit hard to get around and find parking

Great breakfast sandwich, I had to go back the next day for another one. There is no rush to go in the morning because they serve it anytime. Great tuna melt, grilled cheese and the bakery is good too. Coffee is great.

Stopped by this morning for a matcha latte and veggie quiche. Both were fantastic! Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was calm though they were quite busy. I could smell their baked goodies from at least a block away. I'll definitely be back!

Prices are getting outrageous, made me immediately regret tipping for a takeout order. Update: Pickup experience was also not that friendly. But food was really good.

Echoing so many reviews here - I try to support local businesses, but when it takes 35 minutes for a $10 biscuit , that’s when you lose me - not once, not twice, but three times I have waited this long - no apology. Nothing. I gave benefit of the doubt.

Literally, what is going on guys? I want buy local but this is insane. Local Eastlake customer lost and word travels very fast in local groups…

I was told when I ordered that it would be 15-20 minutes for my food which I was ok with but I ended up waiting 45 mins for an ok sandwich. If I'm going to wait that long I expect to be impressed with what I ordered.

Came into today to order an English muffin sandwich. Waited close to 25-30 mins without my order as I saw other people come in and get theirs well after I ordered. I do not understand what took so long. Like I was forgotten. When I finally got my order, no “sorry for the wait” no nothing. Food was bland and not worth the time at all. Or the price. This is my Karen moment.
