    Try the Oatmeal-chocolate bread from our 100 Best list: There was nothing molecular or fancy about these thick slices of homey, chocolate-studded cake. There was, though, something special about them.

    Great gourmet sandwiches and the offerings change daily. Pork belly is a standout.

    Friendly staff, good food. Great place to drink a cup of bottomless coffee and nibble on a salad or sandwich (which change regularly)
