Wraps, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, salads, pizza’s, the best breads and desserts. This place has a line for good reason. Our favorites are the model wrap, apple butter horn and the peanut butter cookies. It’s also a great place to grab a baguette for your picnic and right next to the fatted calf where you can get amazing meats for a charcuterie board. Outside seating only.
