MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

This indie hot spot with a retro-chic décor and cool staff has many things going for it. First, there’s the team, who’ve already struck gold on the city’s dining scene. Then there’s the location, inside the former Heller’s Bakery, which was an age-old local institution. And finally, there’s the food, featuring tempting baked goods in the morning, quiches and sandwiches at lunch and a full dinner carte at night.
In addition to the irresistible baguettes and sourdough, there are daily bread specials. An uni grilled cheese slathers raclette, caramelized onion, and fermented chili powder between brioche; while a labneh roasted vegetable salad is wholesome with cauliflower, carrot, and chickpeas. A citrus savarin with almond liqueur makes for a divine finish.
