Known forsourdoughbrunchgastowntoast

A family-run sourdough sanctuary in a gorgeous 1907 building, turning out bread so good that a couple dozen local restaurants buy it wholesale. Order the avocado toast or poached eggs on that house sourdough with a well-pulled coffee. Seating is tight on weekend mornings and a few plates read as slightly overpriced.
