Bread Is the Foundation of the &grain Menu
Fresh bread does more than fill the bakery shelves. It shapes much of what we serve.
Our baguettes, ciabatta, pain de mie and 5-grain breads provide the foundation for many of the sandwiches on our breakfast and lunch menu.
The Harvest Turkey Club on 5-grain bread.
The Apple Baguette with brie and house-made pickled red onions, and the Ham & Brie Baguette.
Even breakfast highlights the bakery: our Baked French Toast starts with thick slices of pain de mie baked in vanilla and cinnamon custard.
That connection between bakery and cafe is an important part of &grain. The bread isn’t simply served alongside the food. In many cases, it is what the dish was built around.
