Everyone loves a good sandwich. For meat lovers, you can’t beat a cubano. This sandwich of roast pork shoulder, ham, dill pickles, and Swiss cheese is grilled to perfection. For a hearty breakfast try our chicken and egg club sandwich, which brings crisp greens, oven-dried tomatoes, roasted chicken, peppery bacon, and a fried egg together on a poppyseed bagel. Vegetarians don’t have to miss out on the fun—our portobello burger with blue cheese and sautéed red onions is loaded with flavor and packs a satisfying umami punch.
A salad is a great accompaniment to a sandwich. If you’ve been to a casual Japanese restaurant, theres a good chance you’ve had a salad with a vibrantly orange dressing. Made with carrots and fresh ginger, it’s a light, refreshing dressing for iceberg lettuce. Or leave the lettuce behind and try our German potato salad with bacon, onion, and a vinegar and bacon fat dressing.
Once you finish your main course, it’s time for dessert. Graham crackers are a classic snack that make for a pleasantly light dessert. Breadfarm’s graham crackers will convince you to never use store-bought again. For something more substantial—but still surprisingly light and airy—try our carrot cake with walnut flour and crushed pineapple, covered with a coconut cream cheese frosting.
