FAN FAVORITES

Whether you’re fueling up before work or stopping by for a quick and convenient lunch, here are a few favorites our regulars can’t get enough of:

  • BEC Breakfast Sandwich – Crispy pepper bacon, a farm-fresh egg, and melty cheddar on a soft, freshly baked roll.
  • Frittata Brioche Breakfast Sandwich – Fluffy frittata with roasted peppers and herbs, tucked inside a buttery brioche bun.
  • Mushroom & Goat Cheese Egg Bites – Earthy shiitake mushrooms meet creamy goat cheese in these rich, poppable bites.
  • Almond Crinkle Cookie – Soft, nutty, and dusted with powdered sugar. A little crunchy, a lot delicious.

Cinnamon Sticky Buns – Warm, gooey, generously glazed, and just the sweet treat you’ll want every morning.

“The lamb leg chermoula pita pocket from Iris Mezze was honestly the best pita I've ever had! The lamb leg was super juicy, flavorful and crispy. The margherita pizza from Gatto's was also much better than expected — the mozzarella was super fresh and the sourdough wasn't too heavy to slow me down for the rest of the day. The staff is all very accommodating and the interior is beautiful and kept very clean. 10/10 would recommend for lunch in the financial district”
