Editorial Review for Baker's Crust Bread Market – by Charleen Pine
The Scene
Bright and airy during the day, this bustling brasserie moodily dims the lights come evening. Everyone seems to eat here: office workers and power brokers for lunch, families for dinner and first dates later at night. The somewhat confusing reservations policy can be summed up thusly: Call early or expect to wait during peak dining hours.
The Food
Served on your choice of gourmet breads, generous sandwiches are available throughout the day. Layering sliced chicken breast, raspberry cream cheese, apples, and veggies on a fruit and nut bread is just one of the ways the staff creates flavorful, textured combinations. While the entrees can sometimes be bland, the artisanal breads and decadent desserts are where Baker's shines. Made-to-order, the dessert crepes--from the light Citron to a heavier hazelnut-chocolate--are big enough to share. The question is why would you?

Insider Tips
When to GoBaker's Crust serves breakfast seven days a week but mid-week is the best time for eggs and toast so you can avoid the rush of leisurely weekend diners.
Know Before You GoIf you don't have time for a sit-down meal, pick up dinner on your way home. Whole, rotisserie chickens with mashed potatoes and green beans are available for a reasonable price.

Never been disappointed in the dozens of times I visited either for lunch or dinner. I always walk away with a to go bag as the bistro sandwiches are huge. If you are looking at some artisan bread sandwiches or some interesting alternatives like a boule with fresh soup then this is the place to head. They are always crowded so be prepared to wait or just time it off the lunch and dinner prime times.
Pros: Great bistro food
Cons: Crowded (but that is good right?)
