Delicious! It's a little in a pricy side imho but really tasty 😋 we got the baguettes 🥖 and pastries and a bacon cheddar croissant and sausage biscuit that were all really good. The sausage in the biscuit is thick if you are a sausage person.
The highlight was sweet potato tart was so dang good I regretted not buying more.
The almond croissant was also very good.
The pecan sticky bun and biscuit was a little dry but could be the time of day we went.
Overall good experience and would go back again soon.

Grand Central Bakery bakes their bread daily and they offer some excellent loafs, but you can also get amazing sandwiches there too. The Blue Ribbon is a particular favorite. It's a salty cold delight perfect for a warm summer day and is best enjoyed on a park bench or under a tree. When eaten ice-cold there is almost the perfect sensation of eating a wedge salad at a fancy restaurant. The thinly sliced roast beef and blue cheese mayo highlight each other and the freshly baked potato bun adds a semi-sweet accent. We added havarti to the Blue Ribbon on a whim when the option presented itself and

This place was outrageously delicious. I was in heaven the moment I saw the dessert presentation. I felt like I was a kid in a candy store and I couldn't select what I wanted. I finally narrowed it down to the Bread Pudding and oh my!!!! They know how to make a delicious one. Normally it is overly moist, however this one had a crisp top and the inside wasn't overly moist. Delicious.....
