Too bad they misspelled Tucson…
I love Beyond Bread!!!! They have the best scones!!!!
Too bad they told me to go screw myself when I asked them to put up a NO GUNS sign…
Family restaurant, my a**!
I don’t really get all the hoopla surrounding Beyond Bread, but nevertheless I am proud of a local joint making it.
ChetDude: Correct me if I am wrong, but the gun sign thing only pertains to establishments serving liquor.
