Best Fresh-Baked Bread

Beyond Bread

If you're familiar with Loaf, a short 1991 film that combines bread with John Hurt's most memorable scene in Alien, then you'll remember the tagline: "In the bakery, no one can hear you scream." Well, there's no reason to scream for anything other than joy when you enter Beyond Bread's sleek interior. Not only will you find a vast selection of fresh-baked and ultra-yummy bread; there's also a wide range of specialty sandwiches that bring an exotic touch to top-line cold cuts. We're happy to note they've recently added inexpensive breakfast offerings, including a delightful French toast plate made with fresh cinnamon-raisin bread. They also offer free wi-fi while you nosh, plus free bread while you wait! Who can say no to this dough?
