| - My favorite State Street area restaurant. What sets them apart is the great choices for those of us who like fresh foods. I can go in and choose from several options that feature various breads, salads, cheeses, hummus, etc. I've been there a dozen times and tried many of the vegetarian menu options, and have yet to be disappointed.
I went yesterday for breakfast, and got the fruit platter with a bran muffin. The muffin was so tasty it didn't need butter, and the fruit was freshly cut, nicely presented, and very good. For people who richer fare, there are plenty of choices as well. People at other tables had omelettes and other eggy things that looked and smelled great. All the baked goods are really good too.
You've got to be ready for a line during a good portion of the day. The place is popular and you order at the counter, so there's often a back-up at the register. There's one little spot where you go to order, come back to pick up your food, ask for coffee refills, and get you water, flatwear, etc. Obviously, this spot gets very crowded. But once you get out to the main section with the tables, everything is informal and comfy.
Bottom line is, excellent food in a cafe-type setting, but best to avoid rush hour.
