This place is great for a quick bite to eat! The downtown location in the Simmons building definitely is bigger and has more options on their menu, while the one in Kensington doesn't have as much for hot food, but their bakery selection is almost the same as the one downtown.
If you like sourdough, go here. Period. I dare to say that I (GASP) am not really a fan of sourdough, but I've had it here being used as a sandwich and omg yum. In the Kensington location, they have a sandwich of the day, 1 vegetarian and 1 meat option, same goes with pizza. It can be sometimes a hit or miss, depending on what you're looking for that day. I haven't come here often to know whether their cold salads go out in rotation, but I have a feeling they do. The duck noodle one is superb though.
The Simmons building has more options and the backdrop for the this location is super rustic-industrial type setting. If you've been to the Simmons you'll know what I'm talking about. They have many more sandwiches to offer as well as a stew and soup of the day. Their baked goods section is also slightly bigger filled with both sweet and savoury desserts. With almost every meal that you order, you get a slice of their famous sourdough bread. And, with a little bit of butter, it really goes with almost everything you order (I even got one offered to me when I ordered a sandwich). I had their albacore tuna sandwich with a side soup (carrot & butternut squash) and it was a definitely a big lunch that got save some of it for part 2 at a later time.
Above all, TRY THEIR CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS! One of the best in the city, in my opinion.
