These guys (brothers Peter and Paul) opened this week and downtown is mostly empty due to the flooding. But they are open for business! They bake their own bread and make their own pastries. We are so glad we stopped in. The owners are so nice and the food is excellent and it’s less expensive than most places. $8 for a spicy pork sandwich. $11 for a grilled chicken with fresh grilled pineapple sandwich with arugula and peppers?! Come on!! Stop in there and support these guys and treat yourself to some amazing sandwiches and treats. They also have coffee! We will be back next week to try more.

I will definitely be back! I got the cinnamon toast and it was DELICIOUS. I know it might sound silly to review toast but a lot of times it’s either floppy and wimpy or so hard and dry it’s unpleasant. I’m not really a toast fan lol. But this one was perfect. Crisp outside and pillowy inside. The topping was exactly the perfect amount. Not drowning in extra syrup or too sweet but honestly the perfect bite and a good balance between sweetness and cinnamon. Really attentive, excellent service in a very clean calming environment.

Really delicious and the portions were very large for the price. We split a pork belly sandwich and a kalbi beef sandwich — both were very tasty, but the beef was the favorite. The fries were amazing, and the honey ginger lemonade was incredibly flavorful. My only small criticism is the pork belly was fattier than I prefer but still was enjoyable. Good cookies too!

The owner was back in the bakery but one I got his attention he was super friendly and helpful, its their second day so he told me about them and their different items. I got the marinated pork belly sandwhich, the kalbi fries, and the lemon cheese cake cookie with a Sac Sac to drink with it. It all costed 17~ with their sale for just opening. The food was really good, and the sandwhich was super tasty good spice and flavor. All the stuffs made there in the back too the bread in the sandwhich was banger got lots of room to sit too and puzzles or games to do

We had such a wonderful experience here. The food was amazing, and what really stood out was how welcoming it was for families. Our toddlers absolutely loved the puzzles and game selection, which kept them happily engaged while we enjoyed our meal.
The kids’ menu is thoughtful and truly kid-friendly, while parents don’t have to compromise—great coffee, flavorful dishes, and wonderfully spicy options made it just as enjoyable for us. And the cookies… absolutely heavenly. We can’t wait to come back.

Where do I start! Service was absolutely incredible, the vibes and atmosphere are so uplifting and positive. We had our three kids 4 and under and they were welcomed., though we did learn there are no changing tables in the bathroom.
Room for the stroller to come in too.
We had fries and the spicy pork sandwich and it was incredible. The sauces were pure magic.
We will absolutely be back, daily if possible.

Nut allergy warning: Obviously, avoid the PB&J and probably let them know about any allergies.
I thought an affordable, quality sandwich shop didn’t exist in the PNW. But when I went to go visit a friend in Mount Vernon, not only did I find a very reasonable one, but they have affordable matcha and coffee to boot? I would be a regular if I lived here, no doubt about it.
The pork belly sandwich (5/5): Rich, tender, juicy, the perfect filling amount for lunch.
Mochi cream donut (5/5): Take a Boston creme and eliminate the randomness you’d get from a dry pastry dough. Chewy, creamy, somewhat sharable since my sugar tolerance is low but it’s not too sweet either.
My friend said his beef sandwich was a banger (no photo, he finished it too fast).
I was so lucky that they opened recently and I hope they continue this level of quality. Stop by on the drive through. Would recommend.

Worth it! I’ve now had the Fried Chicken, KBBQ beef, and Spicy Pork sandwiches. Was not disappointed in any of them. Generous portions and exploding with flavor. The bread tastes home made, especially the brioche bun, and I appreciate it.

A knockout sandwich experience.
We came to this place on a whim, and MAN were we blown away. Get an egg sandwich with buttery bread and a thick slab of egg. Get the salted caramel doughnut that is a full crème brûlée experience in doughnut form.
They have some minor kinks to work out, the spicy pork sandwich bread was a bit too toasty, the pork belly sandwich might need a different bread, but overall we were flabbergasted by the quality and price of this place! Will be coming back often.

Looks like a new place. I just ordered my food to go so I can eat it on a hike. Will report on the flavor shortly but it was a nice experience ordering. Hard working staff and very pleasant. They don’t accept tips.
