Great soup and cinnamon rolls
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

08/22/2006 Posted by spudsocks

This is one of my favorite places for lunch in the whole city... the soups are always tasty and a meal with a soup, side salad (get the viniagrette) and lots of bread is extremely reasonably-priced. If you're there on a day when there's mushroom soup to be had, you're a lucky individual because it's completely delicious. There's a whole case of baked goods, all tempting, but the cinnamon rolls are some of the best in the city, very bread-based, which I like, and don't have frosting to hide behind, just a tasty sugary glaze. The cookies are always highly touted but I've found them to be a bit dry--I'm the moist cookie type.

Pros: Delcious food, good place for lunch, MUSHROOM SOUP

Cons: Often a line during lunch that can take a while
