Do they make their own bread for the sandwiches or are they a cake and dessert type bakery? Anyone had the Curry Chicken Salad?

I don't have specifics such as whether they bake their own bread but it always seemed to be high quality fresh bread. The Curry Chicken Salad was one of my regular sandwiches, it is very good and an excellent summer time sandwich I think. From what I recall it can get a little crowded with the limited seating so go early or plan to take it to go and sit outside on a nice day. Let us know what you think.

A friend raves about the squash soup--an occasional special on Thursdays, I think. I had a nice piece of salmon the other day with a side of cucumber salad.

Wed Apr 23 19:15:25 -0700 2008 3621775 78285 sifsw 4 3625822 I stopped in today and picked up an Empire. Decent sandwich. Sadly, they don't have horseradish for the roast beef. Also, the only "fresh" bread they had were some baguettes. The guy working there said they came from Pigalle.
