The bakery is an excellent place to pick up many baked goods such as breads, rolls, and pastries that are all baked fresh daily. They basically have more sugar and treats in this amazing store than is believable. There is also a sandwich bar, and if the baked goods seem too expensive, a half price rack day old rack is in the back of the shop.
Great place for coffee and has free wireless internet (accessible from the side street outside for after hours).
Wifi
Offers exceptionally good bacon and other smoked meats alongside their deli fare.
Not affiliated with the Upper Crust chain; their pizza is incredibly good.
