Sandwich Reviews

The Place: Bay Village Coffee 221 Bay Street 286-0278 The Price: $8 The Basics: English muffin, egg, bacon, cheddar cheese, tomato, tomato sprouts, butter, mayo The Lowdown: The breakfast sandwich has become a staple for many in the mornings, and Bay Village’s contender more than holds its own. All the expected (some would argue, essential) ingredients are here—egg, bacon, and cheese between a sliced English muffin—but this handheld also adds tomato for a tangy zing and mayo for that extra richness; the tomato sprouts are also a very nice touch. What really stands out is the freshness of the ingredients—the egg and bacon are prepared to order and the large slice of real cheddar cheese cuts deliciously right through everything. Owner Gary Mack says the breakfast sandwich, while a recent addition to the menu this summer, is already a big hit, and it’s not hard to see why. -Review by Matt Prokopchuk, Photo by Darren McChristie
