Bread and Sauce has the feel of an old REM album. Yes, good music is playing inside the place, but moreover the thoughtful and intelligent appointments to the decor only nod to the amazing energy and cate put into the menu and the ingredients. You know when a person makes a sandwich where the ingredients and thoughtfully applied and care is taken so that each bite has the same tasty experience as the others that a place cares about consistency. The tomato was in season and local. You can even buy some rather amazing flavors of hot by Co-Op such as Ramp Finishing -This rich and classy sauce is packed full of sustainably harvested wild ramps for a deep silky finish for all of your grilling and sauteing needs.
And to close…
There is nothing left to throw

Coriander stem and rose of hay
Wow. Like WOW. Amazing food and the hot sauces are incredibly flavorful. It’s not just heat - but flavors you want to taste in the sauce. Cool place with great local finds. If you’re a Chicagoan or a visitor, strongly recommend you stop in and grab a hot sauce for the road. They don’t disappoint!

What an amazing place! My normal bakery was closed, the pandemic caused them to need to take an extended break for the holiday season so they were closed. I had a taste for some quiche and so I put the search into Google and it brought me here. Little did I know that I was going to experience what I experience. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming! The sheer variety of offerings on display was a joy to behold. Yes I got the quiche and it was amazing filled with ricotta cheese and mushrooms. But then they make chili in house black bean and brisket with in-house made vegan cheese. And then the pastries scones and filled croissants it was really spectacular. I will definitely be back!
