I Love Arcade Bakery’s Quinoa Loaf So Much I Had to Put a Monthly Limit On It | Bon Appétit
"Inside the nondescript office building at 220 Church Street, a bakery fills the sidewalk with the scent of freshly baked bread and is known for some of the city’s best carb offerings — notably ham-and-cheese sandwiches and croissants, a standout mushroom sandwich, chocolate croissant, and a seeded baguette. Its signature Quinoa Loaf is especially praised: tangy sourdough notes, a thick, nutty crust, and an airy, bouncy crumb studded with quinoa and flaxseeds; deep and complex yet substantial without being dense or dry, wholesome without being preachy, and free of unnecessary dried fruit. It pairs simply with olive oil and salt or butter and works both savory (mayo and sardines, avocado) and sweet (labneh and jam). Made in very limited quantities (about five loaves on weekdays) and costing around $7, it’s often reserved in advance." - ByAlex Beggs
