"The crown jewels of this Phinney Ridge bakery are the tangy sourdough english muffins, which are springy with a tender crackle, and taste even better in breakfast sandwich form. Ben's is stuffed with egg soufflé and crispy country ham (or bacon, depending on the day) that shatters into a million pork chips on each bite, and it's perfect if you're a breakfast sandwich purist but you also happen to watch a lot of The Great British Bake Off. On Saturdays only, you'll find a fancied-up version on brioche with greens and fontina, but we'd sooner brave the slightly shorter weekday line for that english muffin." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
