"Any day of the week, you can count on Epicerie in Allandale for an epic bakery counter. If kouign-amanns and pecan cinnamon rolls sound too sweet, there’s the hedonistic, wobbly quiche, or the flaky breakfast croissant sandwich that’ll leave your hands shiny with butter. But the Sunday-only brunch menu items—like soft cooked eggs with trout roe alongside a za’atar english muffin, or strawberries with housemade ricotta—are dishes to plan your day around." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
