TLDR:
Awesome grab 'n go style breakfast and lunch place. Healthy choices abound here. Great also for just coffee/lattes/cold brews too.. Friendly service with solid choices to satisfy your tummy or for that kick start in the AM.

To the locals here, the Sunset District on the Western end of SF is also known as "The Avenues". Enter now this cozy little grab n go eatery of the same name.. I love the small town beachside vibe here.. and the food and service make this place a slam dunk whenever I feel the need for a relaxed breakfast. Enjoy your meal on the benches just outside of their store!

..you'll find that familiar reclaimed wood aesthetic embellished with surfboards, surfing magazines and actual surfboard wax for sale. This look may seem played out to some, but here just a block from the beach, it really is appropriate given the locals like me who have made this place a regular morning haunt. To get here, there's a decent amount of perpendicular parking on the block outside, or additional parking around the block. Transit? The Muni's L-Taraval light rail brings you right here.

Offerings here span from imaginative upscale takes on Euro pastries, beautifully executed sandwiches that include Viet Bahn Mi and Italian-inspired Paninis, Salads and much more. Check out the menu photos! They are also well known for their Hawaiian-style Musubis with various breakfast fillings. I'm not much into Spam, and felt like I needed a few greens in my lunch, so I chose to have their Turkey, Bacon and Pesto Club Sandwich instead.
That Turkey Club was awesome! Served on sourdough pressed and toasted, it's really a Panini sandwich though the menu makes no mention of that. The sourdough served as the perfect vehicle for the yumminess inside, beginning with a perfect amount of deli turkey, finished with bell peppers, fresh arugula for greens, a touch of onion, a delicious dijon cheese spread and a dash of fresh lemon vinaigrette. I ordered without the bacon to try to make this a reasonably healthier choice. I'll definitely get this again, but maybe substitute chicken breast instead of the turkey just for kicks. I have to say, this was one of my most memorable totally yummy sandwiches in a long time!

Yep.. I'll be back again for many more visits. Salmon & Egg Musubi next time, or maybe a Korean Glass Noodle Salad and that Horchata Cold Brew I wanna also try.. So many choices..
