The people there are so lovely but the food is overpriced and just not good. I got a chai latte today that tasted like iced milk. It's $4 for a really thin bagel with a tiny amount flavorless herb cream cheese. The bagel and lox is SO dill-y, has a tiny amount of salmon and is $8. I think if they were less frugal or cheaper things would be better. The customer service is on point and it's in a really convenient location, but the breakfast menu, at least, needs some work.

First time there and was severely disappointing. I saw that the daily special was a Po Boy, and decided to give it a try. I saw that it was $8.99 on their menu. After getting the sandwich, I want to the register to pay for it, and it rang up $11.99. I was like, "it should only be $8.99." The guy looks confused, walked over to look at the menu, and responded, "They need to fix the sign, it's $11.99. The pastrami is $8.99." Then I went ahead and charged me full price. (Look at the photo, it clearly appears to only cost $8.99). The sandwich itself wasn't that phenomenal. They only put on 5 small to medium shrimp, so every other bite was mostly bread. Overall, an upsetting experience.

Indeed, as I walked past, I knew this is what I needed. Never been here before and may I say, the tomato basil soup is AMAZING!!!

Good taste but medium quality, the french toast is not easily chewable but has a nice taste.

With a name like Bread Line you expect the bread to be the star. Well, this place does not disappoint. The bread is fresh and excellent and the sandwich makings are just as good. I particularly enjoy the Cuban when they have it. With all the great fixings for sandwiches it is not hard to imagine that the bread line does great salads. What is a surprise is how good their fries are. Also, if your around for breakfast their French toast is something to be craved. Lines can look long but move fast.

I happened to be in the neighborhood where Bread Line is and stopped in for lunch today. I ordered the combo of gazpacho (the special today) and fries. The soup tasted of the most amazingly ripe tomatoes - the kind I dream about finding at the farmer's market, but usually don't. It was the perfect blend of vegetables and seasoning. What can I say about the fries? Freshly cut and fried, skins still on, amazing. A guilty pleasure. Finally, they throw in a ciabatta roll with the soup. I told myself I wouldn't eat that after the huge order of fries, but after tasting it I couldn't leave a bite uneaten. Truly fantastic experience and I'll be back.

Used to be my favorite lunch spot when I worked nearby. Despite long lines, service is quick. Soup and sandwiches are best bets here - salads are good too, but only if you like that day's selection. Spicy chicken sandwich and chicken peanut soup are my favorites.
