"The Boston parent operation that launched a smash-burger offshoot last year, demonstrating how established sandwich shops have used the smash format to expand or create new concepts." - Jaya Saxena
"Diners at Mike & Patty’s original corner spot can take in the picturesque Bay Village streets while devouring a Fancy sandwich stuffed with two fried eggs, avocado, bacon, and cheddar cheese, or a Carolina Caviar with egg, sausage, and pimento cheese. Over the past few years, Mike & Patty’s has taken over the city with subsequent locations in Somerville’s Bow Market, food hall High Street Place, and a recently opened outpost in Jamaica Plain." - Nathan Tavares
"A longtime Boston breakfast-sandwich authority that began in a shoebox-sized Bay Village shop in 2008 and has since expanded to multiple locations; the team is known for its breakfast sandwiches, operates its own Flourhouse bakery, and develops additional concepts and pop-ups out of its storefronts." - Erika Adams
"Let’s talk about exactly what you might be looking for in a brunch place. Spicy Bloody Marys? Large plates covered in hollandaise and breakfast meats? Maybe a jazz trio playing in the corner? Well, Mike and Patty’s has none of those things. In fact, it only has a single table. But their breakfast sandwiches might be the best in the entire city. So the next time you don’t want a full brunch situation, pick up a Breakfast Grilled Crack (a grilled cheese that’s been upgraded with bacon and egg and adds up to way more than the sum of its parts) and head to the Public Garden with a blanket." - dan secatore
"Ania Zaroda and Michael Gurevich — co-owners of the popular sandwich shop Mike & Patty’s in Boston’s Bay Village neighborhood and the shop’s growing group of siblings — announced today that they’re opening another new spot, Flourhouse Bakery, in Newton’s Nonantum village." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
