"This West Palm Beach spot originally opened in 2014 but since then it's leveled up with an in-house bakery and an open kitchen. The interior isn't fussy, but the all-day dining menu sure does tempt with its array of baked goods and breakfast sandwiches in the morning and soup, salads, and sandwiches at lunch. There's even a sampling of dinner options that are ready to go home and reheat. The menu is updated regularly and there are always specials but if they have the black bean and tomatillo soup, it's a worthy order. The red-tinted broth is loaded with flavor; sided by two slices of house-made sourdough, it's a satisfying meal. The roasted veggie sandwich spread with goat cheese on ciabatta is another winner, but don't leave without a sweet like the bold and bright lemon loaf." - MICHELIN Guide

"If you lack the commitment to invest in your own bubbling sourdough starter, just go to Aioli, a bakery off of Okeechobee Boulevard serving incredible bread. If you’re not in the market for an entire loaf of sourdough, their quick-service cafe has plenty of good daytime options. Aioli’s $15 soup and sandwich deal is perfect for a quick lunch break, especially if you’re boycotting a certain chain restaurant where you have bad memories of being tutored in chemistry over a bread bowl. You might even find yourself looking forward to work as an excuse to go have Aioli’s turkey club and coconut cake. But the smell of freshly baked bread and very friendly service is going to make it hard to go back to the office. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc" - Katie Walsh
"Since opening in 2014, Chef Michael Hackman and his wife Melanie have operated a popular bakery and restaurant in Southend. Saturdays draw crowds, with young families arriving in golf carts for homemade biscuit sandwiches. Early arrival is recommended, as these sandwiches often sell out. The restaurant also caters to grilled cheese enthusiasts with a house-made bread sandwich filled with cheddar, parmesan, and mozzarella. Pro tip: Adding cranberry aioli to the grilled cheese provides a sweet contrast to the sharpness of the cheeses." - J. Miller
