The Baker's Mark is located along a surprising block that, to me, had been hidden by the large ice cream franchise next door. Finally, I found them after several months looking for a new sandwich shop.
The interior is quaint but works perfectly for the design as a local bakery fused with a submarine sandwich joint. You can either order ahead of time or use one of the well-designed electronic kiosks to order in-store. There is no indoor or outdoor seating, which is fine for most Pearl people who are always on the go. However, I would love to see a few cute bistro tables outdoors, especially if they could be shared for a value prop with the next-door businesses.
Their menu is not large, which is ideal in my opinion. You can, of course, peruse hot and cold submarine menus, but do not miss out on the seasonal specials that highlight change and unique flavors. I was blown away at how fast my order was made and called, especially compared to Break Bread, which can require waiting as long as twenty minutes during the lunch hour.
I will definitely be back. The buns are SO GOOD. I would, however, recommend eating your meal as soon as possible, since the soft bread has a tendency to get quite soggy and soaked after several minutes.
