Signature English muffins served as delicious breakfast sandwiches.
"Vinal Bakery in Union Square serves up the best egg sandwiches in Somerville. The biggest differentiator is their homemade english muffins, which come out of the oven piping hot with a perfect crust and moist interior. The Miss Maple egg sandwich is easy to love, with its sweet spread of maple butter, as is the more classic Sausage McVinal. We often stock up on a four-pack of english muffins to try all their flavors (the oat sesame and anadama are especially good, but pay special attention to their rotating seasonal flavors, like the potato chive or corn jalapeño). Just know two things: they tend to sell out before noon on weekends, and you should plan to eat your breakfast at one of Union Square’s many public parks, since seating is limited." - tanya edwards, lala thaddeus, catherine smart

"Vinal Bakery in Union Square serves up the best egg sandwiches in Somerville. The biggest differentiator is their homemade english muffins—they're nothing like the leathery pucks you’d find at a corporate conference breakfast spread. Rather, they come out of the oven piping hot with a perfect crust and moist interior, kicking the ass of the stodgy rolls at Target next door.

"Now at home in a storefront in Union Square, Sarah Murphy’s Vinal Bakery got its start as a pop-up at Bagelsaurus in Porter Square. (See above.) Murphy’s English muffins and pastries gained a loyal following, and now she has a space of her own where she’s serving English muffin sandwiches, coffee, tea, and more. Try a Sam-I-Am with egg, garlicky spinach, and dijonnaise, or an American Classic with egg, American cheese, and salted butter." - Nathan Tavares
"Known as a fantastic stop for a breakfast sandwich, Vinal Bakery has launched 'Vinal at Night,' a Monday-only summer takeout menu offering burgers and pizza from the takeout window, with beer and ice cream available from the general store next door; the bakery is open from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., while the general store stays open until 8 p.m." - Erika Adams
