Long live the humble sandwich! A former pastry chef at the Chambelland bakery and a devoted bun enthusiast, Gaëlle Daubord keeps busy in her small coffee shop (Formica chairs, drawings and photos by American artists, hip-hop playing in the background), carefully crafting quick lunches on homemade bread. Deserving of high praise the day we went for lunch: a classic BLT taken to the next level with a magical sauce made with tomatoes and cornichons, served with a fresh cucumber, yellow melon and mint salad, or creamed corn with homemade garlic salt. Other options that caught our eye: the vegan sandwich, which squeezes sesame-roasted zucchini, marinated cucumber, arugula and green sauce into white bread; the egg sandwich with cheddar, mayo and pickles; and the grilled cheese sandwich, of course. Craving something sweet? There are mouthwatering cookies, tender carmelitas (chocolate and caramel oat dessert bars) or, for us, a peach, apricot and rosemary tart devoured in the blink of an eye. // Eric Taylor
