Granola and sandwich

Pressed carrot and apple juice pairs perfectly with a half order of their unique texture tuna sandwich from Parsley.  The tuna is mixed with ginger, miso, black sesame seeds, red pepper aioli and sesame oil spread on their housemade ciabatta with organic cucumber, onion and tomato.  Yummy :)

Plate score: 9.5 The only down side is the juice is almost $5 for 16 oz

Wooden spoon bakery opened this summer on the corner of 32nd and Zuni next to Pasquini's and across the street from Duo.  This past weekend, i finally decided to stop in after reading about their granola on 5280's food blog.  Behind the antique display case were freshly baked croissants, muffins, tarts and quiches and a display fridge with beautifully decorated bite sized cheesecakes, brownies, citrus bars, carrot cakes and cupcakes.  I purchased a mushroom cheddar egg sandwich on a toasted brioche bun and their pricey granola ($6.99 for a small bag!).  The egg sandwich was nothing special mostly because i don't enjoy egg beaters and I'm in love with masterpiece deli's roasted mushroom and egg sandwich on an english muffin, a place that uses real eggs!  In general, most granola i usually eat have the prominent cinnamon and honey notes but Wooden Spoon Bakery does theirs differently.  They mix in freshly grated lemon zest and raisins both before and after the granola comes out of the oven, resulting in a fresh citrus flavor.  Don't know if i can consistently shell out $7 for 2 cups of granola but it could be a nice treat once in while.  Nevertheless, I look forward to trying their baked goods some time soon!
