The menu here is a testament to wholesome, fresh ingredients, perfect for breakfast enthusiasts and lunch lovers alike. Start your day with one of their enticing Breakfast Bowls, featuring the Yo Way! Greek Yogurt with seasonal fruits, granola, and nuts—a meal that perfectly balances nutrition and flavor. For a classic breakfast dish, try their Farmers Bowl, which doubles up on breakfast potatoes, eggs (easy or scrambled), and a choice of ham, sausage, or bacon to fuel your morning.
For lunch, the offerings are just as tempting. You can build your own salad or grain bowl to suit your cravings or dive into a satisfying Burrito Bowl packed with brown rice, black beans, tender chicken, fresh lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream and salsa.

Don’t skip the sandwiches—each one crafted with care. The East P Club Turkey sandwich, layered with avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato on multigrain, is irresistible, as is the FCB Grilled Focaccia filled with cotta salami, basil, mozzarella, and more. Vegetarians will enjoy the Veggie Friend Portobello on ciabatta, which is a flavor-packed option worthy of any palate.
