Lovejoy Bakers
Pearl DistrictA bright, high-ceilinged Pearl District bakery where the bread and the pastry case do the heavy lifting: fresh loaves, a deep run of morning buns and cookies, hot breakfast, and lunch sandwiches on their own bread. Great North Coffee pulls the espresso, with outdoor seating that fills first on a sunny day. Come for the bake case more than the coffee.
The order
Order from the bake case first: the molasses ginger cookie and a morning bun with orange and cardamom both get named again and again, and at lunch the turkey-cranberry sandwich on toasted house bread with crisp bacon is the one to get.
