mmm-yoso!!! has another post for you to peruse this day. This one is written by Cathy, since Kirk is enjoying some time off.
Back in 2015, I noticed this humble building when leaving Kokoro after lunch. Family owned, operated and supported since 2012, Bear Buns Bakery features home-baked goods (nothing fried), organic coffees, espressos, frappes, teas, a few other beverages (including housemade lemonade), all-day breakfast sandwiches and paninis (after 11). Quiche and stratas are available on weekends.
Walk up, order, pay and your food and drinks will be brought to your table inside or outside. 
This day, The Mister and I decided to share a Ham and Swiss panini (45). It comes with pickles and dijon mustard. The focaccia (baked here) looks chewy and heavy in this photo. In reality, it is quite light and crispy. The ham, cheese pickles and mustard make each bite quite perfect. A great sandwich. 
The all-day breakfast menu is to the right of the cash register. You can get your sandwich on a focaccia (or bagel or croissant (for an extra fee)), we go with the Housemade roll. 
This is the "Bella" ($5)- looks small; is very tall and actually a shareable sandwich.
Pesto, bacon, Provolone…
spinach, egg and sun-dried tomatoes. Again, this bread is light, soft, fresh. A great sandwich.
Of course, we had to end the meal with something sweet. The cinnamon roll (with icing, $5.25) was the choice this day. 
A soft dough, cream cheese based icing, a better quality cinnamon. Not too sweet. Wonderful.
A great, local business. Other bloggers have been here, too: cc was here back in 2016 not long after Mary had visited.
