A twist on the traditional American bagel shop or bakery, this soup, salad and sandwich shop spawned from its German owner's well-fed affinity for pretzels. Hannah's (named after the owner's daughter) offers two organic twisted options: Swabian bretzels, which Hannah's recommends spicing up with a sweet or savory spread. (See: Nutella!) The other option is the whole grain bretzel, which the shop uses for its gourmet sandwiches, layered with anything from prosciutto to ham and Gruyere to cheddar, with cucumber and watercress. Carboholics will find these home baked goodies distant relatives of the empty calorie version of pretzels that we're used to buying at the store.

Besides sandwiches, Hannah's offers homemade muesli, a barley and veggie-based Swiss "Bundner" soup and salad spruced with Green City Market pickings like sunflower and sesame seeds. Drinks range from hot or iced drinking chocolate, organic coffee and teas to dozens of posh bottled beverages including Pom, Stonyfield and Naked smoothies, and Lorina's French lemonade.
