Eat this breakfast sandwich at Gelateria Coffee Co. on South Grand

If grab-and-go breakfast is what you’re after, the assorted temptations offered by Gelateria Coffee Co.’s pastry cabinet are sure to have something to satisfy. However, if you have the time to indulge in a little morning escapism, order one of chef-owner Andrew Fair’s breakfast egg sandwiches and grab a table on the garden patio at this Tower Grove South institution while the kitchen makes your sandwich from scratch. Pillowy, golden-brown brioche is the vessel for an elevated start to your day, with a slab of soft scrambled egg, white cheddar and spicy mayo coming together for the Classic, a sandwich whose comforting texture belies a sharp edge. We recommend adding thick-cut bacon or layers of ham for an extra twist. An alternative option features spinach cooked with the egg, Swiss cheese and salsa rossa. Available until
11 a.m. every day.
