can also choose from a wide range
of croissants – from the recognizable
butter and chocolate croissants, to

comes with Swiss cheese, chili flakes,
and Kalamata olives.

items on the menu, such as a
lox and cream cheese bagel, or an
egg and cheese croissant sandwich.
“I really love breakfast food,” said
Magor, who developed the menu him-self.
