I haven't spent too much time around Eastlake, but on a beautiful Sunday morning I decided to try a new coffee place! At around 10 AM, a line was growing out of Grand Central Bakery. They have a limited drink menu and a ton of delicious looking bread and pastry items. I got a chai and also a coffee cake, which size wise, was huge. The chai was on the sweet side but really spiced so great. The coffee cake was amazing. I forgot to take a photo until I had halfway finished it so...read full review
The long awaited move! Grand Central finally moved across the street to a bigger location. With the upgraded, comes with more customers. More often than not you’ll see the place PACKED before noon, with a 20 minute wait on seasonal sandwiches.Pros: reliable, consistent, fresh baked goods. Kind staff, bright & welcoming environment.Cons: not cheap, long wait for sandwich, too upbeat for quiet studying, chairs are not best for long term sitting.

I want to love this place because it’s a neighborhood spot and their food and coffee are pretty good. But their service is SO unbelievably slow even with like 5 people behind the counter. Of the 4 times I’ve ordered a sandwich here, it’s taken almost an hour (once longer than an hour) though I’m always quoted 15-20 min. If they would tell me it actually is going to be an hour, I wouldn’t have ordered.
