Yeah, upscale toast is still a thing, thanks mostly to the folks at this Mount Vernon Triangle bakery and hangout. They make their soft-textured pain de mie loaves every day, then top them with an array of sweet or savory combinations. Start with a slice slathered with rich, drippy peanut butter and topped with Sriracha and cilantro, then have another—laden with Nutella, butter, and shards of Maldon salt—for dessert.
