We've had a lot of pressure to expand our food menu here at the Spoke and so far we have resisted for a couple of reasons. Coffee is our number one priority. We make each cup to order. Our coffee featured in the final of both the Western and National Canadian Barista Championships. Our beans are never more than 14 days old. So if we take that kind of pride in our beverages how can we simply throw down a snack on the side that was made the day before or off site. Put simply, we can't, and finding food to accompany our coffee has been a challenging and delicious ordeal. We started with our muffins about a year ago, we baked them ourselves in batches of six from scratch. We sold six our first day and we were up to 12 within a few weeks. We sell about 40 a day now, and usually they are purchased while they are still warm from the oven. 
So anyway, this week we introduced our sandwich menu. Short and concise but fresh and delicious. We get our meat and cheese from Runges, the German deli on fourth and for anyone who has yet to go there i highly recommend it. This week we are rocking just the meat and cheese selections but next week we'll bring in the Tuna and a vegetarian option. 
Pop in and check them out.
