Hi-Rise Bread Company Description:
Along with Formaggio Kitchen, this artisanal bakeshop and all-day café makes Huron Village a miniature gourmet ghetto not unlike that in Berkeley. Owner Rene Becker thoughtfully studs brown bread with dried blueberries from Michigan, makes a yeasted cornbread, and re-imagines the Oreo. Though the amount he charges for sandwiches has earned his company the nickname "Hi-Price," they're worth every cent, generously stuffed with topnotch curried chicken salad or house-roasted turkey, spread with freshly made hummus and mayo, layered with hand-cut bacon and fresh herbs, and so on. An inlaid-pebble floor, long wood-block common table, and shelves lined with imported condiments---as well as a small selection of boutique wines and liqueurs---define an airy space from which you can watch bakers roll dough and mind a grand French oven. If it weren't for the notoriously sour attitude of the gen-Y staff, you might think the Hi-Rise one of the most civilized spots on earth.
