Simply outstanding!! Runner and Stone is so much more than a bakery. Its breads and pastries are on another level but its provisions are my go to. It's my favorite bakery for the following: Buckwheat baguette is unrivaled and as close to France as you can get. The provisions: Restaurant quality prepared eats like cucumber gazpacho and mushroom bolognese plus trout spread. This is another level. It's Round Samp x100. There's a new pastry the chocolate scone with fruit pieces that's the best scone I ever tried! When it's pie season theirs will knock your socks off. Can't believe I never reviewed R&S because I am literally obsessed with this place and if I lived closer I would be there on the daily.
Runner & Stone is one of the finest restaurants with great service, amazing lunch and dinner menu's. Their Coffee and Bakery is exquisite. They make fresh pasta that is a must. True Farm to Table with a cozy atmosphere and a great wine list. I highly recommend for lunch, dinner or their delicious coffee/baked goods.
Omg this place was so good. My best friend took me to dinner for my birthday and was it a great! from begining to end pure perfection. Great wait staff too, she was divine!
Runner and Stone was our go-to brunch spot pre-pandemic, and then we moved away. We returned last night for dinner and cannot recommend this place enough! The staff are incredibly warm and helpful, and the food was outstanding. We had the hummus, vegan caesar, and crab-stuffed jalapeño apps. Then we shared a pasta, the steak, and fried chicken. All were so delicious. They have great beer and wine options and are experimenting with some delicious cocktails. You should really head here for dinner, not just brunch.
Upon coming into the restaurant, the first thing I noticed was the nice modern design and ambiance. I ordered the mortadella sandwich at the front, and the service was great. The workers were super kind. After sitting down, my sandwich came soon after. The sandwich is a perfect size for lunch, filled with fresh ingredients, huddled in soft foccacia-like bread. The ratios of the components were also perfect. It was definitely quite expensive -- $16! But I have gotten used to these prices in the city. It was a great spot since there was a lot of seating available, but it is not a place that I would go out of the way to visit again.
We just discovered Runner and Stone after moving in nearby, and I'm so glad we found it!! There's lot of seating and it's super cute-- not to mention the chocolate brioche was SO GOOD. I've only been during the day for baked goods, but love that everything is made in house. Even the ice tea was perfect :)
I just happened to come by here for pastries on my way to Whole Foods and this was such a great find! Their classic baguettes are made with sourdough - and have that classic chewy texture of sourdough. Took one home and it's so good with butter. The canelle is also very good - I've seen these but never had one before. Was very pleasantly surprised - crisp on the outside but chewy and soft inside, a mild bitter taste but complemented with a sweet tone. This is the first time I've had monkey bread too - which the server told me was like fried dough - but theirs taste a lot like a cinnamon roll! If you're around the area and need some sweets/bread, definitely take a peek here!
