Frommer's Review

City Bakery offers comfort food that manages to be delicious, nutritious, and ecofriendly. Its salad bar is unlike any other in the city, where the integrity of the ingredients is as important as the taste. This is health food, all right -- roasted beets with walnuts, glistening sautéed greens, lavender eggplant tossed in miso -- but with heart and soul, offering such favorites as French toast with artisanal bacon, flavorful mac 'n' cheese, tortilla pie, and smoked salmon with all the trimmings on Sunday. The "bakery" refers to the plethora of sinful desserts; kids love the spinning wheel of chocolate and the homemade marshmallows. One caveat: It's a bit pricey for a salad bar, but oh, what good eats!

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
