Delightful breakfast sandwich spot!! I had never heard of a bakery that specializes in English muffins, but Leadbetters absolutely excels at building the most beautiful English muffin sammies. The muffins themselves are quite large and robust (perhaps 1.5x the size of a standard grocery store English muffin), and they feature your standard white or whole wheat muffins, as well as a ton of options with fun flavors infused. You can get the muffins plain or topped with just a pat of butter or jam, but they also have the most amazing selection of sandwiches. I opted for their avocado toast, which comes with a generous portion of super fresh mashed avocado, pickled onions, and sprouts. I also added on some scrambled eggs for extra protein, and they were great — super creamy, rich, and just the

I’ve stopped by a couple times and felt compelled to leave a review after my most recent visit. I had the Smoked Salmon sandwich (everything English muffin, cream cheese, smoked salmon, pickled red onion capers and some seasonings): it was the best smoked salmon sandwich I’ve had, bagel or otherwise. It was just incredible. I cannot recommend it enough. My wife and I also love their cinnamon raisin English muffin with the homemade jam, the raspberry jam is just wonderful. Overall: they have top notch English muffins and great baking here, and now I’ve learned can put together the best Smoked Salmon sandwich. Highly recommend for a casual breakfast/brunch!

An awesome addition for breakfast and pastry options. These are the most delicious English muffins I’ve ever encountered— with different innovative flavors. My favorite might be caramelized onion or might be ginger apricots or plain delightful ones?! Packaged into a succulent egg and sausage sandwich and I melt just like their melted cheese… bring a bag home for toasted avocado treats in the morning … but throw in a huge slice of blueberry banana bread or apple turnover and you’d be all set!! Super kind and gregarious staff — big hi to Jamieson and Nikko. We’ve got a favorite spot in the hood!

Had no idea an English muffin could be so good. Pastries are stellar. Excited for Castro to have a yummy bakery!

Got the breakfast sandwich but was kinda disappointed since the bread was kinda tough and the sausage tasted like it was a frozen store bought sausage. So I’d give it 3.5/5. Maybe it was a bad batch but I would like to come here and try again maybe one day.
