text: Braved rush hour Tuesday my oneway trip there took more than an hour to stock up on bread before the shop closes in observance of Passover and left wondering why I even bothered at all I even risked having a handyman wait for me while I fought traffic to rush home to meet with him I was told by Ben that Funky Monkey came in two sizes and lb weight loaves but only had the smaller loaf to purchase that afternoon Also the baker there was not as helpful nor as understanding with my allergen ingredient questions than Ben was From now on I will only visit if Ben is there to offer up a more amiable approach to customer servicennTodays purchasesnn Sweety Wheaty loaf plus tax sliced to order I specified sliced to serving size oz and I am glad that the machines calibration was set so that the resulting slices were even thinner more slices than specified serving size amount Got To find ways to cut down caloriesnn lb Funky Monkey loaf plus tax I suppose the cute packaging is useful in giftgiving but I prefer the packaging treatment given to those loaves sold at Whole Foods first wrapped in parchment paper and taped then wrapped again in a beautiful and classy brown bag with store logo and nutritional info decals Granted those loaves I buy are of the lb variety which incidentally are currently marked up by at least I think Definitely get these at SB Of course WF store hours are much more useful to those of us who cannot visit SB during its business hours ap Mondays to Fridaysnn Tasty and gorgeous esp the pepper focaccia rolls each nonherbed and sundried tomato Both have great toothiness and surprisingly rich and complex favors yet are a bit too salty esp the tomato The nonherbed which touched the paperside of the bag they were both sheathed in did leave a HUGE grease stain the entire width and length of the roll which indicated a hefty amount of butter andor oil was used in the recipe I am glad to see the grease stain on the paper bag actually as this showed that less of the grease made it into my digestive and cardiovascular systems The sundried tomato roll was touching the plastic side of the bag so I detected less grease stains emitted but I am pretty sure it was also fatladen bec it just tasted so buttery and simply utterly sinful Oh my I cannot wait to go back and get some more but only when Ben is there to assist me
