Sourdough melts

Crispy sourdough, gooey cheese pulls, and inventive toppings. The Bricklayer’s Melt is already a local legend, and our Whipped Ricotta & Cherry Tomato Confit on the Sunrise Melt truly brings the flavor!

Soups and bisques

From creamy classics to bold seasonal specials, our soups are the heart of the house. Try our Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl or our rotating soup options for a cozy new favorite.

Soup’s on, and it’s never been better.

Available in 8 oz cups, 12 oz bowls. Served with our Brick & Butter toast.

  • A velvety blend of ripe tomatoes, fresh cream, and fragrant basil, simmered low for depth and balance. Tangy, smooth, and comforting, this silky bisque is finished with a swirl of cream and a crack of black pepper.

  • A rich, velvety blend of sweet Maine lobster, slow-simmered with aromatics and finished with a splash of sherry for warmth and depth. Creamy, indulgent, and layered with coastal character.

  • Sweet corn, tender clams, and hearty potatoes in a creamy New England-style broth.
