This week, bread lovers and Irish alike can grab a hearty Irish Soda Loaf ($7), snag a few tasty Irish Soda Scones (mini: $1, large: $2.75), or enjoy an Irish-American inspired sandwich.
For lunch, patrons can dig into The Tri-Colored Corned Beef Sandwich for $9.50. The double-decker creation with corned beef, chopped veggies, and a wedge of Irish Soda Bread on the side.

These Irish creations are available all week at Baker Street Bread Company’s Chestnut Hill Bakery and Café.
On St. Patrick’s Day, Urban Farmer, located off the historic Logan Square, will be offering two delicious Irish specialties.
