1. Fitz and Starts
Queen Village
If we had to sum up Fitz and Starts in just one word, it would be “community.” Not only do they make food from scratch using ingredients from local food purveyors, they support their workers by being a One Fair Wage establishment. There’s a strong emphasis on baked goods like buttery almond croissants and blueberry-lemon scones, but they have artfully constructed sandwiches for lunch and generous platters for dinner as well. The half roasted chicken covered in buttery Française sauce is a great choice for dinner and goes perfectly with the peach and cucumber salad. It feels good to know you’re eating well, while supporting living wages and benefits for employees.
