Favorite Five: Breakfast Sandwiches


I love a good breakfast sandwich. Below are some of my favorites that I’ve had in the area:
Eckerlin Meats goetta, egg, and cheese sandwich
This simple pleasure is served at the butcher’s counter on a bun for $3.50 and it’s one of the best things around — breakfast sandwich or not.
Location: Findlay Market

Maplewood Kitchen & Bar Breakfast Sandwich
Egg, Eckerlin goetta (of course), Vermont white cheddar, roasted garlic aioli, and tomato jalapeño jam on 16 Bricks ciabatta roll. This sandwich is complex and so, so good. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had. (I get it without greens and with jam on the side.)
Location: CBD

Cheapside Cafe Breakfast Sandwich
Fried egg, bacon, and pimento cheese on multi-grain bread. Pimento cheese. Need I say more?
Location: CBD

Gomez Salsa Brunch Turtle (yes, a turtle is a sandwich)
Your choice of brunch turtle (I got the Spicy Chorizo) stuffed inside of a tortilla and waffle tostada, served with a side of their signature hot syrup.
Location: Over-the-Rhine

Sunny Side Brunch breakfast sandwich
Egg, cheese, and choice of meat on sourdough (made with Eckerlin Meats, of course).
Location: Food truck
Honorable Mention: Cafe de Sales breakfast croissant; MOTR breakfast special bagel; Sunny Deli breakfast croissant
