The van

A bakery the size of a van

Everything is baked in small batches and brought down to Arrival Square for the weekday lunch run. There is no second branch and no wholesale line, so what is on the counter at 11:30 is what there is. Regulars know to come early; the melts and the focaccia are usually the first to go.
