“ BLTG was my goto and their lattes hit the spot. Cant go wrong with their breakfast sandwiches either, the cooks are always on point. I liked to call ahead so I could just swoop in and get my food hot and fresh without a wait. The owner is a sweet person too. As a student at Laney I was somewhat of a regular and when I told Uncle I was moving away for school, he graciously made me a delicious mango smoothie on the house and wished me luck! Cant wait to make it back to the Town to visit this gem! ”
