Bread Butter & Jam

Bread Butter & Jam sits at 24/2 Devis Road, right where it meets Bodakdev Road. We thought the name explained what we do well enough. It’s mostly simple stuff like sandwiches and tea. We aren't trying to be a five-star restaurant or anything like that. The chairs don't all match and the menu is written on a chalkboard that we smudge sometimes. People come in when they want something quick that isn't too heavy. We go through a lot of loaves of bread every morning. The delivery guy usually drops them off before we even open the shutters. We have a small toaster that works hard all day long. Sometimes it gets a bit smoky in here if we leave a slice in too long. We just laugh it off and start over. It’s a neighborhood spot, really. You see the same faces every Tuesday and Thursday. We know who likes extra butter and who wants their crusts cut off. The floor has a few scuffs from all the feet coming in and out over the years. We keep it clean, but it looks lived in. That’s just the way we like it. It’s not a place for a fancy date, but it’s good for a chat over a cup of chai and a snack. We stay open until the evening rush dies down and then we head home.
