Now Open: aamuse

aamuse, a small extension of ZZest market and café, opened in the First Avenue skyway food court next to Dunn Bros and Essential Juice.

At aamuse, customers stopping by for lunch can look forward to choosing from an array of ready-made meat & cheese plates, salads, pastas and baguette sandwiches (both hot and cold). But it doesn't stop there. End your meal on a sweet note with rich creme brûlée, jeni’s signature ice cream (salty caramel and goat cheese with cherries are just a few of the tempting flavor options), or a pre-portioned bar of fine chocolate. Are you drooling yet? Similar to that of ZZest, the menu items will change week to week, utilizing fresh ingredients that are at their seasonal best.

In addition to their delicious made-to-order hot sandwiches and the appealing grab-n-go items in the cooler, aamuse also sells a wide variety of local and imported artisan foods/gifts such as chutney, jam, olives, spreads, crackers, oils, vinegars, salsa, honey, plus much more. Chocolate covered potato chips, anyone?

Whether it’s for the French-inspired sandwiches or the specialty sweets, aamuse doesn’t disappoint!
