         While Belvedere Market is someplace that we have frequented throughout our years at Loyola, it wasn’t until recently that Atwater’s became one of our new favorite spots. Atwater’s, located within Belvedere Market in Belvedere Square off of York Road, is one of the best places near Loyola to grab breakfast or lunch! As soon as you walk up to the counter at Atwater’s you see a pile of homemade loaves of bread, a case full of cakes and cookies, a selection of gourmet cheeses, and jars of homemade jams. If you're anything like us, you'll be mesmerized by the homemade, yummy goodness!

Provolone cheese, apple, and bacon sandwich

One of the best sandwiches we ever had at Atwater’s was a turkey, avocado, cheddar cheese, and jalapeno sandwich served on a warm cheddar biscuit. So good! Another awesome lunch item is the arugula salad, made with arugula, shaved fennel, clementines, pomegranate seeds, and shards of salty cheese.
