South Street Under: A Modern Herndon Bakery Surrounded by Old Town Charm

November 5, 2015 by

Originally an extension of Leesburg staple Tuskies, South Street Under has come into its own as a popular casual eatery and top-notch bakery. Ideal for a quick lunch, this hidden Market Station gem has received attention for the bite of their airy, moist, yet crisp ciabatta, which accompanies an array of warm and cold sandwiches on the menu, including classics such as the rueben, BBBLT (triple the Bs, triple the bacon) or the popular chicken ciapini, topped with havarti cheese, spinach, tomato and zesty pepper mayo. Treat yourself to a hot cup of the soup du jour, including a mystery “Chef’s Surprise” selection on Thursdays, or warm up with one of their daily regulars, including hearty beef chili and vegetarian fan favorite potato-leek.

For early birds stopping in for a snack on the fly, consider pairing a jumbo éclair, moist blueberry muffin or any of their other tasty baked good offerings with a hot cup of coffee to go. Not stopping at handheld pastries, South Street Under is also known for their signature truffle cake, layering ribbons of chocolate truffle cream with dark chocolate ganache and your choice of fillings.
