Nine months after moving her upscale takeout business from Narberth to Bryn Mawr, Pinwheel Provisions’ Anjali Gupta is holding her own in a charming new location—so much so that she’s taken things to another level with the new Wich Way Sandwich Bar. Manned by former Nectar chef Colin Mason, the kitchen offers a seasonal breakfast and lunch menu of sandwiches and salads with a global flair. Options include a French-themed baked egg on croissant, Scandinavian-style open-faced sandwiches and a few British-style selections.
We tried the hearty Ploughman sandwich, with artisan ham, aged cheddar, tomato chutney and pickled onions. The colorful roasted carrot salad is perfect option for vegans, and savory soups include a smokey roasted red pepper and tomato and a minty pea. You can also grab ready-made dishes for the microwave, reheatable full meals frozen fresh, and a variety of sauces, spices, dry goods and pastries from local, small-batch producers. 860 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr, (215) 728-9893.
More Nibbles: Koren’s Kitchen has taken over At the Table BYOB’s former Wayne location. Owner/chef Koren Draper offers lunch on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m, along with prepared meal deliveries, catering and cooking classes. 11 Louella Court, Wayne, (610) 214-3588.
Brought to you by the owners of Philadelphia’s Trattoria Carina, Carina Sorella made a quiet debut earlier this summer. The seasonal menu features pasta, pizzas and classic Italian dishes. 866 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr, (610) 596-9166.
Swarthmore has a new go-to bakery in Pastry Pants. Along with croissants, baguettes, cupcakes, cookies, breads and pies, look for signature specialties like lemon polenta cake, gingerbread, caramelized pineapple cake and more. 10 Park Ave., Swarthmore, (610) 328-3963.
West Chester’s Taco Mar now has another location in the former Frazer Diner. You can’t miss it—just look for the whimsical Mexican-themed art on the exterior. 189 Lancaster Ave., Malvern, (610) 321-3990.
