Mike and Patty’s

Mike and Patty’s is a breakfast sandwich shop that has grown from a single tiny storefront in Boston’s Bay Village into multiple locations. Breakfast sandwiches are the specialty, and the shop aims to serve quality, satisfying food to anyone with an appetite. Its own pitch is that if you mention breakfast sandwiches in Boston, a hungry sandwich seeker will likely be pointed toward one of its shops, and it calls itself the city’s highest-rated breakfast and sandwich shop.

The original shop opened in 2008, started by two friends, Patty and Mike, who had worked together at South End Formaggio. On New Year’s Eve 2013, Ania Zaroda and Michael Gurevich took over as owners, a change that marked the start of what is now a growing hospitality management group with multiple craft-casual brands. The shop still embraces its small scale, referring to itself as “Your Tiny Sandwich Shop.”
