The Coffee Box offers affordable upscale sandwiches

The taste of the breakfast sandwich makes up for the lack of variety.

In Maryville, there is a small drive-thru café called The Coffee Box. They are best known for sourcing all of their products 100% locally, within 50 miles of each location. I ordered their original breakfast sandwich because I wanted to see for myself how fresh it was.

I went through the drive-thru on a Sunday afternoon and was in and out.

The employees were friendly, and the sandwich was made to order.

The breakfast sandwich is an English muffin topped with an egg, fresh spinach, tomato, gouda, and garlic aioli. The muffin is toasted to perfection with crunchy edges. The egg is well-seasoned and goes fantastic with the gouda cheese.

For an additional charge, I added ham, making the total cost around seven dollars. The added meat made the sandwich a filling meal.

This breakfast sandwich exceeded my expectations.
