A new soup and sandwich shop opened Monday in downtown Hyattsville.

The full-service deli also has a number of salads and sides including coleslaw, southern potato salad, tossed cranberry and kale and a pasta salad option. Soups include a Maryland crab soup and potato broccoli.

They are serving artisan bread sourced from different vendors difference sources, and every third Thursday of the month a hand-carved oven-roasted turkey is available .

If you are looking for something sweeter, they offer a wide selection of deserts including classic chocolate chip cookies, deep dish Southern sweet potato pie, as well as peach cobbler cake. As for coffee, they they’ll be serving a variety of coffee from around the world including Cafe du Monde.

Between the Bread is the first location for John and Toni Pinkney, who have worked in catering and other areas of the food industry for more than a decade.

They told the Hyattsville Wire that they decided to open the shop when April Richardson, who runs D.C. Sweet Potato Cake, asked if they wanted to take over the spot when she moved her location.

John Pinkney, a lifelong Prince George’s resident, said he bought his first car at the Lustine Center in 1963.

Between the Bread is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturdays. A grand opening will be held in April.

And if you stop by tomorrow, John Pinkney said they’ll be offering a pound cake and coffee sampling.
