This tiny spot in Mill Valley is known for their Chopped Chicken Caesar Wrap. It may be the perfect lunch item on a hot day: get it to go but don’t wait hours before eating it. They are only open Wednesday through Saturday from 9-2:30, so it might not be the most convenient for people with jobs, but it is worth it.
