It's hard to improve on the classics, but [Corner Bakery Cafe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commuter-croissant) is taking a stab at it with its new BBLT & Egg Sandwich. Part of its winter menu, the new sandwich is hearty enough for any snow day.

Corner Bakery's new BBLT & Egg Sandwich is a gourmet take on the classic BLT. In addition to [applewood-smoked bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hickorysmoked-bacon), lettuce, and tomato, the sandwich also features fluffy scrambled eggs and a creamy cracked black pepper balsamic mayo. The whole thing is served on Mom's white toast for a delicious breakfast option.

Of course, Corner Bakery Cafe knows that not all consumers are the [breakfast sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breakfast-sandwiches-and-snackwiches) type, which is why the chain is also debuting a veggie-heavy Power Breakfast Egg Bowl and a Pistachio Cranberry Muffin. To round it all out, there's a new White Chocolate Mint Cold Brew made with white chocolate sauce and mint syrup.
