| - Like a previous reviewer, I'd just gotten blood work done down in the plaza and was looking for somewhere to eat breakfast. I'd heard from a family member that Bartram was pretty fancy, but the cafe prices weren't absolutely outrageous.
Upon entering, I found the decor to be beautiful and modern. The desserts in the cases looked sophisticated and decadent.
The breakfast menu was pretty extensive - I couldn't decide between the crepes, eggs benedict florentine, or french toast. I typically love homemade crepes, and my cashier said she liked theirs better than their french toast, so I decided to go with the bananas foster crepes and a small coffee.
I think I was in the mood for something sweet, but not THAT sweet. The three crepes came out promptly, but were completely submerged in 3/4 an inch of syrup. They also had a *very* sweet cream cheese filling that was just too much on top of the syrup. The taste was good but way too overwhelming, I could barely finish two bites of one crepe.
So all-in-all I think based on my experiences and others' reviews the cafe items need improving. I'm sure their bakery items are delicious, but to be honest I felt a little nauseous after consuming so much sugar from a few bites of that crepe dish. Next time I'll order something savory and add a bakery item to go!
