| - I wasn't aware Bronze Cafe had added a second location in "The Market" but was invited for a Chef's Dinner Tasting & Brunch Tasting via Facebook. I invited two of my friends both whom are not vegan & I'm mostly Vegan but sometimes eat fish. We were greeted with a warm welcome & an explanation of the food items available & a slight history of Bronze Cafe by Chef David Mozes. We were served their delicious freshly squeezed orange juice along with coffee & water. All 3 were wonderful. A perfect way to start a meal. We were given four choices to sample from based on David's recommendation. We had the Vegan Fried Chicken, Salmon & Shrimp, Steak, & Chicken. The steak could've been cooked a bit more as it was pink & tender & slightly raw. The chicken was tasty but nothing super spectacular. I really enjoyed the Vegan Fried Chicken. It had a curry flavor to it with a bit of a kick from the spice added. I thought it was cooked properly & held great flavor & texture to it. The salmon was tender, cooked just right, with a nice glaze. I would definitely recommend trying it. The sides they served with the entree including sweet potato mash, cous cous, kale, spinach, rice, etc. were all great compliments to the meat.
We ended our meal with dessert offerings such as blueberry pudding made with rice milk & chia seeds and an Almond Marscapone cheesecake. Both vegan & made in house. Both delicious. The service was good, the price was what you would pay for healthy made in house fresh food ingredients and affordable.
The Brunch we decided to do on a Monday morning. We were greeted & served with freshly squeezed orange juice & coffee. Both amazing as I had remembered them from the dinner. We were told the chef would be bringing out four different dishes, his choice. We were delighted to try out the vegan options as I rarely see anything other than vegan pancakes, potatoes, waffles, fruit, and muffins, so I was curious to see what they had whipped up. We tried beignets with a vegan fried chicken, chilaquiles with vegan cheese & tofu, tofu scramble instead of eggs, and a hot soup looking dish with a mixture of hot spices surrounding red & green bell peppers & onions. We really wanted to try the griddlecakes with vegan apple sausage but I will grab that next time I visit. The options we were presented with were great. My feedback would be most people don't usually eat tons of spices & hot sauce early in the morning. As you're just getting your day started to overload your stomach with spicy tomato based sauces & peppers isn't easy on the digestive system so I would normally include more carbohydrate based foods to balance it out. Less spices. Three of the four dishes were very similar in style & texture so as we were sampling them we felt like we were eating the same dish just a different plate. I really loved the chilaquiles especially for the vegan cheese. it's filling, appetizing, and easy to eat.
I would definitely come here again. It's a nice little cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee and a meal for anytime of day. The service is friendly, welcoming, and excited to have you as their guests, and being mostly Vegan I am happy to have this place as an option. I appreciate being invited for the Chef's tasting as one of their loyal customers to the Maryland Parkway location it's always nice to try new menu options & additional locations. Thank you for having us.
