PROS:
- lovely, lovely pastries and croissants. grab a croissant and meander down Queen Street to the Dark Horse to get a coffee on a nice summer day. perfect!
- the wait isn't ever too long. that being said, there is ALWAYS a wait...it's just not that bad of a wait
- patio!
- decent prices. $8.75 for the croque madam, the tart du jour and the quiche du jour (which all come with a salad and baguette w/ butter).
- light, refreshing meals. i don't ever feel heavy after a meal at bonjour brioche. especially good for hot summer days when you just want to have something light but still filling
- there are always three tart du jour choices and three quiche du jour choices. lots of variety to choose from!
- always really friendly and helpful service. always.
CONS:
- the space is small, which means it's squishy in there. be ready to bump elbows with the people next to you
- because there is always a wait and the space is so squishy, i feel compelled to eat quickly and get out fast. i know this doesn't have to be the case and that i can take my time, but that's how it feels to be in there
FAVOURITE ORDER:
the croque madam! packed full of flavour (the ham and the gruyere make that happen). it's brioche that the sandwich is made on, which is so buttery and heavenly.
(if you are looking for something lighter though, i would choose one of the tarts du jour!)
