| - Cafe Bon Bon is on the short end of being gone gone from my dessert list. When we went, it's still their soft opening and they still have their promotion - 10% off + free ice cream (when you post your food/drink on social media). You can find this on their website.
Dessert 2/5
----------
We ordered the souffle pancake as the concept intrigued me. The dish came with 3 souffle pancakes (instead of 2 I see from the photos), a side of ice cream, and a few berries. Now, I'm not a souffle expert by any means, but I do know that the egg whites shouldn't be visible. It seemed like the egg whites and batter weren't folded properly. Unfortunately this was the case here. The souffle pancakes were consistently fluffy, but when you cut through it, the inside is still a bit underdone and you can notice chunks of the whisked egg whites. I do think they could have added a bit more powdered sugar on top to enhance the taste, but I will say the souffle pancake paired really well with the tea-flavoured ice cream.
JAS TIP: the souffle pancake does take about 30 - 45 minutes to be ready, so don't go in with an empty stomach or take advantage of the promotion ;)
Verdict: Despite a disappointing souffle pancake, I do like the overall concept of the dish. I'll say this dish is high risk, high reward (It does cost $14). If made correctly, this will taste really good. As for their "soft opening", I wouldn't recommend it until they work on whisking those egg whites. Skip over that and try their other dessert.
Drink 4/5
----------
I've been craving for match green tea iced latte this whole week, so there was no doubt I was going to order when I saw it on the menu. It seemed like they took their time in making it as the drink looked stunning. The added foam on top was a nice touch to the drink. The drink wasn't too sweet which was great because you can really taste the bitterness from the matcha.
Verdict: if you're looking for a cold tea drink, I'll give this latte a try.
Service 3/5
----------
I didn't encounter any major issues with their service. The latte came with less ice as requested, waters were frequently refilled, the waiter took our orders with no issues, and they were approachable. I wouldn't say they provided exceptional service, but it won't be something you'll complain about after you're done.
Atmosphere 4/5
----------
The decor in the cafe is pretty amazing and sets a really nice mood when you step in. Everything seemed very elegant and cute-looking, living up to the bon bon standard. I will say that the washroom is quite small, making it a challenge to move around, especially when you want to avoid stepping on wet spots left behind by those who have trouble aiming.
Overall, the soft opening promotion is definitely a nice incentive to give this a try. Perhaps I'll come back to try their food, but for dessert, that's questionable.
