| - Please Bonbon, I really really really want to give you 5 stars...
This is my alternative breakfast/brunch weekend stop. Here's the wrap-up of my last few visists:
Pros:
- Great coffee. Great service. Great decor and ambiance. Good pastries. Love the location, and it's usually not extremely busy like other brunch spots. We usually have the same server, who remembers us and that we need coffee asap. She's awesome and honest about items on the menu. Speaking of awesome, the french toast with berry and corn compote is delish... however needs more butter/syrup/compote--or something!
Cons:
-Small portions. The sauces are usually delish, however the sauce to meat or sauce to veggie proportions are VERY off. I always have to ask for extra honey with the yogurt/granola dish, as not to have the yogurt completely dry out in my mouth. The avocado burger was extremely disappointing as the pastry bun tasted like dried cardboard and the burger was so dry I couldn't eat it. There was seriously nothing on it but greens, meat and a slice of avocado. Hmpf, this could've been a great burger with a little something to add flavor. The breakfast nachos were more of the same. Great concept, however very dry and could be awesome with more cheese/pico/salsa/etc. The french toast is definitely worth ordering, however you will need more of the compote or add syrup, as it is dry as well. The cornbeef hash was different than any other I had ever tried, however it was good, in a Bonbon type of way. I usually eat every morsel on the plate here, and wished I got more for what I pay... Again, very small servings...
I've eaten at Bonbon several times, and will probably continue to do so, but I have learned exactly "how" to order to get what I am looking for. I feel like the restaurant is very very close to 5 stars for food, if they could just give me more food and MORE SAUCES in the dishes! Thanks, Bonbon!
