| - I have one hell of a sweet tooth, however it's not the sweet baked good that keeps bringing me back to Bonjour Bakery & Deli. In fact, I have been into Bonjour 4 times now, and I have only bought something sweet once. It's the delicious baguettes that they serve the sandwiches on that keep drawing me back in!
For under $10 you can get a large, delicious sandwich with a simple but fresh side salad. The full sandwiches are too much for me, so I get a half, which still comes with the salad. I typically get the ham, salami and cheese... The meats are nice and fresh, as are the veggies on both the sandwich and salad. And I love the house dressing!
Service has always been fine when I go in, and I am usually that person pointing and asking what a bunch of stuff in the baked goods case is... and then not buying it. I am still served with a smile, though I always get my lunch to go so I can not comment on the sit-down service.
The sweet side of Bonjour leaves a bit to be desired. There are plenty of 'bready' items (croissants, pastries, eclairs etc), which I rarely find myself craving... They have macarons at times, however they are sold by the dozen only when they are available. I passed on those and tried a couple other items. The mini Creme Brulee wasn't very impressive, and a bit pricey at over $4 for a small serving. The Raspberry Mousse however, was deliciously light and rich.
Overall I just find the selection of baked sweet treats a bit lacking and slightly pricey... but the sandwiches are delish and that is what keeps bringing me back.
EDIT: As of June 2013 individual macarons were available at $1.75/each
