| - With a name like this, Truffles N Bacon Café has been on my radar for a while- I can appreciate a good truffle-flavored dish, but I'm not a fan of bacon. Oddly, it's their diverse menu of sandwiches that really caught my eye. I went with friend Shirley B's recommendation of the Jessie, but the mushroom BLT and Not Your Mama's Grilled Cheese both beg me to make another visit.
But I was underwhelmed by the SIMPLY JESSIE egg salad and smoked salmon on rye sounds both simple and delicious, but the salmon was minimal specks amid the salad, which barely held together and mostly ended up on the plate. I do like how they toasted one bread to help make the sandwich sturdier, but it didn't quite work. Added on a side of SINFUL TOTS for $2.50- nicely crispy bacon was the main topping, with a bit of cheese, a few pepperoncinis, and a slight essence of truffle oil detected on the fresh and crunchy tots. Good flavors, but slight missteps in execution.
It's a cute, sunny spot with warm wood floors, bright color accents, and an absolutely darling server- who I believe was the owner? Service was great: friendly, attentive, exceedingly polite. Wish I hadn't taken my order to go, but their menu will eventually bring me back.
