| - Bunner's is, unfortunately, absolutely meh. It's not *bad*. Nothing I've tried at Bunner's has been terrible. But given the huge, positive buzz I'd been hearing, I've been left very disappointed. I don't think I'll be going back.
The donut was plain and boring. The savoury pocket was fine, but the pastry was far below what I would expect from a full-time bakery. (It was oily and sloppy.) I've also tried a cupcake and a butter tart, and neither earned much of a response. (Honestly, I barely remember what they taste like. But I recall being unimpressed.)
The lack of tables (and so the lack of a dine-in option) is a drag, but not the main problem.
One bright spot: the parfait was yummy and satisfying, and well-priced. But I'm not going to head back to Bunner's just for the parfait, which could be easily and cheaply made at home.
As a vegan, I'm really happy that Bunner's is committed to not using animal products. So I don't want to be too much of a downer. But there are better vegan options in the city.
