| - There's new place opened inside the Antiques at the Market called Truffles n Bacon Cafe with interesting deliciousness going on! Sandwiches, salads and soups are borderline gourmet.
The "Pimp My Bruchetta" is what I ordered. You get 3 pieces of bruchetta and pick your choice of toppings. Some topping choices I'll mention: minty peas w/bacon jam, mushroom & brie, halomi cheese w/sautéed grapes and Babaganoush!! This also came with a side of salad greens that's tossed w/a vinaigrette. I was real happy with my choices I got. Especially the babaganoush which was perfectly light in texture. Mushroom paired with Brie was brilliant! I consider these more light bites though than a meal.
So still hungry I'm up for round two and go for their signature grilled cheese. A panini w/chipotle mayo. Not too bad! Grilled cheese with a little twist. I love the chipotle slaw on bed of greens it came with. It added a little zing to the the cheesy sandwich.
Dont miss getting their citrus iced tea! They brew their own tea and top it with a mint leaf and slice of lemon. Very refreshing! Compliments all the sandwiches.
Other menu items that caught my attention "The Not Your Mama's Grilled Cheese" with short rib, bacon jam, cheese and broccoli rabe, their signature burger comes with burger, mac n cheese, bacon jam, siracha ketchup on brioche bun..with fries seasoned in truffle oil. Yum! There was also another sandwich with brisket in it.
So with all that good stuff mentioned, where's the bacon in all this? While waiting I took a second look at the menu and bacon is only present as a condiment ( TnB's bacon jam) My server did say the menu changes and they do different specials each day, so Im assuming maybe it's on their daily special or the board that was in the main dining room. Dont get me wrong, the menu is pretty good but bacon lovers looking for bacon at Truffles n Bacon might be a little disappointed. What they can do without is the tater tots! I don't know but they reek of the frozen type variety. Mine went untouched after the first bite. Hence why this time around it's not a solid 4 stars yet. I really enjoyed the rest of my lunch though.
The cafe is cute and simple. The kitchen is open and you can see their work area is pretty clean. The main dining area has banquette seating and the second dining area by the window is smaller with 2 sets of tables in there. It's the perfect setting for this antique mall. Speaking of which, where is the Antiques at the Market Mall?? Right across Sunset Park, just past Sunset Road. You'll see their marquee and some banners for it. Turn into the parking lot and go ALL THE WAY to the back. It's brick colored building with ANTIQUES in green letters.
Staff is really friendly and all orders came out in a timely manner. My table mates and I were happy with what we ordered. Everything for the most part is reasonably priced. I'll be sure to keep this place in mind when I'm in the area.
