| - Bronze Cafe is located inside of the LBGTQ center. The center is pretty neat, it looks like a library with couches, computers, and a small section of books. The Cafe is smack dab in the middle. It's fast casual where you order at the counter and then they call your name or in this case deliver to your table. Since I knew I was gonna eat here, I spent half the day browsing the menu trying to decide what I was going to order. While doing so, I found out they had Groupon-score!! Each Groupon included a cup of soup, a sandwich or salad and a dessert for $11. Not a bad deal considering the salads and sandwiches are anywhere from $9 and up.
I ordered the LGBTQ sandwich, the soup of the day, and a brookie for dessert. The sandwich had maple-glazed bacon AND bacon jam, as well as mixed greens, tomato, cucumber, lemon aioli and their house made lemon vinaigrette all on a ciabatta bun. To me this tasted healthier than it should have. After all there was 2 kinds of bacon on this thing. I think they over loaded the sandwich with lettuce and cukes, and don't get me wrong it was good, but it was pretty dry. I couldn't taste any of the aioli or vinaigrette so I would probably ask for more next time. I enjoyed the bacon and the jam though and everything tasted really fresh. The soupe du jour was chili verde, and it was good but spicy!! It was very hearty with chunks of tomatoes, beans, and lots of spice. A cup is a decent sized portion but I didn't really like it so I didn't finish it. FYI the soup changes daily so give them a call to see what they have. The brookie which is a cookie and a brownie together was dry and flavorless. It crumbled as I bit into it. Definitely would not order that again.
I also purchased a beet and goat cheese salad to eat for lunch the next day and that salad was amazing. It has small pieces of beets, walnuts and goat cheese tossed in their lemon vinaigrette. I don't even like beets, but I do now. This salad is fresh and filling and I wouldn't for sure order it again. The workers were all super friendly and smiley, especially the cashier. I wouldn't hesitate to come back when I am in the area.
