I walked into Bonjour Brioche Bakery Café at 2:30. It was packed. Surprisingly, I got a table.
With the smell of sweet something's in the air and a look at the day's specials, I knew right away that this place could be the death of me. Everything looked so inviting.
I ordered the quiche of the day, cheddar and broccoli ($7.50) and a brioche royal ($1.50) to top things off. I just couldn't start with something sweet.
I only waited a few minutes before the swift waiter brought over the quiche: a hefty slice of a bigger pie, a side salad and a piece of a baguette. Although this meal sounds quite simple, quiche is something I can be very particular about.
This one was precise in texture and flavour. The shell was not too thick and had a nice crunch as I pieced it with my fork. The consistency of the egg was fluffy but solid enough to hold the large chunks of fresh broccoli. The salad was good, just a simple tossed greens with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The baguette, however, was really mouth-watering. It made me want to buy a whole baguette before I left.
The lemon raspberry Brioche Royal was a nice ending. A little bigger than the size of my fist, the cake was a pretty golden yellow that easily fell apart with my hands. It was delicious. I would definitely come back for this treat.
P.S. Bring a sweater and sit on their patio, it may be tough to score a table inside this busy joint.
