We usually order take away here. The BEST Nicoise sandwich ever! I also love the Bayonne ans well as the chicken baguette. They used to have a duck baguette, which is sorely missed. A great selection of sweets and cakes as well as some okay bread. But the sweets and the ready made sandwiches and baguettes really stand out. They are very expensive, but if I get a good taste for it, I am happy to pay extra for it. The offer some coking as well as some crepes, which I never have tried.
Bought the nicely and timely made breakfast which costed me around $21. It was filling and good and the order did not take that long. In my opinion this is a little steep considering what was given in plate. The price for muesli isn't too good either.
The place looked busy and clean.
Came here for cake and hot chocolate a little while ago. This place does have some good food and glorious, crusty bread. I had a mango cheesecake and a hot chocolate. The cheesecake was creamy and fruity and was delicious. I did find a small hair in it though. Normally, I would have made a fuss, but I was in a bit of a rush. The hot chocolate was overly sweet. The service here is average. The lady behind the counter was friendly but we had to ask for water and spoons because she hadn’t directed us to them. Little things like this are important. I actually used to come here all the time for the bread, and I would still come here for that, but I think I’ll pass on the hairy cheesecake in future.
An older cafe now that could do with a bit of a tidy up to be fair. I think the food is good, but the service is not so good. You will wait and meals will turn up on their lonesome one by one. It seems to me that their are just not enough staff on with some doing front of house and creating the meals.
But, if you want decent food and a good coffee along with a massive selection of excellent takeaway cafe food (awesome rolls), then this is perfect.
I frequent this place for lunch sandwiches and the chocolate eclair! I would definitely suggest this place if you are in the vicinity and need a sweet tooth satisfied and a light lunch.
Doesn't start out too flash - as I prefer to have the order taken at the table. But once you order and grab a table you're on your way. I had a Bordeaux Breakfast with two brekkie sausages two strips of bacon two poached oozy (just the way I like them) eggs on sourdough toast oh and a cooked tomato. There was a hollandaise sauce... I managed to clear the plate, while the family had equally good eggs, and one of us went for a crepe..... All and all very good and I'd go back again.
Bordeaux has had its ups and downs over the years. This was always our 'treat' cafe, as the prices are higher than other cafes in the area but usually reflected the high quality of food. The improved floor-to-ceiling windows make the upstairs dining area much more open and light. The food counter seems to have been 'tidied up', too. As usual, the sour dough was in top form and my friend enjoyed her pumpkin soup for lunch. Our service today was great; I hope the food and overall dining experience at Bordeaux manages to regain its 'top quality' reputation and remain consistently high.
I had the eggs Benny & asked for it to be on a soft toast rather than the usual hard toast.
And it wasn't a problem at all.
Was really nice surprise to see the beautiful thick chunks of ham off the bone when it arrived.
Got a range of their sweet stuff to share and they were all delicious. A bit on the pricey side though.
Wow this place is incredible!
Mariana (the person serving us) was spot on for what she recommended to my husband and I 🏳️🌈 with all of the deliciousness there is here 🙌
We got the Cajun chicken sandwich (toasted), the beef Reuben, blackberry tart 🤤
Mariana def knew her stuff, was SO nice, and incredible customer service and product knowledge 🤩🥳 Thank you Bordeaux for such a wonderful experience this morning! 🥰🥰🥰
Great experience at this cafe. Had the eggs benedict with ham. The thick cut ham off the bone was delicious and the eggs were perfect. Finished this off with the French vanilla doughnut which was amazing!
It's been a long time since I had a bite to eat here. Still good food though. Very busy place, so this tells me that people know what good food is all about. We had 2 chocolate eclairs, very rich. A delicious quinoa and beetroot salad, and a toasted sandwich... but used a baguette. The female server was super efficient, and friendly. My friend bought a sourdough loaf to takeaway. Will definitely come again when I am out this way. Cheers 😍
We grabbed some sandwiches, a Niçoise and a Cajun Chicken, to go along with a small Duchess cake. All three things were delicious and good value for the money. It made for a beautiful picnic in the Botanical Gardens. With more time, I would have joined their coffee club to get the complimentary canelé with the 11th coffee.
Was yummy but what ruined the experience was when I asked if I could have some cream to go with the small slice of cake at $8.70, I was given a horrified look and told immediately 'NO'. This look, the tone and the negative no to what I thought was a small request really surprised me. If this were my establishment, I would tell the customer absolutely and give a warm friendly smile. After all, I'd like customers to come back.
But this response was what we spoke about as we took our seats and when we go in the car. A small request could've really topped off our visit but, not sure I will come again. 😟
I love Bordeaux Bakery. The simple baguettes and croissants taste amazing here, you won’t regret buying them.
I’ve been a long time customer of Bordeaux Bakery, always popping in to get their French doughnuts (aka cronuts) which are a hit in my family. I’ve also loved had their cabinet food in various occasions and loved the flavours. So we were pretty excited when we had a morning off and could order breakfast here.
Unfortunately, we were left super disappointed. While our full breakfasts were well presented and made interesting with the fries, the meal fell short of our expectations. The food was lukewarm and undercooked. For $26 a meal, we were disappointed. The coffee was the only positive aspect of our visit.
I would have given only three stars, but perhaps they were having a bad day in the kitchen or other factors due to COVID. Plus I know their other food is good, this the four stars. I’ll be back, but will stick to getting food from the cabinet and their pastries.
Delicious French pastry treats, pies, salads, and cafe items.
An amazing range of French inspired sweets and a cabinet of savoury rolls and panini that the staff will toast for you. A small selection of salads.
Good coffee.
