Bordeaux Bakery

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. <br/ <br/ 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.
