Bobcat Bonnie's - Ferndale

I went to this restaurant for dinner and brunch. They have a solid selection for both meals. Interestingly, some of the sandwiches on the dinner menu can also be found on the brunch menu. However, there are also hashes, sausages, and breakfast tacos available for brunch. For dinner, there are options like an impossible burger, chicken sandwich, fish and chips, and fish tacos. You can modify many of their menu items to suit your preferences. The cocktails are great too! I especially enjoyed the brunch cereal shooters made with almond milk. They also offer a variety of regular brunch drinks. This review has been updated from a previous review in April 2023.

I was excited to find several vegan choices on the menu at this restaurant. While most of the options were comfort food, there were a few healthier vegan choices available. I'm not a fan of fake meats, of which there were many on offer, but I appreciate the variety of vegan options available.

The food was good, but some of it came out lukewarm, our waiter misinformed us about vegan options, we were left waiting for long periods, the bill had several items on it we didn't order, and it took a long time to sort it out. I was hoping the vegan selection would be larger than it was, after hearing good things, but the entree selection was two sandwiches, and we were told the fryer was shared.

We attempted to visit the Flytrap Cafe but found it unexpectedly closed. We then tried Bobcat Bonnies, arriving at 11:10am to find the doors still locked. Just as we were about to try the Thai place next door, a server approached us and informed us that Bobcat Bonnies was indeed open. Both my partner and I ordered the vegan chicken avocado sandwich, but were surprised to find it came with American cheese despite our request for vegan cheddar cheese. The cheese was missing altogether when our sandwiches arrived, so I asked the waiter to bring a separate plate with the vegan cheddar cheese. In the end, the sandwich was average with tasty aioli sauce and fresh ingredients, but nothing exceptional that I couldn't have made at home.

I was thrilled that there were some vegan options here. usually eat comfort, with just a few healthy vegan options. I'm not a big fan of fake meat. they offer many of them. but I am grateful for the vegan options.
