Bombon Cafe - Sarasota

Needed a late lunch and dropped in knowing nothing about the place. Best Cuban sandwich I ever had. Better than Columbia. House cooked roast pork tenderloin. Juicy and cut thick, not thin dried out pieces. Pressed to perfection. My wife had Caprese panini. Fresh “real” mozzarella cheese sliced to order from a huge hunk that was kept moist in saltwater, not the tasteless and dried out slices found in too many such sandwiches. A husband and wife with young son helping out were delightful clearly recent arrivals from Italy with charming accents who were eager to please. After we finished, i decided to see what else they had and noticed a couple of sfogliatelle in the case, so I asked wife where she got them and she told me she baked them. I asked for 1 to go, but she said because it was end of day, she would sell me both for 5. Took them home and wow! I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in NYC and I know sfogliatelle. They were terrific. Cracking crunchy outside, soft and pillowy and full of ricotta cheese inside.We had our dog with us and the wife came out with our lunch, she asked the dog’s name. His name is Mo, which is short for Giacomo Puccini. She got a kick out of that and mentioned that her mother was an opera singer who sang Puccini at La Scala in Milan.Highly recommend this place. I’ll be back often for breakfast and lunch.
