Bon Appetit Cafe — Restaurant in Pearland

Arrived for what we thought was still breakfast time, and was a bit bummed out when I was told they were out of the French toast, which was the meal I was looking forward to! Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed their trio platter with a waffle.

Walking in is like walking in to a small cafe, small tables and booths. We arrived and quickly found two empty tables, it took a few minutes to have someone come take our drink order. I would say at least 8-10 minutes. A few guest left during this time and it would take a few minutes to get the tables cleared. At times there were new guest seating in the tables waiting to have them cleaned and reorganized. Nonetheless, the tables were packed during our entire meal, so that must say something.

It's possible to get a cheaper meal, but the food, cleanliness and service likely won't compare with Bon Appetit. We also like to support good neighborhood businesses so we definitely will be...

I used to love this place but something has changed since it reopened. The food is simply not nearly as good as it used to be. For example, their croissants were always exceptional--crisp and flaky on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. You'd think you were in Paris. Now they are dry, semi-burned and taste like day-old reheats from the grocery store. I've eaten take-out from there three times lately because I wanted to be sure. Now I am, and it makes me disappointed and sad. Before they closed last March, friends would drive down from Houston just to eat there on Sundays. But unless they change the food quality back to the way it was, I can't recommend my friends do...
