bon fresco

um, wow. this is the coolest sandwich shop ever. the menu is full of sophisticated sandwiches. (we get mommy and daddysandwicheshere and then take the kids for simpler fair elsewhere.) the bread is amazing and made right in the shop. they use there own starters (going for years) and so they only need a little yeast. the sides are a lot of fun and as tasty as the sandwiches.
it's a breath of fresh air in a world full of subways and quiznos.

splendid sandwiches. bon fresco makes delightfulsandwicheson fresh ciabatta they make themselves. if you go make sure to buy some bread to take home. the brownies are great too.

excellent sandwiches. if you're tired of subway and panera and want something truly original, stop by this sandwhich shop and try just about anything on their menu - it's all fresh and really tasty. their sides at first surprised me; cous-cous and lentil salad instead of traditional fair like fries or chips, but wow is it good. the sides that come with the sandwich are very small, but thesandwichesare so big you won't walk away hungry. i recommend the picante chicken breast sandwich!

found bon fresco through urpanspoon and decided to try it out. i was very impressed.sandwichesare great. the bread, which is baked fresh is fabulous. absolutely recommend to anyone that is a sandwich and soup lover. try the chocolate pastry, it is great!

i'm a fan!. i actually was a fan of gerald's before he opened bon fresco, back when he had a deli on columbia gateway drive. my dad always talks about how amazing hissandwicheswere then, and he's yet to visit bon fresco, but i'm sure he'd love it. thesandwichesare just perfect. i have no complaints! granted, i've only tried 2 sandwiches, and i often get the grilled vegetable platter (you get so much food, more than with a salad, and it's $8!!) but that's just because i don't want to stray from my favorites!! i'll definitely have to go more often than my once or twice a month, so that i can start trying other sandwiches. i also think the prices are very reasonable, especially when you compare it to panera or any other columbia chain restaurant. bon fresco is fresh and delicious, and i can't stop telling people about it!

fantastic!. only by pure chance did my wife and i find this place and further that we actually went in and tried it. the food is fresh and fabulous. since our first visit, we try to get out to bon fresco at least once a week. i first had the london broil and have never tasted a sandwich so unique and flavorful. we force ourselves to try newsandwichesbecause we swear the last one we had is our absolute favorite. and then then new sandwich we try becomes our favorite. each one i so different but so delicious. this places is a food oasis where the the taste experience is the best. love it and thanks for bucking the chain trend and creating such a wonderful product for us!

the best european-style bread in the u.s.. my wife, who is from spain, yearned for good european bread for a long time. by chance, we discovered this local sandwich/bakery right down the street in columbia, md that bakes the best bread that we've had in the u.s. so far. they do run out, but when we have the fortune of scoring on a fresh baguette, it really is phenom! i've encouraged them to enter in competitions... if they do, i'm sure they will win hands down.

the challah, available on fridays is also a contender for the blue ribbon.

theirsandwichesare also great ... and the portions and quality is well-worth the $6.50. stick with subway if you prefer junk and foot-long crud.

we have a great sandwich shop in the columbia/ellicott city area. thesandwichesand salads we tasted today were absolutely delicious. it's about time i have a sandwich shop i can look forward to visiting on a regular basis... especially now that the weather is getting warmer and we'll want to have picnics outside on a regular basis. spread the word about this new find! i want them to stay in business!!

i love you bon fresco!. my best friend (a currently pregnant foodie) ate lunch at bon fresco this past saturday and was so blown away by her sandwich (mozzarella + tomato) that she took me there for dinner that saturday night!

we shared:

1. brie sandwich: my version of melted heaven (in my humble opinion the best sandwich on the menu)
2. tuna picante sandwich: super light, fresh, & zesty
3. tomato soup: hearty and zippy, really woke my tongue up
4. mushroom soup: light, fresh, featuring delicate and tender mushrooms

after our meal, i ended up buying 2 moresandwichesto take home to share with my fiancé on sunday:

1. chicken picante sandwich: deliciously balanced, featuring yummy peppers
2. venice sandwich: better than your average italian sub/sandwich

needless to day, i am getting hungry just thinking about bon fresco... please note that gerald (the owner) takes exceptional pride in his food, featuring fresh, high quality ingredients (i wonder who his supplier is... because the amount of brie alone in my sandwich would cost way more than $6.50, if i were to purchase it on my own). gerald also bakes his own bread, which i swear he infuses with magical ingredients (his bread does make a huge difference in how delicious thesandwichesare)!

i would eat there once, maybe twice a week if i lived closer... and at just $6.50 a sandwich, i'd be a fool not to!

great new sandwich place. great new, local sandwich shop! it's a change from the usual, with fresh ingredients on delicious, freshly made breads.sandwichesare a good size too. also, their cinnamon rolls are out of this world!

bon fresco sandwich bakery has opened in columbia and broughtsandwichesand bread that rise immediately into my favorites in howard county. great ingredients. it couldn't be more simple, but it feels less and less common to find delicious food that taste
