le bon choix

lovely. i have been buying their cakes for many years now and they never fail to impress. it's also a great place forcoffee& cake (seriously, the single serves are worth it just for the presentation alone - an exquisite miniature version, much nicer than your standard slice you'd get elsewhere), the staff are friendly, the decor luxurious yet cosy, and the pastries to die for (must try the almond croissant!)
just great!

loved this place. staff very attentive and desserts awesome. first place i've found almond pastries. yumo!! thecoffeeis pretty good as well.

goodcoffeeand good value for a quick eat stop

sweets are amazing. clean bright place to visit. great location under tree in middle of city. staff always seem under trained. often stressed and forgetting orders. culture of staff seems unhelpful though adds to experience...you have to put up with this to get access to the amazing pastries!!coffeepretty good.

the cakes are always so yummy and delicious, theircoffeeis very yummy too, best place to have acoffeecatch up with work friends

overpriced and not that original. i had a lot better in south east asia. needs to lift their game and quality quite a bit. the pastries are burnt and the sweets taste of sugar overload and don't even think about getting acoffeeas it tastes like it is burnt. wish i would have spent the money at mcdonalds it would have been a better investment in higher quality food.

after lunching in the city, phuong tran and i are seeking dessert and coffee. the cafes around eagle street are very quiet so we keep walking until we reach le bon choix.

i ask for a cafe latte and a bamboleo dessert. wait staff are cheery and service is fast. thecoffeeis served hot and is full flavoured while this mango, passionfruit and banana dessert is refreshing and delicious. thank you guys!

excellent customer service. not only did we get a service with a smile she also spoke french. thecoffeehere was very nice. not too milky. most baristas get it wrong but this one got it right. its always nice to wait here for your coffee. the selection to drool over is amazing.

a lovely little cafe in a relaxing part of the cbd. whilst thecoffeeis not amazing (but it is still decent), that's not really why i go there. the quiches are delicious - great pastry! the cakes and assorted desserts are to die for. i get my occassion cakes here for family and friends and they are always loved. i strongly recommend the strawberry tart.

tried their latte and two macaroon flavors; pistachio and caramel hazelnut, i really liked it, and the service was friendly. the place was cozy and quiet, i would defo go back for a cup ofcoffeeevery now and then.

a colleague and i stopped into le bon choix this morning and i walked out with a box of almond croissants (for lady meatball and to share with the office) and pain au chocolat (for mini meatball and to share with the office) as well as a full cream latte.

the almond croissants and pain au chocolate were great and bought me quite a bit of goodwill in the office.  both baked goods rated a 4.  thecoffeewas also surprisingly good - it too rated a 4.

at this stage, i think this store has overtaken the racecourse road (ascot) location due to its size, quantity and variety of products offered.

le bon choix remains a favorite of the meatballs family - especially if we can't get to new farm for the almond croissants at chouquette.

june 2016

we hit le bon choix every couple months because my wife absolutely loves the almond croissants. my daughter likes the pain au chocolat and i like to pick up a baguette or boule to bring home. coffeeis pretty good as well. i rate the hamilton location slightly higher for ambiance.

the tuna foccacia is surprisingly good and the caramel doughnuts are also winners. however, such slow and inefficient service even for basic orders i cannot bring myself to come here again. i've been a regular customer but am sick of waiting 10+ mins for someone to put a pre-made sandwich into a box and take my money. there seems to be only one or two people who take the orders, ring them up, and make up the food. countless other staff appear from the back room only to do one task, look at the long queue of people waiting to order, and then disappear again. thecoffeeis also very average.  finally, they always run out of the popular sandwiches very early in the cbd lunchbreak - why not make a few more if you are always having to tell people you've run out at 1:15pm? and the irritating $10 eftpos minimum that insisted on - especially when the sandwiches are all around $9.90 - is the final straw. sorry lbc - i'm done.

really friendly and nice service here. order at the counter and they will bring it out to you. i had the apple danish & mocha. the pastry is so flaky and crisp. large slices of apple and tasted great.coffeewas nice but seems overpriced. i also had a pain au chocolat to takeaway and eat on hotel balcony. it was so fluffy and delicious as well.

the custard filled cinnamon coated donuts are out of this world. delicious, hand baked every morning, with a touch of paris; yhe service is magnifique. thecoffeeis also one of the best i've had in brissy.

greatcoffee- will be coming back for more!. stopped by forcoffeewith a friend and thecoffeewas amazing. definitely coming back with the girls next time :)
