Shuk Bondi

Today was our second time here, a lovely, relaxing atmosphere with delicious food and laid back service, though some servers stand out more than others. The guy was very helpful to find us a table in the extremely busy breakfast time on Friday morning. The vanilla granola was the best we’ve ever had! We even bought a pack to take home, as they sell their homemade granola in packages. Their gluten free bread is also incredible homemade with sesame seeds and tasting like a delicious sourdough. As someone who’s gluten-free, I can confidently say it’s the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever had! My partner enjoyed his israeli breakfast with a bit of everything! We live an hour away but we’ll be back definitely!! EDIT: I would like to bring some issues to your attention. We have been here four times in the last week and came back today. The girl taking orders at the register was very rude and didn’t know the menu. My partner ordered ‘The Mediterranean Plate with the Chicken Skewers.’ This is exactly how he said it when he was ordering. She obviously had no idea, there was a huge language barrier, a lack of knowledge about the menu, and a rude personality combined! He first ordered the ginger tea. She said, “We don’t have ginger tea.” He said he had it two days ago. Then she asked someone, and that person said, “We have ginger lemon tea yes.” Obviously, that’s the one when you say ginger tea! Also he never said ginger lemon tea last week at all but of course it’s common sense all the other servers got us the ginger tea straight away without any confusion. He also ordered the shakshuka for me and The Mediterranean Plate with the Chicken Skewer for himself, but his order came out wrong. It was the shawarma. He went back to the register, and she said, “You said chicken skewer.” He replied that he had said, “The Mediterranean Plate with the Chicken Skewer.” She didn’t accept her mistake and rudely blamed him!!! It was obvious that she misunderstood because she didn’t know the menu. Then she called someone else, and that person asked him what he ordered. He repeated, “The Mediterranean Plate with the Chicken Skewer.” Then they called someone else, and that person corrected the order. NO APOLOGIES, NO SORRY by the order taker !!! She was still blaming my partner for her mistake !!! Customer service was terrible today! I ate my shakshuka all alone, and then his order finally arrived, and he ate his meal alone! We weren’t happy at all. I am attaching a photo of the server who got our order completely wrong, refused to accept her mistake, and didn’t even say “sorry”! She should have acknowledged her mistake and apologized to the customer, that’s all!

Food-wise, we loved the shakshuka and juices! The various bread options are great and was pleasantly surprised by how good the gluten free bread tasted Service was quick despite going there on a weekend at 11am. Kid friendly with good menu options, colouring pencils and highchairs. Appreciate how easy it is to order food and drinks via the QR code as well :) As for parking, would recommend parking 1-2 streets down. It's pretty easy to find street parking if you look around
