You could tell that they cared about their baking craft. We got the brunch which included quiche with cherry tomatoes and ham was so beautiful and deliciously seasoned with herbs (we had a choice). The crust was fine and flaky!!! It also came with salad, granola, choice of warm beverage and cold beverage, and a slice of cake ( you could get all 3 flavors if you wanted). The care that our server (who i think may have been the owner) have us was tremendous. She also was kind and some English to help us understand what we were getting. The desserts were fabulously delicious and moist. I liked the chocolate over the almond, but we understood that the almond is the fan favorite. Finally, while the salad is just an accessory, it was so yummy! The lettuce was fresh and the dressing was perfect.

To be honest, the breakfast wasn't amazing. I got the formulae Salee with the eggs and bacon,…read morejuice and coffee, and the basket of bread, of course. My wife did not - she just got a couple of a la carte items, and we both got a croissant. I'm going with 5 stars for a couple of reasons. One, coffee was excellent. My cappuccino was delicious, but every one of them was during this trip. Second, it's hard to find an american breakfast - it just isn't their thing. Third, the eggs and bacon were very good (but it was just scrambled eggs and bacon). Fourth, the croissant was delicious. Maybe I'm just so happy to have gotten a regular breakfast. The shop is very nice and seems like a great place to work if you need to. Its spacious and the staff was very friendly. I'd make it a stop on your trip if you plan on having breakfast that isn't just a baguette.

Salad was seasoned with base of balsamic vinegar and basil pesto on top. In this very meat-heavy country, I was glad to find something I could eat (and enjoy). They were so busy each step of service took a little longer than I'd have liked. But at least they were all very friendly and helpful.

The chai is quite authentic as well, without a doubt it is the best I have tasted in Bordeaux. It was the star of the show, and reminded me of home! The best thing about Tchai bar though, is the service. The owners (?) are so extremely kind and caring. They are always attentive and each order comes out with a smile. Plus all of this comes at such a reasonable price. What more can one ask for!?
