Cafe Brontos, Boronia

We visited Cafe Brontos in Boronia the other day while dropping by the library nearby. There used to be a couple of restaurants we liked a few years ago, but over time and Covid, they have closed down. One was Bert's Cafe, whose shop now looks like an art installation of wood roasted rubber ducks. The other was Lai Good Taste, which made the best Japanese tofu and mince meat dish which transported me back to Malaysia. Sadly, it closed down during Covid. The shop is now Cafe Brontos, which serves burgers and western style food.

The menu at Brontos is big and has something for everyone. There are very reasonably priced wraps and sandwiches, big breakfasts, burgers, chicken packs and main meals. The menu is decorated with Flinstones characters, from which the cafe drew its inspiration. I like the coziness of the American diner style of the place, and the good thing it is doing by raising funds for MND. 

We were only after a quick lunch so we ordered the Cuban sandwich ($12.50) and Caesar Wrap ($9.50).  

The Cuban sandwich had pulled pork, ham, cheese and pickle with mustard sauce on turkish bread.

I loved my Caesar wrap, which had crispy chicken, croutons, cheese, lettuce, egg and mayo. Maybe I have been living in the dark ages like the Flinstones but I haven't eaten a Caesar salad in a wrap before. The croutons were crispy toast but if they were sized a little smaller and there was bacon in the wrap it would be exactly like a Caesar salad which I love so much. The wrap is a healthier version (not as much mayo and no bacon) so I could eat more of it.

The restaurant is clean, and the waitpersons are very friendly. Although I subsequently read about long wait times in reviews on Google, our food and drinks arrived very quickly. This is a nice cafe spend a weekend afternoon or morning at, sipping coffee and watching the cars go by or chatting with friends. The only drawback is the location which is removed from the main shops in Boronia Junction but it is not too far to walk to from the Junction and there are parking nearby.
