More than just a bakery, B Bistro offers a delicious sit-down brunch featuring the classics and more. Schnur’s go-to orders for brunch are the Pastelito Pancakes, the Cruffin—specifically the special Unicorn filled with pastel cream and a fondant horn—or any of their fresh-baked croissants. If pastries are not your thing, B Bistro also offers an assortment of salads and other elevated breakfast dishes.
