C’est Bon

Great place for a quick lunch, try the classic panini. Very friendly just Oder and they bring it to you outside. However at lunch time it get a bit crowded so try to get there early.

Best place at the park. Always friendly and helpful. Enzo is awesome. Always makes the best grilled sandwiches. Two thumbs up!

This place does not belong in a sophisticated shopping center like Merrick Park. The quality of food is bad, the service is mediocre and the waiting time was painful. My family and I had creepes that took almost 30 minutes to be served, and when we finally got them they were room Temperature and tasted like raw pasta. The reason I gave it a star it’s because the plates they served the food on were actually of good quality plastic.

Maybe my expectations were too high for lox bagel sandwich, which was not great. Pretty bland.
Also I called in my order (which was nice)
but the guy on the phone told me that they’re on the first floor.
They are NOT on the first floor there on the second floor you have to take escalator right next to Nordstrom’s.

Good good, alright service but check the expiration dates on the chips and candies. I’ve gotten a few expired items.

This little café has so much potential with such a large selection of various sandwiches, salads and drinks.
Unfortunately, they failed miserably on my last visit. I ordered a chicken sandwich with pesto, avocado, and mozzarella on ciabatta bread. It seemed pretty fail safe. Boy, was I wrong. The bread was so stale I could barely bite into it. And while the outside of the sandwich was piping hot (so much I couldn’t hold it), the inside was refrigerator cold. I was really hungry so I ate half of it but I couldn’t finish it. It’s pretty disappointing that they don’t have some sort of quality control for something as simple as bread.
It’s unlikely i’ll be visiting again.

Came here on a Sunday for a quick coffee and a bite to eat to wait for everything open and was fairly disappointed. Order an espresso and café con leche and were both horrible had no flavor honestly tasted like dirty water.

I ordered three sandwiches to go for my wife, mother and myself and all three were impossible to eat. The lettuce was older than I am, no pesto, no tomato and no guacamole on the sandwiches, although they were supposed to have this. The bread was old. I was to tired to return the sandwiches but this was unacceptable and that for the hefty price. So for me, never again. I did like their sandwiches before so this is a shame.

Love this lil shop! I work in the area and just call to pick up my food and its ready in 10 min. I usually get their panini’s which are so yummy. They have a good selection of soups, salads, and crepes too! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Very small so can get packed at times.

Craving a quick bite between your shopping? Head over here. It’s located right next to nordtroms and has a great view of the surrounding area.
You have the option to eat in our outside. Inside you will leave smelling like food so I suggest getting an outside table, besides it makes you feel like you’re somewhere else.
The pastries are good but a little overpriced for the flavor. The cookies are very good tho and so are the regular spinach enpanadas.
Grab a small bite, sit outside and relax, regain strengths and keep enjoying your shopping in the best mall yet.

I work in the Merrick Park area. This place is convenient and a good alternative to the super expensive lunch options in the area. They’re nice about customizing sandwiches and coffee is good. A little pricey for some items, but decent overall.

I’m a fan of this small sandwich shop. Close to work and fast service. The staff is super friendly and the selections are abundant. May not be a full service nor a 5 star joint but the sandwiches are decent… fresh pressed paninis and again, the service is swift enough to get me in & out during my short lunch break. Its located on the second floor of Merrick Park village. Prices are reasonable and there’s plenty of outdoor seating. They also have plenty of desserts, salads and togo snacks (empanadas, chips, chocolate bars, etc). This is my go to place for quick hunger fix. I’m already a loyal client :)

A more accurate name for this restaurant is «C’est Ok». «Bön» might be overselling it. We stopped by for a bite during a shopping trip, and so weren’t expecting much beyond a quick lunch. However, I was pretty hopeful based on the reviews. It seemed to be popular with the younger Lululemon-​wearing crowd which indicated it might be a good healthy option.
My wife had the Venetian pannini — a sandwich with Prosciutto di Parma, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Olives. I had a gyro.
Now, I know the natural first reaction might be «you’re reviewing a French-​themed café and you ordered a gyro?» Yep I am. Because they had a variety of mediterranean items on offer on the menu, it is fair game to critique them on it.
The Venetian was ok… the prosciutto was not repulsive or anything, but it was definitely generic supermarket deli-​cabinet level. The gyro was also acceptable — but was mall food-​court quality. It wasn’t a crisped, savory pita, and the meat had a boiled quality to it rather than grilled on the turntable spit that is typically the way to go.
The thing is, the prices were not all that cheap. Given the food court quality of the food, it was overpriced. Otherwise I might have been easier on it and it would be a bit higher on the curve.

Easy solution when the café bistro at nordstrom is packed! Caprese salad includes a whole mozzarella !! Delish!

Love this place! The key lime pie is amazing and the caprese sandwich is always fresh. Service is quick and attentive.

Nice place to grab a light breakfast or lunch if you happen to be in Merrick Park.
They also have a nice selection desserts too.
Also a coffee alternative to E Bar in Merrick Park. Good patio to enjoy the breeze.

This place is on the hidden corner of the 2^nd floor of Merrick Park. Busy lunch crowd. Tons of options on the Panini’s. Make sure you grab the items you like while passing them by. Example line is usually out the door, you’ll pass by the cooler with drinks & then chips then order your food & then pay. Grab a seat where you like & they will bring your order out to you. Kinda of a long wait. Dont forget your napkins before grabbing a table.

I’d brought my car in for a marathon service session over at Tires Plus this past Sunday, and found myself with nothing to do but watch the World Cup on Spanish television in the Tires Plus waiting room. I walked a few blocks over to Merrick Park with quite a few hours to kill.
It was about 10:30AM, and nothing in the mall had really opened yet, except for this little place just up the escalator near Nordstrom. I walk in, and big surprise — they’ve got the World Cup on, again on Spanish television. Between the droning horns and overly excitable Spanish-​language announcers, this event is grating on me like nails on a chalkboard. But I don’t really care — I’ve got my Sunday NY Times and time to kill. Plus, there’s plenty of outside seating and ceiling fans to cut the heat a little.
I ordered a latte, and a bagel & lox. This being located in Merrick Park, I fully expected to pay a premium, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the latte cost less than the equivalent at Starbucks. Indeed, the prices don’t seem to be that bad here, across the board.
The latte was a little watery, but it did the job. The bagel and lox seemed to take a long time in the panini press, but what came out was tasty — a lightly toasted bagel with ample smoked salmon, cream cheese, and capers. Not bad at all.
As a bonus, there was also decent people-​watching even at that early hour, as the mall store employees (mostly attractive women, luckily for me) seemed to be heading over there to get a caffeine fix before opening up. I could see myself driving over here for lunch on occasion.
I thought my car would be ready, but it was not to be. More Merrick Park reviews… NEXT. Stay tuned.

: When you want to have the worst of both worlds on one plate :
This place has the dubious distinction of providing the worst crêpe I’ve ever had in my life along with the third worst sandwich. Impressive.
The crêpe was inexplicably tragic. Its contents were far from warm — cold, rubbery pieces of chicken, slimy mushrooms, unripe tomatoes. They obviously took it off the griddle too soon, as the cheese still sat in tangible shreds, instead of melting.
The sandwich bread was hard, unwieldy, and worse yet, there was a lot of it. The bread to contents ratio: 4 to 1. It wasn’t very good, but compared to the abysmal crêpe, it was relatively edible.
Except for when it was STABBING US ON THE ROOF OF OUR MOUTHS.
We left with visible gashes.
Nasty. Definitely not worth the wound care or the perceived convenience. Next time I want a light bite while at Merrick, I’ll hit Nordstrom’s café, become anorexic, or chew on a finger.

LOL! This is so Ironic! I get to be the first person to review C’est Bön (Mikey if you are reading this, I do miss ur focaccia chicken sandwiches w/​jalapenos and mozzarella, NO FRIES dammit)
This place is a safety net if in the middle of a Merrick Park shopping outing; it is the most affordable of all the eating places in the perimeter, they have great coffee (which you can flavor with almond, vanilla and other misc. flavors) and great paninis + shakes. They also double up as a magazine/​mini convenient store, if you need cigarrettes, mints, or chocolate indulgences on the quick — great corner location for mall staring (it is a beautiful mall I have to say)
C’est bon, C’est Quatre
