If you’re strolling through Haarlem and feel like a culinary adventure, look no further than Buns of Glory. They have a delectable array of sandwiches, sandwiches, sandwiched fries and delectable desserts. With a menu that offers so many tempting options, it’s hard not to be both excited and a little skeptical about the quality of the food. Let me take you through our recent experience at this charming spot.
Buns of Glory is known for its wide variety of sandwiches, and given the extensive selection, we were eager to sample some of their offerings. We decided to indulge in a few different mini buns to really get a taste of what they have to offer. After all, the buns here are the star of the show and trying a selection seemed like the best way to experience their creativity and skill.
Our first selection was the Trio of Hot Buns, which included a mini smashburger, cheesy pastrami and pulled chicken. Each mini bun was a delicious explosion of flavors. The mini smashburger was juicy and full of flavor, perfectly complemented by the savory pastrami and tender pulled chicken. It was clear that each item was made with care and attention to detail.
ext we tasted the Trio of Mixed Buns, with tuna, avocado and grilled chicken. These buns were equally impressive. The tuna was a satisfying combination of creamy and crunchy, while the avocado with pomegranate seeds provided a fresh, lively contrast. The grilled chicken was tender and well seasoned, with the same quality and creativity we’ve come to expect from Buns of Glory. These options are also available in large portions, so you can enjoy your favorites even more.
One of Buns of Glory’s standouts is their innovative take on the traditional high tea. Instead of the usual assortment of sandwiches and pastries, they offer a “High Bun” experience for two. This delicious tray consists of nine mini sandwiches, something sweet and two drinks. It is a playful twist on the classic high tea, perfect for sharing with a friend or loved one. The creativity and thoughtfulness behind this concept make Buns of Glory truly unique.
The interior of the restaurant matches the inventive spirit of the menu. The space is small but thoughtfully designed, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is charming and the small terrace outside adds an extra touch of enjoyment for those sunny days when you prefer to dine outside.
Our overall experience at Buns of Glory was quite positive. The variety and creativity of their menu were impressive, and we found all of the options we tried to be tasty and satisfying. The concept of mixing different buns together was a hit, and we’re definitely looking forward to exploring more items from their menu in the future.
However, there were a few areas where Buns of Glory could improve. While the service was decent, it didn’t stand out as exceptional. Additionally, we noticed that the tables and menus could benefit from more frequent cleaning. Some of the tables had visible stains, and the menus were sticky, which detracted slightly from the otherwise enjoyable dining experience.
In conclusion, Buns of Glory in Haarlem is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy a unique and delicious meal. With its inventive bun creations, cozy ambiance, and playful high tea alternative, it’s a place that offers something different from the usual dining options. Despite a few minor cleanliness issues, the quality of the food and the creative approach to the menu make Buns of Glory a must-visit destination. So, next time you’re in Haarlem, be sure to stop by and experience the bun-tastic flavors for yourself!
