January 25, 2018 - Essence Bakery and Cafe - Phoenix, Arizona


This was my first Mystery Lunch Adventure.  Carol Thompson went with me.


We both ordered the Essence Egg Salad with Bacon – organic egg salad…with lots of chives and spices…very French with warm pepper bacon and tomato on a toasted roll.  The bacon was delicious..and cooked very crisp…just as I like it…Carol does too!  The roll was fresh out of the bakery…lightly crusted…soft but flaky bread.  I loved the roll..I could have eaten more rolls.  I ordered mine with green salad but mine was served to me with the French Dijon Potato Salad…and I was very happy to be able to taste that salad.  In face while we waited I was upset that I hadn’t ordered it…but there it was right on my plate.  We also each added a bag of sea salt and peppered potato chips…

We both thought our lunches were delicious but we were puzzled because we were charge $2.50 for the bacon..the menu said Essence Egg Salad with Bacon (available without Bacon.  Add Avocado +$.90).  Now does that sound as if the sandwich does not come with bacon.  When we had the opportunity we asked our young man who took our order…and he said..”oh…I thought you ordered extra bacon...”   No…nor did it appear that we received extra bacon..or if we did then the sandwich didn’t come with any bacon as advertised.


We didn’t order any treats.  I would go again…but I would always ask for a detailed receipt before I paid.
