The best food ever! Orders, and it was out within minutes. Good pricing. Great service! We got a free smoothie when we headed out the door. Would come again! The croissant is so amazing, and the homemade raspberry jam is perfect, I wish I could have gotten a bottle to take home.

service was superb, had the bogulgi eggs benny but eggs were too raw, and the owner took back and remade both my friend and I another 4 eggs all dressed, no fuss. It's plenty of food, it's good food, try it if in the area, I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

The beef bulgogi sandwich, mystery soup, spicy roasted potatoes and mystery smoothie were all 10/10. You absolutely should eat here. The owner is also incredibly sweet ❤️

In town for two days to attend a wedding and found this gem. Best breakfast/brunch I’ve had in a long time. The dishes are very creative and the staff are so friendly and warm. We wanted to go again for breakfast on day two but a large party had beat us to it. This is a must try.

It was sooooooooooo good! I had the bulgogi sandwich and my bf had the smash burger. Omg it was more than perfect!!!!! So good! Homemade quality! The meat was solid and juicy! And flavor YUM! And they are the first store when makes extra smoothies they don't waste it they will bring what's extra in a baby glass. Amazing owner and love the decor!

Wow!! It is small with only about 12 tables but has such delicious food :+) The French toast with cheese, bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs was spectacular!! My friend had the avocado toast, which she also totally enjoyed. We also were generously given a sample of their berry protein smoothie, which topped off the meal 😋 I would highly recommend them!

What a great place to have brunch! Loved the service and the food was phenomenally good! Love the variety and the presentation was top notch. We were there with our three kids, and we each had different plates, each of them were very tasty!

We had a lovely brunch in this cozy establishment. It's probably some of the best food eaten on the East Coast. Everything was well seasoned, flavours all balanced, very good portion and value. The owner and staff were very friendly. It is a spot that you can easily miss when walking by, but don't, it had a really good take on classic brunch dishes, nothing tasted generic and sauces were all well prepared. If I am ever back, I would go again.

Have been here multiple times, but the most recent time I went with my girlfriend. I was indecisive about what to get, so after ordering, they brought both me and her an appetizer of what I wanted to try, at no extra charge. They made the experience really special, which I am over the moon about. The service is always absolutely incredible, the atmosphere is super good, and the food is some of the best you can get within 150km. I plan on going a lot more in the future, if I could give an even higher rating I absolutely would.

I recently visited Whynot BU Cafe and had an amazing experience. The pancakes were absolutely delicious fluffy, perfectly cooked, and paired with delightful toppings. The highlight was the exceptional service provided by the owner, who was incredibly polite and attentive.

YQM: best brunch option; Why not BU café? A casual 5 minute stroll from the Hyatt regency, Monctons Korean family-owned BU café is a cute, eclectic, almost Tik Tokish brunch place that serves breakfasts and other meals until 4pm Great service, lovely carnivore options, has vegetarian options and even gluten free. I had the korean beef eggs benedict with roasted potatoes. Great ambiance, and the place smells constantly amazing from the herbs and spices cooking Take a seat back and serve your inner white girl, cause this place is a solid 10/10 and they will be expecting you! Tell them Noah sent you!

Excellent food freshly prepared. Service also excellent. The only issue was the ventilation was poor (this seems to be consistent with some other local restaurants oddly enough). Nothing worse than leaving a restaurant and the smells are on your hair and clothing. I would likely do take out, but not dine in again. Its also very tiny with limited seating.

Ok, so this place is cute BUT... the food definitely did not match the description in the menu. My husband is a professional chef and we love to try all foods, but when the microwave goes off as many times as it did we already knew our food was not going to be good. He ordered an extra cheesy burger and when it arrived the cheese sauce that is dripping down the burger top was all Seperated and currdled he proceeded to give it a try and so did I. The whole burger tasted microwaved, my french toast sandwich was definitely not a Sandwhich and it too was soggy and seemed microwaved as the cheese on top was bubbled like it would have been had it been microwaved. Anyways the food was Not good, we pushed our plates to the side of the table. We continued to wait a long time for the server to come back to check on us,and when he finally did we expressed our dislikes on the meal, so he went and printed our full bill without even saying anything to the owner / cook, he just looked at us and said the prices are the prices. Look, we love food and weve worked in the food industry so complaining is not something we regularly do but this server should not be working in the restaurant industry. We did speak with the owner/chef and she was VERY polite and understanding and did not make us pay for our meals, which we of course left a $20 for their time and we will not be giving this menu another try based on the service and food quality.

Overall had a pretty bad experience and I think their are too many good restaurants in Moncton to justify going here. The ambiance was decent. But their was a permanent smell of burnt toast. The service was extremely slow while simultaneously having very few customers. We waited over 30min for someone to take our order after sitting down. The food was decent but much too expensive for the quality you were paying for.

A small café in the city center. It struck me as a cozy place with pleasant, non-intrusive music and nice lighting. There arent many tables, only about 6. In the center, theres a small island with live plants, which freshen up the interior. We really liked that. The only downside was that some of the plants by the windows were artificial, which slightly spoils the impression. The menu offers a wide selection of dishes, presented in a modern style. They immediately serve water, which is much appreciated. And we especially liked that the chef brings the dishes to the dining area. It would be nice to see more appropriate coffee cups that match the cafés style. Also, we felt that the signage at the entrance of the establishment doesnt correspond at all. As tourists, if we hadnt seen reviews before visiting, we definitely wouldnt have entered the café because the exterior doesnt reflect the atmosphere youll find inside. Parking: Near cafe only paid street parking, one block away we found couple free spots

The food was on point. The Keto platter spinach was slightly salty, but when you paired it with the rest of the plate, it was tasty. But the Raspberry Ginger Fantacy Smoothie was to die for! My date had the peanut butter waffles and felt they were decadent, and paired well with the Nutella Coffee Smoothie. Food was excellent! Service was good, but oddly timed. People who sat down after us received food before us so that was a but wonky, but not the end of the world. Atmosphere was chill, clean and inviting. Mix of hipster and foodie vibes.

We tried this place for breakfast and loved it so much we had to go again a week later. We had the bulgogi eggs benedicts and the roasted potatoes with cheese, absolutely delicious. Everyone has to try them! The second time, we tried the french toast with marbled cheese, and we fell in love again, lol ! The eggs were so soft and perfectly cooked. The server was super friendly and remembered us from our first time there. Although the eating area is small and can get rapidly full, this breakfast place has become our latest favourite in Moncton.

Enjoyed my experience, atmosphere was lovely, but most of all the food was full of delicious and unique flavours. I had the Bulgogi Eggs Bennie, and it was a successful fushion of french and Korean that I would not have thought to do. Beef was tender. I was also very happy with the potatoe soup - which was very flavourful and not too heavy/creamy. I would definitely eat both of those again. The raspberry ginger smoothie was potent but also lovely - felt very revitalizing. The service and owner were polite and kind.

This small cafe has delicious food and sometimes a special lunch price. It is an option to eat something different if you like Korean food. It is a good option if you are in Moncton and want to try something different. Even the eggs that they serve in various forms are a dish that is highly recommended. I sincerely consider it a place where you could spend an afternoon reading with a drink and no one would bother you. Also, I think the owners are always on the place, and their service is excellent.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Whynot BU Café today at lunch. I was cheerfully and professionally greeted and was offered any table that I wished. This is a dine in restaurant and is relatively new to the area. It is clean and modern inside and is nicely decorated. There are a number of two and four person tables. Large green plants adorn the center. It is a good place for a casual coffee and dining experience with a good friend. The service was excellent from the time I entered to the time I left. The food options are ample, focusing on breakfast and light lunch items. They use fresh, healthy, quality ingredients and prepare them expertly. I had the Korean Bulgogi Eggs Benedict. It came with a green leafy side salad with a light vinegrette dressing. The plate was beautiful. The food tasted very good and went down easily. I had a very nice cappuccino with it. Everything was fabulous. I will be back soon with my wife to have a special meal. This restaurant is a gem.

First time here from Fredericton! Came with a buddy and had lots of options in the city and ended up coming here! Smaller cafe, and not a ton of signage, but man o man was it worth it when we came in! Staff was to kind, and food was out of this world.. when your toast with butter and blueberry jam is the greatest thing you ve eaten since sliced bread then you know you are in for a treat! So so good 10/10!

I set the bar pretty high because of hits and misses Facebook posts I had seen. They had all been great and the food looked amazing. I was NOT disappointed. 10/10 I will definitely come back and bring friends next time.

I had the Korean Eggs Benedict and it was by far the best Eggs Benedict Ive ever had! I had it with the salad and the combination of slight sweet and savory was beautifully balanced and fresh! The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were very kind, friendly, and attentive. Overall great breakfast experience!

This is the greatest little café. It never disappoints. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff are so welcoming and friendly with the best service. Just celebrated my birthday there with friends and they made it extra special and even played a little birthday song as we were all leaving! And check out my birthday dessert and their cute little inspirational cups. Even the water is delicious with strawberries and cucumbers and lemon! We were all impressed with our meal and with the extra little touches!

This was my first time at this Cafe and I really enjoyed it. I personally got a BU burger with some side roasted potatoes, it had really great flavours and the potatoes were seriously good. Good portion size for sure. Service was also very good. They have a wall that has pictures of most / all the dishes that added a nice touch. Id recommend this place for sure.

This place was delicious for brunch. I m assuming it s a family business. They accommodate for everything.

So many things on their menu, so many to choose from. Everything looked tasty.

What a gem this cozy little breakfast and brunch spot is! Theres an immediately welcoming feel to the place when you walk in, from the positive and affirming messages decorating the walls to the warm smiles you receive the moment you step in. The warmth you experience from the physical and human Interactions carries over to the truly delicious food. They have several Eggs Benedict options but the one that stole my heart was the Beef Bulgogi Benedict. The Bulgogi, made on site, is a perfect balance of sweet and savory and pairs deliciously, if not unexpectedly, with eggs hollandaise. Its truly now one of my favorite Benedict dishes. Equally wonderful was the BB French Toast, served hot with blueberries, bananas and of course, maple syrup. The Whynot BU Brunch Cafe is unquestionably among my favorite breakfast spots in Moncton and its very much worth a stop.

Vegetarian options: My aunty is a vegetarian but she was the one who recommended the restaurant. At first I thought I wouldnt like it since she was vegetarian but vegan or not, we all had fun and the meals were great. Kid-friendliness: Our little man loved that place for sure! He wouldnt stop screaming, we could easily keep him white with a veg or two though

Food was good but... they need more staff. One guy was there doing everything. Greeting, serving,cooking and processing payments. It took 45 min to get my coffee and almost 1 hour to get my food. Not mad at the guy he was doing his best and was super nice but they would need 1 person serving and 1 person cooking. They need to reassess their business model in my opinion.

My wife had the salmon egg benedict. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was superb. I had the Breakfast burger. It was probably the best breakfast burger Ive had in all of North America. The flavors of both meals shine through, and unlike many breakfast places in Moncton, they did not ruin the flavor by adding too much salt. The owner was friendly and helpful.
