Bocado: Un Petit Bistro

Running some errands in Pleasanton and decided I wasn't going to miss an opportunity to check out Bocado again! Came in on a Friday evening and was quickly greeted by Chef Diego. The first time I got to try Bocado: Un Petit Bistro, it was all in sample form for an event. While I was hoping to try something new this evening, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The Bello Panini, Flor Ceviche and Estrella Crepe were SO good, that I had to get them again (in full sized orders this time)!The panini has a buttery crunch and the portobello is so perfectly seasoned, with the Serrano and avocado adding the perfect touch. The ceviche had a little more of a citrus/acidic punch this time (maybe a little more than I'd prefer), but it is easily one of my favorite things. It's a vegan ceviche in which cauliflower is used, and the first time I tried it I remember going in with minimal expectations, but it's a definite flavor bomb of goodness!The Estrella I ordered to go. Took me a little over an hour to get home, and she traveled perfectly. Perfect dessert to end the evening!It's a good thing I don't live in Pleasanton. I'd be here far too often!Cute little boutique style bistro with several delicious menu options. Don't pass up this not-so-hidden gem!

We came here on a weekend evening and there was a good amount of people in the restaurant. When you get in, you order at the counter and the food is then brought to your table and your plates are also bussed when you are done. My partner ordered one of the specials which was a grilled cheese and tomato soup. I ordered a crepe I created myself with mozzarella, avocado, and some spinach.The tomato soup was delicious and very creamy. Highly recommend. My partner said the grilled cheese was basic. I also thought the crepe had a good batter, but that it could have been crispier and had a better texture. Also, the cheese wasn't melted and the spinach was still sort of cold. Not sure it was cooked as well as it could have been. But overall it was fine. I do also wish there were more vegetarian options.The service was very nice and there is plenty of indoor seating. There is also street parking.

As an international foodie, we are SO Lucky to have in our hometown USA Backyard...IMB, well rounded Fusion right in downtown P-Town, what a great crew he has hired matched with the Cuisine w/o the high prices. Service as above is always seems to be fulfilled for a cute but bright unique cafe' bistro and fair to say the fare as well in quality, taste and choices! Yes I am way passed twenty times here, yes 20. The feel of niceness, out of this del la playa and en wrote alla francais with some Filipino and of course esta bien LATIN vibes and tastes give this place, well lit . I enjoy especially the puddings and of course...zzee BEST CREPES IN THE TRI VALLEY! Thai flavored seems best. You'll have to chose the one that fits or suits your tastes best.On my way of number 25 today, can't miss Bocado, a small bistro for my taste needs.

Still excellent food and service while remaining consistent. I have been getting the Parisian and Caramel Latte delivered as my weekend breakfast once or twice a month. I love the nuttiness of the buckwheat batter. Felt like something different today, so for my brunch delivery, I tried the Yorkish and added egg and side of fruit. Sooo yummy and a good choice. And I have to give a shout out to the little details of cutting slits on top of the box to vent so I don't get a soggy crepe. I love that!!! My caramel latte and large OJ (bc I'm sick) is was great too. Keep up the good work guys/gals!

I've been there a couple times to meet up for lunch with a friend and also my son during a weekday. Service is Swift and decent. There's a good amount of crepe and sandwich options. Ambiance is quaint and clean interior. The food is pretty standard and average with nothing spectacular. All in all a solid lunch spot.

We came during Friday for lunch and the place was cute and quiet, more of a coffee shop esthetics. Staff was super friendly, checked in on us several times to make sure the food was good. Ube latte - sweet Ube syrup pairs perfectly with espressoCroissant sandwich - crunchy and flaky croissant served warm with ham, egg and cheese Tiramisu crepe - thin crepe with generous amounts of tiramisu cream inside, delightful

We came on a Thursday afternoon. Order 3 crepes , 1 panini and 2 drinks. Chicken pesto crepe- was good! It could be bigger for the price ($18)S'more crepe- good price but a bit too sweet , I guess that's what s'more isTiramisu- it just has cream inside . Maybe if it has some soaked lady-finger inside, it would have more textureCalifornia Panini - it was soooo good! The sauce was yummy with everything else inside! High recommend it!Decaf Mocha - I was excited about Four barrel coffee but it was way too sweet for me!!! I couldn't finish. Ube latte - didn't know it was with coffee , the lady was nice enough to make it without coffee for my daughter. She liked it. But the one with coffee looks good too! Oh the side salad was very good too!Overall, the sweets are too sweet for us . Savory food was good! There wasn't too many servers there. Alot of times , no one was at the counter and they were all in the kitchen when we needed someone.Also, we just serves ourselves with getting utensils and napkins. I asked for 2 empty plates but didn't come until after we were done with our sandwich! I wish the service was more prompt. Looks like they need to hire more ppl.The atmosphere was ok. A bit more casual than I expected.

We escaped the summer 104 deg heat at this cute little place off Main Street. I had been wanting to try this place for a while and our visit did not disappoint! Cozy bright eclectic interior with drink and food off menu "specials" adorning the counter. Griendly and attentive staff. The food was freshly prepared and was soooo good!Filipino ceviche, Kinilaw - exceptional dish with fresh tuna, coconut milk, vinegar and tropical aromatic spices that made the flavors pop! Beware of the spice level as this dish has some kick!Chicken Pesto Crepe - generously portioned and beautifully prepared with creamy pesto, chicken and cheese in a lovely crepe. It was delicious!Crepe Suzette - perfect light lunch choice on a hot hot summer day, did not disappoint!Chai Latte and Iced Tea - perfect choices for the 104+ deg heat of summer!

Great crepes - size, consistency, made fresh with fresh fruit and other ingredients. The egg scramble on Saturday and Sunday is made fresh with your choice of items. Friendly staff. Cute restaurant just off Main Street.

If I could give 0 stars, I would!Very rude Staff!!! When I walked in, there was a group of people in front of me. The restaurant was pretty empty at that time, with only 1 table occupied.The staff greeted the group in front of me and based on their interaction, it looked like they knew each other. They were talking and talking ..... while my friend and I were waiting to be seated. After around 3 minutes of waiting, I started to wave at the hostess to get her attention and she still ignored us. One of the person in the prior group started to notice that we were still waiting to be seated and let the hostess know and yet the staff still ignored us, as if we were invisible. After 5 minutes of standing there being ignored, we finally left the restaurant.This is absolutely ridiculous and I never expect that a restaurant can completely ignore the customer but this one did. Based on this situation, I can't help but to think that she was racist. If you are "Asian", do NOT even bother spending your money here.
