Located inside Antiques at the Market and bolstering its Williamsburg-hipster credentials with a name like Truffles n Bacon Caf\u00e9 I\u2019ll be the first to admit that I entered Jackie Lim\u2019s tiny restaurant as a skeptic but with a selection of specials equally well crafted as those on an exemplary daily menu I emerged a believer; sentiments that even steamy temperatures, amateur service, and a room-full of needy Red Hats couldn\u2019t thwart. Based on the concept of accessible decadence and tucked away in a cozy corner with cute d\u00e9cor it was just past noon when I arrived at Truffles n Bacon and invited to seat myself after self serving the first of several cups of water menus were presented, a thin young man with odd mannerisms butchering pronunciations while more senior servers attended to a private party at the storefront window. Every bit living up to its caf\u00e9 credentials with a crafted menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, and small plates it was with some remorse that I passed over options like the Mac n\u2019 Cheese and Bacon Jam spiked sandwiches but focusing first on a duo of appetizers I was immediately free of regret, the small $2 scone a textbook example pocketed with butter and apricots while all three rounds of bruschetta proved bold and balanced, the saline-sweetness of the haloumi and grape composition particularly enthralling. Moving next to things more substantial suffice it to say that with housemade preserves gilding the proverbial lily one should pay close attention to the buttery brioche enveloped \u2018Monte Cristo\u2019 whose lack of deep frying renders it particularly light \u2013 a matter of particular importance to those with smaller appetites as no one should leave Truffles n Bacon without ordering dessert, the decadent wedge of dark chocolate brownie still molten at its core while two batons of vanilla custard laden bread pudding were treated to a high-temperature sear rendering the exterior caramelized as insides presented hot, jiggly, and amongst the city\u2019s very best desserts.<\/p>\n

\"image065\"

RECOMMENDED: Any of the baked goods, particularly the bread pudding.<\/p>\n

\"image066\"

AVOID: If I wanted to nitpick I guess the sweet potato chips weren\u2019t as crisp as I\u2019d have preferred.<\/p>\n

\"image063\"

TIP: Not only are daily specials truly \u2018special\u2019 but with every item including sides made in-house daily quantities are limited, the sweet potato chips and customer favorite Green Hulk sandwich both sold out by the time I left at 1:15pm.<\/p>\n
