I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! The café is absolutely charming with a bright, cozy vibe that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your morning. I ordered a coffee, the French toast, and everything tasted so good, fresh and was made with care. It was one of those breakfasts that simply puts you in a good mood. Even though the café was busy, the staff never seemed rushed. They were kind, welcoming, and made everyone feel taken care of. If you're in Corpus Christi, I'd definitely recommend stopping by for breakfast. Good food, great coffee, and a lovely atmosphere--I know I'll be back the next time I'm in town.

Just enough food and pretty satisfying breakfast. Their "cloud cakes" are really the stand out here. Ricotta pancakes with a hint of lemon zest. Rich but not too heavy. Overall, would definitely make a stop here again if in the area.

With a 4.4 rating I would think our visit would be great. However there were just too many things…read morethat screamed not good. I admit I had heard they're breakfast and lunch are great. We thought we would visit for dinner at about 6 pm . Place was totally empty when we arrived; a very wait person say us and very nicely waited on us throughout. I had the two bratwurst with red cabbage and German potatoe salad . Now usually to me , bratwurst should be full juicy sausages of a considerable size . What I got was a little better than two hot dogs that were cut in two length wise. The potato salad was somewhat greasy and not too remarkable at all. The red cabbage was only passable. The whole thing seemed like it was warmed up from lunch , in that it came out surprisingly quickly and was tepid rather than hot. Microwaved maybe even. My partner had pork schnitzel, spaetzal and sauerkraut. The snitzel seemed ok though tepid . The serving size though was somewhat smaller than what their online pic showed but my wife said that she didn't need anything bigger . My wife said the spaetzal was good though I tasted it and thought it seemed warmed up. The oddest thing is that the sauerkraut was mixed up with mashed potatoes. The texture was weird and it was missing the tanginess of sauerkraut and , again, tasted warmed up. Is this a way to "stretch" sauerkraut of all things? The problem is they just started dinner service I guess in the last two weeks according to our server . On top of all this it was exorbitantly priced . Whereas I might visit during breakfast, I may not fit dinner for a while to where they can build a better experience. The waitress was very nice and accommodating.

We went about 9:00 am and it was packed. It only took about 10 mins to get through the line to order. Once we ordered, it took about 5 mins to get our coffee and probably 15 mins to get our food. We ordered turkey hash and the biscuits and gravy Saturday special. The food is delicious and very complexed flavors. Both dishes were tasty. We also bought a croissant that was still warm and fell apart, too good. You will not be disappointed here. The environment is welcoming as the entire staff is friendly and accommodating.

I really wanted to keep loving Bien Mérité, but after three attempts, I'm extremely frustrated. Each visit has involved inaccurate and constantly changing wait times. My first attempt on 4/10 around 2pm in the afternoon. It was just me and my 15month old baby, there was only 2-3 tables occupied and I was told 45 minute wait with an almost empty dining room. I asked the hostess due to me being 9 months pregnant and having a toddler if I could just at least sit down while waiting the additional 45 mins and was told no. So I totted out my baby and myself, bought pastries and left. The second attempt I was quoted an hour , waiting the full hour and checked back in with the hostess stand only to be told it was going to be an additional hour, on top of what we already waited again. Third attempt (Sunday, April 26) waited a full hour, checked in once again with the hostess and was told it is now going to be another 90 minutes on top of once again the hour we already waited. I understand waits happen, but this level of inconsistency feels disorganized and disrespectful of customers' time--especially when expectations are set incorrectly from the start. I'm just asking for transparency and honesty here. It's disappointing because the space is beautiful and I've always supported this business but the waitlist management and homestead stand seriously needs improvement on honesty and management of times.

Bell'Aroma had breakfast and lunch options in addition to their array of desserts (we definitely need to go back for the food) plus caffeinated and un-caffeinated drink options. Even though they are undergoing a renovation, the place is still pretty in pink!
