“Wow… this place is incredible. Awesome wings that are meaty and they have great flavor choices. I love the Italian herb. Pizza (try the Grandma) Sicilian and NY style are available. Great selection of food with daily specials. We ate outside which is covered by cool sails. Inside seating as well as a separate picnic table section. Dog friendly with water bowls. Pizza stands are empty crushed tomato containers. Super friendly staff Plenty of free parking and they have music on some nights.“

“Dined solo on a Wednesday night. Had the steamed mussels from the specials menu as starter and the Thai seafood curry for dinner. Both were well prepared. Seafood fresh and plump. Good flavors. Attentive and friendly service. Very pleasant night.“

“Excellent service. I asked Jenna if they could make a fruit smoothie without Greek yogurt because I'm lactose intolerant. She talked to the employees, then came back and said yes and that she would make it herself. I'm glad they understand food allergies without any problems. Great job!“

“Administrative details - While you usually must make a reservation a year in advance (which I did), there are a very few earlier spots available on their website. In addition, if you are on the email list, they send the occasional last-minute availability. Talula’s is BYOB. The price was $125 and with all the other things, taxes, gratuities, it came to $160. The Nook Table is available for 6-8 diners and the Farm Table is for larger parties. Website link is below. Everything is presented in “tasting” small portions. In addition to the menu, they provided a couple of additional offerings. I did not do a good job of capturing the delightful descriptions of the food provided by our server. (The next time I go, I will video the descriptions if they allow.) The group did a great job of bringing wine which was beautifully poured in appropriate glassware by our server. The server also paired the wine with the offerings for us! The service was exceptional without being pretentious. After each tasting, plates, utensils and glasses were cleared and refurbished so discreetly that you hardly noticed. The menu changes with the “farm to table” availability. My favorite was a squash tarte. [I was delighted to find that I did not like the foie gras. It is “made” in a most inhumane and horrible way. This is the only time I have eaten it and I will never eat it again.] I was sorry to find that by the Black Garlic Beef Ribeye (#6 on the list), I was getting to the point of “too much food.” The only downsides were “too much food” for most of us and the wines they suggested for the pairings were hard/impossible to find. I personally did not like the varieties of wines they suggested for pairings. The rest of the party enjoyed the comparable wines they were able to find and allowed the server to pair with the tastings. I will be making a reservation for next year very soon. I have already made a reservation for the “sister” Talula’s Garden in Philly for September.“

“Two of us split the buffalo cauliflower wrap and chili for a light lunch. Both were great and fresh, but the chili especially was spiced very well. The chai chocolate chip cookie at the register was an impulse buy, but we did not regret it. A few other vegan options we didn't try that looked tasty, including a banana cake dessert.“

“We go there at least 4 or 5 times a week for breakfast with our Breakfast Club friends - Food is great and owner, Bechem, and workers all put up with us! (Thank them for that) Great selection of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner!“

“Took my mom here and had the best experience, a great place to shop.“

“The best baguettes ever!!“

“I held my daughters baby shower at the Centreville Place Cafe and everything was absolutely perfect. The food is outstanding and the staff is friendly and exceptionally accommodating. From the planning to the event day the owner Liz was attentive, flexible and receptive to all of our ideas. She helped us pick the right assortment of yummy food to round out a perfect menu for all types of guests, including gluten free and vegetarian. Liz has a gift for adding beautiful touches to everything that makes it feel very personal and special.“

“I had takeout today from Nudy’s café and dealt with a specific representative named Brandon! Not only was Brandon, extremely friendly, punctual thorough and thoughtful. He asked the right questions and was very accommodating. I accidentally did not know that there were multiple restaurants within a 15 mile radius and accidentally at first went to the Paoli location when I arrived a nice lady at the front helped direct me to the right location and at this point nudities was about to close. I immediately called the Malvern location and spoke with Brandon again notifying him that I had not been from the area and had gotten confused about what location I was supposed to pick up from. He was almost apologetic, even though it wasn’t even his fault. It was my fault. I am very grateful for how sweet he was regarding my foolishness. He was extremely sweet and kind and would highly recommend this place. The food was awesome thanks, Brandon.!!!!“

“We have been customers of Bonu Cafe Express - Exton for several years, for sit in, take-out, as well as for family meals for holiday dinners... We've always been pleased with the friendly service, delicious food quality, and value... We recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter, and approached to owner about catering the event for 35 guests... We enjoyed a feast of humus, chicken kabob, beef tenderloin kabob, grilled fresh vegetables, and rice... The meal was ready to go as scheduled, we were provided with chafing dishes and sterno to keep the meal warm, and enjoyed a great dining experience... Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal... A big thank you Bijan and his team!“
