Hands down, this is the BEST place for good, fresh food! If I could eat here every day, I think I would!

They make everything in house and they are very responsible about getting their food source locally (or not too far of distance away). We picked…More »

The brunch is so delicious, I had to go two weeks in a row! Each adult is $16 and worth every penny!

Typically I steer clear of buffet lines at all cost, but Bistro la Bon is the rare exception. I found myself making multiple trips to try a little of…More »

This is how a farmer's market should be! The nice, bright, and open space is perfect for strolling from one vendor to the next. Today they had a grand opening event with live music and lots of samples.

I was very impressed with how well marked each…More »

4.0 star rating
  Update - 10/30/2011

I wish there was a better distinction between the vendors who are selling straight from their farm and those that ship produce in. I'd love it if they sectioned it off and had better signage.

It can be slightly overwhelming going from one stall to…More »

Bad customer service is a sure fire way to kill the mood. I've said it before, customer service is a 100% controllable factor and unfortunately for 15 North, they failed me in that area.

My husband and I arrived a little after 9:30pm. Their door said…More »

This is our second Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) that we've participated in. This time, however, we went in with another couple since it provides a lot of food for just two.

Depending on where you live, they'll set up a local drop off/pick up…More »

Mmmmmm! And it's real and local!

I just read a report that tests show most store honey has the pollen taken out, which means that it's not really honey. They tested various stores' (many are found in Charlotte) honey supply filter out the pollen…More »

Fresh ingredients, vegan fare...clean eating indeed! For what it is, what you get, and the small space, it is quite good and "reasonable." I appreciate what they stand for!

It would achieve a 5 star review, if somehow they could expand to have a full…More »
