The folks from Bun started their business a couple of years ago by using the ovens by day at a pizza restaurant in Rotterdam Blijdorp. As their popularity raised, they looked for their own place and found it in Rotterdam West at the Nieuwe Binnenweg.
Bun, I think, is named after the Chinese version but with different dough made daily and always fresh. The place is run by a couple of cool young kids and is busy and vibrant. On Fridays around lunch, the cue might be long, but it's always worth the wait!
My favourite is the Vegan Extravaganza, but the BLT is also delicious when I'm into some meat! Well, Bun has never let me down. Drink a nice soda next to it, and there's nothing more you can wish for. Right, maybe. They also bake their cookies, have that as a dessert then!
