A great spot for breakfast in the Theater District. We were fortunate to get seats before a long queue formed outside. We had the Bonjour Burger and Shakshuka, both of which were delicious. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and polite. I'd definitely return. The space inside is a bit limited, so it's not ideal for large groups.

Walked in on a bustling Thursday late morning/early afternoon, and was greeted right away. As a party of 1, I was also seated right away at the bar area. Took some time for someone to come over and take my order, but nonetheless it was a good experience. The items I ordered looked identical to what I saw online. I enjoyed the blueberry bowl, which essentially was a smoothie bowl, and the kale chicken caesar wrap plate. Both are great dishes, and I highly recommend trying either or both. This cafe gives, elevated diner vibes, it's noisy, family oriented, and casual. If I had the chance, I'd go back for a visit.

Phenomenal time at Cafe Bonjour. They are walk in only and the host who was organizing the line was incredibly kind and efficient. His time for the wait was very spot on and he was reassuring that things move along quick enough. Our drinks came out quickly and our food came out shortly after. The food was fantastic. We devoured it so quickly. The croissant did not feel heavily at all and our mint team was refreshing. It is a busy restaurant but they fit all of the tables and people inside very well to accommodate the popularity. Even so, it is not particularly loud. The location is right off the park street / down town crossing T stops so it's very accessible via red/green/orange lines. I will definitely return again soon.

Came to Cafe Bonjour on a cold Sunday this February, and man did it hit the spot! There was a bit of a wait though by the time we got there around 11 am-ish, so do expect to wait on the weekends. There is also no indoor waiting area; however, there are a couple of heating lamps outside, so it wasn't too bad. Host was pretty attentive, and made sure to call out name at least 2-3x so that he doesn't miss your group. When my cousin and I finally got seated, we were really surprised by how efficient their serving staff was. They really didn't leave much idle time in between, but oddly enough, we didn't feel rushed at all. My cousin ended up ordering the French toast with salmon on the side, while I ended up with the eggs benedict. Both were so good! Flavorful and filling. We were able to go about our day without feeling sluggish but full enough to not feel like we were starving until dinner time.

We were lucky to get in early on. Rainy and cold Sunday morning. Everything met our expectations- 1. Cafe bonjour French toast- sweet strawberries, bananas and whipped cream toppled on perfectly cooked French toast. Best we've ever had! 2. Avocado (toast) tartine - thick layer of avocado with poached eggs and plenty of arugula with tomatoes. I would get this again and again 3. Nutella croissant- so much Nutella, you won't be left with more croissant and not enough chocolate hazelnut goodness 4. Almond croissant this was really good, but next to the Nutella croissant, it was second place. 5. Steak and eggs perfectly cooked, had it with poached eggs. We got three croissants to go, plus a cafe bonjour latte - get it! And a mocha latte, you may want to add a packet of sugar if you like sweet on this one.

Oh my gosh, I loved this place. They definitely are shooting for a Parisian or European cafe and they nailed it. Teeny tiny on the inside so you may have to wait but they seem to turn tables quickly. The food is so good and the price is reasonable - especially for the size of portions. I'm always going to get the Croque Monsieur when it's on the menu, and theirs delivers. Lattes were good too. And you can't go wrong with a sweet crepe. Should we ever return to Boston, we will definitely come here for breakfast.

The staff here was amazing. So nice and so sweet with my toddler. We came here early morning for breakfast and it was not too busy but people trickled in while we were there. The coffee was good and the breakfast signature scramble sandwich was amazing! Huge portion and so delicious. Lots of eggs and avocado. I wanted to go there the next day but got delayed in the morning and couldn't make it. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Boston!

My Bf and I ate at Cafe Bonjour during a weekend trip to Boston. It was very close to our hotel and had good reviews so we decided to check it out. We went on a Sunday around 11am expecting it to be busy and were not wrong. There was a mass of people waiting outside the restaurant. There is no indoor waiting area, so the host stand and waiting area is on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. They have heat lamps and a couple benches which are nice. We were quoted a 30 min wait and it ended up being exactly 30 mins to the minute. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy. It's not very large so the tables are small and close together, but it works for the Parisian aesthetic. Unfortunately we were seated at probably the worst table - down the back corridor toward the bathroom. We had the coat rack behind us and waiters constantly walking back and forth from the kitchen. We tried to make the best of it though, one upside was it was quieter than the main restaurant so we could at least have a conversation. The food was good. My Bf got the Eggs Norwegian and I got the Croque Monsieur Baguette. The portions were a good size. You won't leave hungry. The eggs came on top of my baguette but I ended up putting them inside and eating the whole thing as a sandwich. The service is prompt as I imagine turnover is important for a place this size. While they weren't overly friendly, the servers did a good job making sure we had what we needed. In summary, I would recommend coming here on a weekday when it's less busy, but for us it was worth the wait.
