Bonjour Cafe Bakery

Fresh croissants, great service, and a cozy place. 🥐♥️ I recommend ordering the apple, almond, the classic plane croissants. There’s a nice seating area outside with holiday vibes, you can enjoy your hot cup of coffee with a freshly baked croissant while listening to French music. 🎵

Absolutely AWFUL!!! Me and 2 other nurses who work at the University of Chicago hospital went here after our 12 shift for breakfast. They sell a sandwich for $9.50 but when we went to order the lady told us it’s $15 because they only sell the sandwich with a cookie and coffee. We told her we just wanted the sandwich and it was advertised for $9.50, the owner came around to the front and yelled at us saying the sandwich is $15 whether we wanted the coffee or not. He told us if we didn’t like it to just leave and he started slamming things around. We were shocked to see such rude and aggressive behavior. We just walked out. When I told other people at work about what happened, 2 other coworkers said they had bad experiences too and no longer go there. If you want to be treated horribly and pay an exorbitant amount of money for a sandwich, then go here. Otherwise, avoid this place.

The pain au chocolat was quite puffy and tasted closer to bread than a pastry. The chocolate on the inside had hardened at room temperature, making the interior crunchy (zoom in on the photo). Whole Foods sells a crispier, tastier version for $1.25 each. And for what it's worth, that one is closer to what they sell in Parisian bakeries.

June 3, 2022 I ordered a latte. There was a mixup about the size, but the latte itself tasted great, a traditional espresso drink. Note: they have aligned with the American standard of 12 ounce minimum size for lattes and cappuccinos, and I didn’t see signs of any 8 ounce cups. I also didn’t see a flat white on the menu, which is sometimes a backdoor way of creating an 8 ounce option. They ask had a tasty full of tasty looking baked goods as you would expect of a French themed bakery. And the people behind the counter even speak French-accented English!

Friendly people and delicious desserts. Just as an fyi if you want to pay with your credit/debit card it must be over $4.00 dollars. I don't really have any complaints. It is a solid cafe with a nice cozy feel along with it.

Smoked Salmon breakfast & Quiche Breakfast. Their baked goods are very fresh and delicious, and the smoked salmon omelette had generous amounts of smoked salmon :)

Delicious buttery croissants. And coffee is very good too, too bad they don't serve it in regular porcelain cups.

Always fresh, definitely a pleasure. Picked up a delicious muffin, Hot Chai and some Macarons.
