Stopped by around noon on a Sunday-was hoping to try a croissant but they were out. I'd seen their cookies at the airport before so I decided to try a rainbow cookie and one of their strawberry scones. The scone was amazing! Buttery and soft but with a nicely crisp exterior-it was so delicious I went back to buy two more for later. The rainbow cookie was great too-definitely pretty sweet though so would eat this over two sittings. We were able to easily find street parking. Would definitely stop by again next time we're in the area! read more

A little neighborhood gem tucked behind 101. Honestly, it was a bit difficult to find parking within the block of the cafe, but definitely could find some parking in the residential areas. The cafe was busy - all the tables outside were filled with customers and so was the inside. The team member was friendly and patient while we scoped out what to order. They had a nice assortment of pastries on display and they look very fresh. I got the suisse chocolate pastry, which was really good. I kind of wished they would offer to heat it up, but it was fine. For a drink, I got a caramel latte. The coffee was nice and strong. I'd come back to try a different pastry. They had interesting flavored scones, even savory ones too. read more

Bonjour Bakehouse - Caramel latte and suisse chocolate pastry - Bakeries Near Me - San Mateo, California

I've been here several times, and everything always tastes incredible. The croissants are buttery and flaky, the kouign-amann is perfectly caramelized, the scones are delicious, and the focaccia is outstanding. You can really tell they put care into their baking. The only item that didn't quite stand out to me was the cookies, which I think could be improved. That said, everything else has been consistently excellent, and this has become one of my favorite bakeries. Definitely worth a visit! read more

3.5*** Rando place that's right across from an industrial building and surrounding area so, it feels like you're lost and plus parking isn't great. Despite that, service was great. There's seating inside and outdoors. It looks linked to an actual kitchen - guessing that's why it's called Kitchentown. Taste testing done on site in addition to production? If so, that's efficient! The food looked yummy! Ordered: Egg-tine 7/10 The black sesame seeds were good but then the sunflower seeds adding with the cheese in the center, uhh, it was ok. I took off the center - see pic of actual product with the center in tact. That made it taste better. The croissant was my fave part - crispy yet flaky and oh so soft in the middle. Jamon fromage 10/10 Basically, a ham n cheese croissant. This was delish. Unsure if you've eaten at Croissante; but, their jamon fromage isn't that great compared to this. Theirs has mayo, which completely throws off the taste for me. In any case, this was a success. Latte 3/10 Way too milky and not enough flavor. read more

Such a fun find on the edge of the city! The scone was so light and fluffy - I want to try them all. The apple turnover was also quite good: flaky, not too sweet/balanced flavors. It's a fun vibe inside with people excited to start theirs days with some delicious pastries. read more

honestly, if I'm in the area, I would want to stop by Bonjour. Any chance that I would get? For a small business bakery, that was on my ones former clients pastel. This is a gem for anything breakfast pastry. Their scones are simply the best I've ever had. I even went for a salmon scone, which I don't normally go for savory, but it hit the Marc. The service was really good and the ambience was a sitdown café with outdoor seating read more

Bonjour Bakehouse - salmon scone - Bakeries Near Me - San Mateo, California

Bonjour Bakehouse is a hidden gem located near SFO in a quirky residential area. They offer coffee, teas, both savory and sweet scones, and some unique pastries. The pastry selection is incredibly large so its normal to feel overwhelmed. There is no parking lot, only street parking so expect a little walk. There are a few outdoor tables as well as some inside tables. There are two gender neutral restrooms which both have baby changing stations which I would say is very thoughtful for families. * Lemon scone - very soft and more cakelike in texture. Lemon flavor is strong but not overwhelming. The sugar glaze makes it a bit sticky and counteracts the tart lemon tang. * Cinnamon roll- *only sold on sundays* This was delicious! The cinnamon roll is light with a crisp exterior and delicate notes of cinnamon spread throughout the pastry. The cream cheese frosting is decadent and creamy. Its a good ratio and doesn't feel too heavy to eat by yourself. * Salmon scone- I ordered this because I was craving something savory. It was pretty small so no more than a few bites. The bagel seasoning on top adds texture and grainy salt bits. The salmon is soft and smoky. It was good but compared to the other pastries, it didn't stand out to me. * Caramel latte (hot) - it was lightly sweetened, with balanced coffee flavor and milk. The coffee isn't too acidic and very easy to drink. I like that the drink wasn't too sweet so you could enjoy the pastries together. Bonjour Bakehouse stands out for their wonderful selection of high quality pastries and solid coffee options. If you're looking for overly sweet specialty coffee, I would look elsewhere. They serve authentic coffee using Ikon Coffee beans. Their outdoor patio is great for soaking up some sun with your pup. read more

This place is tucked in resident area/workshop industrial place. It is really hard to find parking and they only have street parking. The place was spacious with lots of seating indoor and outdoor. The staff that was helping us seem wasn't smiling and was not really very helpful. She kind of made us feel rushed when picking out what we wanted. The pastries were good and they had really unique flavors. read more

What a gem! They had a very nice spread of pastries - especially a big variety of scones. The staff were friendly enough and were helpful in giving recommendations. We ended up getting the seasonal apple scone, the always sold out cinnamon roll, a butter croissant, a pancetta scone and a ham and cheese croissant. Everything was really delicious and I really liked the size of their pastries - they were just right. The item that surprised me the most was definitely the pancetta scone, it had so much flavor and the pumpkin seeds were a nice touch. There were plenty of seats and the coffee was good too. read more

I've eaten a lot of scones and these are the BEST scones you'll ever have. They're so, so soft and moist and they have a ton of sweet and savory options. So far I've tried the blueberry, blackberry, and classic scones. All are amazing. If you only try one thing here, please let it be a scone!! read more

Delectable croissants, scones & many baked goods at Bonjour Bakehouse located at Kitchen Town, an incubator for food businesses. Located in a mixed residential & commercial industrial area of San Mateo that borders Burlingame, street parking is a bit hard but getting to this bakery is worth the effort. I suggest getting here earlier in the morning as they do sell out. We enjoyed the chocolate croissants (called Chocollini), lemon scones and plain scones which were all very very good, with good texture and flavor. Prices are reasonable. Coffee and other drinks are available too. They also offer sandwiches and savory baked items. Indoor and some outdoor seating. We will be back to support this business. read more

This was a total accidental find and easily one of my favorite breakfast detours ever. We were originally headed somewhere else, but Google Maps had other plans. We got here around 8 ish on a weekday and parking wasn't bad and snagged a spot right in front. They have a cute little outdoor ordering window with a couple seats outside, and the inside has more seating and felt like a legit industrial bakery setup. You can see trays of cookies coming out. The Yelp reviews told me to get a scone, so obviously I listened. I grabbed the plum scone and it was crisp on the outside, soft and buttery inside, and just the right touch of sweetness. I also ordered the mushroom croissant toast and it checked all the boxes. Drink wise, I went with their seasonal orange mocha and it was a solid choice. Rich chocolate and bright citrus is a great combo. Extremely friendly people here! They also had treats for my pup, Mocha.  Can't wait to come back and work through the rest of the pastry lineup read more

Great little friendly side window that looks into the huge expanse of a commercial bakery. By the time you pick up a delicious almond croissant or mushroom scone with coffee at 7am the bakers are gone to their next job. We're eating what they started around 10Pm at night until 6am and now it's quiet and speed racks are empty. Croissants are fresh as the other baked goods. Coffees are good too. read more

Hidden Gem Worth Every Single Bite! My husband and I visited the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago. While searching for good coffee, Google brought up Bonjour Bakehouse, and we are so glad we decided to check it out. The shop is tucked away from the crowded areas; it is a true hidden treasure you would never run into unless you were specifically looking for it.On our first visit, we were lucky enough to meet the owners (a wonderful husband and wife team). They are the absolute nicest people and warmly helped us with our selections. We ordered the savory ham and cheese croissant, and it was out of this world! It had a million layers that were perfectly crispy on the outside, yet plushy, soft, and gooey on the inside. We also tried the goat cheese & honey scone and the cherry scone. Both were fluffly, flaky, and beautifully balanced without being overly sweet.The latte was outstanding as well, though the pastries completely stole the show! Everything was so incredibly yummy that we ended up returning two more times during our one-week stay. Now we finally understand why the whole world goes crazy for French pastries--we experienced it firsthand right here in California read more

The coffee and baked pastries are really good. I've ordered their sourdough loaf a few times which I also recommend. However, I've tried their specialty lattes and the specialty flavor have been very subtle. There has been a couple of time where the people at the front have been be a bit rude or short with me or chatty with each other while I'm trying to order and pay. read more

Just one taste of the Bonjour Bakehouse scones, and folks are consumed by deliciousness. No one speaks. Try the savory varieties and take home a box full of the sweet ones. The raisin snails are superb. The croissants are decadent, flaky, and often filled with fresh, local ingredients. I've also ordered cookies for special events. Guests snapped them up. Everyone who works there is delightful. It's a good spot for meeting friends, great for impressing new contacts, and perfect for a moment by yourself, not speaking among the quickly disappearing scones. read more

Whoever lives in this neighborhood is so lucky to have this little bakery gem!! I was working in the area and craving coffee. Then I looked up French bakeries and this came up. - expect a line (even on a Friday morning) - it sells out fast - it's so delicious. I got the chocolate almond croissant and it's everything and more. I also got the ham and cheese croissant and that was it! All I needed was a side salad. - parking is off street so that can be a challenge but worth it. I parked far away so the walk really helped. - I got the numeric ginger latte - well balanced for me and not overly spiced. I am looking forward to going back, it's worth it! read more

Beautiful and amazing pastries + coffees I enjoy every single items here but the croissant was the one that is closed to the one I had in French. I also love the cheese scone and plain scone. The chocolate scone was a little too sweet but good to pair with coffee Coffee was strong and amazing. My friend enjoyed the Mocha and I love my cappuccino One of my most favorite pastries on San Mateo. I hope they have restroom there since the coffee hits hard ‍ Service was fast and friendly Love the outdoor seating and the good vibes here. read more

We visited Bonjour Bakehouse and tried a few of their items: the Ham and Cheese Croissant, Mushroom Toast, and Smoked Salmon Scone. For drinks, we ordered two "I Love You A Lattes" (a latte with white chocolate ganache), a ginger turmeric latte, and their seasonal orange espresso tonic. The total came to about $50. Food-wise, the Mushroom Toast was my favorite. It was savory, well-balanced, and packed with flavor. The orange espresso tonic was another highlight. I appreciated how the sweetness of the tonic complemented the bitterness of the espresso without overpowering it. The baked goods tasted great and were clearly made with honed skills, but I wish they offered the option to heat them up. We were told they aren't able to warm the items because they only have large ovens. The Ham and Cheese Croissant, for example, would have been even more elevated if the cheese had been melty instead of firm in my opinion. As for the drinks, the espresso tonic was refreshing and bold. The "I Love You A Latte" was not overly sweet, which I liked, but I didn't taste much of the espresso. It also had a thick cap of foam, making it feel more like a wet cappuccino than a latte. We sat at one of the outdoor tables, which added to the relaxed, casual vibe. The service was friendly and speedy enough. I would definitely come back. Next time, I will probably take the pastries to go so I can warm them up at home. read more

They're open on Sundays now! Came by at 10a because my kid goes to Jackie Flynn Irish Dance Academy (BEST Irish dance school ever!!!!) and unfortunately for my waistline and blood sugar, Bonjour is now open on Sundays. It's a window with outdoor tables and chairs. There was a table with a bunch of adult and kids books to borrow and read, including French kids books. Lots of families were hanging out in the tree-lined area and passing a beautiful morning. Drip coffee was solid, and the chocolate chip scone was the best scone I've ever had. Craggy crunch-crispy edges, tender interior that wasn't dry at all, nubbins of delicious slightly bitter chocolate. SO good. Given that the majority of the families hanging out were French, I'm going to assume the other pastries are just as solid. Can't wait to come back to try more! read more

I woke up super early one Monday morning and decided to come by around 7am. It was relatively easy to park since it was so early and no cars were really out and about yet. I had no idea what to order so got a ham & cheese scone and a few scones. I loved the sweet scones, a lot more than the savory ones. The blueberry scone was so tasty with really delicious pops of blueberry flavor. I wish I lived right by this store so I could come by more often. But it is quite pricey for each pastry so maybe that is a good thing! read more

The space is big, offering indoor and outdoor seating. The parking situation though will likely prevent me from visiting more regularly. read more

Run don't walk to check out this special place tucked away down Howard in Burlingame! I've been meaning to search it out for years now back when it was just a service window and finally made it! The scones are delicious- particularly the savory ones - recommend warming them up at home to elevate the experience. I tried the bacon scone and the mix of flavors complimented so well. The also have scones frozen available to bring home which is a win win! They have expanded from the little service window to a delightful cafe with ample seating and that San Francisco or Portland cafe vibe. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Their scones are to die for. Perfectly flakey. I've tried their cookie and pastries in the past, but the scones are what keeps me coming back.

Don't say you don't like scones until you've tried theirs! read more

Bonjour Bakehouse is becoming one of my favorite bakeries in the Peninsula! You can see the owners behind the counter hard at work while also making drinks and serving customers. This spot offers several unique varieties of sweet and savory scones and pastries, plus coffee and tea. I enjoyed my iced Americano and lox cream cheese scone on a recent visit. Their apple turnover is also delicious and I plan to come by for Friday waffles. Definitely try one of their scones and a drink to enjoy outdoors with their sidewalk seating. read more

Bonjour Bakehouse - Bakeries Near Me - San Mateo, California

Bonjour Bakehouse has always peaked my interest given its location next to the freeway in a non-descript location within what otherwise would be considered a quiet neighborhood. On this most recent Saturday, I had a friend visit from the city who wanted to try them out, which gave me the perfect excuse to finally make my way there. The inside is very industrial-looking and intriguing, and I can definitely see how Bonjour Bakehouse could support a large catering option. Their scones were flavorful and surprisingly moist (in a good way)--their butter croissant was also extremely flavorful (and rich). What stood out the most is how chewy and delicious all of their pastries were. I'm already thinking about the next scone I get from them! read more

This is a really cute bakery! I had received cookies from Bonjour Bakehouse from a friend for the holidays and loved them so I had to come check it out myself. Turns out it was the old Kitchentown location, a cafe I used to love to do some work at. Not sure what the story is there but they still have the kitchentown signage. The staff were really friendly and helpful when we had questions about the cookies and pastries so we came out w a decent haul of both. Everything was delicious but my favorites were their seasonal oatmeal cranberry cookie and butter croissant. I'm weird. I like oatmeal cookies and this one had just the right amount of sweetness and chew. I don't typically order butter croissants but I tried it on a whim and it was really good! You could taste the richness of the butter and it was both crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Only thing is they don't heat up pastries for you even if you're eating it there (I wish they would). Anyhow, definitely recommend giving this a bakery a try! read more

Delicious pastries! Enjoyed their fresh fruit scones and almond croissant. None of the pastries felt overly sweet which was a nice change, and they were baked perfectly. Super sweet owner as well, we enjoyed chatting with her. Deducting one star because their coffee was underwhelming. I ordered the ginger turmeric latte and found it quite flavorless. They also don't have any indoor space/seating which would be nice to have as an option on a cold morning. read more

Wanted to love this place because their scone are delicious! But I came one day 20 minutes before closing and the man working said they did not have any coffee left and that the barista already broke down the espresso machine so I could not order a drink. The barista also left and was outside adopting a cat . The guy at the register seemed clueless. I will return because everything is delicious, but just felt they were lacking professionalism. 3 stars for customer service. read more
