She was so excited when she found Cafe Bonjour because they had several gluten-free options on the menu. We took an Uber there right after we landed and were able to walk right in and get a table when they opened, which worked out perfectly because the place started to fill up! It's a cute little spot with plenty of seating inside, and they also had a nice outdoor parklet that would be great in good weather. We asked to sit at the bar so we could watch the cooks in action, which was really fun. The menu had all the classic breakfast favorites like eggs and French toast, along with some lunch options like hamburgers and chicken wraps. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the gluten-free eggs benedict and absolutely loved it. I had the Bonjour omelet, and it was delicious. Overall, this is a fantastic breakfast spot with great food, a fun atmosphere, and solid gluten-free options.

Waiter didn't bring out water, didn't offer any cream or sugar for coffees, and was difficult to flag down to ask for extra plates/utensils. The inside is quite cramped and we were shoved into a tiny little corner. Overall a meh place for brunch. The appeal is the convenience of the location. Other than that I'd stop somewhere else for a brunch.

But we got lucky and we were promptly seated at the counter. I had the classic breakfast plate with bacon, sausage, home fries, and fried eggs. Everything was very delicious. The bacon just had the right level of crisp to it. It looks like there are quite a few long time customers to this place, which demonstrates that the quality of the food here is probably very consistent. The service here was awesome. The manager lady (her name is Regina) was very attentive, warm, and friendly. The ambiance overall like I said is very cozy. I always enjoy a good home made breakfast in a small diner. One thing to note that is that this place is cash only.

Definitely a cute little cozy corner

First of all, the pastry case just beautifully displays all the baked goods. It's quite a sight to see! I love the variety and flavors, very unique. If you know what you want, gotta get in line and grab it quick! If you wanna put in your own order, you can use the kiosk, which is really fun to use. I ordered a chai with oat milk (it's very light in flavor) and got a bialy. Honestly I had not had a bialy in over 25+ years... and was surprised to see it in the case and I had to have it. A corn + cheddar bialy. It did NOT disappoint. I also got london fog with oat milk previously, also very nice, but this place was soooo good we had to come back. My daughter loves pop tarts so when she saw it in the case, she got a blueberry pop tart and said it was very flakey and the jam was very jamful. It was the-last-one, even had the sign stuck in it!! She also got the french toast (2 slices) with kid's milk and said it was the best french toast she's ever had. My sis got a chocolate pain suisse, which I had never seen before. It's basically brioche filled with pastry cream and chocolate. It looked delicious and with coffee, my sis ate the whole thing up. All in all, this place has so much delicious eats.. I can understand if you live here, you could come every morning and still not get to everything in the pastry case! Definitely be back if we're in the Boston area again.

It was not just a superficial checkin but he was genuine about answering questions about local items and airport concerns.

Our one complaint about the room is that the sofa bed was super thin. Thankfully the front desk was able to send up a thick topper that did the trick. The location of the hotel is perfect for walking around the city. The weather was so hot so it was nice to be able to stop in when needed to take a break from touring around.

The smell of bacon was too good to keep moving past it and we decided to head inside. Best happy accident!! Any place that has staff wearing shirts that say "Stoked for yolks" and has an array of pig decor- jackpot!

As of August 2026, the website lists the burrito as $14, but the price on the in-person menu was $16. I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich. Overall, this is a very solid breakfast spot in Boston!

This place. Great place? Or the greatest place? Definitely the latter. Fortunately, a fellow coffee snob pointed me to this place and I got to enjoy the friendly service and a delicious chai. The prices are unbeatable as is the selection. Perhaps the best thing about this place aside from the coffee is the freshness of the food. Everything here is prepared to order. If you manage to see the back of the house, you'll see exactly what I mean. What other coffee shop prepares food on stove top and has its own deli slicer for sandwiches? Perhaps the only downside (that doesn't deserve a knock of a star) is its hard to notice. I frequent the parkway and didn't even notice this place until a friend mentioned it. Also worth keeping in mind the place is very cozy and small, so I wouldn't bring 10+ people with me intending to sit inside. Good to see fellow yelpers feel the same way! I hope they do well and expand, because this type of quality service, product, and prices are impossible to come by. read more

I really need to make a habit of coming here more if it wasn't such a rough commute for me. I love this place. I love the options, the foods, the gorgeous brazilian goddess and coffee master behind the counter. Everything. The vanilla chai? TO DIE FOR. Don't waste your time at the dunks down the street. Stop here, get a drink, grab a bite, take a load off, flirt with the barista, daydream, and go home. The prices are very reasonable. I hope they open up a shop closer to me though :( I'd live there if I could. read more
