Saw this place all over TikTok and was excited to try one of the cool looking desserts. It was kind of busy but I was able to order quickly. I got the geometric apple and my friend got the latte. They were both okay. The inside of the apple had a bunch of layers inside: Cheesecake mousse, apple compote, caramel, Dark chocolate crunch, chocolate sponge. I'm glad I finally tried it. I might go back earlier in the day to be able to try the other desserts but it wasn't bad.

I'm a sucker for cute pastries and this place got me. I got the geometric apple and I thought it tasted great as well. It was expensive but I thought it was worth it to try. I don't know if I would pay for it again. The coffee was pretty good too. The workers were nice and there is limited seating inside.

The desserts here are super special! We got the pumpkin and chai ones, and I loved the chai one especially. The mousse was super fragrant and light. Each dessert had a unique combination of compotes, sauces, mouses, cakes, etc. and every one felt very distinct in character. They do look a bit silly and overpriced at first but they really do deliver in taste too. Each dessert is $13, which sis definitely pricey but I'm ok splurging sometimes on novelty. There was a little bit of a line inside for the desserts. There was a good amount of tables and seats inside to enjoy the desserts and chat. I'd love to try the apple one!

Desserts are worth the hype at this popular bakery. Each pastry is expertly crafted with attention to detail and a unique mix of complementary flavors. Interestingly, the tastiest ones were actually the most aesthetically basic (pistachio raspberry and coffee orange)

cute café, i was intrigued like everyone else by their geometric apple which i have yet to try! we tried their cortado and matcha rose latte, and they were both amazing. definitely recommend coming here for coffee as well as gorgeous, delicious treats. ambiance: 4.6/5 (small and few tables but very cute) drinks: 5/5 service: 5/5 jonquils cafe & bakery: 4.9/5

Got a sweet treat at jonquils. It is right in Newbury street. The dessert I got was beautiful to look at. It was very chocolatey and melted in your mouth. The service was quick. I need to go back to try the other dessert and drinks

Finding Jonquils was a bit challenging as there's no sign outside like other stores, so we initially walked right past it. Once inside, the café has a sleek, modern design reminiscent of contemporary home interiors. However, the blue leather couch by the bay window was visibly worn--peeling and marked to the point that it really needs replacing. There's additional seating downstairs, though I didn't check it out. Service, however, was friendly and accommodating. For both our drinks, y husband asked the barista to add extra syrup which turned out to be a good call. Matcha Rose Latte ($7) with Almond Milk ($1): He noted that the flavors were distinct initially, but after stirring, it looked like strawberry chocolate milk. Unfortunately, it didn't taste much like a matcha rose latte--the almond milk overpowered the other flavors. The matcha seemed low-quality, as it was dark green with a coarse texture. The rose syrup, which has a dark red color, didn't quite have that true rose taste. Lavender Latte ($6.65) with Oat Milk ($1): The lavender layer was baby blue rather than the expected light purple, which made me double-check if I had the right drink. The lavender flavor was distinct but balanced nicely with the oat milk. This was remarkably better than the matcha rose latte.

Such a cute, trendy cafe located on Newbury Street. They are mostly known for their desserts, which are made fresh daily in-house. Their desserts rotate regularly and I always get to try a few new ones. During peak hours, it can get very crowded here, and it may be difficult to find seating. I've tried their drinks but they are a bit expensive and were alright. However, they have the cutest pastries that you cannot miss out on. They come out super photogenic, and the craziest part is that they taste as good as they look! I've tried a good amount of their desserts by now, and I have to say that Rose is my all-time favorite. I also really love Love and Green Apple. Geometric Apple is a popular one made for those chocolate lovers! One is usually not enough for me because they are too delicious. Sometimes they will sell out of certain items if it's busy, so it's better to go earlier in the day. We tried taking the dessert to-go before, but it didn't taste the same. Don't forget to get a stamp card if you're a repeat customer!

I'm failing to understand the hype about this place. We visited from out of town based on reviews and were disappointed with our entire experience. Jonquils Cafe seems more about the "aesthetic" than the coffee or pastries. Speaking of pastries, I don't know if I would call this place a bakery. Sure, they had some desserts, but the lack of variety was shocking. We paid $13 for a cute Instagram-able apple that looked better than it tasted. We spent over $20 for two coffees and one dessert and left hungry. The coffee was nothing to write home about. As a matter of fact, the iced coffee was pretty bad. They also only have one "regular" size and don't offer a large. Lastly, the place is cute inside, but you can't enjoy it because of its limited indoor space. We got lucky and were able to snatch a table outside. It was also dirty -- the tables were not clean, and the bathroom was filthy. I wouldn't go back here when I'm back in Boston.

Very tasty desserts - just a bit on the pricier side but if you want to treat yourself to a dessert experience stop at Jonquils. I was out shopping and did realize this bakery was on the same street I was shopping on. I got the Apple Dessert and it had the sweetest, smooth layers covered with a very light cream. Everything was cooked perfectly. Service was quick and friendly.

Aya E.

Ordered: Iced Rose Latte (~$7) Geometric Apple (~$13): cheesecake mousse, apple compote, caramel, dark chocolate crunch, and chocolate sponge cake Aya's take: I've been wanting to try Jonquils Cafe & Bakery since they first opened a few years ago and finally got a chance to on my second trip to Boston! The Iced Rose Latte was 1) super pretty, 2) the espresso was fresh since the coffee is roasted in-house, and 3) the bitterness of the espresso meshed well with the sweet, floral elements of the rose and creaminess of the drink overall. Really enjoyed it! The Geometric Apple has got to be one of the most unique desserts I've ever had. I was afraid it would be gimicky and not have good flavor but I'm so happy I was wrong. The cheesecake mousse was soft, sweet, and lush. I'm not big on apple desserts but the apple compote and caramel paired well together and were nicely balanced. The chocolate sponge cake tasted good but could've been softer and more moist. All in all, it was absolutely worth having on my itinerary. If I'm back in Boston, I would definitely try their other dessert/drink options. Highly recommend checking them out and supporting this small business!

When I saw the leaf and the apple dessert on Yelp, it was an immediate, ' I HAVE to have that', feeling. So I bribed the person coming from Boston with my special customized spinach ravioli with sautéed vegetables for bringing this dessert in exchange ;) Was it worth it ?! Well, I got to see up close how a celebrity dessert looks, but then I found out it had gelatin, and I am allergic to that, so, my partner got to eat everything- my special dinner and the most exclusive desserts, I got cheated !!! Booo hoo :( The cafe is in an upscale neighborhood ( not surprising), it was perfect weather for that perfect dessert. I was told that the guy who packed it warned against taking it on the flight as it was mousse and it could either melt, or go the opposite way and harden depending on the temperature it is exposed to as against the controlled environment within the cafe. We got the to-go in any case. The cold flight temperature and the short distance home had helped retain the shape but it also hardened a bit, nevertheless it was still sooo unique- a combination of mousse, apple stuffing and a little bit of cake hidden inside- absolutely worth the $10 per dessert ! " Jus sooo good !" was the reaction of those of us who actually got to relish it. Maybe another celebrity chef will make a celebrity dessert which even I can eat too. Christmas is coming.... miracles happen ;).

I can only speak to the drinks here, since we didn't try any of the desserts or pastries. We got the Spanish Lattes, which I recommend. It was just the right level of sweet, with it not being too sweet, but just enough to have the drink taste good. Other than the Spanish Latte, some other of the speciality flavors included a Rose Latte and a Lavender Latte. The inside of the store has a very clean aesthetic, and there is some seating available. Overall, this is a solid option for a good coffee.

Easily one of the most delicious lattes I've ever had. I had the Spanish style. It was rich and delicious and gone way too quickly! My only complaint was that there was only one person working and she had a hard time keeping up to the kind of about 4. One had a large order including pastries which took a bit. It was worth the wait and I'll assume not normal. The pastry case is full of little works of art. read more

Amazing and quality desserts, tea and service. Jonquil's exceeded my expectations and have the most ascetically beautiful and delicious deserts I have seen! When visiting with my sister, we were overwhelmed by the selection of desserts offered, ranging from "Apple Carmel" or a cappuccino mousse flavored dessert. On top of that I have never had tea before with actual flowers to add color and natural flavor. Great atmosphere and service, and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Boston. read more

Took me long to give them a try as they quickly run out of their desserts on the weekends. I ordered the Twisted Love dessert which is a mix of dark chocolate mousse and raspberry. While the desserts are definitely photo-worthy, I wasn't that impressed with it as a whole. It was a bit too dry, particularly the mousse and the raspberry flavor was too strong. Overall cute place and friendly service but I wasn't wowed by the dessert I tried. read more

Jonquils is an elegant cafe on Newbury Street. The desserts such as the Exotique sphere and the Apple caramel are unbelievably delicious. With all the beautiful desserts, these two I highly recommend trying! The decor of the interior in this cafe is amazing. There is a sense of sophistication and beauty displayed. When it comes to the coffee, I would say there could be some room for improvement. Not really a fan of the spicy sichuan mocha latte however the rose latte is delicious. If you want to go to a great cafe in Boston, Jonquils is the right place to be. read more

I was on Newbury Street with my mom today (8/15/19) and we stopped by Jonquils to get some tea. When we got there, there were a few other customers eating and drinking and there was only one person working at the counter. I got an iced Pu'er Tea (vanilla mint chai) and my mom got a hot White Tea. I brought a reusable cup with me and the person working said it was okay to put my Pu'er in it. When I picked up the order they had put it in a regular plastic cup. I asked them about it and they poured my drink into my reusable cup. I'm a big environmentalist and so I don't like using single-use plastic. I'm glad that the cafe took my reusable cup (because some don't) but I wish that they had remembered to put it in my personal reusable cup. The inside was trendy and very instagramable but nothing too special other than that. read more

Saw this place through instagram and was excited to try it. But, turns out it is hard to buy their pastries! They have a menu hanging on the wall but were sold out of everything by 12:00PM on a Sunday - yes you have to ignore the last 2 pastries in the glass because they are sold but still sitting there which I do not understand. I also find it weird and unacceptable that this bakery can not make their pastry items on site! It really makes you question how fresh are their items and if you don't make the 3D pastries on site, then where is your food coming from?! They advertise that they are open from 7AM until 9PM everyday, but I definitely do not advise making this a cafe or bakery you want to come to if it is after opening hours. You will be disappointed and the cafe will have nothing to sell you. read more

Pricing was reasonable and it's helpful to be able to order at the kiosk but as first timers it made it slightly confusing. We sat upstairs and it helped make things more relaxing as it was less crowded and plenty of room. I think this location is serving the hospital so I suspect it's always very busy.

We weren't sure how to enter, so we started in the bookstore and found their convenient elevator downstairs! The restaurant is tiny but cozy, which is the perfect atmosphere for a book store! We sat outside in the little courtyard and it's a mix of magical and relaxing! There were only a few tables, so it wasn't overcrowded and with nice weather, it was perfect. I had a salad with salmon on the side which was delicious - and the ginger lemonade - wonderful! From buttered noodles to seafood, everything was executed well. The staff didn't rush us even though they were busy - and they had to give really long wait times to a number of others, but we still weren't rushed. I would highly recommend reservations, but even without we were treated very well. Pricing was in line with city pricing - and the food was extremely high quality and produce was lovely - not a shriveled lettuce leaf in sight. We then went upstairs to the bookstore and perused - each floor has something fun to see (including a tiny kids door - or is it a mouse door for the mouse who stars in the book about the store?!). 100% worth a visit - definitely stop in!

We walked into a building with the kind of architectural character that chain bookstores cannot manufacture, with small rooms opening into each other across multiple floors, wallpapered walls, and reading nooks distributed throughout that invite you to slow down rather than move through quickly. The book selection is well curated with staff recommendation cards on the shelves that actually reflect genuine enthusiasm rather than perfunctory notes. We saw limited edition hardcovers and local and regional titles appearing alongside the broader fiction and nonfiction selection. Browsing felt productive rather than overwhelming because the curation kept things focused. The kids section upstairs is one of the more delightful in Boston, with a train running along a track near the ceiling that tends to make a strong impression on younger visitors. There is also an art print vending machine on the second floor that draws its own audience of visitors looking for something small and specific to take home. The cafe occupies the lower level and operates as a separate experience from the bookshop above. We ordered the oat milk cappuccino with Vermont maple syrup, which was worth it. The morning glory scone and the popovers are two other items to consider. The cafe is tiny, around eight tables inside with a small patio, and reservations are recommended for breakfast and afternoon tea service. Pricing at the cafe is on the higher end, and certain fixed price service formats on specific dates push it considerably further, so checking current pricing before booking is worth doing. For a bookshop that doubles as a destination in its own right, Beacon Hill Books and Cafe delivers a cozy, curated experience that rewards lingering. It is the kind of place we would return to just to sit and read with a good coffee.

Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail.

The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro.

Nestled in the heart of the Newbury street lies a pastry shop that defies expectations - a place where delectable creations masquerade as everyday objects, and every bite is a surprise. As you scan the display in this cute bakery, you'll notice pastries that resemble everyday items - a rose that's actually like a tiramisu, a tulip filled with mango and raspberry cream, and even an apple that hides the layers and richness of an apple tart within it. The creativity that goes into each pastry's design is nothing short of remarkable. I sampled several, and each one left me in awe of the pastry chef's artistry. All of the pastries looked so good that you almost feel bad eating them. The flavors are diverse, ranging from classic to adventurous. Whether you're a fan of traditional pastries or keen to explore new taste sensations, this pastry shop has something for everyone. The attention to detail is astounding. From the realistic appearance of the pastries to the careful selection of ingredients, it's evident that the team here is passionate about their art/craft. This bakery stands out as a shining example of culinary creativity. I can't recommend it enough to anyone seeking a truly unique and scrumptious adventure. It's a perfect place to bring a family member or a date you want to amaze. read more

We asked for a cake way ahead their required time window for our very special day, and only to find out two days before our special day that they didn't make the cake for us at all. Then, they refused to make the cake for us when there are still two days of time. So no cake for us. Important update: shortly after this review is posted, one yelp user claimed that this review is from a former employee of this bakery who deliberately wrote this negative review to hurt the bakery. This claim is untrue. Now I am worried about the wellbeing of that poor former employee. Please do not hurt his/her career just because this review is perceived to be written by that person. I have now shortened this review to solely state what has happened without any subjective descriptions of my feeling towards this place, hoping that such a review will not be perceived as from another random person who has negative feelings toward the place. read more

This place is really overhyped for what it is. Desserts are nice, but it doesn't make up for a cramped venue and less-than-friendly service. Looking at other reviews, it seems like the owner (Marc B.) gave themselves a five-star review and is beefing with a former employee here, both of which I find incredibly unprofessional. Seems like they're not going to take reviews about the subpar service to heart either, which is a shame. read more
