I have been visiting Bonjour Cafe regularly since it opened in 1992. Sixteen great years of eating superb breakfast (and lunch) at a wonderfully warm and cheery cafe, like you would find in Paris with inside and outside dining.

Their prices are reasonable, and not once have I had a bad meal. On the contrary, they have been imaginative and delicious. Of course, I have my favorites for both breakfast and lunch. Who doesn't. Not surprising, every time I try something new that the server or owner recommends, it turns out to be my new favorite dish. That continues to be my favorite until they convince me to try something else....and on it goes.

For breakfast, I usually have a crepe dish or their special omelettes. Lunch is fantastic,too, and each time I visit I just start at the top and work down the menu or order what they recommend. I would give you the names, but they are written in French (with English sub-titles, of course).

In any language all the selections on the breakfast and lunch menus are delicious.

I now drive over 45 minutes to visit my favorite restaurant, Bonjour Cafe.

I have been going to Bonjour Café for many years now. I would with all confidence say that it provides one of the best breakfasts in the entire area. I always recommended this café for family members and friends. Bonjour Café is friendly, warm, with a French atmosphere. The coffee latte they serve is one of a kind. The food is well prepared and healthy, and every bite will give you a great taste experience. As for an authentic French Café The prices are moderate and acceptable. I am always eager to have breakfast at Bonjour Café because of the creative food and service.

I loved the Bonjour Cafe'. I felt like I was in Paris again and of course the food was excellent.

You cant go wrong with any of the crepes'. And if your really hungry you should order the eggs benedict. The Hollandaise sauce is wonderful.

Neat little cafe that offers "French style" dishes overcooked in the typical south of the border fashion.

Too bad the food isn't prepared with a little more care by a French trained/style chef - it could easily be excellent.

I ordered eggs with smoked salmon, onion and chive. I asked if the kitchen could add capers. I'm not sure if I offended the chef or if the cook was inexperienced. 1/4 cup of capers was added to a dish containing about two eggs and two ounces of salmon. The result was inedible and absurd by any cullinary standard. I mentioned it to the owner who defended the kitchen indicating a similar dish is always prepared with an abundance of capers. They charged me extra. Very disappointed.

This cute little cafe' is amazing. The food is perfection and the ambiance is very "french". Sitting outside makes you feel like your in Paris. The staff are very warm and friendly and french too ! Any of the crepe' dishes are lovely and of course the quiche is yummy. You can't miss the wonderful little place when your in town. Sit and enjoy !!
