One of the best bakery/cafes in the Peninsula! I never knew about French style scones until I tried one at Bonjour Bakehouse and now I am hooked! They are buttery, fluffy, and full of flavor whether it’s a sweet or savory variation. Their plain scones are a good introduction but I have also enjoyed their salmon, French pimento pepper, and apple varieties. One of the owners was the chef behind the Doughbies startup so definitely try one of their cookies too!
Their coffee is solid as well with lattes being on the milky side but I appreciate having decaf available. Parking can be tough but now they expanded their indoor seating area so it’s worth a longer visit. Also, they are on Too Good to Go occasionally and it’s such a good deal for $6 to try some of their treats! Merci, Bonjour Bakehouse!

I’m a scone lover, and Bonjour Bakery is always my favorite spot every week. Their pastries are always freshly baked, but the scones are the real star, fresh, not too sweet, balanced and absolutely delicious. I’ve tried most of their scones flavors, and today I had the cinnamon & chocolate chip, fresh out of the oven, perfect timing, paired with their black coffee, it was just right. You can really taste the homemade freshness.
Best scones ever! Thank you !

Alomd croissant was i believe the best, size is on the smaller side. What i Enjoyed was that it had perfect amount of almond paste inside as well as it had the right crisp when you bite into it. What i though could have been better, is that i felt too many almonds and prominent butter flavor. My daughter didn’t like the pumpkin scone as she said it was too buttery and not enough pumpkin flavor. Pumpkin tart she also said the crust was a bit stale, but the pumpkin filling inside was delicious. I would like to go back and try their kouign Aman and coffee when I am in San mateo area. I would recommend this location for fresh, homemade pastries if you are in the area as parking can be a bit hard to find.

Came in for TGTG pick up, however, couldn’t resist ordering a coffee (Biscoff latte) as well. Super yummy pastries and strong tasty coffee( for me at least)! Very friendly staff. Turns out one of the ladies is the co-owner, who she was the most amicable, lovely, friendly chatty person that you would ever love to interact with. She is very engaging with all who walk into the shop. I love the friendly neighborhood vibe that you get as soon as you walk into this shop. I think many places should take them as an example of friendly customer service, which is something our society is missing a lot of lately. Definitely plan to return over and over again!

Out of the way and amazing. We stopped by to check out the offerings here and were mightily impressed. I got into the most delicious mushroom toast ever created, and Cindy had the delightful Friday waffle. Lucky score. The owners here are super friendly. Come in and work on your French. Try this delicious food.

Hi François (and Ingrid) and team.
I have been to your bakery a number of times–the first time I visited, François was so kind and welcoming (speaking to me in French). I love your baked goods and I was just there last week with a friend. My employer also sent holiday cookies using your services during Christmas and I was overjoyed to see the very thoughtful baked goods arrive this morning at our office. What an incredibly generous gift!
I look forward to visiting again but wanted to say THANK YOU for being such a wonderful neighborhood bakery shop. It’s always a joy to visit and enjoy your baked goods.
My only suggestion is that your London Fog could be improved. As I understand it, a London Fog is a tea latte made with Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and often a hint of lavender. I believe when I had mine last week it was only a “black tea” so that was a bit disappointing to experience.
Thank you!

My version of the perfect Friday morning is attending the favorite yoga class, savoring just-out-of-the-oven cinnamon scone while sipping a good coffee on a bench under the California sun. And then going to the beach for a quick swim.
Scones are devine as others have mentioned. I love the flavor combinations, too – “honey walnut goat cheese” is very much my kind of savory scone.

When I randomly found this cafe on google maps I just knew it was going to be great just from the photos alone. I wasn’t wrong. Ran 2.5 miles to get here (even crossing the highway), and it was totally worth it. I first got a sweet scone (goat cheese, honey, + walnut) which was amazing. So I decided to get back in line for a savory (pancetta, bacon, + scallion). WOW! I’d run here every day if I could. Unfortunately, I’ll be leaving Burlingame soon.

Wow!!!!! What a pleasant experience. My husband and I wanted to find some croissants close by, and a we remember a friend recommending Bonjour Bakehouse. I walked in not feeling my best , and as soon as we stepped in the owner François greeted us with a smile and a Bonjour. He is so kind!! And had such a great energy to him. The woman as well! He recommended the scones and we were blown away!!!! Soft, buttery, tasty, oh my goodness. A delicious matcha latte, all packed in compostable packaging. (Eco friendly in the Bay Area?!) I really forgot where I was for a second! The genuine kindness, the QUALITY baked goods, the chance to converse in French! Thank you so much for making our day, we will be back. ❤️

I visited this place based on its high rating, but unfortunately, it was very disappointing. I ordered the plain croissant and even took the extra step of heating it up in my oven to give it a fair chance. Despite that, it tasted bland, and the interior was overly doughy, dense and greasy, with signs it hadn’t risen properly. It felt more like a clump of underbaked dough than a true croissant, definitely not worth the $5 for the croissant.
I also tried their latte with non-fat milk, which was equally underwhelming. It was overly bland with barely any espresso flavor, and the paper cup added a strange, unpleasant taste. Absolutely not worth the $5 for a 10oz cup of bad-tasting coffee.
