Amazing pastries and staff. Get there early because they sell out. There are some reviews that slam the fact they sell out quick., but what would you want- pastries do good they sell out or stuff that sits in the case because it's Meh? Stop by and support a local business... you won't regret it. read more

The first time I went to this place was during Covid and I just went a couple weeks ago and it is worth the hype. We got two eggs in a hole and a cinnamon roll. They were all amazing. read more

I had really high hopes for this bakery, especially since it's part of the local pastry trail, and overall, it delivered a solid experience. First off, it's definitely one of those small, tucked-away spots you could easily miss if you didn't know it was there, but once you walk in, the decor is so cute. Think cozy, shabby chic vibes that make it feel warm and welcoming right away. The standout for me? The dinner roll. Honestly, one of the best I've ever had. It was dense, rich, and satisfying, not your typical light, airy Kaiser roll. It reminded me more of a Jamaican hard dough bread in texture and weight, which I personally loved. Super flavorful and filling. I was also really happy about their buy three, get one free promotion. It made it easy to try a few different things without feeling like I was overdoing it. As for the pastries, I tried the cinnamon roll and carrot cake. I didn't finish either, but the carrot cake definitely gave true homemade vibes. It had coconut mixed in, wasn't overly sweet, and felt more traditional than indulgent. If you like a less sugary, more classic-style carrot cake, you'll probably appreciate it. Overall, this bakery is worth a stop, especially if you're exploring the pastry trail. Not everything wowed me, but there were definitely some highlights that made it a good visit. read more

I have been dying to try this place after I saw some social media videos about it! This place has 5 stars for a reason and totally lives up to the hype. All the pastries are made fresh every morning with great quality ingredients. You can taste it! They also make all their syrups in house. Their vanilla uses real vanilla beans! You can see all the vanilla specks in the latte, cinnamon roll, and anything that uses vanilla extract/syrup. My partner got the vietnamese coffee. Although not authentic, tasted delicious. My vanilla latte was equally delicious. A latte with a hint of sweetness. Perfect. Our favorite items were definitely their biscuits! Not dry to all! Super moist and very flavorful. Their cinnamon roll, petit pastries and chocolate croissant were tasty as well. I have to talk about the service! The person that was at the register helping us was just the sweetest person! She was so kind and helpful. She also threw in a free dinner roll. The coffee barista was equally kind. I wish this place was closer to us. It is a fantastic spot and I will definitely be back. There's a few tables to sit and do work as well. Loved the colorful decor, it felt very cozy. read more

I have not had one bad thing from here. I save my cheat days for her scones and butterscotch lattes. I love coming in here, as everyone is so helpful and kind. The owner is so generous and loving and you can tell that this is a genuine passion of hers. Whether you preorder, go in and sit or take away you will have a great experience. I recently learned that if you put in a pre-order and the shop closes early, you can still pick your pre-order up at the candy store ( BouNom Emporium) across the way. She's really thought of everything! read more

I discovered this spot once my mom moved to her new house in Canton, CT. I was looking up cute cafes nearby and Bounom Bakery popped up. I instantly was intrigued by their aesthetic and their great looking pastries! Once I saw their cinnamon roll go viral I knew I needed to see what's the hype ! Let me tell you, IT IS worth the HYPE . Everything about it ! The fluffiness , the way you can sink your teeth in with each bite , so soft , perfectly sweet and the dreamiest icing you ever did eat! My mom and I now come here once a month for our monthly cinnamon roll date just because we love it so much! The service is fantastic , the staff is super friendly and will always accommodate to anything you need! I always feel like everyone genuinely loves working there when I walk in! Def has that family type vibe! So so good! They make great coffee and such a wonderful matcha latte too!! read more

I've been coming here for years and even when I moved out of state. I still make sure I stop by for treats. The owner Khamla is such a sweetheart!! By some miracle, she remembers me and always ask about my mom. This bakery is the best place to get an almond croissant. I've tried them other place, even internationally and nothing can touch hers (just make sure you pre-order any of the stuffed croissants). She puts some much love into her baking and it shows with every bite. The shop is quaint and charming with seating. And when you walk in the door, the display case will take your breath away. Definitely stop by for the best baked goods in Connecticut!! read more

Khamla and her warm, friendly staff really know how to make you feel special. From the moment you walk in the door, to when you are choosing from a selection of the most delicious pastries you've ever had, to being rung up at the register - you feel like you're walking into a friend's home and they are ready to take care of you. There are a handful of third spaces and bakery/cafes where my partner and I are regulars, and BouNom is at the top of that list. We can't seem to stay away. Khamla is not only generous with her patrons, but with the community at large. Her space is inclusive, welcoming, and so easy to feel like you can be yourself. It is no wonder that she is a crowd favorite in this region! Our faves : bacon egg in a hole, blueberry petite bites, blueberry maple pound cake, cheddar chive biscuits - honestly anything you order will be no doubt delicious! read more

BouNom Café & Bakery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

BouNom Cafe & Bakery has been on my foodie bucket list for a while and finally checked it off my list! It is worth the hike and I highly recommend visiting early to have the best selection of items because they will sell out. They specialize in French and Southern-inspired bakery items. We visited on a Sunday morning, the crowd was steady, but we got through the line quickly and efficiently. There is a small seating area, decorated with blues, cute, cottage style-decor. We scored a table to eat a few of our treats and enjoy our tea and coffee. My mom and I got a variety of goodies from sweet to savory: Scallion Roll, Tomato Bacon Cheese Bite, Blueberry Petite Bite, Wildflower Honey Buttermilk Biscuit, Cinnamon Roll, Caramel Bun, and Latte Bun. For drinks, I got a Matcha Latte with Butterscotch and my mom got a Maple Cardamom Latte. The drinks were piping hot. The pastries and baked goods were phenomenal--where do I start? The Latte Bun was to die for that it had a lot of cocoa and espresso flavor like they grounded up chocolate-covered espresso beans. I anticipated the cinnamon roll to be really good. Shout out to Jason P. for the reco since I learned from his Instagram Reel that BouNom's Cinnamon Roll was on a list and named Connecticut's best cinnamon roll. This cinnamon roll was might just be CT's best... The bun was moist, cinnamon-y and sweet, but the real star for me was the icing. Not too sweet cream cheese icing with vanilla bean. It was SO good! It's surely a must try. Like most bakeries, there items will rotate with a few staples and the offerings maybe different during your visit. I loved my matcha latte because it was perfectly blended, had a lot of flavor, and not too sweet. My mom enjoyed here coffee and we liked that there was a variety of unique flavors like cardamom rose, maple cardamom, and seasonal flavors. All our goodies were packed up in the cutest take home box. They pay close attention to the smallest details. The prices are a bit steep, but the quality is worth it. It was a long drive for us and we indulged. Highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the area. read more

Wonderful. Heard about this place, friend was in area and brought some pastries back to New Jersey.

Incredible bakery, what a gem! Everything they make is absolutely declicious! My daughter loves the lemon madelines. I asked for a cold coffee recommendation and they made me the best Vietnamese coffee!! Came back the next day for another! read more

This is such a cute bakery. The owner of the bakery was at the register and she was so incredibly kind and had such positive energy! We went on Valentine's Day and they were sold out of many items. I was able to pick up a BouNom roll and loved it - I warmed it up a bit after getting home and it was delightful! read more

Absolutely adorable cafe. Have been waiting a little to try this place as I heard a lot about here. Definitely go early as items will sell out ( they sold out when I was there!!) you can also preorder if you want something specific but I can see why the hype for this place is high. Absolutely delicious and a great addition to this area. The pastry was soo good and I can't wait to try more. I had lemon loaf cake and was too sweet with a coffee. Perfect little morning treat- strongly recommend read more

Took a little bakery hiatus but had to come back and try these new items, very delicious. Banana chocolate muffin {5/5}: Hands down one of my most memorable muffins I've had in awhile. Maybe I'm weird in that I love very moist and flavorful muffins and this was just that with plenty of bananas and chocolate throughout. Finished it before leaving the store....will have to buy multiple next time Sausage biscuits and gravy {4/5}: I'm not the biggest fan of biscuits and gravy, but this was I could get behind. Buttery golden biscuit that went really well with that sausage gravy. Scallion roll warmed {4.5/5}: if you love cheesy bread and scallions, you'll absolutely love this. London fog {4.5/5}: fragrant and sweet, great for a cold day read more

The pastries were absolutely delicious! The matcha was AMAZING, the vanilla bean flavor was so strong and perfect! The ambiance was nice, I loved the fresh flowers at the tables. The service was great, super friendly and understanding. My moms drink was too sweet for her liking (her fault since she asked for mocha AND vanilla flavoring) and they were able to add more milk to dilute it a bit, but also offered to remake it for her. read more

BouNom Café & Bakery - Vanilla Iced Matcha, peach upside down cake, cinnamon roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

I came here during one of the snowstorms this month, the owner was gracious to share multiple free goodies! I tried the breakfast sandwich, cinnabon, two of the peppermint cupcakes, the chocolate croissant, blueberry loaf slice, chocolate chip cookie, a gingerbread molasses cookie (I'm pretty sure this was the name and/or chai cookie), and cappuccino with caramel syrup. The syrups for the coffees are made in house which is great! Personally, my favorite was the gingerbread molasses like cookie. It had the perfect chew. The other goodies didn't not disappoint. The best part, the exceptional service - which is why I say definitely worth a visit! read more

This place was so good! Some of the best pastries I've ever had. The owner and staff were so sweet and helpful! BouNom was so cozy and very cute inside. Would definitely go back. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Go early before they sell out. Buy as much as you can. Some of the best cinnamon buns in the state, by far

Such a cute place with incredible pastries and a very talented owner. My cappuccino was also top notch, and was just as good as the ones I had in Rome. I think I'll be stopping by this little gem once a week when I run my Saturday errands!! read more

I've gone a few times and service and atmosphere is great. Make sure to come early. Everything is amazing so they can sometimes sell out.

The first time we tried to go there, everything was sold out, so they closed early. The second time, I made sure to order ahead prior to pick up. The place was so cute with a sit in area that had your typical cafe vibes. I was surprised there were items left when I went to pick up my order the next morning (Friday) at 11 am. Everything in the showcase looked mouthwatering. I admittedly plan to try everything haha. They sell French and southern inspired pastries. The story of their family immigrating from Laos to the US was similar to my family from Cambodia. It's inspiring to see them become successful! The prices were high but the products were quality; I think it's worth it. I ordered an iced chai latte to go as well; this drink was good. I'm looking forward to trying their hand crafted lemonades next time. The showstoppers were the pastries. I ordered the cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissant, Southern sticky pecan buns, and egg in a hole. The egg in the hole was amazing. I was only planning to take a bite since I already ate my lunch. I couldn't stop and ended up finishing it. It has egg, cheese, chives, and chopped ham/bacon in a croissant. The sticky pecan bun was buttery and sweet; the candied pecans had a sugary crunch to it; the most amazing sticky bun I've ever tasted. My husband had the cinnamon bun and said 10/10. Pro tip: put in microwave for 5-10 seconds, even better. In conclusion, I will be back sooner rather than later! read more

Cute place but the hours aren't consistent. It's hard to get them before they close or plan for a trip there. They close when they sell out. While it's understandable it just doesn't work for me. read more

I don't know where to begin . Every once in a while someone knocks it out of the park & this place hit a grand slam in a World Series. I am a trained pastry chef and have worked in some very upscale bakeries in my day . I know what a good bakery is supposed be. First , the interior- it's adorable and bright and cheery . Comfortable seating which allowed us a great break on our 20 mile bike ride. Every thing was wonderful from the staff to the scones and pastry. Their coffee is delicious and staff and owner so nice & helpful . I thought the scones were the best I've ever had. Perfect taste, texture and size. The owner brought my friend who is a reg -a piece of cake to try . It was a slice of yummy heaven . I absolutely love this place . Their little lavender bags remind me of France & brought back many good memories. read more

Cute French cafe, great service and friendly.Nice selection of breakfast items and pastry .

I came here since I went to get my car serviced at Hoffman in Simsbury and have been wanting to come since. I got to the bakery around 11:50 and majority of the baked goods were all sold out. Once everything is sold out they close. I ended up getting the banana chocolate chip muffin and some macrons. The banana chocolate chip muffin was really good. It evens had big slices of banana in it. Definitely different from places that sell banana chocolate chip muffins. Normally the banana will be all mashed up and incorporated into the batter. This one had a one up on all the banana chocolate chip muffins I ever had. It was sooooo good. The place had a cute and inviting vibe once you walk through the doors. I highly recommend this bakery even though majority of the stuff was all sold out. But that in itself tells you how good the place is. Definitely have to try and get there earlier. I want to see what it looks like when it first opens with all the baked goodies. read more

I've been wanting to check out BouNom Cafe & Bakery for a while, but their limited hours have prevented me from doing so. They are also located in a plaza in Avon, where it took me alot of circling around to find them. It was a Friday at 12:00 when I arrived, and they were closing at 2:00, according to the hours on the door. I walked inside to find a beautiful space. There were fresh hydrangeas on each table, lemon wallpaper, and floral chairs. I stood in line to order something. When Khamla the owner of BouNom exclaimed "take it all please", pointing to the remaining slice of cheesecake, a lemon tart and a croissant. What is happening? Well, it seems like they had to close early due to running out of baked goods. They were giving away the remaining products. I went to order iced tea and coffee. Guess what? She didn't charge me for those either. I have never before experienced such generosity! I left a decent tip of course. Because they were closing we had to enjoy everything on the bench outside. This cherry cheesecake was absolutely dreamy, so creamy and fresh! The coffee and the tea were just as we like them. I had the peach ginger iced tea, it was sweet and invigorating! We followed with the croissant, it was flaky and crispy. It was delicious plain, I'm sure they offer other varieties. The next day I had the lemon tart cake. This was a bit tart of course, but so creamy, the outer shell, was soft and melty. When we were done, Khamla saw us struggling to find the trash, she popped out with a trash bag, and offered us to come inside if we needed the restroom. We told her how completely delicious everything was! What an absolutely kind and gracious soul Khamla is! Thank you! read more

EXCELLENT FOOD! SO delicious!! Love French bakery style food. Kind employees as well. I'll definitely be back!

I cannot not put into words how amazing BouNom is. I drove almost 45 minutes to try this place and it did not disappoint by any means! To put into perspective, I specifically really wanted to try their cinnamon roll and when I arrived, they had let me know they were out for the day. (Tip: do an online order the day before to avoid this!). Instead I ended up getting their Cheddar Chive Bacon Biscuit and Peach Bites, and the owner ended up giving me a free goodies to try knowing I came all this way. That was extremely thoughtful and I was blown away by their customer service. After sitting down and enjoying the ambiance for a bit, one of the staff members come out with a cinnamon roll saying they had an extra in the back and that it was on the house...wow, I was just speechless and couldn't believe it. I want to let you know that was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had, and the cream cheese frosting is to die for. Everything I had was marvelous and I give so much gratitude to the owner and staff members. I will gladly make this drive any day for their amazing pastry and bakery items! read more

So happy we have a bakery and candy store like this close by! The pastries are beautiful and yummy!

What can I say about BouNom that hasn't already been said? The busy little cafe is a great place to relax with a friend and enjoy coffee. But it's the pastries, cakes, and all of the other baked goods that will bring you back time and time again. read more

Where do I begin? I live in Long Island, NY and had been hearing about this bakery from friends that live in CT for MONTHS. Well, I planned a trip to CT and made it a point to visit. I was NOT disappointed. The ambiance is Parisian Bistro Chic with floral accents and cool conversational table areas. This place gets slammed so reserve your food early or at least get here early. The service was so inviting and warm. None of that 'too bored to care' attitude worn by so many college age food service workers. The workers here are smiling & engaged. Now the food: I was lucky enough to meet the owner on this visit. She's a charmer and is obviously well invested in her craft. She had great recommendations and was happy to explain ALL the items. I had macaroons, pistachio croissants, pecan sticky bun, caramel bun, cheesy garlic biscuits, crème brûlée, cinnamon buns and flatbread. Even a ham & cheese croissant. I don't know if she makes the ham in house but it is quality ham and you receive a generous slice. Every last thing I tried was high quality and luxurious. I packed up a bunch of goodies to bring back to friends in NY. I just can't keep this one to myself. Asked the owner if she had plans to expand and she was really coy so I can only hope NY will be on the list when and if she does. But I'd happily plan another trip to CT and make BouNom a stop. Last thing, not sure how she does it. But nothing was too sweet. Not the cloying sweetness I often get with pastries (I'm not usually a sweets person). This was the perfect balance of sweetness and quality ingredients- it really let the skill of the chef shine through. Anyway, crazy how I didn't get many photos of the food- I was too busy scarfing it down Definitely stop by- you will not be disappointed! I obviously drank the Kool Aid-- and the coffee read more

My first experience with BouNom was a summer Sunday back in 2020. I had seen it nominated for best bakery in Connecticut magazine and my family and I decided to take a ride out there to try it. That experience was absolutely life-changing. Not only were the pastries absolutely extraordinary, but I experienced what may have been the most hospitable customer service ever. While my family enjoyed our pastries and cherry lemonade in the exquisitely decorated cafe, the owner came over and sat down with us to chat. She then proceeded to give us a variety of other pastries to try (on the house) and even introduced us to some of her staff before we left. I could not get over that experience and I proceeded to tell everyone I knew that they absolutely had to try BouNom. Since that day, BouNom has become synonymous in my family with special occasions. What do I want for Mother's Day? A trip to BouNom. My daughter's choice for birthday breakfast? BouNom. The fact that it is a bit of a hike for us is no deterrent whatsoever. If we know we are even remotely headed to that area, a suggestion of BouNom is always made and enthusiastically agreed upon. My personal recommendation would be the Cherry Vanilla Cream Cheese croissant. The portion so big that it takes me two days to finish. My daughter would say pain au chocolat or the chocolate chip banana muffin. My husband loves anything with fruit and often bounces around the different specials that are offered. We usually place an order online the night before and, while ordering a coffee during pickup, we might find a few more treats to put in our box. How lucky we are to have this treasure in our corner of Connecticut! read more

Amazing pastries, huge selection of sweet and savory options. Awesome customer service, they treat everyone like family. Added bonus: They contribute so much back to the community! They are a busy bakery so I always preorder online and then pickup later. They also are the creators of many items that sadly others try to copy but never make as delicious as Bounom. Def go check it out! When you go dont forget to go to their other store in the next building, Bounom Emporium, you will find popular Swedish candy and sweets, snacks and drinks from other countries. read more

OMG! Lord I should be slapping myself for taking so long to get my butt here. It's about a 20 minute drive without traffic. So I have no excuses. So I had to drive to Avon for a Dr appointment and decided to squeeze a visit in. And I really do mean squeeze cuz I made it here on a Thursday afternoon at 1:45 And they close at 2:00. I was greeted with smiling happy faces. Even though they had almost empty cases I was still able to walk away with some tasty treats and they threw a few extra treats in my box since I was the last customer of the day. Sometimes it's the simple things that taste absolutely sinful like a thin lemon cooke with a drizzle of icing crisp on the outside soft interior with a bright lemon punch. Oh, that Bacon, Scallion and Cheese laced biscuit nice light crunchy exterior on the outside moist tender interior with flecks of cheese and scallions and bacon. It was like heaven. I think I'll be dreaming of that biscuit tonight. Washed down with an Iced caramel latte with a homemade caramel syrup which puts it over the top... Starbucks who? You can't even compare them. I can't wait to dig into the Pecan Sticky Bun..... What makes this shop shine is the very friendly staff. They even gave suggestions about some other local Mom & Pop places to try. I can't wait to visit again. read more

BouNom was on a list of places that I wanted to try. I could not have asked for a more amazing experience! Absolutely everything about BouNom was incredible. The ambiance was so cozy and welcoming. The staff were friendly, helpful, and polite. We enjoyed the cappuccinos and a variety of pastries. As it was close to closing, the staff brought over a box filled with pastries that had not sold because everything is made fresh! I made a point to speak with the owner to express how impressed we were, and we had a lively chat about our Mom's as my husband and I had brought mine. TRULY A GEM!!!! read more
