    What a cute coffee shop. I am soo glad my friend told me about this place. They have a cute outdoor sitting area for warmer months and they have a separate quiet room area. I had never seen this before at a coffee shop. It was my first time here and I will for sure be back. I hear it gets very busy especially on weekends so go early! I went on a Monday morning and it was not too bad at all. I got a honey salted iced latte. WOW it was delicious! All of their seasonal/ specialty coffee drinks looked very good. The barista was super nice as well. I told her I was allergic to nuts or if there is nut milk in the shop and she said there are no nuts in the shop. I was shocked and excited to hear that. This also seems to be a good place to do work if you are a work from home person. I highly recommend this spot!

    I didn't get many pictures when I visited because there were so many people. However, I ended up going with a French toast latte which I added vanilla cold foam to. It was a perfect pairing and I highly recommend it. Expect a long line during peak times. The baristas were so friendly and welcoming. They kept the line moving very fast. Once I ordered, I only had to wait about five minutes for my drinks. It's worth the wait!!

    I visited on a busy Saturday when the line was almost out the door. It was a little bit chaotic however, the baristas kept the line moving fast. I ordered a French toast latte and a homemade pop tart. Both were absolutely delicious and the French toast latte tasted exactly like French toast. They have a few couches and tables along with another quiet room for low conversations or somewhere to get work done. They also have a large outdoor seating area. If I lived in Boston, I would be here every day. I highly recommend checking out this coffee shop.

    Finally found myself in the neighborhood and had to stop by. Their winter seasonal drink menu all sounded great but I settled on an iced peppermint white mocha matcha, which was amazing. All the flavors felt balanced and it was the right amount of sweetness. The space is bright and colorful, with plenty of seating in the main area as well as a separate room through a glass door. There are also clean bathrooms available. I would definitely come back to try out more of the seasonal menu!

    Thankyou Staff for the really great coffee and vibes.

    The food comes out nice and hot! The bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich tastes so good. I need to try the other breakfast sandwiches too. I ordered a vanilla latte, but they have lots of seasonal and special drinks available too. Inside the cafe there is a quiet area, which seems nice. But I sat outside on a comfy couch and it was a great vibe. Only complaint was that the line to order was about 30 minutes long, so be forewarned about a wait especially on the weekend.

    Found the most delicious looking lattes in Boston! Glad to report they taste great!!! There was a wait to get inside and order, but after that it doesn't take long for your order to come out. There's lots of seating inside and outside. Everything is so cute! I got the cannonball cinnamon bun latte, the figgy piggy breakfast sandwich, and a giant s'mores cookie. Everything was delicious! The coffee with cold foam was delectable, the sandwich was filling, and the cookie was perfect with a hint of salt. This place makes me so happy and I can't wait to come back!

    I am strictly a caramel latte girly but I decided to try one of their seasonal flavors because they're known for it and I loved it! I got the pumpkin s'mores and I was very happy that the flavors were more reserved and did not just taste like a ball of sugar (besides the marshmallows on top lol). My boyfriend got Americano with caramel apple cold foam and it had a really strong, true flavor of caramel apple. I think their seasonal drinks are super unique and worth coming to try. I also ordered the cannonball sandwich and was very pleased with it: filling, interesting, and not greasy! Expensive but on par with hip coffee places. I would be back to try next seasons flavors!

    Finally stopped by Cannonball Cafe after seeing so many reviews on TikTok and their seasonal menu. Went on a Saturday around 11 am and there was a huge line outside the door. I think we waited in line for about 25 mins and the drinks took about five mins to come out. I got the cherry vanilla float and my friend got the cold brew with blueberry pancake cold foam. The price came to about $13 for both. The cherry vanilla float was my fav, it wasn't too sweet but a nice treat. The blueberry pancake foam needed more flavor but it was okay. I considered getting one of their pop tarts but the tray was right next to the register where people were constantly talking and reaching over. There's plenty of room to sit inside or outside the cafe. I really like how the outdoor space is decorated. I'd try something else on the drink menu since they change it every season.

    Typical Boston prices (expensive), but the space is cute and trendy, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Drinks are given at the counter, with food brought out to your table. I loved that the sandwiches all come with 2 eggs and got the cannonball special. There are so many unique syrups and foams to pair coffee with, in addition to tea-based and caffeine-free drinks. My initial choice had run out, so I went with a cold brew with blueberry pancake cold foam. It was amazing and tasted exactly as the name suggests.

    Cherry vanilla latte

    This was great coffee in a small space. Coffee flavors and options were unique . My only gripe would be they make their own syrups . It would really take them up a notch . Service was nice , menus are every where with descriptions of all the drinks . They also sale pastrys and breakfast sandwiches if you feel hungry . Cute place and should be apart of your routine . ( I had the cherry vanilla latte )

    I've been to Cannonball Café a few times now and have loved it every time. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. I've tried two of their seasonal matcha drinks and both were amazing. I also had the Piggy Figgy sandwich and it was sooo good. There's usually a long line, but it's definitely worth the wait. Great vibes, great food and drinks...this place is absolutely worth checking out.

    I had to see what the lattes at Cannonball Cafe were all about! The space is adorable and communal and the staff is super nice and willing to describe specials and help you choose. I wasn't sure what to pick because I don't usually go for super sweet coffees but the barista recommended the special "CBC CB." It was a maple brown butter latte with a vanilla cream cheese cold foam and house made sticky cinnamon sugar drizzle. I was apprehensive about the cream cheese cold foam but WOW. It was absolutely delicious. The drink was delightful and not overly sweet at all. I did deduct one star because it cost me 9 dollars and it was gone in about two sips. The drink was mostly ice. I also ordered a large and think I was given a small, but I didn't want to make a fuss because it was incredibly busy. Overall i'm very glad I tried it!

    Coffee!!

    Do they have dairy free options?

    Hi Allegra! As of right now, we do not have any dairy free pastries, but we can make all drinks dairy free, we have dairy free smoothies as well as vegan protein powder, and several toast options can be made without dairy! Thanks for asking!

    Got the Nutella French toast at Cafe Bonjour and it definitely lived up to the hype. Thick-cut…read morebread, perfectly soft inside with a slight crisp on the edges, and loaded with Nutella without being overly messy. The strawberries and banana balanced it out so it didn't feel too heavy. Portion size was solid--borderline dessert-for-breakfast, but in a good way. Coffee was decent, nothing crazy. Place is small and gets packed, so expect a wait. Overall: great spot if you want something sweet and indulgent for brunch.

    I wasn't as impressed with Cafe Bonjour as my chum was, and it's clearly well-liked; part of it…read moremight have been the rainy weather, part of it might have been my lighter lunch selection but this one just didn't really hit with me. I stopped by in the early afternoon this past Monday with my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality. This establishment is pretty close to a prior Airbnb we've stayed at and is in a neighborhood we've spent a solid amount of time in, so it's been off and on our radar for a few years. I'm pretty sure we attempted to stop by on an earlier trip but it was too busy - a tribute to the restaurant for sure. Two elements stood out to me almost immediately when we walked in, one good, one bad. On a positive note, the service was excellent - that came across in waves. This is a busy restaurant in a tourist area, and nine out of 10 times, the hospitality would suffer as a result. Not here; we were warmly received as soon as we walked in and were consistently attended to throughout our visit. Top notch in that regard. Con? Personal preference on my end, it just felt kind of grimy in there, like it had taken on the personality of its neighborhood, which is in my opinion not the best and has a homeless issue. There's definitely some personality in there - some gorgeous wood paneling and whatnot - but it was a little too chaotic/claustrophobic for me. I think there's a way they could upgrade the interior without compromising the uniqueness of Cafe Bonjour. I was at the part of our mini-vacation where I didn't necessarily have regrets over my food naughtiness, but my palate definitely needed some legitimate nourishment. I opted for the Signature Blueberry Bowl,, which predictably featured a great many blueberries, and was essentially an acai bowl interpretation with bananas and peanut butter (similar to the Acai Power Bowl at Playa Bowls). It was fine - good portion for what it was. I think they should have made it more...solid, if that makes sense. Like make the blended blueberry aspect quasi frozen so it had more substance to it. Without doing so, it just seemed too liquidy and harder to eat as a result. It was also a little bland and could have used an additional ingredient or two, and the hunks of peanut butter were difficult to blend into the bowl, so sometimes you'd end up inadvertently getting nothing but a mouthful of peanut butter. Not the best, but also probably not their biggest menu selling point. For what it's worth, my chum loved her dish (I think she got the Bennies) and enjoyed her time here immensely. This is one I'd like a do-over on and would be more than willing to come back with a better appetite and revisit - I don't know that my opinions on the vibe/atmosphere are going to change (though maybe some of that is dependent on the weather and this place really shines when the sun is out), but I probably didn't get the best that Cafe Bonjour has to offer.
