About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few months ago, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Johnson stopped in for his usual croissant and coffee. As he walked out, he noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small, wrapped package left behind by someone else. Curious, he unwrapped it only to discover a freshly baked éclair with a handwritten note reading ‘For you, from our secret admirer.’ Mr. Johnson smiled, thinking maybe it was just a friendly prank. He took a bite of the éclair—delicious as always—and decided to leave it there for the next customer. Later that day, while picking up his mail, he found another note: 'Enjoyed your treat? Here’s another surprise!' Turns out, Bonjour had a little-known tradition of anonymous sweeteners.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Bonjour French Bakery & Cafe with a suspicious package. The owner looked perplexed when he opened it—inside were dozens of tiny hats and umbrellas. The owner shrugged and said, ‘Bonjour, maybe these are for our croissants?’ He placed them on top of the display case, where they became an instant hit with customers who thought it was part of a quirky new promotion. A neighbor even stopped by later that day, asking if they sold little umbrellas with their pastries.’
3. One day, as customers were enjoying their pastries, a mysterious note appeared on the counter: ‘Today’s special—baguettes that whisper your secrets.’ Curious patrons began leaving notes, but only one person dared listen. Finally, an intrepid soul—a delivery driver—decided to lean in close. The baguette whispered softly, ‘You left your umbrella at Bonjour Café.’ Everyone burst out laughing when he sheepishly admitted it was true. From then on, everyone knew Bonjour Bakery had more than just delicious treats—it had a knack for knowing its customers’ little quirks.
4. At dawn, when most bakeries are quiet, a delivery truck arrived with a special shipment—an entire crate of croissants shaped like local landmarks. The delivery driver, a friendly fellow from France, whispered that they were ‘croissants de memoire’—each one meant to remind locals of their beloved city. By morning, customers lined up not just for coffee but also to admire and snap photos of these whimsical pastries. It became Bonjour’s unofficial tradition until someone finally ate the Statue of Liberty croissant—and everyone laughed it off as a neighborhood prank.
