Preordered a lovely cake to celebrate my moms 60th this past February! It was so nice going into the store and having the staff help me decide on the flavor and size I needed. They even offered me samples of the flavors I think my mom would enjoy best and boxed up the leftovers for me to take home after orderingđŸ€ I was able to pay ahead and make note that someone else would be picking up the cake for the weekend and it was no problem. They just made note on my order form! We went with the raspberry romance and she loved it!! Would recommend them for social occasions where a cake is needed💞

If you’re looking for a place to host a shower, I can’t recommend The Bonbonerie more highly. My daughter and I hosted an afternoon tea baby shower for my godson’s wife and it was absolutely perfect. The staff is wonderful, and of course the food so delicious 😋.

This was such a cute shop! I’m new to Cincinnati and came to the BonBonnerie because it was listed in the “100 things to do in Cincinnati before you die” book. The process is a bit confusing so learn from my mistakes: there is parking around the back of the store so that you don’t have to pay for street parking. Just after the shop, turn left onto the oneway street, and the parking lot is on the left. There are 3 sections to the BonBonnerie; there is the bakery, the cafĂ©, and the tea room. If you just want to get sweets and head out, you’re looking for a whole cake/sweets order, or if you want a wider selection of sweets, go to the bakery first and see what’s there before going to the cafe or tea room. Next, go down the steps to the right of the bakery to get to the cafĂ© and tea room. It can feel a bit maze-like as if you’re somewhere you shouldn’t be, but follow the stickers on the floor and signs and you’ll be fine. The cafĂ© is where you can order most classic coffee drinks and a selection of the most popular sweets. I ordered a small cappuccino and a chocolate caramel cupcake. The cappuccino was a little burnt-tasting and had a bit too much foam (i’m truly sorry, i sound like such a coffee snob, but i don’t want to just be like “it wasn’t very good” without actually describing what I mean), but it wasn’t terrible either. I think if I were just getting coffee I would have been more disappointed, but obviously the point is to get a bonbon. If you’re dining in, your coffee will be served in a tea cup. Being served in a tea cup is *super* cute, but I would say on the coffee, even if you’re dining in, order it to go and then sit, because they served the small coffee in a tea cup, which seamed that the amount of coffee is somewhere between 8-10 oz, as opposed to a US standard 12 oz for a small and 16 oz for a regular. Finally, get the Opera Torte (either cake or cupcake). It’s their specialty, and deserves a try. I didnt realize that before I ordered what I did (which was totally my bad, since it was posted everywhere), but i’ll definitely be back with my partner to try it because overall, it was *super* cute and their cupcake was amazing—even just out of the freezer, the icing was still sort enough to bite into. Highly recommend!!!

This place is amazing! I got the opera cream cake which was delicious and had a lot of flavors and very filling. The mini key lime pie was delicious, and I loved the crust. The blondie and lemon bars were both really good, and the pink lemonade was also tasty. The lady was also really nice.

The Bonbonnerie did a FABULOUS wedding cake from the tasting session to co-ordinating fresh flowers for our wedding cake and delivering it to the reception venue. I ordered the delicious lemon cake with raspberry filling for the lowermost tier, a surprise carrot cake for the upper tiers for my husband who absolutely LOVES their carrot cake. We had a semi-naked frosting finish since we both do not care for frosting. We also ordered mini chocolate cupcakes, so every one of our guests would be able to try three different flavours of cake if they so desired—there was not a slice left over! We of course have the top layer which may not survive till our anniversary. I love every cake I have ever had from the Bonbonnerie and will continue to enjoy this Cincinnati treasure. THANK YOU for making special memories!!

No better place to get a birthday cake. I ordered my cake a few days prior and they had it ready to go with a happy birthday message! The lemon blueberry was a hit for this lemon lover. I also got some thumb cookies and a few other treats at the bakery. So good.

This is definitely a sweet spot in Cinci!! They have wonderful unique sandwiches and the Lattes are comfortably warm and soothing. My daughter and I love the decor with teapots, tea cups and friendly faces. Can’t wait to visit again!

We picked The BonBonerie for our wedding cake and Leah and Allison we a dream to work with! They made choosing our cake flavors and design so easy! They were so quick to answer all of our questions, were so helpful and worked so hard to make our cake exactly what we wanted for our wedding! We could not have been happier with the BonBonerie!

Bonbonerie is one of my happy places in Cincinnati! They have the most wonderful pastries, the cutest seasonal cookies, wonderful tea, and nice lunch. I’ve celebrated my birthday now 2 times here, and the service has always been wonderful. They have a great collection of cakes by the slice or whole as well as a ton of other treats. Their tea selection is extensive too. Their crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e and their chocolate mousse are my favorite desserts of theirs, and their white chicken chili is so amazing when they have it! Such a cute shop, with a little garden, and a bakery out back. I always look forward to my visits :)

Stopped in for a quick meal. Tea was full of flavor and the brie and ham sandwich was delicious. My table was not wiped down before I sat down and my waitress wasn’t too attentive, hence the 4 star rating.

Such a wonderful shop with a wide variety of pastries and other baked goods. All the staff were very friendly, you could see the bakers in the back at work too which was interesting to see them decorating as well. You can tell each is made with precision and passion. The chocolate is rich and flavorful it was one of my favorites, along side the lemon bar and the poppyseed cookies. From the packaging, to the intricate details in the desserts all of it is beautiful.

Charming bakery!! Female owned bakery for 39 years. My sister hosted a Bridgerton themed birthday for me and got ALL of our goodies from this bakery! Tea sandwiches, scones, cookies, and cake. So Delicious!! As for presentation, the ladies of Bridgerton would swoon that's how pretty everything was!! This bakery is lovely and the food is so So Good!! Seriously, their Opera Cream Cake is *chefs kiss* divine. People from other states, have been known to make the drive for this cake. Also, their Whoopie Pies will make you starry eyed. The owners are lovely and their bakery will go down in Cincinnati history as Legends!!

It was my 1st tea party. I was not disappointed. The tea sandwiches and sweet treats were amazing. Not only delicious but appealing to the eye. The teas were aromatic and tasteful. Highly recommend. I will be back.

This is a cute tea shop with the normal High Tea food, however there was no jam or clotted cream to go with the scones. I could tell that the young man that waited on us was a little new to serving people. He was very pleasant but could not tell me what ingredients were in most of the items ordered. I would go back for lunch, but not for the High Tea.
