Cutesy decorum, friendly tattooed waiters, fresh cut flowers on the tables and most importantly, yum yums that won’t break the bank or your exercised bon bon! Bon Bon Pastry & Cafe is pastry chef Courtney Bonning’s baby! After winning Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, Bonning decided to transform her small wholesale bakery, Bonbon Bake Shop (once located in Gordon Square), into a full-on menage a trois of deliciously adorable bakery, belly-satisfying brunch & heartwarming cafe drinks! Bon Bon is located on Lorain Avenue next to Crop Bistro and Penzey’s Spices in Ohio City. I had to check this vintage gem out when I saw them building it. I am in awe of all the wonderful entrepreneurs utilizing old abandoned spaces throughout Cleveland and Bon Bon is a breath of fresh air among them! Lined with prime people watching windows, Bon Bon is great place to order a coffee and cupcake to go, or to sit and share a French press with a friend over some Bubbles & Squeak breakfast or a brunch sammie! The food menu has something for everyone and for you bacon lovers out there– Bon Bon is the place to get your bacon on! I don’t know what they soak this stuff in, but one bite leaves me turning and yearning like a pig in a pen! Their desserts are definitely worth writing home about, as you can imagine they would be, Bonning winning Cupcake Wars and all… Every time I’ve been back I’ve ordered something different and have loved it just as much if not more than the last time! Stopping in to pick up a coffee on my way to work and a cupcake for a post-lunch snack always makes the day a little brighter! Bon Bon is a restaurant that fills my heart with joy! Whether it be Bonning herself greeting guests with a smile or enjoying a bright atmosphere with a great freshly brewed cup of coffee, one thing’s for sure, you have to check this Cleveland darling out– I promise you’ll be back a second time around!
