Bonjour Café

This Bonjour Café on Grigore Alexandrescu Street sits right by the entrance to Valea Morilor park in Buiucani. It works best as a stop during a walk: a takeaway coffee, a pastry, or a few minutes at a table near the lake. The chain is styled after French cafés, with decor that changes with the seasons.

The menu covers espresso, cappuccino, latte, teas and lemonades, plus croissants, tarts and other sweets – enough for a snack or a light breakfast in the park.

Customers rate the café positively. Reviews keep coming back to the setting, which many find very photogenic, well-made coffee and friendly baristas, some mentioned by name. Recent complaints focus on the attitude of certain staff – cold or dismissive service and orders turned away shortly before closing – and opinions on the croissants are mixed.

Opening times can change with the season and weather, so check the listing before you go. The chain posts its news on Instagram and Facebook.
