Cafe Bonjour

Cafe Bonjour on Temple Place serves breakfast and lunch with more choices than an egg sandwich and coffee. Shakshuka combines eggs, tomatoes, peppers and feta, while eggs Norwegian brings in smoked salmon. Crepes can go sweet with Nutella and fruit or savory with fillings such as chicken or salmon. The stuffed French toast adds strawberry preserves and cream cheese.

The cafe opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 3 p.m., so this is a daytime stop near Boston Common. Plant-based JUST Egg substitutions and gluten-free bread options give diners some flexibility; ask about the full dish if you have dietary restrictions. A breakfast sandwich or fruit-and-yogurt cup works when you need something smaller before getting on with your morning.
