Crema's Take

BouNom Café & Bakery is a genuinely special neighborhood spot where owner Khamla and her warm staff make everyone feel like a regular from day one, backed up by a serious pastry program featuring some of Connecticut's best apple fritters, croissants, and scones alongside thoughtfully crafted coffees like their standout Cuban coffee. It's the kind of place where you'll linger over an unsweetened latte and a chocolate almond croissant, surrounded by other people who clearly can't stay away either, making it equally perfect for a solo coffee moment or a leisurely catch-up with friends.

My first time here but certainly not the last! Everything was amazing the choc chip cookie, choc croissant, tomato cheese and cuban coffee. Really want to try their chocolate almond croissant and everything else on their menu to be honest. Service was great all the staff is super friendly - had a great time with my daughter … definitely recommend

Khamla and her warm, friendly staff really know how to make you feel special. From the moment you walk in the door, to when you are choosing from a selection of the most delicious pastries you've ever had, to being rung up at the register - you feel like you're walking into a friend's home and they are ready to take care of you. There are a handful of third spaces and bakery/cafes where my partner and I are regulars, and BouNom is at the top of that list. We can't seem to stay away. Khamla is not only generous with her patrons, but with the community at large. Her space is inclusive, welcoming, and so easy to feel like you can be yourself. It is no wonder that she is a crowd favorite in this region! Our faves: bacon egg in a hole, blueberry petite bites, blueberry maple pound cake, cheddar chive biscuits - honestly anything you order will be no doubt delicious. Highly recommend!

One of the top 3 best Apple Fritters in CT. Can't recommend it enough. Everything is great, but that's amazing. The scones, pound cakes, breads, and other bakery items are all very good as well. The line can take a bit to get through even early in the day. The service is fast and friendly. Parking is a bit challenging as it can be difficult to find spaces near the store. The prices are on the higher side, but it's great quality so you get what you pay for. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit.

Very welcoming and warm atmosphere and customer service. Amazing Jambon sandwich and blueberry lemonade the pastries were to die for. Trust me I’m a pastry queeeeeen! Owner was so nice and even gave a banana pudding to my daughters on the house. Very nice of her! I wish they have longer hours or opened earlier as my business in Simsbury (Revise Beauty) has almost the same opening hours so it’s super hard to come frequently.

I adore this place! There are classic pastries and more creative works by the team, everything is delicious! I usually get an unsweetened latte and this is one of my favorite places when I am in the mood for a good pastry and coffee. I've spoken to the owns a few of the times I've been here and she is extremely friendly and passionate about pastries!
