Les bonyeuses

In proper Charlevoix joual, bonyeuse is an endearment we would use to refer to a mischievous child… Or to the barista who makes us laugh every morning while making us a really good cup of coffee! And that fits with the atmosphere of this perfect meeting spot where we stay awhile to buy great bread and pastries, to eat a great sandwich, to grab a quick coffee... But most of all because it’s a soulful place, and you can feel that soul.

Pain & amour [Peace & love] : a nice play on words found on some of the great items branded with Bonyeuses colours which, beyond the humour, express the core values of this company, driven by partners Meggie and Emma. Inclusion and respect are baked into the Bonyeuses DNA; the happiness of this smiling team is contagious and can be felt as far away as the dining space full of green and mauve banquette seating placed around the huge wood oven that does double duty keeping the atmosphere cozy, as it heats up sandwiches!

Chocolatines, almond tarts, croissants: You name it! Here, you’ll find everything you expect to find at a good neighbourhood bakery. The bread displayed along the wall includes all the classics: from fougasse, to round loaves, and walnut bread, brioches, and the must-have baguette, all made with local flour. You’ll find a bread-of-the-month. You’ll find all the little pastries you could want. This place is also the place to stop for sandwiches along the way, with its gourmet selection: duck breast, Migneron cheese, smoked salmon, organic ham... Then, there are the fresh salads and soups-of-the-day, also garnished with regional ingredients. Regional ingredients that have found their place on the Bonyeuses shelves, as we buy our groceries within eyeshot of friends having drinks together, and picnics.
