Jonquils Cafe and Bakery

The famous desserts here sure look great but ultimately taste like typical greasy cake you might find at grocery stores. Still worth a visit for the relaxed vibe

Ordered: -Geometric Apple: cheesecake mousse on the outside with apple confit and chocolate cake on the inside. The cheesecake mousse was delightful and I could just eat that by itself. I didn’t care too much about the apple confit and thought it disrupts the mouthfeel. -Hazelnut: coffee mouse on the outside with a chocolate cake inside. Delicious! Vibe: Cute small cafe. Would I return?: Yes! Very unique cafe with fancy desserts. Definitely would wow anyone.

Small place that is modern and a wonderful atmosphere, the main thing that catches the eye are the uniquely shaped desserts which taste as good as they look! I had the Cocoa Bean, which paired with the fluffy texture of the sponge made for a soft and creamy and smooth bite into the hazelnut flavors it had. The iced Spanish Latte also tasted quite refreshing with no overwhelming flavors. I strongly recommend bringing a close friend or going on a first date here, or showing a visitor to Boston for the novelty of it. Only downside: no wifi so it's not ideal for working or sitting down for a hot minute. Cellular data is limited on the lower level of the place.

To start off with, I have been wanting to go here for quite sometime. I have heard of Jonquil's and had high expectations. Upon arriving to Newbury Street and the surrounding area it was very bustling with cars and people. I drove around the location several times probably half a dozen with no avail to finding a free spot to park on the roadway anywhere nearby. I looked up parking and found that there was a parking garage within a 5 minute walking radius which I chose. The parking was $26.00. :( definetly a high price to pay for a fairly quick coffee trip. So I was disappointed with that fact but I have to give the cafe 5 stars for the desserts, coffees, teas, atmosphere and service. We arrived around 12 there was only 1 woman working at the counter. She was very pleasant and quickly working on getting to everyone in a timely manner. There was quite a few people already in the Cafe and several more in line to order and waiting. We ordered 3 desserts and 3 drinks and were seated and enjoying within about 10 minutes. The desserts were geometric designed and so perfect looking and were sweet and the drinks were very good as well. My cappuccino I asked if she could make a design and she came thru with beautiful hearts. Loved the esthetics of the cafe and thought it was worth the trip. Would definitely highly recommend going if you love coffee and desserts and want a new place to see.

A little too expensive for dessert in my view, but they taste great.
