La Bonbonniere, New York NY

A refreshing old school establishment in the west village - we showed up around 9: 30am on a Saturday and were seated right away.

We ordered pancakes that came out within minutes and they made a fresh pot of decaf for us.

Great service and delicious comfort breakfast food!

Absolutely lovely. Exactly what I want a diner to be and exactly what I love about diner food. Warm, kind, and prompt service.

Run by crooks. Tried to charge me $45 for two egg and toast breakfasts with coffees. When I brought it to the cashier's attention he said there was indeed a mistake. The mistake he said was he charged me too little. I told him no way could it cost almost $50 to eat in that dive. He adjusted the total down, but not by much. Never going there again. Btw, food and coffee were awful. I think the good reviews here are from young adults who are enamored with living in Manhattan.

An emblematic place. The breakfasts are very rich, very American. A picturesque place in the West Village

One of my new favorite spot for breakfast. For some reason I feel good here.
Marina is super nice and welcoming. The breakfast is great.

This place is great and I can't wait to come back regularly!

Pancakes, French toast, olmlettes, can't go wrong! Stopped in for a hearty breakfast and it met and exceeded our expectations.

Will come back soon for some lunch specials!

I am a native New Yorker who has walked past this place a thousand times, but never eaten there, for a variety of reasons. No time, no money, too crowded.
Today, the stars alligned, and I could and did. While I was thrilled to have the opportunity to visit this famous but affordable establishment, I wish to pass on the message that they should update the menu prices on their Google listing. I took pictures of the current menu and a couple of snapshots of the interior. Obviously, the outdoor dining area, the shed on the street taking up valuable potential parking spaces, is a pandemic era addition.
Yes, the interior of the original building is really that small, even smaller but slightly wider than the former Moonstruck Diner. (The real Moonstruck Diner was not big enough to do a song-and-dance movie sequence in, the wait staff had to turn sideways to walk between the cafe tables and the counter, and it was never as clean as the movie set.)
Don't get me wrong, I have no complaints about the food or the service at La Bonbonniere, it is what it is, but please inform the public about the current prices on your profile.

Friendly and professional staff. A very low key place to chill and have an all American breakfast. This is a CASH ONLY place. Thank you Bonbonieres.

Slexy's neighborhood breakfast place. French toast and pancakes really are outstanding!

It ain’t fancy, but it’s tasty. The bacon, eggs and pancakes were just right. The service was quick. The prices were a bargain for New York.

Landed here looking for Marvelous Mrs Maisel locations. Cool photo location but it's pretty run down and you don't feel like eating or drinking anything.

Really perfect, ultra welcoming and friendly staff! We are delighted with this discovery in the heart of one of the most beautiful areas of the city. We highly recommend the establishment

Quintessential new York diner. Dat service, tasty, and reasonably priced. Busy on the weekend though.

Passing through the West Village?
Want brunch?
Milkshakes, pancakes, eggs, bacon, papapapapa are terrible
Don't hesitate

A NYC hidden Gem in plain sight.
The service provided by Marina and staff was exceptional.
Simple delicious breakfast I highly recommend you check it out Definitely a Straight Situation.

Had breakfast here. Pancakes were good place is old and worn 16.00 bucks think I can do better elsewhere

Only in New York would people wait an hour in the freezing cold to sit in a wooden structure and enjoy coffee in paper cups with servers that barely acknowledge you. But alas, we keep coming back, because the price is right and the food is delicious.

Favorites are the two eggs over easy with sausage ($7.50) and western omelette ($8.50), both served with home fries and toast. The blueberry pancakes are soo good too – they have a soft and fluffy interior with perfectly crisp edges. The restaurant is cash only and there are ~15 signs to remind you so (along with an ATM available). If you are looking for no-frills tasty diner breakfast food in a sea of frou-frou West Village brunch joints, La Bonbonniere is your best bet!

Overhyped on social media. It's so funny seeing people eating there now that in the past would never consider ot.
