Review from Sachi M.
I was disappointed that they don't have hot dog buns (the Extra Foods next door only had Wonderbread buns), but they do have a bun with a sausage baked into it.
The ham and cheese croissant is yummy!
I don't remember what other buns I've tried, but they were good, too.
The Light Rye bread, too.
There's a food-court type seating area (though there are only 2 other stores).
I don't remember if they accept Debit or Credit, but all the purchases I've made have been low enough that I have cash on hand. -

Atmosphere: It is a store front bakery, open in the mall. The window displays are always clean, you can tell that everything is displayed nicely, however, not too pretentious.
Service: It's very busy during the day since this is a popular pastry spot, you're never waiting in line more than 1 minute from time you're served, rang through and on your way. I've been going to the bakery for years, since I was 5 in this hood of Champlain Heights. The service has always been consistent and always with a smile. The staff are young high school kids, however, never jaded with attitude from the shitty atmosphere of commercial fast food working joint. They're awesome kids working there and always have been. They are you're neighborhood teenagers just trying to earn some $$$ with a smile.
Price: The prices have remained consistently reasonable over the years, however, due to the economy and inflation, the serving sizes have shrunk. Most notably in the chocolate cupcakes, however, I always say quality over quantity.
Food: One of the best bakeries that I have ever been to. This hidden gem is inside Champlain Mall and unless you're from the hood, you wouldn't know that it exists, however, when Justin Timberlake was in town shooting a movie, he made one of his assistants go down and grab some Bonnie's bakery, therefore, before yelp and social media, someone was hearing about this bakery and the reputation spread. I was on set during that filming and apparently JT and I weren't the only ones addicted to the cheese sticks....a lot of the crew were to. Chocolate cupcakes, cheese sticks, chicken curry pies and mini cheese cake slices are the best and seem to be the most popular items ordered. They also have one of the best selections of bread and during Christmas the hot cross buns are to die for. -

This bakery and I go waaaaay back: My mom and I use to take walks to Champlain Mall, and she would buy me their cheese sticks for a snack. Yeah that's right, a cheese stick. And they are pretty much the best cheese sticks in town! Why? Because they aren't all doughy like most places make them (if they make them at all), they are wonderfully speckled with cheese! I loved eating them back then, and I still love eating them now.
Bonnie's Bakery has been around for years (even before the huge rezoning of Champlain Mall, now known as Champlain Square)...here's something for time reference: It was here when Woodward's was here (who here remembers Woodwards?). I'm not only a fan of their cheese sticks, but their apple crumb pies! Though the availability of the pies are seasonal (just as the fruits used are seasonal), I love their apple pies because they're not overly sweet and I don't feel guilty about eating it as dessert as much.
Brownies and strawberry cream cheese cupcakes is another favorite dessert/pastry I love here. If ever you're in the neighbourhood, you should check it out! Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and sit down with a pastry at Bonnie's!Listed in: Diaries of a Dessertacholic

Great mini sourdough bread loaves which is perfect for 1-2 people.
