Great little shop for coffee, cakes, snacks and drinks oh and did I mention cakes and just in case I forgot to mention they do cakes, the best tasting cakes I’ve ever had, my personal favourite is the coffee and walnut.High Ongar is a beautiful quaint quiet little village well worth visiting and stopping at coffee post is a must.

Visited as was working nearby. Been back three times just for the bread pudding. Today it was still warm. Delicious. Best chicken salad sandwich for miles. Lovely place hidden away.

The Coffee Post has become very popular as it is a good please to get into conversation. Also good food ranging from cakes to prepared lunches moderately priced.

A lovely comfortable place to relax with friendly staff and great food. The sandwiches were very generously filled and accompanied by a delicious salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The coffee and walnut cake was the best I have tasted, and I know my cakes! Well worth a visit.

Besides the best coffee in the district they have range of quality snacks. It is popular with walkers who place their orders as they pass on the outward journey and their food is ready at an agreed time on their return. They also do take always. With having a post office attached, there is always someone to pass the time of day with over a hot sandwich and a cup of tea or coffee. Its advantage is having pleasant staff.

It's been some time since the village post office was much more than a place to queue!Now I can just pop in for a coffee and look at the newspapers or have a freshly prepared sandwich lunch (generously filled) and, when feeling especially indulgent, have a slice of delicious, home-baked cake. A wonderful addition to our small village.

I love this little coffee shop and its friendly atmosphere. I especially like the bacon sandwiches which are fab although I hear the home made cakes are delicious too although I haven't yet been able to manage one after my sandwich. The owner and staff are always helpful and welcoming. Its easy to park nearby which for me is also a bonus! There is also a post office which is very handy and all kinds of cards on sale also great.

Love this Coffee Shop. Staff are really friendly. The coffee is really good. The sandwiches are freshly made, with generous, good quality fillings. There is always a superb selection of home made cakes too. Would recommend 100%

Honestly the best cafe! We eat here regularly. Everybody loves the breakfast but I also go here regularly for lunch. The staff are friendly, the cafe is always clean and there is outdoor space out the back which is dog friendly (if you take your dog you have us the back entrance).

This is my third visit to Bonhomie since it changed from Belgique. I have to say that I was not particularly impressed with my previous two visits, having always ordered the avocado on toast. The first time it was served on white bread without having been given the option to chose another type of bread. Also, it was literally what it said in the tin i.e. a sliced avocado on a slice of white bread, no dressing. The second time I said that I would like to have it on brown bread please. Again, it came as a sliced avocado on a slice of bread. Both times it came with a poached egg and a minimum amount of garnish. Nothing to do with the nice avocado on toast served in other local cafés. For this reason, when my friend suggested Bonhomie today, I said that I wasn't a fan. However, as it was convenient for it is local, we went. Our waiter was a young man, that couldn't understand my foreign accent, despite my having been in this country for 20 years, my partner being British and me being a professional person developing my profession in the area. I repeated my order of green tea, avocado on toast (I thought maybe third time lucky), no butter several times but he kept asking for my order time and time again, to the point of making me feel embarrassed. It has never happened to me anything like it before. The young man tried to excused himself saying that it wasn't my accent, that it had been a long day (it was 11am). When eventually the food came, it was the saddest thing I have ever been served in a café - a slice of bread (brown, thank goodness) with a mushy avocado on top, again no dressing and this time, no garnish and no egg. Due to the previous embarrasment, I decided not to complain anymore, my friend and I laughed and promised not to come back again on future occasions. When I arrived home, I told my partner what had happened and he said that I should have complained, that it was not right that I was charged full price when my food was so below par and it was actually missing ingredients. I thought about going back on the following day to personally talk to the manager. Then I read the review when the owner said to a customer to go to McDonald's when the customer complained about the service (?), and I thought that I had already been sufficiently embarrassed in this establishment. Therefore, I wasn't going to risk to be told to go to McDonald's (or somewhere else). Not sure if McDonald's will be my choice next time, but it definitely won't be Bonhomie.
