32 King St W, Brockville, ON K6V 3P6, Canada
My wife and I were here on our honeymoon in October. We came from Spain and we loved this place. Good food and great service.
So you come to Brockville, because you need a city break and want to visit a cute little charming town. This cafe is exactly what fit that picture. Squash soup was FALL in a bowl 🍁 Sandwich: Fresh and simple Breads are freshly baked in the morning. Dessert: Look amazing and also made in-house. Coffee bar: If you want to grab a coffee along with a giant cookie to go! ☕️🍪
My first visit to Boboli was in the summer of 2022. Since then I have become a frequent customer. You can order anything on the menu and will not be disappointed. The soup is so well made I don't even have to ask what the soup of the day is anymore - JUST GIVE ME SOME! My favourite thing to order is the Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich with a bowl of soup and I usually get a shot of espresso to go. The owner is usually there and is very friendly as is the other staff! The atmosphere and music are both perfect. They have big chocolate chip cookies made fresh every day that usually sellout quickly! Do yourself a favour if you haven't tried this place. I would say it's probably my favourite place to get a meal in Brockville!
The food here is outstanding! Sandwiches are made with fresh bread with an extensive list of breads to choose from. I had the split pea and ham soup which was absolutely delicious with generous portions of ham. The meal deal came with a dessert and I had the chocolate cream pie which was absolutely delicious. Despite having a long day by the time I got there, the staff were attentive and sweet. The seating atmosphere left a little to be desired with uncomfortable seating and a huge cart full of tubs of dirty dishes in our midst. Regardless, this place should not be missed!!
The best lunch spot in the area! Highly recommend the different daily soups, sandwiches, and of course all the desserts :) a big hit are the cookies which are big enough for two people (but you won’t want to share). They also have frozen soups you can take home with you, which make for a great winter meal at home. Plus they take debit now, not just cash! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
My absolute favourite place to eat! my bestie and i come here multiple times a week!! such a beautiful hidden gem in brockville. Excellent service, excellent food and overall a wonderful environment. Happy to be a regular now!
Really enjoyed this restaurant awesome for and great quick service. The only caution is to bring cash as they don't take debit.
Great combos available, great service, great food, sandwiches are made in front of you, you must try their cookies and their tomato basil soup. We visited all the way from Niagara Falls, definitely would try again
The cookies are wonderful and so is the chai latte. Mandatory stop at this establishment.
Bike friendly, great food, great coffee, great place!
Food and serviced sucked. Highly recommend that folks not eat at this establishment!
The sandwiches were delicious and the service friendly and efficient. The chocolate pecan pie was WOW. Parking: Street parking spaces directly opposite.
110% worth the time to leave the highway and eat the delicious food here. A spot we will remember Food : 5/5
Food excellent. Very. Tasty. Service so Fast and dessert. Mouth watering. Soup so good and nice and hot.
Typical and very pleasant restaurant, everything was delicious, especially the pastries
Exceeds expectations. Good soups, good treats, decent selection of sandwiches. When I went they didnt take debit/credit, but upon a later trip, I noticed they had a point of sale device, though I was prepared with cash
Had pumpkin-ginger soup, egg salad on light rye, and carrot cake. All of it delicious. I was going to have the egg salad on french bread but the server pointed out that the egg salad would squish out. Helpful!
Cute and quaint. Good food good atmosphere
Fresh food and good service.. cash only
It was good - we did like it. The sandwich bread was delicious - we did like that! I also like the vibes too. But it was $30 for two cheese sandwiches and two cappuccinos. We didn t specify which cappuccino we wanted but weren t asked. It was quite small so I assume it was small. Prices were $3.50 for small $3.90 large but when she typed in the cost she typed $3.99 in. We were eating when I realized everyone was paying in cash and I began to feel anxious - I ve not been anywhere before in over ten years that did not have debit. Even a square little debit machine is only a couple hundred of dollars and allows for debit to be used. My spouse had to leave mid meal to go to the bank which didn t make it the most enjoyable. No signs stating no debit and I do see on here it s been a complaint for many years .so I m not sure why it hasn t been resolved. Unfortunately I won t be going back due to the lack of debit. They were very nice, but the lack of debit isn t great. For a pop-in lunch I can t stop at the bank everytime and it s 2023, most people that aren t elderly don t carry cash.
Soooooo good. Healthy too. This place is an experience.
Kathy is awesome
Delicious egg salad sandwich and berry pie with whipped cream. Extremely fresh ingredients. Would return.
Nice cafe with good coffee, sandwichs and soup. The deserts are amazing and the best part of our visit! She service was also very good and we wull go back again soon!
The quality of the healthy soup and sandwich combo keeps us coming back. Such a good variety of desserts, and good coffee! Thank you BOBOLI! Your carrot cake was delicious! Still applicable comment as six years ago: We keep coming back for soup sandwich and pies, just like Moms with a modern twist. Plus, were bringing family and friends to this place. Kid friendly, accessible for reduced mobility, free (2 hour) parking nearby, and perfectly located near the tunnel; what more could you ask for!
Ham & cheese sandwiches are to die for.
Warm decor, it feels even more like home when you see the homemade pies and cakes. Dark rye bread is moist and soft. Very good sandwiches, there were 6 of us and delighted with our meal and the service!
I have gone here regularly . The soup is always excellent ! Service prompt . The only disappointing thing( which I have witnessed with many customers about to pay it s cash only ! ). So , then you have to go out to the bank across the street. Otherwise I would highly recommend .
The soups are so comforting and satisfying, its like a warm hug in a bowl. The staff are super friendly and the service is top-notch. Trust me, you wont regret visiting Boboli for a delicious and cozy soup experience.
Great service. The coffee and food are excellent. The desserts are out of heaven. Food : 5/5
Amazing soups and sandwiches. Great low key relaxing atmosphere and the owner Kathy is so pleasant. Would recommend to anyone.
Absolutely delicious curried chicken sandwich on dark rye today paired with a curried vegetable soup. Unbelievable! And the price! Double whammy. Visit this place when youre in Brockville!
Amazing soups and love their Cheese & Pickle sandwich.
Excellent coffee, sandwiches and desserts with friendly service. Comfort food for sure
Amazing!!! Home cooked meals with flavour
I always enjoy my lunch thus the reason I go back peace and love
We stopped to eat enroute from Cayuga to Montreal at Boboli Cafe in Brockville Ont. We had a Chicken Curry and Hamsty and Cheese on Dark Rye with Carrot Ginger Soup. The staff were attentive, the space cozy and food fresh/tasty. We ate on the outdoor space to enjoy the rustic period piece buildings. A calm and relaxing space to dine.
The drinks were okay. There was seating inside.
The waiter was rude, and the mocha cheesecake tasted like burnt coffee~Aly
Want a healthy, tasty place to go for lunch? This is the place! Best sandwich/soup combos, excellent fancy coffees and teas, and, did I mention DECADENT desserts made from scratch?! This is THE spot to visit morning ´t il early afternoon. Only down, it is cash only. But don t let that stop you from going.
Great food and friendly service!
This place is amazing! Everything here is good, their food, the staff is super friendly and their pastries are delicious (which are baked fresh every morning!) I would definitely recommend this place to everyone 10/10!!
Delicious! Had a curried chicken sandwich on French bread and a super tasty bowl of tomato roasted red pepper soup. Cup of coffee and a glass of water to wash it down. Affordable. Friendly. Vintage 1965 Vespa scooter in the window. Now a downtown favorite in Brockville for me.
The sandwiches are amazing
Absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed every single bite of everything we tried! Especially the cheesecake!
Excellent food; better for eating out, limited seating.
I stopped here for lunch and I was so happy that all their foods are made in house and are homemade. I had their soup of the day, sweet potato peanut and a half roast beef sandwich. Just wow. The quality is phenomenal! People on here who are complaining about the price, listen, you get what you pay for. Higher prices equates to higher quality that you put into your gullet. Definitely recommend for anyone who likes healthy good quality foods.
Great service and delicious local bread, but entirely without vegan options.
I have been coming here for years and am never disappointed. Whenever we have guests in town, we always take them here for lunch. By far, the best place to eat in Brockville. Prices are more than reasonable- soup and sandwich for less than $10! Highly recommend the chicken curry sandwich, as well as her desserts (cheesecake is my fav) I am a new mom and have known the owner for a few years now. What blows me away, is how welcome she and her staff have made me feel over the past few visits since having my child. They help hold my little girl to let me enjoy my meal, and truly embrace us both. HIGHLY recommend
Very good coffee! Very good cakes. And good service
Highly recommend. I had the curry chicken sandwich, and it was the BEST sandwich Ive had in recent memory, just delicious. The cappuccino was great and the deep dish apple pie was fantastic! Kathy is delightful and the place is super cute and funky. Whats not to love? Hands down, the best food in Brockville. Check it out.
We had the best cookies and coffee here delicious.
Excellent food. Courteous service. We had a great lunch.
Delicious, fresh, and healthy sandwiches, at a friendly price.
My family has been coming hear for lunch for over 20 years. Sandwiches are wonderful, the desserts are to die for, and the owner (who does most of the work) is one if the nicest people ice ever met. Baboli is an great setting for an intimate lunch, close to the water front of Brockville. Very convenient if you arrive by boat. Dont forget desert!
Great espresso!
Passed through last week and decided to stop in after seeing all the photos of the food on here. Was surprised how little there was to choose from when I arrived (2hrs after they opened). I was offered other pie options, after looking for something other than the one pie and cookies on display. Had a slice of cheesecake and sat and drank a drip coffee. It was very warm in there, minimal air conditioning used. Noticed a sandwich board outside offering non sweets and sandwiches... No signage in side. Would have had something else heartier first if I knew or it was mentioned. Drip coffee was not good. I noticed they sell their branded beans there too... If that was the same product I tasted I wouldnt recommend. Store only accepts cash but has no signage warning of it. Our order came to over $20 - a bit much for pocket change, more than warrants the cost of a debit terminal rental I believe. Overall okay, but it seems that (like most of the Brockville downtown we saw) it is geared towards the locals, despite the fact that this town is screaming for younger visitors and that related tourism income. Did not feel particularly welcomed, even in a almost empty establishment.
Food is delicious , sandwiches made fresh in front of you with homemade bread. Beware though they only take cash.
Terrible and rude service and overpriced food. I visit Brockville often and will never eat here again.
CAUTION!!! The restaurant does not accept debit or credit - no signs and they dont tell you until its time to pay. They were quite rude about sending us down the street to use a bank machine (meaning additional charges). Food was so-so.
I love the food and service in the cafe, and the simplicity! The atmosphere is also lovely, cozy and very stylish. The owner is great too. I love supporting this business. It s my favourite place to eat lunch in Brockville. Try the coronation chicken sandwich, delish.
Best carrot cake I ve ever had! Also, very delicious soups - highly recommend. Heads up though, cash only!
Ive eaten here a few times on lunch break and the food has been consistently good. The major issue is they do not accept debit or credit and I rarely carry cash. There are other lunch places close by that dont require a trip to the ATM before hand, so I frequent them instead. I understand there are costs associated with having a terminal, but maybe that would be offset by increased patronage by people like myself.
The best soup, sandwiches and baked goods around town. Highly recommend!
Great Currie Chicken Sandwich & Soup Delicious..
Today was sweet potato and peanut soup....delicious as always
Excellent ham and cheese sandwich, and latte!
Nice staffs, a cozy place to stay, and the soup and pies are just too delicious.
Love the food here... but really no debit!!!! Gimme a break this day and age.
Excellent coffee, delicious sandwiches, and the best deep dish pie Ive ever eaten! Service is great and staff is very friendly. Always a positive experience.
My favourite soups and sandwiches.
Good food, questionable hygienic practice. Handle money then my food without hand washing in between.
The food was terrific and should not be missed if you are in the area. It was delicious and the restaurant was very friendly to me and my son.
For me it was the dessert that made my day.
Best espresso coffee in town and...the best chocolate chip peanut butter cookies!!!!! and delicious dark rye sandwiches
You wont get a better sandwich anywhere.
Cash only
Soups and sandwiches are amazing. The bread is so fresh and the soup is always made that day and full of flavour.
Unreasonably expensive. Frigid service unless youre considered worthy. Never going back.
I cant recall when Ive had a better lunch. The sandwiches are artisan and FRESH. The soup was made that morning and you can taste the freshness of the vegetables. Everything is made in-house and by hand. The cappuccino was perfect and the cookies were so good we had to have another as we left. The atmosphere was quaint, eclectic and comfortable with table service. The owner was onsite and staff was very charming and friendly. Im now finding reasons to visit Brockville again just to be able to go back to Boboli.
Friendly, spacious, bistro
Excellent homemade soups and sandwiches - pleasant service with great Americanos and relaxed atmosphere. Popular with locals. Only drawback is they only take cash - no debit or credit cards so be forewarned.
The most amazing soup in town. Sandwiches on fresh local homemade bread and desserts to die for! Highly recommend!
Best cafe in town... always a pleasure to behold.
Fantastic soups and sandwiches. Up there with anything in Toronto or New York. Its that good. A gem in Brockville.
