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.

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.

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!

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 .

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
