Bonjour Bakery & Café | Arches Dining

Bakery cafe storefront with teal and beige awnings along the town square of Arches National Park, outdoor seating.

Bonjour Bakery & Café serves up a French-inspired breakfast and lunch in a cozy Moab nook. The chicken sandwich with cranberries hits hard as the crowd favorite, while gluten-free French toast offers a warm, reliable bite. Croissant Bread Pudding is solid—some wish it warmer with cream. Veggie and vegan options exist, but coffee quality is a mixed bag and pastries steal the show early in the day.
