BONCH is the only café that I visited 3 times during the trip. The reason that driven me
there so many times is not only for its excellent single-origin coffee or espresso, but also for
the gourmets and good dining environment. The shop has a lot of space and good design, the
seating make each and every customer feel in privacy even though they are in a coffee shop.
That is why it is hard to find a vacant place, even outside. You can choose your single-origin
coffee to be prepared by brewing or by AeroPress. I tried Kenyan coffee in 2 ways, both coffees
tasted very nice. Barista here is professional. He presented the coffee’s different flavors to
customers while brewing. Even though his English is not that fluent, you can feel his profes-
sionalism by how he works. The coffee made by AeroPress will be presented in a glass vessel.
On the contrary, brewed coffee will be presented in Chemex. BONCH emphasizes coffee qual-
ity, service details and customers’ experience. Besides coffee in BONCH, the delicious food
is one more thing that makes people come back. BONCH’s serves traditional European food.
Every dish tastes great and makes you fall in love with the café over and over again. All in all,
this is the best-rated shop that I have visited in Saint Petersburg.
There are 2 dishes that you cannot miss, one is Swedish Meatballs
with Mashed Potatoes and homemade raspberries sauce, and an-
other is French starter. These Swedish Meatballs are quite
different from what we are used to when in IKEA. The
Mashed Potatoes are very sweet thanks to its special
variety and Russian Raspberries Sauce tastes awesome.
Address
French starter is actually a roasted sliced baguette with
Metro goose liver, Spanish ham and salmon etc. I really miss
the one with puree of dragon fruit on it.
Tel
One specialty coffee before meal and one espres-
Opening Hours so after meal made my day. During my café hopping,
I discovered a special rule in coffee circle in Saint Pe-
Keywords
tersburg. That is only fine milk foam can accompany Latte
and be presented in a glass cup, but a Latte art is actually
done on a cappuccino. That’s very interesting. Mustache cup
is the logo of BONCH, the mouth-to-mouth marketing made by
young people.
