Bon Vivant New York

"Charming, chandelier-lit bakeshop offering fanciful petite fours, plus coffee & tea in floral china."

Bon Vivant New York is a Jersey City bakery and café specializing in luxury petits fours and small-format cakes, served in a chandelier-lit space. Individually handcrafted petits fours made with European marzipan and fondant, local farm eggs and butter, and luxury preserves and liqueurs, following French patisserie techniques. The bakery has been cited by Martha Stewart, the New York Times, and Oprah Daily. Founded in 2013 by Maya Hormis, who holds certifications in Culinary and Pastry Arts from Le Cordon Bleu, after a 17-year corporate career. The café is located in Jersey City; same-day delivery is available to Manhattan, Jersey City, and nearby areas, with nationwide shipment also offered. Reviewers are divided: some praise the fresh, flavorful treats, cozy atmosphere, and Julius Meinl coffee selection, while others find the petits fours disappointing relative to their price, citing overpowering icing flavor.
