Cafe BoneJour

146 Blaize Ave.

Located in the heart of the Depot District of Old Town Bay St. Louis at 146 Blaize Avenue, Café BoneJour is not just a pet boutique and bakery; it’s a haven for pet lovers and their furry friends. Owned and operated by Roxanne DeNicola, Café BoneJour is dedicated to providing the best for your pets, offering a wide range of natural pet foods, gourmet treats, toys, and accessories.

​This Second Saturday, June 8th, Café BoneJour invites you to join them for a special day filled with treats and tunes. From 12 PM to 3 PM, DJ Doug Funnie from Good Earth Records will set the perfect backdrop with his eclectic mix of music. While you enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, take advantage of their special offer: a free frozen doggie froyo with any purchase of $25 or more.

Roxanne’s passion for pets shines through in every aspect of Café BoneJour. “I take pride in sourcing the very best natural pet foods for dogs and cats, gourmet pet treats, toys, collars, and gifts for pet lovers,” says Roxanne. Her commitment to quality is evident in the impressive lineup of all-natural brands available at the store. Whether you’re looking for RAW, high-quality kibble, or gently cooked diets, Café BoneJour has something to meet your pet’s nutritional needs.

One of the standout features of Café BoneJour is their in-house pet bakery, which produces 100% organic gourmet treats made from human-grade ingredients. They also offer soft serve doggie froyo, perfect for the summer heat. These all-natural, grain-free treats are made with lactose-free whole milk or goats milk, and you can even add toppings like sprinkles, freeze-dried raw bits, and fresh dog-friendly cookies.

Café BoneJour is more than just a store; it’s a community hub for pet lovers. Roxanne and her team are passionate about pet nutrition and are always available to offer advice and counseling on healthy feeding options. “As the owner of five dogs, I saw a need for a local neighborhood pet boutique on the Mississippi Gulf Coast,” says Roxanne. Her vision has turned into a reality, creating a space where pets and their owners can find the best products and services.

Join Café BoneJour this Second Saturday to experience the joy and community spirit that makes this pet boutique so special.
