Café Bon Vivant

Love this local gem! The food is made in house or locally. They thrive to build an inclusive space for everyone. The staff is always friendly.

What a lovely place to get some healthy, tasty food! I love the atmosphere and also grabbed a fresh bouquet of flowers. I’ll be back :)

Thank you Café Bon Vivant for making look like a rockstar! I brought my mother-in-law, her sister and her cousin in for a treat and boy, did you hit it out of the park. They requested somewhere nice with a good cappuccino. They were remembering their trip to Italy and wanted somewhere quaint. You over-delivered on quality of the coffee and food, and you absolutely smashed it with too much charm and over-the-top on service. I heard them say it was going to have to become a regular visit. If I didn't adore my mother-in-law, I'd be mad at you!

Thanks for a great visit.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a local café so busy and full of life with people of all walks of life, even on a Monday! The support of the LGBTQ2S+ community just adds to the wonderful atmosphere. The sandwich was so big I had to take half of it with me. The half lasted me a seven hour drive!

I've been in Russell a few decades now and have seen coffee shops come and go for various reasons.

This little shop is SO WELCOMING, friendly, super clean and it definitely is vibing with community.

Excellent food (Little Jo Berry's pop tart with Top Shelf Preserves inside - KILLER delicious), gluten free and vegan options, and terrific, local, freshly roasted coffee made by trained baristas. Yup, you'll want to come here often because there's always something new . Plus the Owner is the embodiment of kindness.

Excellent small town coffee shop that was much needed in Russell. Friendly service. Delicious food and the coffee is delicious

We went for some Coffee on Sunday morning, it was good

Best coffee in the area, great selection of local pastries and food. Americanos almost half the price of Starbucks too if you're a black coffee drinker.

Every time I go there everyone is so friendly. The food is too expensive as compared to other places I have been. I enjoy going there.

Nice, hot, Italian style coffees without Starbucks prices.
Nice variety of baked goods too.

Everyone was really nice! Treats were great and best two shot americano I had in a very long time!

Such a beautiful little cafe that supports local companies and brings a welcoming atmosphere!

A small rural coffee shop with amazing coffee, great food and better people... A must go-to for coffee.

good atmosphere with friendly staff. Competitively priced drinks that taste good.

Can’t wait to go back!! Excellent coffee and oat milk tea lattes!!

New small cafe in Russel, great atmosphere and staff

Great coffee, great treats and great atmosphere.

Charming location, good vibes and great treats.

Best Ameri another around, Rex
