Bonjour yogurt is “delicately handmade by Chef Kady” and most varieties only contain yogurt, fruit and probiotics. No preservatives, thickeners or refined sugars are used. Each package is 10 oz. One tub is $5 or you can get 3 for $12 or 4 for $16. Credit cards are accepted.
The yogurt comes in a wide variety of flavors, including coffee, quince, cherry, white cherry, boysenberry, honey, dates, fig, ginger, rose, pineapple, caramel, cranberry, etc.
According to an article I found about Bonjour, the yogurt used to be made with sheep’s milk. They now seem to use cow’s milk. I was told that it was strained for three days. The texture and consistency are similar to Greek yogurt.
* Carrot yogurt: quite sweet (naturally), super thick and creamy with small carrot slivers, the carrots were still firm and tasted fresh, very nice
* Rose yogurt: the rose/floral taste is present but not overwhelming, the yogurt itself is thick, rich and creamy, plus naturally sweet
* Ginger yogurt: Very intense fresh ginger taste, might be overwhelming unless you really like ginger
Bonjour Yogurt isn’t quite as rich as Aris and it doesn’t have that cream aftertaste but it is still thick and rich. It’s surprising how sweet yogurt can be without added sugar. Bonjour also is a bit more sour than Aris though it’s not that sour.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

It's pretty good but I regret to inform you that it was MUCH better when it was made with Sheep's Milk. The texture was creamier, the flavors were balanced against more natural sweetness and the digestive properties blew other yogurts out of the water. It preserved well, too. I would buy about 15 every two weeks, great flavors, most of which they still have thankfully. My only disappointment is that they didn't tell us about the change from sheep's milk to cow's milk (I had to figure it out by tasting it and then asking), and also the price did not come down. Let's face it, cows produce more milk, are easier to milk and for other reasons their milk is less expensive. This would be like me selling a leather handbag to you for $300 and then when you came back I tried to sell you a polyurethane one for the same price. At any rate, it's good yogurt but it used to be great yogurt.
Does anyone know the "contents" such as protein, fat, sugar, calories, etc.? I bought it at Riviera Village Farmer's Market, and I love it (especially Coconut), but I'm sure it's got to be high in calories and fat. Nothing this good could be good for you. But, a tablespoon on my Flax and granola was yummy.
Go Wednesdays to the farmers market at CHLA hospital on sunset, the vender for Bonjour! has a nutrition guide sheet, the nutrition guide looked too good to be true when we looked for our diabetic daughter, I sure hope it's correct, it's the best yogurt I have ever eaten, LOVE IT!!
The farmers Market in Riverside at the Kaiser cost $5.00 a piece, Very good and I would like to know where I can buy more closer to where I live. I would also like to know how to become a vendor for this produce if there isn't one in this area?
I would really reconsider Ari's, trust me, I tried bonjour and would never go back to Ari's for any product. Brother's is also a better alternative to Ari's when it comes to dips; prices and containers make more sense at both Bonjour! and Brother's, and also the salesman have better work ethic.

Hi, I just bought 2 Mango at the farmers market in Playa Vista and I was charged $14. I told The young man, I thought it was $5 each and he said “no, but you can get 3 for $20) I could have sworn I paid $5 each in the past 🤔
I was reading through these and wondering the same thing. I just bought 3 for $20 today at the Claremont farmers market and i stumbled onto this blog and I was feeling like I paid too much. I guess they’ve raised their prices recently. I wish I had discovered them when they were cheaper bc I can’t afford to buy as frequently at this price :/
They are also available at Monrovia Farmer's Market
I just bought one for $6 or I could have bought 3 for $15 at the Farmers Market in Riverside at the County building. It is so good, I will be buying more next week.
This woman is lying. $5 a tub and she told me $7. Glad I'm not alone but stop supporting this vendor.
Where we can buy the kefir coffee we live in Bakersfield ca Can I buy it at any market
Seems like we need to stop buying from this vendor. I was also charged $6 per tub at Kaiser Fontana's Farmer's Market last Friday. It was $23 for 4 tubs. The fast talking salesperson said it's expensive because of the "high quality ingredients." It's yogurt, and it's not that much better than grocery store European style yogurt.
I worked for Bonjour, the owner adds sweetener like Stevia to some of the yogurts and doesn't specify that on the container, we once only used sheep's milk but the owner Mehdi, found cow's milk was cheaper, he still had us marketing it as sheep's milk even though it wasn't until a manager of a farmers market was talked to because someone who bought his yogurt got sick. He had to change it to "Cow's milk" on the label. The manager is shady, he treats his employees like garbage, he doesn't mind lying to the customer, he told me many times to make up whatever sells the yogurt. He is a crook
Another thing, the venders make up prices. A lot of his venders are pocketing money so charge people more. The yogurts are supposed to be 13 for three. The manager Mehdi has told us all to do whatever we need to to take the customers money. He lies to the market managers and has us lie to the consumer and market manager. I also don't believe the ingredients are what he says they are. Knowing for a fact he adds stevia to some without adding that to the label. I noticed labels figuring less ingredients so we could compete with healthier yogurts. Although not changing ingredients. Don't support Bonjour! I promise you you don't know what you're eating. He always markets his yogurt as fresh daily but we sold days old yogurt regularly and he would tell is to market it as fresh. That's why you'll never see a date label on the containers.
Someone in the office just bought some and shared with me. I loved it so it's great to have this info because I wanted to run out and get some. I make my own so I was wondering how it got its sweetness without any sweeteners. I saw that they use honey and yet that was not on the label either. I agree that this product is a little shady and if you have any allergies, I would stay away from this one.
My first time love the flavor very much pumpkin and carrot the best. Same issue for me too. Vendor Studio City Farmers Market charged 3 for $15. so now I feel ripped off. Also can you please give nutritional information I thought legally all food products must contain this information Thank you
I don't have the nutritional information. You should ask them?
Hi all so I was looking into this yogurt brand because I am on a low carb diet for health reasons and I was blown away on how they could capture such sweetness in there yogurt without added sugar. This is the only site I can find that isn’t just a farmers market with one person saying we love this addition to our market. Let me explain what I have observed and you can make your own decision. I go to the market with my little ladies and my wife every Saturday without fail my wife worked there for years and we have been going for at least 10 years. There is a great community here and we are good at weeding out the bad apples (ones with pesticides on them;) Anyways Bonjour showed up in the last year and I tried his product and I was blown away for reasons stated above. When I tried it he said that there was no added sugar at all. I couldn’t believe it because it was so sweet so asked if there was added sweetener he assured me that there wasn’t any. He even went as far as to tell me that the lactose in milk after being cultured is what is causing the sweetness. Well I was hooked I bought 2 sheep’s milk vanilla every week for a long time. I won’t get it to the price issue which is whole other issue. Well once I went and they were out of sheep’s milk so I got the cows milk. Well it was incredibly sweet so I went back next week and asked why he told me again that lactose in cows milk is more sugary. Ok well I don’t know much so I got my normal sheep’s milk. One was incredibly sweet just like the remaing cows milk and one was like the other sheep’s milk I had bought previous. So first I thought well maybe they mislabeled. But know it seems I am getting the sweeter 90 % of the time. This was my first red flag. So I jumped on line and started searching for information. Can anyone help me find there Facebook, Instagram, website, and or anything pertaining to the existence of this Company. There is nothing on there pacakging and nothing on there sign at the market. The only information we are given is verbal so they aren’t really committing to anything they say verbally. This is very concerning. I will not be buying this product anymore until I can find any additional information backing what they are claiming verbally.
Hi, We have been buying BONJOUR! Yogurt based on the ingredients listed on the containers & claims that there are no added sweeteners except the fruit. We have purchased at several Farmer's Markets in Southern California. We feel totally deceived but take responsibility for not investigating sooner. We started to ask questions and have received various replies regarding the sweet taste from various vendors. None of the replies correspond with the ingredients on the container. We were told some flavors have added honey, agave, possibly sweetened flavors & lastly possibly regular sugar. None of the sales people were able to provide a definite answer. I texted the company to a phone # provided by the Seller which I found in another blog 1-310-689-944 5(said text only no calls). No reply in over 2 1/2 months. One booth had a sign up with the companies e-mail so I sent an e-mail over a month ago, no reply -bonjour.spreads@gmail.com. The address listed on the container (as shown) for the company is: 24002 Via fabricante, mission Viejo, CA 92691. Our family will not be supporting this company any longer.

So Aris , Bonjour , and/or now Brothers... these companies all carry the exact same product and have the same process to "making them". Bottom line, they dont make any of the yogurt like they claim. As far as calories, there's over 400 calories per container. This stuff is made from whole cows milk and yes they all add extra sugar for taste. Please be careful on what you buy at farmers markets. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. They will make up any story to sell sell sell. "Low on sugar" "all natural" "good for you" all just a few of the lies to sell their over priced products.
Hi again, I previously posted as Anonymous on February 19, 2020 at 2:16 PM
I left out some important information. I have several autoimmune problems & an allergy to GMO sweeteners including regular sugar. The last time I had more than my usual teaspoon full of Bonjour yogurt. I was in pain for 3 days (less each day) & had bloating and digestive problems. Previously the teaspoon full caused some problem but I didn't realize it was the Bonjour yougurt. I eat a very simple diet & low carb, no gluten, no sugar diet. I only use organic stevia. I keep track of my food daily & can eliminate any other causes. Bonjour has to be held accountable for their product. I will be contacting market managers. Please do the same if you have a problem with them.
For the record charged $7 for Sheep's Milk & Kefir (8 oz) and $6 for Cow's Milk with $1 off for any 3.
I read many of the comments on this blog. I am disappointed at how many people are complaining, without any suggestions of solutions. People who have been eating a lot of the yoghurt for a very long time without issue...now with a list of complaints! Doesn't make rational sense.... If you don't like/approve of a product....then surely its appropriate to just move on. Not waste time and energy tearing the business down. Its clearly a one man show. So he's not going to have the budget or expertise of a big commercial yoghurt manufacturer....Nor the chemical ingredients either...think about it! I am certain the man works very very hard. And the man could do with a few lessons in business management. However, lets face it, the product is rich and smooth, has a wide range of flavors...many flavors i haven't seen elsewhere. And is delicious. Apart from one comment by a woman complaining that she had stomach upset "For 3 days, as a result of eating 1teaspoon of the yoghurt."...okay then..there are no others as to health related issues.
Questions as to the origins of the sweetness..many , i was curious also. However a very disgruntled former employee's post stated "they use stevia as a sweetener" By the anger in her words, i have no doubt that she would have mentioned it if there were other sweetness added. And the pricing....i saw that the guy hires people to sell the yoghurts...so im guessing they buy wholesale and sell via the markets at whatever price they can. RE Nutritional contents: instead of berating him...Im sure a polite email/call suggesting that he needs that on his label...and even better a person or company who could help with the nutritional label....For my part, Im going to keep eating it...cows, sheep, honey, stevia, $1 or $3 more or less...I know its delicious is a treat, not something to fill up on...or my waist line will get blurry. Finally: people please ...lets all apply the Golden Rule before we write 'harmless comments"...they can destroy a business someone is working hard to build.
To: dr asa
I am the person who had reaction to " more than 1 teaspoon". Please note that before posting I contacted Bonjour via text message as as blog online said no calls. I also e-mailed the e-mail posted on their sign at a market 2 times. I was informed by market sellers that they think it is sugar & some said agave & or dates, also that some flavors has more than others. The fact is the list of ingredients is incomplete. The fact is they do not respond. And yes I moved on and no longer purchase the product. It is a free country, if you wish to purchase the mystery product & are fine with it, enjoy. However please do not lecture those of us who believe in honesty, truth in advertising & following the state law that requires ingredients to be listed.
I buy Fage 5% and mix in Dalmatia fig spread. Done and done. The best.
Many Farmers Market vendors lie, cheat, deceiving, and play price games. It’s the facts. Many farmers are buying fruits at downtown fruit markets taking off the label and saying it’s organic to mAke money from lying. And of course any package vendors without nutritional label facts are lying as well because if they label the truth who would buy ? Vendors go to farmers market to make a quick buck. They don’t want to be in stores because liability and regulated restrictions. I used to work the farmers market is I see and hear many deceiving vendors.
i think the yogurt is delicious. Does anyone know where I can get some?
I bought the Chocolate Kefir this morning (& had it for lunch). Bought at the West Covina Farmer's Market, where the price was $6 each or 3 for $13 (my other two items were hummus). It was amazing, but am sure was probably half my calorie allotment (so now I'm looking for calorie information).
Where is the nutritional information for this yogurt?
They said 10 to 15 g of fat per serving but I’m guessing more
I have yet to see the nutrition facts listed on the container. I'm diabetic and would love to see what type of sweetener is used. It lists 3 ingredients. Added sugars? Stevia? Sugar alcohols? All the comments that are left are also wanting to see nutrition facts.
I wish they would list their ingredients as well. However that being said, I agree with the person who commented that y'all need to relax. We're talking yogurt here people. Taste it, and if you like it, keep buying it. I mean, somebody wrote that they added Stevia...like it was against the law or something. Really? Also, side note; if one teaspoon of "unqualified" yogurt turns your whole digestive tract inside out then you should probably do one of two things. 1. Make your own, or 2. Stop eating yogurt...I mean are you really going to miss one teaspoon...of anything?? Thanks, peace out!

There’s about a quarter of a cup of fruit added for the flavors with fruit.
No refined sugar added except for white chocolate and the Oreo cookie from the cookie only. Sweetened with either the fruit or with honey. 2 have stevia water- Coconut and Apple.
Very pricey at Huntington Park farmers market $7 or 3x20. That’s sad but the administration of the farmers market don’t have any control on prices and quality product. Vendor can said wherever they want about the quality and nobody corroborate that information
Interesting thread...has been going on for some time! FYI, there was a recent "expose" article on Bonjour in LAIst (great publication if you have not discovered it):
https://laist.com/news/food/bonjour-yogurt-kefir-unsweetened-farmers-markets
It seems the developer "Chef Kady" was able to admit to using a range of sweeteners (date, molasses, Stevia, and honey), but the reporter still didn't feel like she got the full picture. The report also mentions that there is a food testing lab that could confirm the ingredients, but the cost would be ~$250-$900 per sample/flavor. Recently, I have found some strange little black chunks in a couple of the flavors...I'm pretty sure they were cardamom seeds, but they were never there before. It gave me pause in terms of quality control (it was no fun biting down into whole cardamom seeds while trying to enjoy the carrot flavor--but at least they weren't rocks like I thought at first!). Any way, I do really enjoy the taste of this product, but I stay away from the vendors that charge more, and am buying a lot less of it for the many reasons mentioned here.
En donde lo puedo encontrar me canto solo lo compre en una farmer pero nose donde más lo puedo encontrar
Such a true comment. Worked for Aris a couple of years back but was blown away by the misleading that was presented to the public. All of these "creamy yogurt", Greek yogurt, kefir, kefir cheese , and most recently I've seen labneh are all the same product. All with tons of extra sugar and all from cows milk.
I sell this product I have a whole sheep’s milk, vegan, and combo milk come to Melrose Sunday, plumber park Monday, or Downey farmers market Saturday I’ll answer whatever questions you have!
It’s hard to say as there’s so many flavors and cost about $500 per flavor to get each flavor checked out
We are not all provided those facts. That’s why we don’t all have them but if that person does good for them.
The nut flavors do an cost more
Come to Melrose Place Sunday plumber park Monday, Delmi Saturday and you will get three for 15 guaranteed I carry Reagan and sheep’s milk
I sell bonjour yogurt and I’ve been selling it for about five years. My children sell it as well how my boss treats, his employees or not is none of my business nor is it why I am on here when me and my children sell the yogurt people ask us a lot of questions about it and I sell it as honest as I can. I do not know what is in it exactly I could only say what’s on the label, but I do know that they add Stevia water or Stevia leaf honey molasses apart from that I do not know what is added. I always tell people that if sugar is an issue, I would recommend to stay away from the flavored yogurt and to try either the Nutts or the plane the ginger or the rose. I also remind people that I am not a dietitian and I do not know nothing about dietary restrictions and I believe most of the people that work for the company don’t as far as the price it can vary depending on the fees that the markets charge some farmers markets charge a set fee, some farmers market charge, depending on the volume that we sell the yogurt used to be three for 13 when I started working for the company when the pandemic hit prices changed think yogurt started going for three for 15 the nut flavors do cost more because it cost our boss more for the nuts. I’ll sell them three for 15 either way because since I sell at a high volume it’s easier for me than to be keeping track if any of you ever want to buy for me I sell at the Melrose farmers market on Sunday, Plummer Park on Monday and Downey on Saturdays. I am proud in what we do. I love this product it’s not for everybody that is why we allow you to try and I always tell my customers check your blood. That way you know at the end of the day no matter where you shop at it’s your responsibility farmers market we do not have to give all the ingredients because we are smaller operations. It cost a lot to get one type of yogurt checked out we sell so many flavors it would be impossible for our boss to get every single flavor analyzed as far as how he has treated other employees. I cannot say as I do not know there’s so many of us there’s so many markets, and there’s so many people who love this, yogurt and I know a lot of people are comparing it to store-bought yogurt store-bought yogurt is not what they claim it is
Because too much to have everything over analyze, my boss is a small operation
Hey all- I get their sheeps milk yogurt. They have both. Cow milk or sheeps milk. Delicious as heck. Great gal working too
