Alexa Jane BrooksJanuary 6, 2015What a treat! Like stepping into a French cafe, don't be surprised if you start the day there with a coffee and end it again there with a glass of wine.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Alex SalazarDecember 17, 2011When you want something cheap and delicious, I always go here. Get a roll for 1.50 and an ice coffee for under 4 bucks. Then you can head to the condiments able where you will find nutrlla olives etc!
Wally NJune 17, 2018It's a perfectly serviceable place with good food and decent prices. Talking just always closed and is in a prime location so it's had business hours have a negative impact on the neighborhood.Upvoted Jan 27
The staff here is really friendly and they love when you bring your (well-behaved) pup in. My fave pastry is the Kouign-Aman (pronounced Queen Ah-MAHN) - make sure to ask for it heated!
Pick a pastry, any pastry. I also love the Parisian Omelette. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee may not be the strongest, but it’s a fun drink to sip. I love the ambiance as well. Find a spot anywhere.- J JohnFebruary 24, 2024One of the best French bakeries in SF. The flan is divine and the croissants are good especially the ham/cheese. Very reliable bruschetta baguette sandwiches and excellent coffee.
Bohdan HnatkovskyyJune 8, 2015Nice place. Here, as in any other place of La Boulange chain, serve yummy backed dishes.
Wilson Favre-DelerueMarch 21, 2016Lovely bakery products but those lines... I am now convinced San Franciscans like queueing even more than Hong Kongers do!
Ana VacafloresJanuary 11, 2018Indulge in a chocolate hazelnut croissant for something sweet or the Marina egg white sandwich for something salty. Delicious!
Luisfe ArreazaAugust 7, 2018Was nice, decent breakfast. Although it was nothing special on the experience itself, service is great and the coffee is massive, served on a BOWL 😂. See pic.
Cole KennedyNovember 11, 2023The lemonade was a low key lifesaver for a little hangover. Sausage and egg sandwich didn’t hurt either.
The La Combo (half sandwich/half soup or salad) is perfect, esp when you want to try more than one thing. The open faced tuna melt with french onion soup was amazing! I got lucky and they gave me sala
JoycottDecember 2, 2013Yeah, they're known more for their baked goods, but they have coffee that's simply sublime. Grab a sticky bun and a cappuccino, and dive in.
Without a doubt the best sandwiches and salads in the neighborhood. Grab a pre-made sando to go from the case, or sit and enjoy a salad or an open-faced sandwich. My favorites include the tuna melt, t
- The food is really exceptional here. The coffee? Not so much. Bitterest ever cappuccinos. Stick to lunch, bread & pastries; get espresso drinks at nearby Blue Bottle FTW
Aly OradyDecember 28, 2014Chocolate Ganache Tart is my favorite. The Chocolate Croissant is also very good.
Aaron MasonMay 16, 2013The bread pudding is amazing. Most places do this as an afterthought - here's it's just perfect. Best in the city.
Maria KolakowskaApril 18, 2015Their breakfast egg sandwich on whole wheat bread is so good that I dreamed about it.
Coffee in a bowl enjoyed at the tables outside = perfect Saturday morning
Eric NotrickOctober 11, 2014I guess they have the best latte, and the warmest staff as a coffee shop, ever. ☕️👌
Chicken caesar salad with balsamic dressing sub and a chilled glass of white wine pair perfectly with the great people watching
Danielle FApril 2, 2013Breakfast Sammie with whole wheat bread and bacon. Side of fruit and a coffee to complete your breakfast.
Start by ordering a croissant. Then get a croque monsieur. And finish with anything you can put nutella on.
Start your day with the whole wheat croissant, and a good serving on nutella from the condiments counter.
TiziaMarch 27, 2012Open-faced goat cheese sandwich. Almond croissant, tarts and French toast delicious too.
I am addicted to La Boulange! LOVEloveLOVE. Have their French Toast..I never want it to end when I am eating it. And pick up some bread (proper bread! none of this 'sweet' tasting crap that's everywhe
The trout and/or goat cheese salad are really good. And so are the salmon and/or goat cheese open face sandwiches.
c0uPAugust 26, 2013You have to get a burger just for the buns, which are basically toasted croissants!
- Get the wild mushroom mac & cheese (with truffle oil). It's ramekin-licking good!
Antoine M.September 28, 2012A nice choice of breads, perfect for french people suffering of homesickness.
- Try their monthly specials - they're usually very tasty.
- In a hurry? Grab a freshly pre-made sandwich from the cases near the door, or have a staffer grab you a pastry. No need to wait by the cases if you want to eat in, though; go to the next open cashier.
Shane VitriolApril 29, 2014The only thing without sugar or gluten here is the Perrier water. To be fair, it is a bakery :)
Dagmar MuthNovember 26, 2012take just a baguette and taste the free jams and nutella that are there for free
Chris KantarjievOctober 31, 2015Sadly, the puff pastry in my apple chausson had lost all its puff, rendering it indistiguishable from a frozen apple turnover.
