Forbidden Meal MealMarch 3, 2015If you're looking for a French vibe in the heart of San Francisco, La Boulange is definitely a place to try out for a health-conscious afternoon snack, quick breakfast or simple a coffee break!
Donny MirandaJuly 4, 2015Good coffee, best Danish ever, very reasonable price great location. Great spot.
Mike DudasFebruary 26, 2013Egg, swiss, tomato and avocado on huge, sliced multigrain is this New Yorkers ideal version of the California breakfast
Erin KellyJanuary 4, 2012If you're on a budget (or a purist) grab a baguette and hit the butter & jam stand. With a big cafe au lait, still about $5.
Great coffee, great food and pastries. The people who work here are the best!
Blake VolgenauJuly 16, 2013There crescents are made with real butter and are one of the best I ever had.. Great on the egg sandy
Charlie FranklinJuly 29, 2012Hot spot for French visitors. Grab a back table and sip coffee while listening to French speakers!
JacksonSeptember 15, 2013Basically any pastry you grab will be delicious. Their tarts are exceptional.
Phil YeFebruary 23, 2014It's about before 7PM Saturday. People working here seemed to be disengaged with customers. One guy broke three big bowls. Not a super fancy place. Just another coffee shop with French name.
Laura ManessMarch 26, 2011Try the country egg sandwich (poached egg, swiss cheese, asparagus, red bell peppers, bacon & feta roll bread) w/ fresh fruit. Delish!
Ivan Velasco, Jr.August 11, 2010Vanilla flan and croissant bread pudding are yummy. Sit outside if the weather is nice enough and watch the people walk up and down Columbus Ave.
Erika TakayamaFebruary 11, 2011Great coffee and you can sit outside with your dog. I tried the open faced scallop sandwich it was weird (not gross) but unusual.
Ask for a loyalty card. Buy 9 drinks and get your 10th free.
Keep coming back for the bowl of oats with fruit, flax seed and honey
Can't go wrong with a place that has complimentary nutella and raspberry preserve for your croissant.
Egg fritata is great, open face salmon sandwich is great. Fig prosciutto sandwich is great.
Love sitting outside and reading a book on my days off.
Come early, they run out o their French Toast very quickly
