Review La Bouche - Hoboken

I came here with a group of four on a Saturday morning for brunch. The ambience and the conversation was excellent but the food wasn't as tasty as we expected. We ordered three items, brioche french toast, fruity crepe, and the ham omelette. The brioche french toast was not soft and seemed dried out. The crepe was larger than we expected but the texture was very thin and fell apart which made it difficult to eat. Finally, the omelette was my favorite item on the menu and came with a large portion size. However nothing stood out in terms of flavor. While the location and ambience were great, we were disappointed overall with the food quality given the cost.

The owner is unbelievably rude and disrespectful! When I questioned the owner about a reservation fee, he asked me if I could read. The food was overpriced and tasteless. In addition to the unnecessary fees, the service was horrible. DO NOT EAT HERE!! To your response: our server was notified about the omelets being overcooked. As for the rudeness, the owner point blank asked me if l could read. There is no argument there. Also, we asked if it was okay to stay and finish our drinks, and we were told that that was fine. As for time, it was three hours, not four (10:30 AM - 1:30 PM). There was no wait and plenty of tables available. Regardless, the owner/manager is/was rude and disrespectful.

Excellent Excellent...service was very nice and friendly, food 😋 was delicious very yummy 😋 big portions, we order 4 delicious 😋 plates for breakfast and drinks...wow a big surprise 😍 those look awesome and taste fabulous 😋

Went for outdoor dining this weekend during the really nice weather and loved it! It was easy to reserve a table ahead of time, and a we were seated on the sidewalk in the sunshine. The food was delicious and I will definitely go back to try their other menu items. I had the salted caramel waffle and my friend had the spicy mushroom omelet. We each ate the whole thing.

Came here early on a Sunday morning. I had no reservation so I couldn't get a table outside, however there was plenty of space inside. Food was excellent and staff was friendly. I'll definitely come again.

Went here for brunch today. There were bugs in the lettuce which got all over our food. I’m a really easy going person, but this was pretty gross. We asked for new plates and instead of remaking our meals they just put them on new plates. I figured everything would be ok but the bugs had gotten into everting and as I picked up a piece of bacon a bug crawled onto my thumb. I understand that things happen, but the staff wasn’t apologetic at all and just blamed it on organic produce. Don’t they wash the lettuce? On top of all of that when the check came they tried to charge me for the food and even gave me push back for the side of bacon. 100% will never come back here. It’s not even about the food it’s about the lack of transparency and the fact that staff didn’t even remotely care. The food looks good here but I didn’t get to really eat it. I do not recommend.

Food was spectacular as was the ambiance. Only criticism was our table, as the others, never got refills in on beverages, never checked on us once and we had to ask for the check. Food came out fast and was outstanding. Fix those minor issues, you're golden

Very cute little cafe. Cosy seats and nice decor! I bought the lunch special (small soup and sandwich) which was delicious. Croutons and cheese on the soup were good. Will definitely return to try other things on the menu. Took one star off because the soup was luke warm and there was no spoon in the utensils pack (which I would think is important when someone's buying soup!).
