La Boulangerie

Lovely neighborhood joint in Hayes Valley. I love walking by even when they are closed as my dog just loves to peak in through the front door. The staff is so friendly and warm. They even come out and offer treats to the dogs if you approve. While the food is just ok I love the beverages. Today we got a peppermint mocha to be festive along with a chorizo empanada and a lobster Quiche. The quiche had bits of lobster meat but was rather dry and not as creamy as I'd like. The empanada was tasty and hearty. Definitely lovely with it being warmed up. Overall a great place, will definitely be back as the location is fantastic.

My first apartment in SF was near the Pine St location from '03-'07, so me and this place go way back. The Pine St location, from what I remember, had way better sweet pastries. Or they deemphasized them altogether. No blueberry cheese danishes or tarts in sight at this location?? Goodness. Best your sweet tooth will be able to do is a chocolate croissant. The other sweet pastries are much more mild. Their staff is nice and friendly but I do not like their systen where they always hand you off to another worker mid-order and then you're standing by the register while they figure out where your sandwiches are. Now, let me tell you the scam that is their fruit salad. You do not put yellow pieces of watermelon that deviously resemble pineapple in a fruit salad that already has bright red watermelon in it...and canteloupe..and honeydew. To prove I wasn't crazy I had my husband guess each fruit and he thought I was toying with him because it was "so easy." He, too, gave face of utter betrayal when he bit into this imposter.

Walked down from Alamo Square to find this lovely bakery with delicious croissant/Danish and Quiche options along with coffee. It was bustling on a late Saturday morning and we hit it right in between a busy time and were able to not wait in line and nab a clean table. We ordered quiche, empanada, chocolate/hazelnut croissant and everything was delicious. My Oatmilk triple Latte was scrumptious as well. Prices reasonable for the area and big bonus for a mostly clean restroom!

Very friendly shop. Clean, and I like the layout. My less than perfect rating is because the sandwich they served me was at least two days old, with wilted lettuce and the color of the meat on the sandwich had turned. My stomach has been speaking to me since I ate it. I wish I had tried a pastry instead.

I really love this place for its delicious and healthy salads, plus they have very testy bakery and good coffee, match with almond milk and hot tea😍 Staff is very helpful and friendly. There are a lot of places to work with laptop, WiFi, chargers. Definitely one of the best places for meeting people and also for freelancers who want to work in the cafe. Thank you, guys! 💙💛
