“ Efficient staff! The line goes fast, if that matters to you. Recommended..the Kouign- amann filled with raspberry and creamcheese. Very good coffee. ”
“ Came here on a Sunday to have a few treats and get some work done. They just did a bit of remodeling and they no longer have outlets - unclear if this is temporary or not. Their pastries have always been good but not great in my opinion. I got a chocolate chip cookie and croissant. The chocolate chip cookie had good texture but fell flat in flavor and especially the quality of the chocolate. The croissant had good flavor but lacked in texture, there was 0% of the croissant that was crisp or crunchy. This places continues to rank the same for me, decent but probably wouldn't recommend to anyone. ”
“ Such a lovely coffee shop / bakery in Hayes! Visited early Sat AM - Staff was very friendly and attentive as we were the only ones in the shop. Props to them for answering my silly questions on French translations lol. Ordered the almond croissant and almond croissant latte (yes I love almond). My croissant was delicious, on the softer side (I prefer slightly flakier), but plenty of almond slices and a good amount of almond paste. The latte also had just the right amount of almond flavor to it. Was so impressed with their huge selection of baked goods - I've had their bread in the past and can also recommend. They also have plenty of food to order to-go or for dining in. Cute space to catch up with friends in Hayes! ”
“ La Boulangerie is roomy, bustling, and somehow still peaceful and comfortable. The store itself is so cute, especially with all of the decorations this time of year. Even with a line, service was quick and my croissant and coffee were, as well. The croissant was yummy and crispy, and the drip coffee was a great standard coffee. The coffee is pricy in general, but given that it's in SF, it's not too bad. It seems like a perfect place to study or spend some time catching up with friends. The location is great as well, with a close walk to the Painted Ladies and surrounded by cute stores and restaurants. ”
“ La Boulangerie Hayes Valley is fantastic. Super helpful and straightforward. Perfect for working or grabbing a bite in the morning or afternoon. The location is awesome, right across from the park, with lots of dogs around. Their butter croissant and almond croissant are top-notch--definitely French bakery level. Highly recommend this spot for a quick, delicious bite. ”
