"Chef Maggie Scales oversees the pastry program for the Link Restaurant Group and co-owns this wonderful French bakery, with its menu of toothsome breads, pastries and sandwiches. La Boulangerie offers a back courtyard and sidewalk tables for outdoor dining. Try the avocado toast, grilled cheese, or the L’Atlantique — toasted olive bread loaded with smoked salmon, lemon mayonnaise, avocado, and arugula — but save room for dessert, to stay or to go." - Beth D’Addono
"No shortage of fanfare has surrounded this longtime Magazine street bakery since Donald Link and partner Stephen Stryjewski took over from the previous (French) owners in 2015. What is undeniable: La Boulangerie’s impressive selection of hearty breads, among them the splurge-worthy olive fougasse, the blue cheese, and rosemary with sea salt loaves. Sandwiches served all day, including Boulangerie’s uptake on the egg McMuffin. Notable: La Boulangerie uses locally milled whole wheat flour, Louisiana honey, and raw sugar." - Eater Staff
"If it’s a European train stop-style sandwich you’re after, look no further than Uptown bakery La Boulangerie, and its delectable menu of sandwiches served on crusty baguette or croissant. Le Parisien is a classic — butcher ham, salted butter, Comté cheese, and cornichons on baguette. The chicken salad sandwich and smoked salmon sandwich, as well as the turkey, all compete with the ham as the best on the menu." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"Link Restaurant Group’s executive pastry chef Maggie Scales is at it again for La Boulangerie this year, with repeat appearances of the “Elvis,” a brioche cake filled with peanut butter and roasted banana and topped with bacon and toasted marshmallows; the more traditional galette des rois, rounds of puff pastry filled with almond cream; and the pretty, tasty New Orleans version filled with chocolate, strawberry almond, or plain cinnamon. Preorder for pick u and they’re all available on-site by the slice." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"In addition to La Boulangerie’s menu of starters and breads, there’s also just about every pie, tart, or cake, from pumpkin, apple, and pecan, to chocolate cream, lemon meringue tart, and chocolate ganache." - Clair Lorell
