La Boulangerie de San Francisco

A beautiful canelé - dark brown crust, almost fudge-like rum/vanilla custard centre. Madame knows her products, and what goes in them, very well and will gently advise if you are stuck with making a choice (I wanted everything, of course). I thoroughly enjoy buying from knowledgeable bakers.

Stopped by La Boulangerie with a friend for coffee and eats. We had a few of the pastries, but the ham and cheese croissant was the one I enjoyed the most. I had a cold brew as well which was good. Some seating inside. Back seating is very hot with all the machinery. There are a few tables outside as well. Street parking only.

Great high quality bakery items. I had the buttery flake pain au chocolat, the ultra-moist banana/nut loaf, the perfect chocolate chunk cookie and a smoked salmon roll. Delicious and I was stuffed for the rest of the day. Yum.

I've come here for years, multiple times per week. Great food, great staff. Today, staff coughed on my food without covering her mouth, and was coughing repeatedly while she waited on me. I threw the food out and washed my hands. I was truly shocked that she was allowed at work. Don't know if I can go back.

Then, he said.."It's on Pine Street, on the left..right by the old Joy Hammer's Clamatorioum, where Weasel Stickinbox got her start. The La Boulangerie de San Francisco...you can't miss it. They've got Amazing pizza, Joy used to take all her girls there. So, I said.."Who the hell is Joy Hammer and what's a Clamatorioum? Well...he said "Joy ..and in her words...is the owner and the official taste tester of the Clamatorioum, and the Clamatorioum is where all those girls hang out when they're in town from Monte Rio. Too much info...way too much I said, and I bee lined it straight to La Boulangerie had had some Amazing pizza! ☆☆☆☆☆

The pastries were good, especially the filling in the raspberry pistachio croissant—it was delicious! The people here are really nice, too. It’s disappointing, though, that coffee is served in disposable cups even if you're not taking it to go.

We went in on a Saturday morning around 10:30. I ordered an almost croissant, pain au chocolate, 2 choc chip cookies, caramel latte and mocha. It was all fresh and delicious. There was a steady flow of customers. I will definitely come again when visiting.

Bought by Starbucks, and you can really tell by the customer service. The team here is so different from the team at Hayes Valley. They’re rude, and they look like they hate their jobs. The manager is also extremely rude, so I suppose, leading by example. A man cut in front of me and my child recently and the team served him even knowing that he skipped the line. In the past, a woman jumped in front of me and the same thing happened. They truly do not care about their patrons. We come here frequently, even though their quality doesn’t compare to local bakeries. Their coffee and espresso drinks are almost always undrinkable. The service staff makes the setting so awkward and uncomfortable inside. We will no longer be visiting.
