La Boulangerie

I custom ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday. It was an usual character but they assured me they would do the best they can and they did. The cake came out exactly like the picture I sent them. Loved it and there customer service. Our new favorite bakery. AMAZING 👏 🤩

Made a quick stop for a pastry and coffee. Service was quick and friendly. Nice outdoor seating for purple watching. The atmosphere is nice but needs to be modernized a bit in my opinion. Large selection of gourmet treats and breads. Parking gets very busy and tight during peak hours. I do recommend checking this place out if you want above average treats.

Too bougie for me but their cinnamon rolls and tarts are great! Service is great just gotta talk loud enough so they can actually hear which pastry you asked for. It's not my type of environment. Too bougie and busy. I'm a recluse and average. It's the talk of the town and highly recommended.

We've had 4 cakes from their bakery and every one of them has been amazing. The employees offer great service and we love choosing this place for birthdays and events. We haven't had a chance to stop by just for lunch but will do so soon.

stood in line to order. 2nd cashier appears and person behind us jumps ahead to order. cashier doesn’t care. cashier i am directly jn front of finishes with customer in front of me, looks past me and asks the person behind them if they are ready to order. i guess your cashiers are trained to believe people come stand in front of them just to look at them? food was fine. i’m just completely confused and flabbergasted that the cashiers won’t serve the next person in line.

I had high expectations when visiting this bakery, given its upscale location and the fact that it’s situated near such a popular neighborhood attraction like Christmas Tree Lane. The exterior and ambiance of the spot are undeniably charming and high-end, which naturally sets the bar high for what you expect from their offerings. Unfortunately, my experience with their strawberry shortcake fell short. The cake itself was disappointing—it seemed like a basic breaded cake with a few full strawberries placed on top and even one thrown in the center. While visually it might appeal to some, the execution didn’t match the aesthetics. Incorporating the strawberries into a jelly or compote would have created a more cohesive flavor and texture, rather than just adding whole fruits as an afterthought. It feels like the bakery leans heavily on its polished image to create the impression of premium quality, but the actual product didn’t live up to the hype. I’d recommend they focus less on appearances and more on perfecting their recipes. For the price and reputation, I expected something truly special—not just something that looked good but delivered mediocre taste and presentation. If you’re thinking about stopping by, be aware that the looks might play a trick on your expectations. Hopefully, they’ll work on elevating the quality of their cakes to match their otherwise beautiful shop.

Mr. C's 💯 Delicious!! If you're looking for a taste of small-town charm and a truly authentic dining experience, you won't be disappointed!" It's not just about the food; it's about the atmosphere, the community vibe, and the personal touch.

Their croissants are so delicious and flaky! Definitely one of the best croissants I’ve ever had. I got their ham and cheese croissant, the only downfall I would say about it is that it was cold in the center. My coffee did take longer than I expected it to. It was ready by the time I was almost done with my croissant. Customer service was alright, it could’ve been a bit more welcoming/warm.

Arrived at 6:27 to pick up my order and stand inline for the gluten free pastries. I was not able to add them to the order. They are first come first serve only. Promptly at 06:30 am the door opened and the line already formed swiftly entered to escape the cold. Stood in line for about 4 minutes. I was served by Angie with a big gracious smile. Angie assisted us with delicious selections that would pair with our coffee choices. Angie recommended the almond croissant for flavor and texture, the peach danish specifically for flavor, and the bear claw. The pairings were to accompany a pumpkin spice coffee with half and half and toffee nut syrup and a French vanilla latte with a splash of toffee nut. Her pairings were perfect! Peach danish: The perfect shade was noted on the pastry. To the touch the pastry was extremely crispy, with a gentle push it beared the weight and rose back up exposing how pillowy soft it is. It was lightly dusted w powdered sugar, and topped with slivered almonds. I cut a small bite and the forward notes were buttery and sated to perfection. The texture was HEAVENLY with true craftsmanship showing on the caramelization of the bread portion. Almond Croissant: HOLY YUM. This pastry is a tough order, because if done wrong they are very dry! Here we go again with the word CRISP! It's the truth.. Crispy, soft, almond forward flavor not a hint, a goooooooooood almond forward flavor, no guessing! The textures are fighting to be noticed, crunchy almonds, buttery soft, crispy bread, light sweetness coming into play. This pastry was devoured by myself and my aunt! Bear claw: JUST DELICIOUS!! Delectable almond filling!!! So Lucious and creamy, perfectly moist! Blueberry danish: same stuff noted on bread portion.. Devine!!! I'm a huge fan of fresh blueberry flavor. Blueberry must have a small touch of acidity to brighten the flavors up. The blueberry filling was done WELL, now I want to order a blueberry pie next time!! Coffee was very freshly brewed, full robust flavors and made exactly as they were ordered! Checking out: Jenni handles the stress and the hustle and bustle well! She has the patience of a saint, is on top of it, listening and managing calling out coffee orders while punching in and charging customers correctly from the bakery counter. What a great multitasker! Angie made excellent recommendations, clarified my cake and bun order, and promptly brought them to the table!! Every single staff person was MOVING WITH PURPOSE, TO COMPLETE TASKS, COMMUNICATING THROUGH THE RUSH, AND TACKLING THEIR DAY WITHOUT THE APPEARANCE OF BEING OVERWHELMED!! This energy is always felt by the customer, and it starts from the top with good leadership and each employee knowing what their tasks are and how to accomplish them! I came for the gluten free options for. Family member that has celiac. The specific option I came for was not available today. NO BIG DEAL. I was given two other options. Gf macaroons was one option, which had proper technique noted by the legs visible on the cookie, proving proper technique and proper cook! The second option is a date dessert. We value gluten free options now, would love to see a larger selection. Every pastry was stocked to the back, they were appropriately staffed, every employee knew their products. The store was immaculate, with indoor and outdoor seating spaces. The trash cans were clean and empty, it was opening time.

La Bou... an office fave for sure. I wouldn't call it one of MY favorite places but I do enjoy it whenever I do have it. For lunch, I'd get the Tuna, the Chicken Salad, or the Egg Salad sandwiches... Depending what I feel like eating at the moment. I always get it on the Croissant... croissants just make every sandwich better in my opinion. I usually just get a cup of water and never really get chips-- but, with the Egg Salad sandwich I like it with Hot Cheetos. The cookie they give you is a bonus. All three sandwich options are great. If I had to rank them from my preference? It would be: 1) Tuna 2) Egg 3) Chicken. If I'm really hungry, I'll order the whole sandwich. If not-- half order. As for their bakery... very good. I've never actually ordered anything for myself but our office used to get everyone a cake for our birthdays every year and most of the time they came from La Bou! Obviously, the Nicois is delish. The Cappuccino is one of my faves... anything coffee flavored to be honest. Tiramisu, duh. The Pink Champagne one is good but not my fave. I'm sure all their cakes are good. As for the smaller pastries... I've had the tarts, eclairs, the macs, the cream puffs, and the cupcakes. As long as it's one of the key flavors I always look for-- I'm all in. Sometimes people pick correctly when they gift it to me... other times, I'm glad to try something new lol (no pics of any btw). Limited seats inside and outside, only because they are usually pretty busy/packed. People are in and out and move along quickly though... we've never had trouble getting a small table for us to eat at. Also, all the tables are pretty much shaded so that's a plus. Service is pretty quick. We usually do call ahead though if we're getting lunch for work because of how busy they get... so, you have been warned. Final words: good lunch spot, great bakery.

Location: Fig Garden La Boulangerie Date: July 9th 2025 Service: Cake 8inches Recently went to La Boulangerie to pick up a cake for the office due to an event. Every time I bring a La Boulangerie baked good there is no leftovers always gone immediately. The line was short because they were closing soon for the day. Best time to go to La Boulangerie is there off peak times during the day. Right when they open and before they close. The store is clean. They offer inside and outside seating. On there bistro side you can order food and beverages. I ordered the mango smoothie. Check out the photos. We strongly recommend that you make a visit to La Boulangerie in Fig Garden.

Came here on a Monday - oh boy what a change from my previous visits. The croissant kinda yesterdays croissant , the cream cheese croissant was ok - not as great as before ( it was not as newly baked I guess ) Service was quick as there were no lines. There was no fresh baking aroma when we got there though - that should have given us our hint.

The chocolate croissants were terrible! They shouldn't even be called croissants, rather dough pockets with a smattering of chocolate chips. The layering is non existent and they were HARD! It is sad to see a bakery that has been a Fresno institution start a slow decline. Since Patrick sold to the new owners, cost not quality has been the focus. To repeat, really, really sad.

There is nothing less French than eating a pastry off a flimsy paper plate. Paper cups only even for dine in espresso. Was completely ignored for over 10 minutes.

Amazing food, service, the ambiance is very aesthetic, nice, & calming, 10/10 highly recommend . Nourriture incroyable, service, l'ambiance est très esthétique, agréable et apaisante, 10/10 fortement recommandé.

Been coming here for the better part of the last 15 years JUST for their Nicois cake. It's the perfect slice of Heaven for any event and everyone always wants to know what it is and where I got it. La Boulangerie is such a hidden gem here in the old fig garden area of fresno and me and my family love it. We love it so much my nephew now works there, un the cake department. I've also heard their bistro serves up some pretty yummy stuff too! The service here Is also pretty fabulous. They definitely have a system down that works on getting people served as friendly and efficiently as possible.

Probably my favorite bakery hands down. Anytime I need a cake this is my go-to place. They've made everything for my family from birthday cakes and baptisms, to a cake for my dad's celebration of life. The German chocolate is one of the best. The line can be crazy long especially on Saturday mornings. The mini zucchini loaves are a must try. The peach danishes are another one of my favs. It's hard to go in and choose just one item.

I always go there when I am in that part of town and have never had a problem. I went in today and ordered a apple turnover which they are always changing and then got to a macaron, I get in the car and take a bite of the macaron had walnuts :( I have an allergy to it, had to take a pill and a shot I'm fine by the way. So the point is that I thought by law they HAVE TO HAVE signs put up so people know what they are eating or what the ingredients is at least, when I asked the guy what was the cookie he never said macaron with walnuts and I never even heard of that kind of cookie so now I know too ask so I don't end up dying next time I go there

Warm and welcoming atmosphere, classic decor, and amazing pastries. We stopped by here for some morning coffee and pastries for the first time after eyeing the business for a while. First off, the pastries are just pretty. I almost didn't want to eat them because they're just nice to look at. And the textures are what they should be; flaky, soft, and crispy even they're supposed to be. The flavors are sharp, and everything tastes homemade. To top it off, prices are reasonable and the staff were understanding and patient with us as we figured out our order. The only negative was the coffee took a little long to be served, but it was serviceable. We definitely plan to return here for special breakfasts like Christmas, birthdays, and cheat days!

I wish I can eat their fruit tart and lemon bar every day. Prior to coming here, I tried their carrot cake from my coworker's birthday and it was sooo good. One slice was rich and filling. I knew I had to try their other pastries. I went after 4pm on a weekday and it's located in a really nice area. The inside was pretty and there's also outside seating which was where I sat enjoying the pastries. The employee was friendly and patient with me as I chose the pastries. I ordered the fruit tart, lemon bar, mini bundt cake and a peach filling pastry (I wasn't sure it was a turnover or danish?) lol but everything was good besides the bundt cake because it wasn't that moist. Overall, I would definitely go back and try their cookies then get some lemon bars and fruit tarts :)

Honestly I'm pretty grossed out. I was recommended this place however when I arrived and asked for a pastry, the minute the associate picked up the pastry a nice handful of gnats went flying around. I was so grossed out I said never mind. I almost didn't want to eat anything after that however since I was with a friend who loved this place I didn't want to make a fuss. I ended up ordering something different out of another shelf which didn't appear to have bugs in it. I also ordered an Italian cream soda however upon receiving that they served me an Italian soda. I then had to ask for that to be corrected as well. I would say for this being my first experience they certainly were not having a great day. I'm not impressed and will probably not visit again.

Beautiful, fresh, and scrumptious! This awesome business is great to visit, and is consistent with quality and flavors! Today we were lucky enough to come across a booth they had at Vineyard Farmer's Market. We purchased a loaf of sliced Raisin Walnut Bread, Portuguese Sweet Bread, and a phenomenal pastry with fresh apricots baked atop. All items were crafted with care and tasted as exquisite as ever! I loved that they had the option of buying a loaf unsliced or sliced. Shared with family, everything was enjoyed! When purchased, their service was friendly and they were super sweet and helpful. What a happy surprise that we came across them today while wandering at the Vinyard Farmer's Market. We love visiting their location at Fig Garden Village, and have for years. I will definitely purchase from them wherever they are, again and again! Impress friends and family by taking some of their delishisness to potlucks, or just for a visit! I guarantee you will put a smile on their faces! Well done!

"The cakes are absolutely incredible! You can really taste the freshness in every bite, since all the ingredients are high quality and everything is made from scratch. I especially love that the flavor is perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just delicious!!

Bad service. Please check what your order receipts before handing baked goods to your customers in a taped box! Had to drive all the way back to get it!

The food won't disappoint. But very busy it's really weird when you order food and you want a drink' it's not a real smooth set up if you're in a hurry not the place to go if you go after 7 o'clock in the morning.

I come here all the time. Especially for their bread. I love the bread. The pastries are great as well. I always recommend this place to friends/family. I haven't had their cake in a while, but for my bf I decided to splurge and get their 8 inch cake because I remember it being sooooo good. I'm not sure if they changed their recipe, but I do remember the frosting being just perfect. Not too sweet, but this time it wasn't really sweet at all. Almost like they possibly forgot to put sugar in it? Or maybe that's how it always was? I'm not sure. The guests enjoyed the cake. In all honesty the cake alone was great. Fruit/filling great. But the frosting just threw me off. I opted not to eat that portion. But it was beautiful. I paid an extra $15 for the whole top to be filled with fruit. In total the cake was about $65?

A Fresno staple and classic. I am not in any way a "regular" here...I don't meet friends here, have a favorite breakfast order, or know any of the employees by first name. I don't even get the chance to stop by monthly. BUT this is definitely the type of place that has regulars, and also is worth stopping by when you want a delicious breakfast quiche, some freshly baked bread, a decadent cake for a special occasion that looks as amazing as it tastes, or any variety of pastries, mostly of the sweet persuasion, but with a few savory options thrown in. I've tried many other bakeries in town (both newer and older than this place), and for quality, price, and deliciousness, I keep finding myself coming back to this location. And, the only thing on my birthday wish list each year is a cake from La Boulangerie. Some of my family's favorites include the chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, any of the croissants and the mini fruit tarts. I also love trying their different breads and dinner rolls. The cholla bread is fluffy, chewy, with just the right amount of sweet. And the breakfast quiches are full of goodness, and just the right amount of seasoning. While you will be very lucky to come here when there isn't already a long line, their ticket system of calling folks to the counter runs efficiently, and they are very good at getting you helped and out the door faster than you may expect. I am very grateful that the service has continued to be high quality, even after a change in ownership a while back. Please, La Boulangerie, keep up the good work. I am hopeful to stop by for many more birthdays, special occasions, and "just because" moments in the future.

Thanksgiving Pie The bottom center of the pies were raw. I purchased a blueberry and apple pies.

So I normally love this place but the past 2 times I've come in have not been the best. This time we got a quick breakfast, the quiche and a ham and cheese croissant the quiche was not fully warmed up and was cold in the middle,literally 45min later we're both rushing to bathroom. Last time I came i got a fruit tart and the strawberry still had dirt on it.. Small things like this makes me question what other things they're careless about ...

This place has phenomenal cream cheese croissants. Quite busy but service is quick. I got a ham and cheese croissant, which was very good, my only issues was the middle wasn't as hot as I would have liked. Pumpkin spice latte was delicious, not overly sweet like Starbucks & tasted like good coffee & the regular coffee was good tasted fresh and just good in general. They have a spot to add creamer & sugar, several types of sugar & flavored creamer plus half and half

One of the best bakeries in town with delicious and fresh pastries and breads. Come for coffee and a snack and take home fresh bread. So good. Great seating and outdoor cafe vibes in lovely fig garden. Great way to spend a leisurely morning or afternoon

Great pastry with ample selection for all preference, and good coffee drinks We will be back for more

I give this five stars, because they have the best French pastry in Fresno. It is all made with butter and SOME of our favorites, there are SO many, are these: cherry danish, apricot danish, nut bar, big flaky croissants, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, fresh strawberry croissants and baguettes, of course! ;) Their morning quiches are buttery, savory and delicious! On the first Tuesday (ONLY) of every month, they bake an ORGANIC, stoneground milled, rye bread that you CANNOT get ANYWHERE else! Pre-order before the first Tuesday. I have even pre-ordered a week or so prior. You will have to pre-pay for the order. They come in one or 2 pound loaves. I have mine sliced and freeze a couple loaves to last me the month. It's a very dense, moist bread. When my brother comes to visit, THIS is the place he wants to be sure to come. . . We sit outside and leisurely enjoy morning pastries, or brunch here. At La Boulangerie, it is easy to pretend that you are NOT in Fresno. The café has fresh delicious food and their salads are fantastic! I enjoy both their Mediterranean and Chinese chicken salads. The side salads (Bowtie pasta, and Potato salad) that come with the soups and/or sandwiches, are equally good! The French Onion, and the Chicken with Wild Rice soup taste homemade with rich and hardy flavors. I also recommend their Grilled Vegetarian sandwich and their Chinese chicken salad on a croissant. The Parker rolls that come with soup or salad are very moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. . . like they are supposed to be! One of Fresno's ' jewels'!

I'm leaving this review in the spirit of helpfulness because the outdoor dining area today was truly disgusting. The food we got (eclair) was fine. The service was slow-ish as always (despite not too many customers) but everyone who wants a pastry at La Bou has come to accept slow and not especially friendly service. But when the outdoor eating area, on a gorgeous fall day, is completely out of control and disgusting, it wouldn't matter if you had the best eclair in the world, or fast friendly service. What we saw was completely offputting. The outdoor tables were dirty too. This was not a brief or temporary problem. The area looked like this when we arrived. It looked like this after we waited in the slow line for the eclair. It looked that way the entire time we sat outside at the least dirty table we could find. It looked that way an hour later when we passed by it again after shopping. At no point did we see any employee come outside. No one wiped tables or addressed the trash -- and I mean the situation was beyond "trash" -- you could fairly describe it as "filth." Look at the photos. The only reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 is my sentimentality from when this was a really nice place. What happened? And in Fig Garden Village? I'm surprised the surrounding businesses didn't complain. This does not give "upscale shopping center." It gives "run-down shopping center in distress." Not the vibe FGV is going for. If I'd never been here before, I would never come back. I live nearby and have fond memories of this place so I'll probably check to see if they get the situation under control. But the condition of the outdoor space was beyond horrible.

I went in there this morning and there was one person helping at the counter and about 15 people in line. Some employees were bringing out pastries to place in the case, but they didn't even look up or help customers. Maybe that's not their job, but it was 10 in the morning and people were lined up. What happened to this place? It used to be so well run!

i remember the good old days when everything La Boulangerie made looked like it had come straight from heaven. The handheld pastries all look great these days but the cakes are rather disappointing. Some are crooked, some look sloppily done, and the variety of days gone by just isn't there. For the price I paid for their smallest cake, I could have gotten a prettier, bigger cake just around the corner at Whole Foods. I'm sorry, La Bou--from here on out, I will feast on the memory of your long ago cakes.

Been here a few times always very busy you gotta stay alert to keep the line moving today I bought a cake for 61.99 and a few other pastries, what was disappointing was when I asked if there was any peanuts used in the cakes she said no but they deal with peanuts so it can get on anything at any time :/ I took a chance with a blueberry muffin mini for my allergic kid and hour or so later she started to flare up. After medication she was good the next day I made another mistake and gave her a red velvet cupcake and she also flared up not sure if the coloring that was used gave her flares or some peanuts but regardless I won't be coming here anymore.

First off, the quality of the espresso and the Lemon cake is the only reason the review is not below 3 stars. Pros: Lemon cake is great (when they have it). The salted toffee iced latte. And the iced white chocolate mocha. (And oat milk options is sprays a positive.) Good customer service. Even with the long lines, they had a lot of employees on hand to keep customers moving. They have a lot of seat's and It's not too loud inside. They also have plenty odd seats outside, and that's where a majority of the customers were on this 77 degree summer day. Cons: LOTS of mosquitoes floating within the cakes/pastries/cookies display. As in the s'mores cookies that we selected was not the one the mosquitos landed on. The chocolate shavings on the s'mores were good, but the s'mores were bland. The Lava cake was not good either. We found their neighboring grocery store's chocolate quality within the pastry was IMMENSELY better. Their lines for baked goods is very long, but...(read above). Lastly, their mocha took about 12 minutes to make. That was after a late and a hot chocolate was made for the other patrons. That isn't a very good speed of service for their business model. Final review, a 2.8 out of 3, which my wife says is too generous.

I've been on the hunt for the best almond croissant in the Fresno/Clovis area and I've finally done it. This place has the best almond croissant I've ever had. It's soft, flaky, perfect amount of almond paste and great size. The almond paste tasted REAL. A lot of times the almond flavor can be chemical or fake. I also tried the almond danish. The danish middle has almond paste and cream cheese. That was also delicious. The other pastry I had was a lemon scone. The scone was moist but the only lemon flavor was in the minimal amount of glaze, not the actual scone. So I would skip that. Service was great!

This Bakery gets pretty busy. If you are planing to go there to pick up a birthday cake I recommend to order ahead and pay in advance so you don't have to wait in the big like for regular orders. Also they have some of the best cakes in town. They have many different flavors and fruity ones. I also like the baguettes here. They are crunchy and fresh. The cookies and little pastries are so good!! I like the fruit tarts and the creamy filling ones. Be prepared for long lines. But as soon as you make your order you pay right after and you are out. They also have a café. They have breakfast and lunch. I have never eat there. Maybe one of this days I go and have breakfast there. The ambience is casual. There is plenty of room to seat and eat inside or outside. I didn't get any pictures. Next time I will take some.

Changing menu selections of sandwiches, salads, breads, cakes, pastries and more makes this a great option for a variety of tastes and moods. Sourdough rolls are San Francisco Fishermen's Wharf level texture and taste. Lots of seating indoors and out. You may see some furry friends enjoying the vibes with their humans.

Service was mediocre- very nice presentation at counters - not so impressed with the taste of pasties . it's ok if you want to impress your guest but not worth the hype ! over priced.

La Boulangerie is probably the best bakery in Fresno & The Central Valley. I've been there during all times of the day and week and it never disappoints. They do an amazing job with all types of bakery items, sandwiches, soups, quiche and the like. They serve a variety of coffee drinks with a wide variety of other drinks as well. During nice weather, sitting outside is the best. The ambiance and the overall experience at this establishment will not disappoint. Highly recommend!

*Sigh, I feel like this place has gone downhill since the original owners sold it. I'm not sure what happened to this place. This bakery had my favorite cakes of all time. I get the Nicois cake for New Years every year and it's gotten worse each year. I don't know if they're just so busy and not paying attention to quality but the cake had no flavor. The whip cream didn't have the creaminess, airy, fluffiness like it used to and there was no sweetness. The cake itself was dense and dry. The nuts were the only flavors we actually tasted which is sad. The cake looks so gorgeous as always but this is the last time I will order our cakes for New Years.

The presentation of the cakes is what caught my eye first neat, colorful!, and not overdone. I picked a few to try and none disappointed. Each bite felt light but satisfying. The staff didn't talk much but they were polite and efficient. It's a small shop, but you can tell they care about quality.

La Boulangerie is my go to for cakes and pastries. I've had Eddie's and Frosted Cakery, but their cakes are too rich for me. I LOVE La Boulangerie's fruit tarts. They're just absolutely delicious. I've bought them and I've been given them as gifts. Food is my love language so I'll gladly accept tarts as gifts. Cakes- I'm obsessed with pink champagne cake from Madonna Inn in SLO. It's always a place I stop by to get my big slice. The custard in it is so good. When I found out La Boulangerie had pink champagne cake in 2021, I ordered the 1/2 sheet for my mother in law's 80th birthday celebration. It was different from my pink champagne cake from Madonna Inn, but it was so delicious and the size was perfect because the cake was gone by the end of the celebration. Pie- Our Aunty Eva on my husband's side, who I adore, used to make homemade pumpkin and cherry pies for Thanksgiving from scratch. Unfortunately, she is in her 90s and in a home so she does not cook much anymore. I accidentally bought a sugar free cherry pie from Walmart the year before and it was gross. Thanksgiving eve of 22, I ordered a cherry pie. Pick up was fairly easy. Size of it was almost as big as the Costco pies. It had a great balance of tart and sweet. Some cherry pies are made too sweet. The crust was delicious and flaky. The pie only lasted for 2 days. Price: La Boulangerie isn't a normal routine for me because it is a splurge for special events. I believe the cherry pie was around $40. I honestly forgot much my mil's cake cost and I want to say it was close to $80.

This place is fantastic. Service was great. Everything looked yummy. Wish we had one in Seattle.

Wanted a cake for a special occasion and after review of a few bakeries, we decided to go with La Boulangerie. After reviewing the cakes online, we decided to go with the Nicois cake. That was the perfect choice. I ordered the 14 inch cake it was perfect for our 25 people we could really large pieces and had cake to spare. The cake was so light and fluffy, the fresh fruit in the middle of the cake was delicious. The cake is not super sweet. It is just the perfect amount of cake and filling and fresh fruit. The nuts around the outside of the cake added the perfect crunch to the cake. Everyone in our meeting loved the cake. It is rare that everyone loves what is served and every person said how great the cake was. It was super sweet that they wrote what they wrote on the cake for me per my request. I have a twisted sense of humor, and I love that they did not question what I die requested to be written on the cake. Totally made our retirement party a success. I would totally order this cake again for any other parties I have coming up in the future. When I ordered the cake I did have to wait in line about 40 minutes, but that was my fault, I know how busy they get on Saturdays and I did not go until about 10 AM. I wasn't upset that long line just showed me how great the pastry was. When I picked up the cake I went straight to the line. where you pick up your cakes and there was no wait. Even though it was super busy, and the employees were serving people back, call me back, to back none of them had an attitude they were all super polite and smiling and helpful. Great customer service is always appreciated.

Very warm, inviting and cute bakery! All the items we purchased were delicious but our #1 favorite was the chocolate croissant. There was a long line when we arrived but the service was quick and we didn't wait more than 5-10 minute to be helped. We didn't get to try their breakfast/lunch items so we'll definitely be coming back for those but everything we did taste was amazing! Will definitely be coming back! 5/5.

As a first time customer, I was excited to give this place a try. Amidst the hot and cold reviews, I wanted to try it for myself. They're not off key on some of the bad reviews. Lots of signs and 3 different lines to stand in. May I suggest an employee to be in the lobby area to assist humans to which line they may stand in? Finally figuring out how to get my coffee and stood first in line for minutes. And minutes, and minutes. All the while, the young barista KNEW I was standing there. As she continued to make a drink and ignore my presence, she whispered to her co-worker and took off. So.... She's on a break? Minutes later I finally get some eye contact from another barista Jalynn. Her attitude or lack there luster was sub par. Maybe these employees are done working here or everyone is very unhappy. But it was a bummer because I passed Starbucks on my route here. No personalized service with Jalynn. Mine as well been a bot. I took my receipt and got into a second line to order pastries. I overheard my name from Jalynn so I asked a stranger to hold my place in line so I could go retrieve my drinks. When I asked her for a drink carrier you would have through I asked her for her shoe size! The nerve. Look, it's early, I get it, but attitude and demeanor mean everything. If you are unhappy in the job you are doing, pack up and find something that makes you happy instead of ruining others experience. Hopping back into the second line, I was finally called upon to step forward to the glass case of goodness. An Angel named Marisol saved the morning. Not only was she pleasant to be assisted by, she had a great attitude, smiled and genuinely appreciated my presence. She warmed my pastries and packed everything so perfectly. If it wouldn't have been for Marisol, I was ready to leave and go to Starbucks. The horrible lack of customer service here and bad attitudes are a direct reflection upon management. A customer behind me walked out and said they were going to Chez Maryse by the airport. Marisol, thank you for being kind. You never know what others are going through and we as free tax paying customers can bring our hard earned dollars anywhere. Was a let down for this establishment.

Visiting on business, I asked the locals where to go and more than one person suggested this French bistro. I went on the weekend and expected it to be busy. They offer indoor and outdoor seating to accomodate diners but the best part for me is that they had dedicated takeout lines to minimize the wait time for guest to order and go. I was able to try a variety of treats and each one so delicious that I kept coming back until my last day in the city... Go check them out.

We got a hot sandwich, quiche, PSL coffees, and an assortment of pastries on a Saturday morning. The place was busy but lines moved quickly. They had ample wait staff to clear the tables and trash so seating area was clean. Everything was delicious. It was a perfect autumn day having brunch and watching all the doggies walk by. I wish they could rework the line for pastries so we had a better view of all the available pastries before ordering. An elderly lady also cut in front of us to order coffee since it was unclear to her where the line started.

Great food .. everything I've eaten from this restaurant has been excellent .. I'm especially fond of the cold sandwiches, soups, and salads

For pastries , if you're near and it's morning or lunch. A nice place to spend good time with friends or love ones. Definitely a place to make lasting memories.

Let me begin by saying that until very, very recently, I have been a huge fan of La Boulingerie. The pastries and breads are good, even very good. I have enjoyed having lunch there on many occasions for many years; I limit myself to the time-tested alf sandwich and soup combo, and my wife gets the half sandwich and salad. The turkey sandwich on the walnut bread is wonderful, always has been and always will be (I hope). Until recently, the French onion soup has been really good for this sort of place. French onion soup is an art, and usually, they nail i (for this type of establishment). I am under the impression that the institution changed hands within the last few years. It appears to be largely unaltered, but I must comment on my most recent experience. We ordered our usual lunches and received them very promptly. It was a little too cool to eat outside (which is normally very, very pleasant), so we found a table in the somewhat newer section that was added within the last few years. It was, very busy yet the atmosphere was pleasant. The sandwich was, as always, wonderful. The French onion soup, however, it was very thin and approaching tastelessness. This made me very sad. As usual, my wife had the fruity iced tea, and she reported that it was good, as always. I had regular iced tea, and there was a subtle, unpleasant taste that I couldn't identify. I couldn't even finish half of the serving. Most distressing. However, I understand that things happen, so, while my wife went off to shop around a bit, I decided to get a cup of hot tea and, perhaps, a cookie or other treat. I stood at the counter for perhaps four minutes, while someone was busy preparing a number of specialty coffee drinks (or it seemed) and someone else was loading bread into the bread case. Again, no one so much as acknowledged my presence. I finally decided to give up--this is the second time in two visits that this has occurred-- and, the moment that I turned to step away, another customer walked up and stood beside me, and he was served immediately. Now I recognize that this last incident is probably just bad luck, but having been ignored (at the hot drink station) twice in two visits at their drink counter is a little disturbing. This will not put me off visiting La Bou, because it is my wife's favorite lunch spot in Fresno. But I must say that, in my opinion at least, they really need to turn things around to maintain my (occasional) custom.

Service is fast, lots of baked goods to pick from, and the staff is always polite and cordial. I don't really like their sandwiches so my review is based on their bakery section. Bread tastes good, during the holidays their pecan pie is the best I have had in Fresno, carrot cake is one of my family's favorite, and every time we are in Fig garden the kids always want chocolate chip cookies, pecan bars (including ME ), and their croissants. In order to give this popular bakery 5 stars, is for the bakery to get a fresh make over. Newer paint and a few touches, will make this place look more vibrant and updated.

Love coming here when I'm in town! Favorite things to order would be the plain croissants, their fruit tarts, the quiche is delicious and their cinnamon roll pastry! Love all the seating available outside.
