La Boulange has many locations throughout San Francisco, you can now find many of their pastries in Starbucks too. If you want to feel like you're visiting Paris for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack, this is a great restaurant to try. They have tons of pastries, quiches, pre-made sandwiches, sweets, as well as a hot and cold menu. Their... More

La Boulange is a great place for breakfast and lunch. I love their latte and pastries. it's almost impossible not to get one of those croissants. It's also a nice place for lunch, they have salads, sandwiches and main entrees. It's kind of pricey but the quality is good. My favorite es the Smoked salmon open face sandwich with Quinoa... More

Had breakfast here every morning during our stay in San Francisco. The choice, quality and quantity cannot be faulted. Difficult to say what my favourite breakfast was but the French Toast and fruit would probably be top! We still talk about it now we are home. Hope to go back to San Francisco net year so at least we know... More

We travel to Europe frequently, so when we happen upon a place here in the states that reminds us of there, ww just love it. We were on a weekend jaunt in town staying nearby at the Hotel Triton. We came for breakfast twice and back again for lunch. We loved the yogurt and fabulous granola. When your order the... More

Good place for breakfast near the Wharf in San Francisco. Was recommended by a local and it did not disappoint. The coffee and meal was very good and reasonably priced.

Great atmosphere. I would order a breakfast with fruit which you wouldn't get in Paris in a typical cafe. Their pastries looked wonderful but I would not recommend the openface goat cheese or flank steak sandwhiches - the chicken sandwich was very good. Although they said it was popular, the pesto and goat cheese were dry and baked into the... More

We liked the look of this place so went here for breakfast the next day and were not disappointed. This venue is set in the Financial District and clearly popular with the office crowd, there are plenty wooden tables and chairs and there was a nice buzz about the place. The staff were helpful and courteous when taking our order.... More

We visited La Boulange on our second morning in San Francisco. The one we visited is a beautiful, airy space, bustling with locals and tourists alike -- we chatted with one fellow in the lineup who gave us excellent sightseeing tips for the day.You can train staff to give impeccable customer service (which they did), but you can't put a...

My title says it all - delicious! I want to live in San Francisco if for nothing else, for this place. I could have eaten breakfast & lunch hear every day during our recent visit! They have quite a menu for such a small place (salads, sandwiches, quiche, soups, etc.). The pastries are excellent and the macarons are something you... More

Walking down Filmore or Hayes Street or Polk or Columbus and in the Height Ashbury the tired walker or city dweller can happen on a brightly colored welcoming cafe. Delicious breakfast treats, sandwiches, tarts, breads, house made granola , or chips and yesty soups. All here just like a mini Paris stop. My favs are the French Onion Soup, the... More
