I took my wife out here for lunch, and it was a great little sandwich shop.
I got the #17 roast beef. The sandwich was great, but my sauce kept squeezing out through the bread onto my fingers. The bread was my choice, so I can’t fault the cafe for that. The taste was good though. I wish the bacon had been more prominent, but all in all, still a great sandwich.
My wife got the #21. It came with their homemade “raspbeñero” sauce. Which she said was sweet and didn’t really have a habañero kick to it. She also said there were more red onions than she expected. I love onions, so that was a plus in my book, haha. However, not many sandwich shops offer roast pork as a meat, and that was pretty good.
All in all, we both finished our sandwiches, they were good food, and I, in no way, felt that I’d paid too much for what I received. They were full size sandwiches. The name may sound fancy, which usually means chintzy sized sandwiches, but they weren’t. They were pretty darn good. I didn’t feel the need to get anything extra to supplement the sandwich. I was satisfied. And I am anything but petit myself. Their selection was awesome too, it wasn’t just, “roast beef, turkey, etc.” You could tell they’ve thought things out.
Boulangerie will definitely make it into our sandwich...
Read moreI have had many great sandwiches here. The Boulangerie Rasbenero is amazing though.
However, I would come here a lot more if they figured out their online order pickup. I get anxiety here every time I go to pickup my order.
I used to wait in their long line but I'd get so much anxiety waiting with all the people so I switched to online ordering... guess what it's more anxiety inducing.
One time I thought I heard my name called out but some other lady insisted it was her order so I didn't want to argue with her. Ended up waiting another half hour (it's so hard to ask anyone behind the counter anything because they all have busy faces on and there is a long line for orders so you don't want to cut to ask the register) before they said they gave my order out already... well guess it was that lady that took my order.
I thought maybe it was a one off... but I ordered online again and everyone has their busy faces on again... thankfully no long line (maybe fewer people going because they have the same experience?)... but I had to wait in line to ask for my online order.
Better off just ordering in person and not online... but I guess I'll only come if I am really craving Boulangerie! Please change your pickup system so I can...
Read moreThis is a very dull sandwich shop with mediocre sandwiches that equate to what you’d make at home. It is also not in any way a French style bakery or sandwich place. They should change the name, as it is completely misleading. Basic white bread from a supermarket, and very uninspired sandwiches. I live in Franklin Square and would very much love to have more food options here. If you have ever been to a French bakery or sandwich shop, this place is a hard pass. My wife and I have gone enough times and been resoundingly disappointed enough times, that there’s no going back. Hopefully it fails and someone else takes it over and does something authentic with the space. The French serve sandwiches on fresh croissants and baguettes, and they use sweet and savory dressings and various ingredients like cornichons…, you’d never know that here.
People only go here on their lunch break because they have no...
