La Boulangerie de San Francisco, Cole Valley — Restaurant in San Francisco

I came here through the absolutely wonderful app "Too Good to Go".

The woman who helped me was extremely kind and gracious. I felt good energy from the entire staff. I received an incredibly generous quantity of food, all of which was absolutely sumptuous- the person I was talking to was thoughtful, asking if I was vegetarian- thank GOD I'm not and never will be, because the ham and cheese/butter/lettuce baguette sandwich she graciously gave me was truly perfect!

Overall, it was a perfect experience, and I looked at their menu and everything is very reasonably priced. That's what used to seem expensive in San Francisco but they stayed the same and everything else has skyrocketed.

I received two baguettes and shared one with my dad and his GF, who is Basque/French. She enjoyed it with thinly-sliced salted radish and buttered baguette and reported that it transported her to her childhood 🙏

I highly recommend giving this wonderful place your business! The space is airy, sunny, charming, and inviting- peak Cole Valley perfection 💕

She had the chorizo and potato empanada and is still raving on about it. Wants to go back for more soon. Please don't tell anyone about this place, we want it to stay exactly as it is, quiet and charming, lovely people and perfect in...

One of my favorite cafes in SF tucked away in Cole Valley. Worth the side trip if you are around Golden Gate or Haight! The cafe is set with a French petite atmosphere along with a boulangrie that offers delicious baked goods and great coffee!

Just a side note for people interested in history. This is one of the last La Boulanges allowed to stay open by Rigo Pascal who sold his original SF chain to Starbucks. Unfortunately SB closed all of the cafes in SF and rebranded their cafe with pink La Boulange bags for pastries. The food offerings were developed by Rigo, but has since gone away.

La Boulangerie de SF is one of the remaining cafes and happy that it is in my...
