I love mocha's the size of my head

by MelSF , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

I love the La Boulange for a quick breakfast. They have tastey croissant breakfast sandwiches and HUGE large mochas that they serve in bowls (see one of my profile pictures). This place gets pretty crowded, so finding a table can be difficult. Ordering to go is always a great option!

  • Pros: Good breakfast sandwiches, huge mochas
  • Cons: Long line

lavander macaron is waaay too sweet!

by partaaaay at Citysearch

Besides the parking (quelle horreur!) this place serves food that is quelle yum all the way. I like how the food is cheap, but still very good. The smidgeons of salad here and there to help unclog a tiny portion of your artery helps too since good heaves, the food is just so delectably good!!! My favorite are their savory tarts and crocques. The french onion soup is just so-so, no biggie, btw. And the lavander macaron is waaay too sweet!

coffee as it should be served...in bowls

by framboise1 at Citysearch

I was thrilled to receive my cafe au lait in a bowl; it reminded me of time spent in France. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The staff were very personable. The service table was well stocked and offered butter, apricot (my fave) and raspberry jam, as well as a large jar of Nutella. The Tropezienne was wonderful and I have confidence that all other pastries they may offer in the future will be just as delightful. French onion was the daily special soup offering; it was pretty good and the portion generous at a mere $5/bowl. Seating was comfortable but the vacated tables could have been bussed more diligently (promptly); many customers (including myself) pushed plates/cups/saucers/glasses to adjacent un-bussed tables in order to dine. Other than my previous remark, I recommend this cafe; the experience was positive overall!

  • Pros: Traditional cafe atmosphere
  • Cons: More attention needed in table clearing/bussing
