" La Boulangerie & Co is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem. I found it tucked away while exploring California Avenue, and now I can't stop raving about it to my friends! Their coffee is well-brewed, and I enjoyed a savory quiche that was not only delicious but perfectly portioned. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making my visit even more pleasant. The combination of great food and happy vibes keeps me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing visit to La Boulangerie. I was excited to try their famous croissant, but it arrived slightly stale, which was unexpected based on all the rave reviews. The service felt a bit disjointed as well, there was confusion about my order. While the atmosphere was inviting, I did not get the experience I was hoping for. I might give them another try in the future, but I'll be wary. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried La Boulangerie for the first time last week. The atmosphere immediately struck me—it has a cozy feel that made me want to hang out for hours. I ordered a couple of pastries including a classic croissant and a raspberry tart. The croissant was buttery and flaky, but the tart was overly sweet for my liking. Still a solid experience overall, and I’ll definitely give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried quite a few bakeries, but La Boulangerie & Co stands out. Their croissants are light and fluffy, and they offer a great variety of other pastries. I appreciated the cozy ambiance, reminiscent of a small French cafe, but experienced a moment of confusion with my order. Overall, a charming spot worth visiting again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am enchanted by this bakery! Tried their flan for dessert and it did not disappoint at all; smooth, custardy, and perfectly balanced. My partner and I also enjoyed the healthy salads they offer. The service was friendly, albeit a little slow, but the atmosphere helped make up for it. I have to return to sample more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Boulangerie has an amazing atmosphere and serves some of the best pastries around. I was so happy when I finally got to try their desserts - the chocolate croissant was pure bliss! The staff seemed a little busy during my visit and the wait was longer than expected, but it was still a great experience overall. Feeling excited to return to sample more of their offerings soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a lovely lunch at La Boulangerie last week! The ambiance is perfect for a cozy afternoon with a friend. I really enjoyed their signature Parisian sandwich- it's the best I've had outside of France! I also tried a few pastries, and though the croissant was fantastic, the macarons were a bit sweet for my taste. Overall, it's a great spot for a relaxed meal or a quick pastry on the go.
