A hand-written chalkboard near the entryway marks the daily specials: something like French onion soup and homemade granola with yogurt. Inside, among rustic wooden tables, diners can choose from open-faced sandwiches made to order, brunch items or baked goods like chocolate croissants, vegetable quiches and fruit tarts from a large glass display case. In addition to edibles, the very traditional French boulangerie serves up coffee and espresso drinks as well.Key Points
- French Pastries & Desserts
- Organic coffee & espresso
- Brunch, sandwiches & salads
The Inside Scoop
- Know Before You Go - Take a little extra time on a sleepy Sunday morning and order your latte "for here"--it'll arrive in an adorable French gingham-printed bowl.
- The Extras - The free condiment bar here goes way beyond cream, sugar and the occasional salt packet: look for jars brimming with jam, butter, Nutella, pickles, olives and more.

The La Boulange is a wonderful little slice of haven. The location is easy to get to and very charming and inviting. You will want to stay and sip coffee while eating a chocolate dipped croissant.

This place has a prime corner location in Hayes Valley. It really adds to the neighborhood to have a cool Parisian style cafe.
I really like their open-faced sandwiches, especially with greens - it's a pretty close experience to actually getting say a Croque Madame in Paris.
It always seems to be pretty busy but never too much so.
