La Boulange is quite possibly my favorite dining spot at the moment. These days, I'm always trying to find a new coffee shop to write at, a secret nook to do study in, a quiet place to meet friends on rainy afternoons...preferably with awesome snacks to nosh on while we're at it.
The great thing about La Boulange is this: it works for pretty much everything. Need to do work? There are plenty of single tables & counter spaces that let you get down to business. Study sesh? One of their many caffeinated drinks will perk you up and help you tackle that massive textbook. First date? It's kind of romantic to sip hot chocolate with soft French music playing in the background, no?
The point is, there's something for everyone. Don't you love how cliche that sounds? But it's true! Besides versatility, you can count on great food and a friendly staff. The cafe serves open face sandwiches, chopped salads, and brunch all day (my favorite :) You can also expect an array of decadent pastries, fruit tarts and colorful macarons, which just so happen to be gluten free (I also noticed a flourless chocolate cake on my last visit)! Safe gf meal options include salads, omelet / egg dishes, and sandwiches sans bread. I usually order mine in a lettuce wrap - everyone has been very accommodating so far. Menu items do vary based on location (They're scattered around San Francisco and larger Bay Area!) and specials change seasonally.
The food in the top picture? A creamy chicken & mushroom sandwich with sweet potato fries...because whenever they're available, I generally can't resist ;)
Have you ever been to La Boulange? What's your favorite dish?
