La Boulangerie

A Fresno staple and classic. I am not in any way a "regular" here...I don't meet friends here, have a favorite breakfast order, or know any of the employees by first name. I don't even get the chance to stop by monthly. BUT this is definitely the type of place that has regulars, and also is worth stopping by when you want a delicious breakfast quiche, some freshly baked bread, a decadent cake for a special occasion that looks as amazing as it tastes, or any variety of pastries, mostly of the sweet persuasion, but with a few savory options thrown in. I've tried many other bakeries in town (both newer and older than this place), and for quality, price, and deliciousness, I keep finding myself coming back to this location. And, the only thing on my birthday wish list each year is a cake from La Boulangerie. Some of my family's favorites include the chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, any of the croissants and the mini fruit tarts. I also love trying their different breads and dinner rolls. The cholla bread is fluffy, chewy, with just the right amount of sweet. And the breakfast quiches are full of goodness, and just the right amount of seasoning.While you will be very lucky to come here when there isn't already a long line, their ticket system of calling folks to the counter runs efficiently, and they are very good at getting you helped and out the door faster than you may expect. I am very grateful that the service has continued to be high quality, even after a change in ownership a while back. Please, La Boulangerie, keep up the good work. I am hopeful to stop by for many more birthdays, special occasions, and "just because" moments in the future.

i remember the good old days when everything La Boulangerie made looked like it had come straight from heaven. The handheld pastries all look great these days but the cakes are rather disappointing. Some are crooked, some look sloppily done, and the variety of days gone by just isn't there.For the price I paid for their smallest cake, I could have gotten a prettier, bigger cake just around the corner at Whole Foods.I'm sorry, La Bou--from here on out, I will feast on the memory of your long ago cakes.

Thanksgiving Pie The bottom center of the pies were raw. I purchased a blueberry and apple pies.

Probably my favorite bakery hands down. Anytime I need a cake this is my go-to place. They've made everything for my family from birthday cakes and baptisms, to a cake for my dad's celebration of life. The German chocolate is one of the best. The line can be crazy long especially on Saturday mornings. The mini zucchini loaves are a must try. The peach danishes are another one of my favs. It's hard to go in and choose just one item.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere, classic decor, and amazing pastries. We stopped by here for some morning coffee and pastries for the first time after eyeing the business for a while. First off, the pastries are just pretty. I almost didn't want to eat them because they're just nice to look at. And the textures are what they should be; flaky, soft, and crispy even they're supposed to be. The flavors are sharp, and everything tastes homemade. To top it off, prices are reasonable and the staff were understanding and patient with us as we figured out our order. The only negative was the coffee took a little long to be served, but it was serviceable. We definitely plan to return here for special breakfasts like Christmas, birthdays, and cheat days!

I wish I can eat their fruit tart and lemon bar every day. Prior to coming here, I tried their carrot cake from my coworker's birthday and it was sooo good. One slice was rich and filling. I knew I had to try their other pastries. I went after 4pm on a weekday and it's located in a really nice area. The inside was pretty and there's also outside seating which was where I sat enjoying the pastries. The employee was friendly and patient with me as I chose the pastries. I ordered the fruit tart, lemon bar, mini bundt cake and a peach filling pastry (I wasn't sure it was a turnover or danish?) lol but everything was good besides the bundt cake because it wasn't that moist. Overall, I would definitely go back and try their cookies then get some lemon bars and fruit tarts :)

Earlier today, I picked up my pre order cake from La Boulangerie. It's located in Fig Garden plenty of parking space available you just have to have patience with the line inside. Tip for you is to right when they open the bakery and right before they close. They offer a buy 1 get one loaf bread only 5:00pm. The staff is very helpful and eager to assist the customers. There is an option to order your cake over the phone but not order cakes online their website. They also have the bakery and bistro side and outside table seating area. When you are in the Fig Garden area you must stop by this bakery for baked goods or their delicious sandwiches.

I went in there this morning and there was one person helping at the counter and about 15 people in line. Some employees were bringing out pastries to place in the case, but they didn't even look up or help customers. Maybe that's not their job, but it was 10 in the morning and people were lined up.What happened to this place? It used to be so well run!

Beautiful, fresh, and scrumptious! This awesome business is great to visit, and is consistent with quality and flavors! Today we were lucky enough to come across a booth they had at Vineyard Farmer's Market. We purchased a loaf of sliced Raisin Walnut Bread, Portuguese Sweet Bread, and a phenomenal pastry with fresh apricots baked atop. All items were crafted with care and tasted as exquisite as ever! I loved that they had the option of buying a loaf unsliced or sliced. Shared with family, everything was enjoyed! When purchased, their service was friendly and they were super sweet and helpful. What a happy surprise that we came across them today while wandering at the Vinyard Farmer's Market. We love visiting their location at Fig Garden Village, and have for years. I will definitely purchase from them wherever they are, again and again! Impress friends and family by taking some of their delishisness to potlucks, or just for a visit! I guarantee you will put a smile on their faces! Well done!

For pastries , if you're near and it's morning or lunch. A nice place to spend good time with friends or love ones. Definitely a place to make lasting memories.
