Not sure if it's under new ownership but La Bou seems to have declined. The service has dipped. In the pre-order bakery line, eventually had to wave my hands to get anyone's attention after they helped 6-8 guests in the regular line, then they had trouble tracking down my cake because it was a "hold" instead of an "order," then the name was spelled wrong despite the person taking the order confirming three times and it being spelled correctly on the form he filled out. Shouldn't take 25 mins to pick up a cake. The lady in front of me in line dealt with the same issue. Definitely lost a step.

Please do yourself a favor and purchase all your pastry needs here! We always get the strawberry shortcake! So gooood! I’ve gotten my wedding cake, baby shower cake, Fourth of July cake, and we’ve tried different pastries as well; delicious!

Made a quick stop for a pastry and coffee. Service was quick and friendly. Nice outdoor seating for purple watching. The atmosphere is nice but needs to be modernized a bit in my opinion. Large selection of gourmet treats and breads. Parking gets very busy and tight during peak hours. I do recommend checking this place out if you want above average treats.

I custom ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday. It was an usual character but they assured me they would do the best they can and they did. The cake came out exactly like the picture I sent them. Loved it and there customer service. Our new favorite bakery. AMAZING 👏 🤩

I had high expectations when visiting this bakery, given its upscale location and the fact that it’s situated near such a popular neighborhood attraction like Christmas Tree Lane. The exterior and ambiance of the spot are undeniably charming and high-end, which naturally sets the bar high for what you expect from their offerings. Unfortunately, my experience with their strawberry shortcake fell short. The cake itself was disappointing—it seemed like a basic breaded cake with a few full strawberries placed on top and even one thrown in the center. While visually it might appeal to some, the execution didn’t match the aesthetics. Incorporating the strawberries into a jelly or compote would have created a more cohesive flavor and texture, rather than just adding whole fruits as an afterthought. It feels like the bakery leans heavily on its polished image to create the impression of premium quality, but the actual product didn’t live up to the hype. I’d recommend they focus less on appearances and more on perfecting their recipes. For the price and reputation, I expected something truly special—not just something that looked good but delivered mediocre taste and presentation. If you’re thinking about stopping by, be aware that the looks might play a trick on your expectations. Hopefully, they’ll work on elevating the quality of their cakes to match their otherwise beautiful shop.
