So good. Are you kidding me. Too good. Buy a rustic batard here then go buy one at Safeway or Berkeley Bowl or Whole Foods and compare. It’s just so much better here.

I have been in love with this place since many years ago. My friends got a fruit tart as a "cake" for my birthday. I usually oppose the idea of substituting cakes with tarts, but I have to admit that it is legit in this case. Why? Because it is so good! The custard base and the fruit are fresh and light, yet fill you up with taste. Then a week ago, I got a chance to try a fruit stone tart (a plum maybe?). It is also amazing with the almond paste base. The blueberry coffee cake is also delicious packed with walnuts, blueberry, and brown sugar on top. Definitely a place I will come again for pastries!

They're known for their fruit tarts and they absolutely live up to the hype - light, creamt custard and fresh, juicy fruits. The red velvet cupcake is a ljttle disappointing: too dry and too bright artificial red. I also got the sour batard when I came back and it was great, nice tangy flavor and chewy crust. They do use white flour so the interior is more soft and less chewy, so that comes down to personal preference.

We were walking on College Avenue near Alcatraz Avenue when the aroma coming from La Farine Boulangerie Patisserie carried u inside their bakery. We were immediately impressed by their delicious looking eclairs which were also very reasonably priced and after eating one, we became huge fans. They also have beautiful breads with delicious crusts! While we are based in Manhattan, we are always exploring new bakeries! And we live our latest discovery!

Almond/Frangipane croissant success! It was a different style than I’m used to. The almond filling was rolled in to the lamination, the edges were slightly caramelized, and the dough moist. What I tried and would buy again: Frangipane croissant Raspberry croissant Orange current scone Almond caramel tart Lemon shortbread Service was excellent and friendly. Free 60 min parking in the Safeway parking lot across the street, or paid street parking.
