Boudin SF in Sunnyvale is, as Yelp describes 3 stars as, A-OK Stopped by after taking the Bay Area Ski Bus from Sports Authority, and being in the cold, it was nice to have some warm clam chowder in our bellies. Ordered the salad and bread bowl combo, which is actually a ton of food - well, a lot of bread and salad, and not as much soup. Sort of wish that there was a bit more of that, as well as crackers. I asked and they didn't have any crackers...what's up with that?... read more

Just stopped by for a late lunch and what a nice surprise. My crab Louie was so fresh with plenty of crab and my husband really enjoyed his crab melt. The service from the manager Hans and our server Lynna was amazing. read more

I always try and give this location another chance because I love Boudin food but this will be the last I think. Went in and ordered , waited a while until the cook saw me and yelled for a person to come out. Pictured is the veggie breakfast burrito which sounded awesome on the menu . But what I got was broccoli and and little eggs maybe alittle bit of spinach ? Missing potatoes and cheese which would have made this actually good. Go to the one in Sunnyvale they are way more consistent read more

This review is for Lynna who works here and treats me with the most kindness and professionalism one has got. She is very hardworking as well. Lynna is the reason why my mom and I go there for lunch more regularly than we need to lol. On a side note, the tuna melt is consistently good. Give it a try if you don't know what to order. read more

Lynna asked us about our day and I told her we just got married and she gave us a sourdough teddy bear! She's very nice, thanks Lynna! P.s. I reccomend the turkey avocado sandwich with pesto mayo. read more

Service was awesome! I def enjoyed the new layout as well! I got my meal for free before the grand opening and ordered the havarti turkey sandwich, clam chowder, a loaf of sourdough bread, a blueberry scone, and of course my drink! The seating can be changed up a little bit because there seems to be traffic in the dining area and people are a bit squished but other than that, everything is fine! The service is what makes this place rock! I enjoy their enthusiasm as well as their customer service towards the people. They make sure your'e doing ok and they even ask if there's any questions for them! The food was up to par like it always is, and the timing from order to receiving my meal was just right. I can tell right off the bat, that this place will be a new hot spot especially the possibility of knocking off panera across the street. Now they are both completely different chains but Boudin has the obvious lift towards the food section. The baguette burger was very unique and one of a kind for sure. Iv'e never seen one before but I did wish they were a bit bigger. They kind of looked like big slider if you will. Anyway, I'm happy this place was built and I'm happy that the food is great as well as the service. Thanks Boudin SF read more

Ambiance: Came here around 3pm and it wasn't crowded at all. Setting was very cute and quaint. Very comfortable and relaxing, catch-up-with people or chill-by-myself-reading-a-book kind of atmosphere. It's like panera, but less study-like! :) Place is clean. Walls feel warm. It's great! Service: Very friendly cashier! FAST service. Scoop the soup into a bread bowl and BOOM done. Food: DELICIOUS! I had the Monday soup of the day which was vegetarian chili and it was superrrrr yummmmay with sourdough. :) the bf has clam chowdaaaa and it was good too! Price: $~13 for two! Not bad for a very filling meal. Tip: - Check out soups of the day! - Every bowl of soup comes with bread so if you opt out of bread bowl, u still get bread! Woo! :) Conclusion: This place is great for a meal anytime of the day! Atmosphere is great, workers are friendly, food tastes delicious, and the price is right. I would come here again anytime. :) read more

Got take out from this location today and it was the first time I've ever eaten here. I got tomato soup in a bread bowl and it was absolutely to die for. The bread was moist land very soft and the soup had the perfect amount of kick to it. It was one of the best tomato soups I've ever had. Will definitely be eating here again! read more

Excellent service! Lynna is wonderful! She welcomed us and helped us pick the perfect meal.

Today was the second time in a row that I tried to order a clam chowder bread bowl and they were out of bread bowls. It was 4:30pm on a Saturday - not even dinner time yet. Still got my husband his French dip but I was able to get a really good clam chowder bread bowl somewhere else. read more

Good bread! After eating nothing but Thai and Indian food (way too spicy for my palate) for four entire days, I was sick of the word "curry." I wanted to make a toasted sourdough baguette sandwich. So, I came here to buy the bread. Their baguette hit the spot! read more

Bad service, not fresh products, not a fun experience... While the San Francisco Boudin is always great and fresh, this one is not quite the same and the service was really bad read more

Consistently solid efforts from this chain sandwich/bread shop. I've been to a handful of Boudins over the years, and this one is definitely among the best locations. Ordering in person and online is quick and easy. I appreciate their COVID-times ordering setup (walk in one door, wait in an open area, and exit through the other door). I've had mostly cobb salads from this location. Their bread is always good, but I did notice that a couple of times they had pre-sliced baguettes ready for orders as opposed to slicing after it's ordered. Their soup is definitely prepared and served better (read: hot) than the sister Cupertino location, where the soup is always lukewarm at best. read more

I'm very upset, my co worker and I ordered 3 sandwiches and a clam chowder soup. Let me start by saying the clam chowder soup was so watery I couldn't believe it, it's like someone poured water into the soup to make it look like it had more, clam chowder is suppose to be thicker and unfortunately my soup was so watery I couldn't eat it. Second the breads were so hard we couldn't bite into our sandwiches they were so burnt and very unsatisfying to eat. I couldn't believe the half fast job we got on our food. We've never had a issue with boudin they always been great. I'm not sure if it was this specific location but after this I doubt I would be coming back. read more

You guys have to come here to this location. The food is really good and the bread is really fresh, the tuna salad sandwich is out of this world! But what made my night wasn't just the good food, it's Lynna! She was just delightful and so funny. I never seen customer service like hers before. She was just so kind and lovely. She quizzed us and gave us complimentary bread for getting the answer right. Not only that she made us little birthday cakes when she found out that me and my two friends had birthdays today. And when we opened the "cakes" there were cookies inside!! She made my birthday just amazing. (Lynna's the amazing waitress in the third photo giving a peace sign. Look for her for an amazing experience.) read more

Went to the SF Warf location after seeing all the raves on FB. Crab looked delicious. Very disappointed . Flavor was great. However, the crab was not hot as expected. Advised the cashier/staff and they offered to reheat. I was not interested. (Especially during ( COVID ) and food handling . Portion did not appear as half a crab. Served with 1 sourdough roll . For the price thought there should have been another side. read more

Fast and easy pickup! Used Grubhub for pickup (no extra fee). Staff wore masks and gloves. Ordered a oval sourdough loaf, but the bread came a little over baked. read more

Stopped by the Cupertino store and they didn't have the size bread I needed. Happily they gave me the phone number of the Sunnyvale store and I was able to determine that they had what I needed, and I also ordered a sandwich, too!! Sandwich was their turkey and havarti on sourdough roll, so yummy!! The bread was not as good as I remembered it being after years of getting it here. It was dry and really dense. I was cutting it up for use in spinach dip so I was hoping it would be sturdy but soft. I used a large loaf for cutting up, leftovers we toasted and it was good. I put the dip in the small rounds they use for soup. YAY!! I will definitely come here again, even though it is a bit of a detour from 280 on my way north. I programmed their phone number into my phone for next time!! read more

Lynna provided the best service and the food was just wonderful! I had butternut squash soup and it was really delicious!!

I love this location and it's one of my favorites the staff is friendly and helpful. I'm also part of there rewards program as well

I ordered a pick up last night. The order was missing a soup ($3.99) and dressing for a salad ($11.99). Completely messed up dinner. If Boudin can't make sure items are as ordered they shouldn't do online orders. I suggest better quality control read more

Time for another one of those history lessons: For years, this building was occupied by a Baja Fresh. I can't remember ever going there. Prior to that, it was occupied for even more years by a Burger King. I remember going there lots of times as a kid. Good times. Now that the history lesson is over, onto the actual review: Boudin, for those who don't know, specializes in selling sourdough bread as well as serving food centered around sourdough bread. You can get breakfast, lunch and dinner. On my most recent visit, I settled for a simple grilled cheese sandwich. Facts: * Order and pay at the front. * Seat yourself and your food will be brought to you once it's ready. * Sometimes, on special occasions/holidays, they give out free bread to each group. My grilled cheese came with some bagged chips and was tasty (although maybe a little too greasy for my taste). I washed everything down with a simple bottled water. There is outdoor seating in addition to their indoor seating. IMO, the view outside with the hills in the background is actually really nice and pleasant. On a warm evening, eating outside is a must. The shopping center that this Boudin is in is really old and could use a renovation, but it's nice to see Boudin at least get a steady amount of business. 4 stars read more

This is the second time I've come in and both times I ordered a chowder bread bowl and they didn't tell me that there wasn't a bread bowl until after I ordered and paid. The bread on the chicken pesto bread was so hard! How do people chew this?? Not only that, their customer service is so rude. read more

I ordered lunch for pick up yesterday and was accidentally given the wrong lunch, same first name, same time of pick up, so understandable. I didn't realize it until I was back at work. Carlos and Selene more than made it up for me and I got my salad later in the day, in the meantime, my co-worker and I shared the wrong lunch. :-) I guess I had better double check the order next time before pulling out of the lot! read more

I came here for brunch with my friends. I am glad they have a menu that goes well with my healthy lifestyle. My dish was only 330 calories packed with fresh vegetables and protein. Only thing I would request differently next time is to ask them to warm up the bread to keep it soft instead of toasting it to make it hard. But that's just my personal preference. read more

Rude staff here- completely discouraging experience. I came in and was looking at some salads to order and before placing my order, I asked the woman at the register, CJ, if they had any gluten free pastry options since they look pretty good in the glass case. She rudely said she didn't know, and as I was starting to respond, she interrupted to say that the manager doesn't know either. This was all very harshly said and unnecessary to answer a simple question. I wasn't sure I heard her correctly, so I asked if she meant neither her nor the manager even knows if they have anything gluten free? She said no and was clearly looking to move to the next person (there was one person behind me, not like it was a long line or busy time of day). I was so taken aback and she didn't even bother to ask what I was ordering, so I decided to go to the place next door instead. Super unprofessional attitude- will not be returning to this restaurant at all. read more

I'm giving two stars ONLY for the Rustic Tomato Soup. It was pretty good. However the grilled cheese & bacon, the brownie, and lemon bar were not good. The bread for the sandwich and the roll for the soup, were the texture and anti-softness of an exotic extraterrestrial material. If I had carbide-tipped teeth, I might have enjoyed it. The brownie was just a blarb of chocolate sacrilege. Lemon bar, fuhgettaboutit. The grilled cheese was an abomination against all that's holy. read more

The manager and team were so kind and attentive. Food was delicious as always. I will definitely be returning.

This is a really nice spot to have a meal that doesn't leave you feeling too heavy. I ordered a combo of grilled brie with apples and fig jam with clam chowder and a small salad. I really enjoyed everything. The grilled brie was so creamy, the apples add a nice crunch and the fig jam was the perfect touch on the sandwich. The clam chowder is good as always here, and I enjoyed the salad as well. I would come here again for sure for their great lunch deals! read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. DO NOT GO HERE! Both my wife and I were feeling under the weather so we decided to order online. Once we completed our order it said the food would be ready in 20 minutes. Fine, no problem. We waited 20 minutes before heading out to pick up the food. We walked up to the order pickup and inquired about our order. The employee said they hadn't received it. Weird, as we go a confirmation email. They went into the back and came out and magically they had our order now, but it would be a ten minutes wait. When we asked why as we had already waited 20 minutes, they had no excuse for us. Except now the wait was going to be 20 minutes. Wait what? How in the span of two minutes had the wait gone up? When we said to just cancel it and refund us, the employee said they don't do refunds. We would have to wait. Now, why would I want to wait 20 minutes on top of the 20 minutes we already waited? That makes 0 sense. We repeated we would like our money back and asked to see the manager. When the manager Olivia came out she all but threw some gift cards at us and said we don't do refunds and we would have to wait. And then when we stated again, we do not want to wait, the cook, Augustine, stuck his head out from the back and snarked at us what our problem was and why couldn't we wait. Excuse me? At this point we were fed up. We went for comfort food and left with a nasty taste in our mouths. The cherry on top was when I tried to call to get the people's names. We were furious and wanted to make a complaint. When the manager picked up I asked for her name and she hung up without a word. I called back and it rang despite me having just been hung up on. Luckily eventually Paula picked up. I asked her for names and she kindly gave them to me (good luck, Paula. You seem nice). I called corporate and filed a complaint. They said I would get a call from the area manager the next day, which never happened, and a refund within 3-5 days and tomorrow is the fifth day so I won't hold my breath. Don't go here. The service is terrible. I have never in my life been to a restaurant and been treated so horrendously. They might as well have spit in my face. read more

We love Boudin in Sunnyvale! Always great service and delicious food. On our recent visit this past Sunday, Lynna checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal and if we needed anything. She even surprised us with a free fish shaped sourdough bread loaf. Our little girl just loved it! Made our visit that much more special. Thank you!! read more

Food quality had declined considerably. The friendliness of the staff is great. But the food is no longer made with care. Today, I ordered a Brie w/apples hot sandwich. Sadly, the sandwich was cold and greasy, not freshly made. I tell myself with many recent disappointing orders that I won't be back. This was it for me. read more

I have to go out of my way now that the Cupertino location is closed for my work lunches.. sucks but that Cupertino location was die but at least good. This place messes up your order all the time! Placed 4 orders over a expand of a few weeks and all customization which are allowed on the app are compulsory ignored... missing bread.. missing soup come on at this rate it light shut down too read more

I really like this location and in particular, I love the bread and the soba noodle salad! All of the employees are really nice. Lynna was especially sweet to get me the Asian salad dressing after I tried and did not like the ginger wasabi dressing (which is creamy rather than vinegar based). She's really funny too and didn't mind all my husband's kooky jokes. read more

Went here for dinner tonight. Shauna helped us at the register and also delivered our food. She was very friendly and helpful. On the way out, she thanked us for coming in and wished us a good night. I asked her for her name because her service was exceptional. My family and I often don't like coming to this location because there is an Asian manager that is usually here that we dislike. She is very abrupt with the customers and the way she talks to her staff is downright horrible. Shauna was the complete opposite, which we appreciate. Food was very great and it was clean. read more

Great breads! Yummy clam chowder. Favorite thing on the menu is the individual pizza, their pizza sauce is so yummy and I believe they use sourdough for the pizza dough. Tried the lemon bar, it was okay but nothing like homemade. read more

Nice service, good atmosphere and clean. Had a great tuna melt and nice cesar salad and the cookie was great. Will definitely be back.

Love the sandwiches and free monthly bread! Been going to Prospect location and people friendly.

Spoke to a manager who made things right and I will return for another visit with my granddaughter. read more
