    This is not a walk in store. It's their commercial kitchen. I came on a Saturday around 10am and there was no wait. I was looking for a baguette but was told they don't have any, they were all made for delivery but most people come here for their French rolls aka bolillo so I got 2 for $1.40. They were still warm and crispy. I took a bite and I liked the crispy exterior. It was also a fairly large roll.

    Croissant as big as my hand

    Their croissants are AMAZING and huge! I got their classic butter croissants, chocolate croissant, and their turkey, cheese, and jalapeno croissant. So buttery and flavorful! I enjoy that there is structure to it so if you want to dip it in tea/coffee you can, make a sandwich you can, etc. These croissants are not your typical fall apart/crumble everywhere on your kind of croissant. These have buttery layers with integrity to them. Their chocolate croissant has mini morsels melted throughout the inside which gives it a perfect amount of sweetness. The turkey, jalapeno, and cheese croissant is my absolute favorite!!! It has the perfect balance of butteriness, a little sweetness, and savoriness!!! I will definitely be back to try their fresh bread and for more croissants!!!

    This is the best banh mi bread around. My mother is a Vietnamese war refugee who landed in the Midwest during the late 1970's. For over 40 years, she had not tasted traditional banh mi bread. My parents fortunately relocated to the Bay Area after my sister and I established careers here. After I discovered Bui Phong, I knew I had to share this bread with my mom. Now, whenever I have a chance, I pick up baguettes and/or rolls for my mom so she can make banh mi and have it on the side of her curry at home. I can see her light up whenever I bring her this bread, and it warms my heart to be able to bring an authentic taste of Vietnam back into her life. Keep up the great work, Bui Phong Bakery!

    Come early in order to try their filled croissants- they were already out of everything by 11:30am on a Friday. There were only butter croissants and baguettes left during that time. Bui Phong is located off the beaten path, and you'll need to make sure you follow Waze. They have a counter you order at, and they package your items for you. I tried: -Croissant ($1.50, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=oSHGm9iDLOJ00H9RWTzN6A&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): GIGANTIC croissant! It looks like it could be overbaked, but it's still soft and fluffy in the middle. It wasn't as buttery or flaky as I prefer, but it was still a solid croissant for the price. Worth trying once, and great for sandwiches! -Small Baguette (2/$1, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kkKIzTf3VTp6AdvIaBcUgg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Solid baguette, and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside- Recommended! Service is no-frills and efficient. As other Yelpers have mentioned, this isn't the nicest neighborhood, and I would recommend coming during their morning/afternoon hours. Parking is also difficult to find in this area, but there were a few street parking spots available.

    The historical occupation of Vietnam by the French has given us remarkable cuisine to include bakeries such as Bui Phong. Nothing fancy except for the exceptional skill that are demonstrated in their baked items. The offerings are straightforward....bread and croissants. That about it. As a caterer, places like this are invaluable.

    This place is surprisingly basic but has excellent croissants! As you can see from the menu, they only sell a few items but do them well. The croissants are dense and huge, at least an adult face size and the flavor is just as good as Costco ones. We were here early Sunday and there was a line. The location is a bit sketchy but the service was fast so it was fine.

    Sweet dinner rolls $2.50 a bag

    TikTok made me do it. I finally made it here. If I rate this bakery on the quality of their baked items and prices it's a solid 4 stars The croissant is huge!! Nice and buttery, flaky, and soft. The sweet rolls soft and sweet. They just melt in your mouth. For a bag of sweet rolls it's only $2.50. And a croissant is $1.25 each. Unfortunately I didn't get to try any other items. They were sold out For the most part Covid guidelines are being followed in regards to social distancing. Basically there is a door that you walk up to and order from. Reasons for not rating this bakery higher: * * Customer service wasn't friendly. I get it I got there about 10 min before they were due to close and I guess I was the annoying customer that showed up right before closing (they close at 9pm). ** I saw an employee NOT wearing a mask. Big NO NO in my book especially since it is a food service venue. ** Parking is an issue. Especially when you drive a big truck. Frankly there was NO parking available and we saw other customers double park and soooo we did too ** location is very sketch at nite. Just don't go at nite. Don't do it!! You will thank me later. We saw prostitutes and other unmentionable things rt in front of the business on the corner. Will I go back ABSOLUTELY but with more time and during daylight. Hopefully next time I can try their chocolate croissant and their turkey and jalapeño croissant

There are glass cases full of breads, cakes, eclairs, tarts and other delicious looking baked goods. On the top of the cases are jars with a variety of cookies to choose from, as well as, one of my favorites, their lemon shortbread bar. The lemon shortbread bar is amazing. They stack the wedges in a large lidded glass jar, each wedge separated with a sheet of white parchment paper. I believe this is one of the hidden gems at La Farine. The shortbread crust Is tender and buttery and hold holds it shape well when you bite into it. The lemon curd is creamy with the right amount of tang, and there is a thin sweet layer of crunch on top of curd that puts this bar over the top. The balance of textures and flavors is perfect. I also highly recommend the chocolate eclairs. Each one is filled with a generous amount of piped whipped cream, a pate choux with good flavor and texture, and topped with a rich, silky layer of chocolate ganache. Overall their prices are reasonable -lemon shortbread bar $3, and chocolate eclair 3.50. I decided to give La Farine four stars because on a previous visit I had a slice of the Moka cake, and was not impressed. It is an attractive and delicious looking cake with lovely pale moka colored frosting surrounding layers of dark chocolate cake, however, the frosting lacked the coffee and chocolate flavor combo that I was looking forward to, and sadly the frosting was more waxy than creamy. That being said, I will definitely be back to search for the next delicious gems at this very lovely bakery on Piedmont Ave.

Sometimes, the pizzas are a little overcooked which causes the crust to be extra crispy and a little burnt. But it doesn't change the deliciousness of it. It doesn't matter what they put on the pizza of the day, I know it's going to be tasty. Arizmendi's pizza 100% makes me forget about meat on pizza. I have tried a couple of their baked goods, which have always been good as well. They also have soups of the day, which I surprisingly haven't tried. If you're ordering more than 1 pizza, I'd recommend calling ahead of time so that you don't have to wait a while. There's typically 2 cashiers, always a small line, but you'd be in and out under 30 minutes max. No music, just the sounds of pure hustle trying to get everyone served. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating so keep that in mind. Parking may be tricky as well as there are a lot of surrounding businesses.

Everyone has causes they care about, and many of us do our own advocacy in different ways, but not everyone wants to sign petitions while trying to cross the street or grab lunch. Today, one person became very insistent when I politely declined. He then accused me (and apparently others) of not wanting to engage because of his skin color, which was completely inappropriate and inaccurate. My decision had nothing to do with our skin .. I simply was not interested in signing anything or stopping to discuss a petition at that moment. It escalated to the point where two other women nearby also felt uncomfortable enough to respond. One said, "This is not the way to do it," and another said, "I don't even have money." It was unfortunate that his approach put people in that position. Just a heads up for anyone visiting: be prepared to be approached at the crosswalk, especially since the light can be long. On a positive note: the pizzeria itself was busy, but everyone inside was pleasant, I found a quiet corner to sit, the coffee was warm, and my $3 slice and $1.25 coffee hit the spot.
