The food here is always delicious and the people are consistently kind. I'm always stopping by to pick up croissants for family members and a few salads for myself and friends. This café has been serving fresh breads, pastries, and lunches for years, and it never disappoints. Honestly, the hardest part about coming here is deciding what to get because there are so many good options. Some of our favorites are the baguette with dill, the original croissants, Chinese chicken salad, Asian noodle salad, the California turkey sandwich, the American turkey sandwich, and the La Bou Club, plus a few others I'm probably forgetting. They also have wraps and paninis, not to mention cookies, scones, muffins, and so much more! Everything is fresh and flavorful. It's truly one of those places where you can't go wrong. read more

My favorite little brunch treat BLT on a croissant with avocado, always tastes great. I can walk across the street and get it. Convenient clean and courteous read more

So overpriced for poor quality food. Menu hard to read and hard to understand. Reminded me why I don't come here anymore. read more

La Bou as always, a great place to grab breakfast or lunch their croissants and coffees are fresh and good service is always quick. Employees are always polite and the restaurant is always clean. There's a nice little sitting space outside to enjoy. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Quick casual bakery-café that includes a wonderful variety of delicious pastries such as croissants, scones, apple strudel and lemon bars. They also have yummy bread such as baguettes, bagels and muffins, as well as a variety of delicious cold sandwiches, hot paninis, salads, and soups to match everyone's tastes including many vegetarian options. Great coffee and hot drinks too! As very longtime customers, we all love the spicy Thai chicken soup and tomato bisque (both of which warm your soul) and the Chinese chicken salad, Asian noodle salad and garden salad. Of course the creamy dill dressing is a favorite as well, known to be ordered with a sliced baguette for dipping! Service is always quick and the food is extremely convenient for takeout. We love La Bou and it is our "go-to" for a consistent, delicious, and healthy meal. read more

The food is very, VERY mid- The sacramento area has so much to offer, so there are a hundred better places that this! I had a basil chicken panini, and it was just disastrous looking sandwich, but regardless of the look- The chicken was very chewy, unseasoned, only one side of the sandwich had basil and was soggy, and wasn't flavorful at all. not worth the coins you shell out. 2/10 Their chicken noodle soup tasted like canned soup, but had larger chunks of chicken. Not worth the price, but was better than the sandwich. 3/10 the bread was good, but overall just very very mid. Definitely not worth the money you spend. Service: They have a specific area for online pickups and for placing an order. It was a decently busy- so the line for the non pickups had a few people in it. There was a cashier helping them out, and there was a guy helping out a customer in the online pickup. i placed an online order, so naturally i went to pick up my order in the online pickup area. I waited for the cashier to finish up with the customer in front of me. and told the guy i had an order to pick up under my name. He just ignored that and seemed almost upset or annoyed and proceeded to start talking to the customer in the non pickup line? and asked her if she was next?? The lady was chill. and i repeated my order is right behind you, and said im just picking up. To me, it just seems odd that they have an online pickup section, yet they disregard those that use it? I just feel like the cashier could have said,"Are you picking up or placing an order because the line starts back there for ordering." Turning around, picking up the order, reading the name, and handing it to me would take 30 seconds. Tops. Mind you, the parking lot was TOTALLY full and people were double parking, so i wanted to be in and out. I usually don't go too hard on the service staff, but this one was just an odd experience, and i felt dismissed. beware that parking lot gets FILLED and people were double parking. I would recommend skipping this place and visiting other local restaurants. O Cafe in fair oaks is so good, cheaper, and better customer service. Get their Quiche Lorraine! Cafe Dantorels is super good too. read more

Easily the BEST La Bou in town! The most delicious tuna melt and cranberry turkey sandwich we've had. Not to mention the soft, pillowy pastries and extra drink offerings like thai tea and chai, which elevated the meal even more. The service was amazing and we were left with smiles on our face as the employees explained each item and showed incredible warmth, kindness, and patience. It is a lovely place, with lovely people, and I'd highly recommend coming here for everything from a light snack and refreshing drink, to a full meal! read more

ZERO stars if I could, The food and the coffee is just not worth your money. This place needs actual cooks. I was pretty taken aback that something as simple as chicken noodle soup (with 2cubes of chicken and excess of onions) and avocado on toast ( a folded pierce of sandwich bread with black avocado) could be so badly made and presented in such a eye sore of a manner. My toddler thought it was a joke. This place needs actual cooks. read more

La Bou - Avocado toast? - Sandwiches Near Me - Carmichael, California

Here is my two cents on the quantity quality and presentation of my delivery.. my delivery was done with care by Uber eats driver. He did a good job locating my apartment... I love apricots and they offered an apricot croissant. I took three bites into my croissant, and there was no apricots for five dollars. I consider this a rip off. .. especially when it cost me $4.50.... yes, it was fresh, but where the hell are the apricots? I also ordered a roast beef and cheese panelll sandwich for $15. The question is where is the beef? Where is the flavor? It was too small it barely fit it in the palm of my hand. .. for $15 I could've got three big Macs or four sandwiches from Arby's.. And now we come to the salads $10 each maybe salads are labor intensive I could've gotten a salad two times at Burger King or call Junior for the same size.. The only thing I really enjoyed was the 3 1/2 slices of the fresh bread that they gave me. What plain bread no butter nothing else If you enjoy throwing your money away, then this is the place to go. The food was fresh, but not much of it. .. read more

Croissants always fresh and staff are amazing! Young man James and Drako are good about making sure I'm taken care of each visit! read more

Food is always excellent from this location. I have been going to this store for over 20 years.

Not the best customer services. Ordered over $50 of food with a salad, bread bowl soup, sandwich croissant , blended coffee& there know baguette, and ranch. They gave me at $15 croissant which was half the size of my hand. - sarcastic service and when they FORGOT my coffee the other lady employee tried to say i didn't pay for it and didn't even bother to ask for my receipt to CONFIRM i had paid. Then someone else had to step in to help- i ask for a splash of flair to be added become i forgot. Then same lady employee that sis di hadn't paid out her two cents in, when i want asking her and said no. With no explanation and Sid no you can't add to it, you have. To pay for it. - even AFTER the other employee was going to add it . The inside what dirty & the ambiance wasn't the best! Will not be coming back! If i could rate it would be 0!!! Just lost a consistent paying family of 4 read more

I ended up with a stale croissant and a stale turkey on croissant sandwich with a strange aftertaste . My stomach is now upset don't go here

We both ordered the sandwich and soup combo and they were delicious! The food was prepared incredibly fast and had a nice presentation. The service was great as well- very attentive staff! The soup was a large bowl, which was worth the price. We also ordered two iced mochas, which were very yummy! I'm glad we decided to stop in to this location! read more

Swiss cheese and ham croissant was decent. Thai tea was really good and service was ehh but it's a cute vibe!

I'd leave zero stars if I could. I ONLY come here because my grandma asks for it. They have been open two hours today and are out of turkey and cheese, croissants, ham and cheese, croissants, cheese, and spinach, croissants, chocolate, croissants.... After being told they were out of FOUR basic usual offerings, I decided to leave. OPEN TWO HOURS AND OUT IF SOOOOOOO MUCH. They clearly have zero desire to be in business. They should close. Being LAUGHED AT by the two employees was extra insulting icing on the cake. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE. There is a La Bou 8 min away on Madison and they DO have ALL of the items this location is out of. Just go there instead!! read more

I just love their turkey, avocado sandwich... Real turkey! And real good! Friendly service and so so clean... Always a pleasure to visit this lovely little deli bakery read more

Just amazing location, that always does a great job! Great pastries, coffee, breakfast lunch sandwiches. Amazingly friendly staff and atmosphere, young man at the counter with dark hair took my order and I made mistake and he fixed my order with no problem. Great management! read more

The service was great. The establishment seemed clean. The menu was plenty and had so many options...so why the three stars? I order a turkey Panini and an Egg plant PaninThe let down was the Turkey Panini..Two slices of bread one was the end piece of the loaf. The turkey seemed a bit on the light side for being 13.00..The eggplant sandwich was okay some flavor.The two soups I got were Thai soup super spicy chicken..The soup tasted a bit fishy so we tossed it the other soup was tomato soup was fine..so basically grade wise it would be a D. Which is not a good rating..Total out the door was 36 and some change which I have no issues with but when only 1 soup is good and the 1 sandwich is okay and the other is a let down...Too bad. read more

La Bou - Thai chicken soup however it tasted fishy and we tossed it..:( - Sandwiches Near Me - Carmichael, California

Frankly, I find the food mediocre. We order from this place a lot for work, and there are a few good salads and sandwiches there, but they simply don't hit the spot like a Mendocino Farms, or even Panera. I would give it 3.5 stars. read more

So, I recently discovered that I live in a geographical Triangle of La Bou. (Right in the center, equidistant to *three* locations. We should totally list that on our a real estate posting should we ever want to sell someday! Major selling point!) The old lady chicken salad sandwich was one of my go-to protein fixes and cravings during my recent pregnancy. It's not too mayonnaisey, has the right fruit to chicken ratio, and is seasoned well. Get it on the walnut bread and ask for some hot sauce. Yas! Also, their dill sauce. Chef's kiss! I could drink gallons. Finally, their cranberry almond scones. So, so good! read more

The Carmichael location is the best out of all the locations in Sacramento. You can taste a difference in this location's food over all of them. The sandwiches and soups are all really fresh and amazing. The Dill dressing is to die for. They have a seasoned staff which know their customers. Everyone is always friendly, and food is always good. Go early if you want the pastries, they go quickly. :) I would recommend eating here at the Carmichael location. read more

Who doesn't love La Bou? I mean that dill dressing. I would dip anything in there... stopped in for lunch after the gym and ordered half soup (spicy thai chicken) and half sandwich (Turkey cranberry always) and my son got a half ham and cheese. They accidentally charged us for a whole sandwich which I realized once it came out. The manager gave us the difference back and said there was a new employee. Food was great as it consistently is here. One star off for bathrooms needing attention and over charging us. I alerted staff about the bathrooms and they did nothing. Towel dispenser empty and zero way to dry hands. Other customers went in after me with same issue. read more

La Bou - Combo soup and sandwich Spicy Thai chicken soup and Turkey cranberry sando - Sandwiches Near Me - Carmichael, California

Received the worst customer service today from laBou, Ben and his manager Lee. Ben was obnoxious and rude. I received the sandwiches made incorrectly but was already back at work. I was told I could come back if I wanted to. How nice. NOT. Lee was a windbag that kept interrupting me to hear her self talk. I have always ordered from here for our office luncheons. Meetings. Etc, No more. And I will spread the word that Lee doesn't care about customers and lets her employees treat them like crap Taylor was the only employee that I spoke to that was professional and wanted to fix the problem. Taylor if you're ever looking for a job. Contact me. read more

I miss having a La Bou by us and this one is different than the one that used to be in Rancho. The one in Rancho had all their salads in the vase for you to pick and choose and this one is more like a typical fast restaurant. I got the house salad huge portion, with bread and really nice little location! read more

I use to love going here to get the hot ham and cheese croissants. But the last 2 times that I have went the ham tastes like it has gone bad and I got sick. Very disappointing. I wont be going back. read more

This is the dungeon of all La Bous, very trimmed menu down to very basics. Even coffee, there's only one container burning away with old stale burnt coffee. They don't make spinach croissants, muffins are a botch job at the dough, whoever is the baker,if there's one which I doubt. I now go to the one on Madison or Florin. read more

Stopped by for a bite and was amazed at how fresh and delicious the sandwich was!!! I've been to a few of these and this is by far the best!!! Keep up the good work. read more

Bad customer service. Ordered food and when I picked it up I asked/ confirmed if my food was in the bag. The employee said yes. My food was missing half the item it comes with, understandable, things happen. I can not go back due to the fact I work. I was told I can not get a refund. So I called corporate to ask them for a refund and I was very rudely hung up on. Very disappointing, I just wanted my dill dip, or my money back because I paid for it and ever received it. Not going to take time off of work to go pick up some dip... read more

I don't recommend the Whole sized House salad for almost $12. You get a flimsy, cheap sliced tomatoes and old guacamole paste from a another store. Idk where the other photos came from of this sale maybe it was a staged photo and they really don't make these salads for everyone. I never got fresher sliced avocado and bigger tomatoes slices it's a total Jip! Look at the photo of the avocado paste and little sliced veggies they gave me. read more

We ordered a sandwich and a salad, there was no cheese and tomato on the sandwich like there was supposed to be and the salad was only lettuce and chicken. So many ingredients for missing from the description it was just horrible and very expensive. read more

I had coffee and a raspberry scone (that kind of scone is rare). Both were good. Service was friendly. It was a bit confusing at their condiments bar to add creamer and sweetener but I eventually figured it out. I plan to go again. read more

Always fresh. Large portions. Fast service. Lots of healthy choices. I would highly encourage people to come here. We have so few local businesses that serve reasonably priced freshly made salads, soups, & sandwiches. We need to support them. They deserve our support! read more
