Hands down, the BEST bagel I've ever had. The staff? Super friendly and welcoming. Now, let's talk about that bagel. It was made fresh--I literally watched it get toasted. By the time I got to my car, the smell of sourdough, melted cheese, and jalapeño filled the air and made my mouth water. Torture, because I had to wait until I got to work to dig in. When I finally opened it up--wow. Golden, soft, with the perfect crunch. The sourdough flavor was spot on, and the jalapeño-cheese combo? Chef's kiss. I've officially found my go-to bagel spot. read more

I tried the almond croissant and a plain croissant. Both were soggy. The almonds tasted burned. The plain croissant tasted burnt. Usually most croissants have a buttery taste, this just tasted like bread, perhaps oil is used? Very disappointing. read more

Love all the options. But I don't think their bread and pastries were anything amazing. Street parking. Gets really crowded during lunch. There's lots of flies and bugs on the pastry display. Made it unappetizing. Nice friendly cashier read more

My boyfriend got the chicken pesto sandwich. Wow! Was I pleasantly surprised! The bread was slightly toasted and very light and airy. Great balance of pesto , chicken , lettuce and tomatoes. The only thing is that it took a long time to get the order. But overall I would definitely come back. read more

Stopped by quickly to grab a croissant to go. They have butter, chocolate, cheese and almond. Got a butter one toasted. For a quick bite, it's decently flaky and nice taste. There's some nice padded benches outside to enjoy your coffee and pastries as well. read more

Thank to too good to go for my very first visit to Le Boulanger! I know they are famous for their great tasting sandwiches and foods. but more so their amazing bread and bakery! I have never personally gone into the store but have tried their catering items from work and other parties. Happy to see that I actually got to see inside as well. They have a large area that you can be seated at for your perfect paired meal. For the pick up I was provided a handful of pound cakes and 1 giant loaf of white bread unsliced. Service was great and fast. There were a few people in line after it was my turn the rep provided me my bag and I was on my way. the quality taste in the food was great and so flavorful! The fresh bread was soo good as well. Cant wait for my next visit! read more

Vegetarian/vegan reviewer: I've tried the Mozzarella, tomato and pesto salad and it was pretty good. It had some glaze, crunch, tomatoes, yummy mozzarella chunks and maybe a few diced cucumbers. My only complaint was the salad had too much of spring mix and very few cherry tomatoes/cucumbers-really liked the crunch of the kroutons though. I really liked the salad combo as it tasted like healthy caprese. Came with a bread on the side, so it was a decent fill for lunch. I would recommend this salad :) I've tried their snickerdoodle cookie and wouldn't recommend as it was too sweet. Can't comment on the ambience for now as I haven't visited the place yet! :) read more

I've been a loyal customer for a good 5-Years because they have Great quality food and Excellent Customer Service!

Love this place--super fresh sandwiches and soups, salads, etc and they make everything fast, not "fast food," but freshly fast :-) Their tuna salad on nine grain bread would have been better by adding celery but it's a small thing and the quality can't be beat. Also got their bowl of lentil vegetable in a rich tomato broth, wow the flavors robust and packed a punch without heat. River prices are super fair and the ambience inside and patio terrifically conductive. Service helpful and friendly. I'd go back in a heartbeat! read more

Every time I come into Le Boulanger on Main St. I am always greeted with a smile by the workers and a positive attitude. Tons of seating inside to grab a spot for yourself sets the overall atmosphere as a fun, relaxing, most importantly a friendly environment. As someone who works close by in the area it's a very nice restaurant to visit and have lunch. I highly recommend you try out this spot for a tasty cool sandwich on a nice hot summer day. Thanks to Tang and Jason, they have made such experience possible. read more

Extremely overpriced and the food tastes outdated. It costs over 50 dollars for 2 sandwiches. The sides that come with the meals are... Get this... 1 teaspoon of coleslaw or pasta. That's all you get. Only 1 teaspoon for a side. You're literally paying 50 bucks for a teaspoon of bland coleslaw and a tiny sandwich. The bread isn't fresh anymore either. It sits out all day. My coleslaw was yellow. This place needs better management and it's not worth 50 dollars for 2 tiny sandwiches with a spoonful for a side. read more

I haven't been to this particular café in such a long time and it's perfectly on the corner in downtown Los Gatos! I was pleasantly surprised to see they had a digital menu with rotating pictures and a paper menu. I can also hold as well as a QR code this particular location is on the corner and has an abundance of seating. The server was relatively quick, and there were at least four employees in the back, wearing gloves as they made sandwiches. I appreciated how fast they worked, and how clean the cashier, kept the open dining area. There were also tables outside for people to sit in, but it was rather warm this particular day, and everybody seemed to be inside. I loved my chicken chipotle sandwich I believe it also had avocado and I was able to add spinach and lettuce to this particular hot sandwich and it was so filling and delicious. I will look for a picture because I swear I took one! Lol they're mild coffee seemed a bit too strong for me, but I have a very weak stomach for acidity and coffee. I will definitely be back again! read more

I need to leave a 2 or even 1 star to get the attention of the owners perhaps. Someone who can do something about this. I have gotten food from here twice in the past month, and both times, there is a strong taste of what seems like dishwasher soap or some cleaning chemical in the food. For a place to have a good reputation, this kind of thing should not be 1) a thing and 2) a repeated thing. Please fix the way things are cleaned to prevent toxic chemicals from ending up in your food. Specifically, this taste is coming from the bread. Multiple items, multiple occasions. read more

I tried this location thanks to Too Good To Go. It was my first time trying this app and I screwed up because I didn't pick up on my designated time. The person at the front was so nice and gracious and gave me a new surprise bag anyway even though I don't think they would get their share from the app. I was so grateful. The bag consisted of various pound cakes, marble, blueberry, and banana nut, baguettes, and dutch crunch bread. I was able to share the plentiful with friends at a beach picnic and they loved the flavors and quality of each item. The service alone had me but the taste of their breads and pastries just took it to another level. Thank you, I will be back and perhaps bypass Too Good To Go app as they were not very helpful in my situation. read more

Le Boulanger downtown Los Altos Today? Just coffee with a side of contemplation about good old pre-pandemic times, when lively crowds buzzed about in and around Le Boulanger. Boulangerie, Pâtisserie, Viennoiserie? Bakery, classic pastry shop, or breakfast Vienna pastries, the bridge between pâtisserie and French bread? Viennoiseries such as croissants and brioche are sold at Le Boulanger in the morning. We're all familiar with Le Boulanger's classic savory sandwiches, salads, soups, or sandwich with small salad or cup of soup combos. This location in my downtown Los Altos has comfy seating outside. Inviting couches and armchairs in addition to regular tables offer plenty of space for you to have your meal. Insides are open and clean, Covid precautions are taken, counters are immaculate, menu boards are clear and easy to order from, food freshly prepared. Common over, eat here, you'll thank me later!

This is not the Le Boulanger of the past. $14 for 1/2 sandwich and salad. The lettuce was old and definitely bagged. One of least appealing and least tasty salads I have experienced- I didn't eat it. The sandwich was bread , slice of meat and again lettuce that was not fresh! Absolutely overpriced and not good! read more

A very relaxed place for a good lunch or snack. Well run and efficient. I'm always amazed that they close at 4 o'clock and don't take in the evening crowd. I suspect Boulangere is on the downward slope. It has closed the number of restaurants over the last couple of years. This place in Los Altos shows a bit of wear and tear the upholstery on the chairs is tattered and worn, and the place needs a paint job on the inside I good standard American place to go to , which are becoming a rarity in Silicon Valley read more

Nice casual spot. Food used to be good for the price, but it's gone downhill. Turkey in the turkey/cranberry sandwich is what I refer to as "turkey bologna." It's some form of deli meat that probably started out as real turkey, but lost all taste in the conversion process. Container of coleslaw amounted to 3 spoonfuls. Pound cake used to be pretty good. Now they offer thicker slabs, but the cake is dry without much flavor. I won't go back. read more

Great for a quick lunch, right in downtown Los Altos and within walking distance of my office. It's becoming my new favorite place to grab like a sandwich or soup. Their clam chowder is pretty good too. The cool thing was I found out that they have a rewards program that you can earn points towards free food. Yay! Count me in! The staff is always so friendly and helpful. During COVID, they have all the social distancing guidelines and sanitizers available. read more

Iam here looking at my lunch order. Can't eat it salty soup, soggy sandwich. Can I get refunded?

Service. The four people that are here don't know what they're doing. Customers are complaining about their orders not being processed, their food order wrong, etc. I was overcharged. On Mothers Day, they had a special of buy one coffee or tea and get one free. I realized it after I had paid and told the cashier. He said the iced tea was not included. I showed him the sign posted at the door and he said his manager said it was not included. I told him that they were engaging in deceitful advertising and I would report them. He said he'd refund me the $5.00 to the credit card. We'll see if that happens. The service provided by these people is deplorable. Included in this group of four people is the store manager. I trust the owner will read this review and agree that something needs to be done. Either hire competent people who know how to run this type of food establishment, shut down the place or sell it to someone who knows how to run a business like this. The food is overpriced for what they give you. And check your orders to go because they miss including items. This place has gone downhill since Covid. It used to be great quality and the service was good. The manager was on top and managed the staff well. Now, it's turn into a complete disappointment. read more

After the Le Boulanger near my flat closed, this became the nearest location. I am not a big fan of high end sandwich joints but managed to come here at least once and it was really worth the price. Back then I was a person who eats a lot and the price of a sandwich meal here was just enough to satisfy my hunger. Who knew? Even with the expensive prices it's still very satisfying. I am guessing this location is doing well due to the fact that it's located in a very affluent community. I like how they also have very delicious drinks ranging from coffee to fresh juice. I seemed to really enjoy the turkey cranberry sandwich. It not only has great flavor but also smells good too. The bread was very smooth and very easy to chew, which is always good. Other people around me had the coffee which was good as well, didn't have that tough flavor without the sugar. read more

Great place to grab lunch, primavera salad, and a margarita sandwich are my go to. I typically order my food to go today I decided to eat in the establishment. I was a palled by how rundown inside of the restaurant is. I felt disgusting and did not want to sit on the booths. I feel since the new owners took over there hasn't been much of an upkeep. This is coming from a third generation Los Altos resident. Food great but eat outside or to go! read more

Sandwiches were tasty and hit the spot. Service was great. Wasn't as busy as I thought would be.

I used to work here and I geuinuely do adore the sandwiches and pasties! Plus, the staff is sweet and welcoming (:

Bland food, not very attractive salmon sandwich and pretty tasteless. A 15 minute way for that makes me think going twice there. Plus the smell inside is not pleasant (been several times before and each time I tell myself it would be the last because it does not smell as the nice French bakery they are trying to depict they are. Real bakeries smell like heaven, but Le boulanger just smells rancid. Anyways, being hungry and undecided at the same time that day made me fall again for it. Boring type of food/place. read more

There is something addicting about their French bread pudding here. It must be the condensed milk!! I've been to other locations and not all of them have it, so I come here just for that along with their 1/2 a sandwich and fresh fruit!! This Boulanger has adequate seatings (L shape). If you are ordering bake goods, turn to your right! If you're dining in, order front center. And... when you're order is ready, turn to your left to pick-up your order! LOL :p You can't beat their location especially being on the corner of Main St @2nd with cute outdoor seatings to boot!! There are plenty of two hour public parking, located in the middle of 2nd St. A whole row of them, all for free!! They can get packed during lunch hours from my experience, however; if you dine in here during late afternoons, you may have the whole place all to yourself! What a treat!! Staff have always been good, and they get my sandwich out in a jiffy! Until then, Cheers! ~ :p read more

I really wanted to like this boulangerie. As soon as I saw the French name (The Baker), I looked for parking and walked two blocks on a cold (53 degrees) night, very excited about discovering authentic French food at this "bakery." Unfortunately, there was nothing French on the menu. Lots of Italian and Cuban sandwiches. The only French thing was the pain au chocolat and that is not so much a boulangerie (bakery) item as it is a viennoserie (sweet bread bakery) item. When I asked for the pain au chocolat, the cashier looked at me like she had never heard of pain (bread) before (at a French bakery!). So, I said chocolate croissant and she got it. Unfortunately, the chocolate croissant was cold and hard as a rock. I'm used to soft, buttery, and warm croissant. I threw it away after a bite and it was a waste of more than three bucks. I wasn't going to eat something that wasn't amazing though. Unfortunately, when you've experienced much better, it's hard to continue with something subpar. I really wanted to like it but I couldn't. read more

Stopped in today for lunch. Had the California Fresh sandwich with no tomato. It was excellent. I literally said "whoa" after the first bite. The turkey was moist and flavorful. The rest of the medley were perfect. The dijon, the mayo, the avocado... The bread was fantastic, good crunch but not tough. This was the best sandwich I've had in a long while. read more

I have lunch at Le Boulanger about twice a week and I really like the sandwiches and salads. I generally get the California Fresh which is 630 calories for the whole sandwich. It consists of a Dutch Crunch Roll, breast of turkey, avocado, jack cheese, red onion, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and dijon. It also comes with a 1/2 pickle and a side of chips. Mmmm. My other favorite sandwich is the "Classico" which is 570 calories. It consists of Ciabatta bread, breast of chicken, provolone, roasted peppers, baby greens, tomato and vinaigrette. It also comes with a 1/2 pickle and chips. I think the food is great. The service is strange. Some days the service is amazing and sometimes it is so-so. One of my favorite things about Boulange is the rewards card they have. You can sign up online and whenever you buy a sandwich you get a point. After a few visits you get a free cookie. After that you get free lunch. Yay! read more

My party tried to get into Red Berry and found no seat. Next tried Peet's and again no seat. So reluctantly we decided to try this awful place. Latte was served in a glass mug that did not look appetizing and the taste matched the visual. Just thin tasteless latte. Coffee in coffee pots were all luke warm. After waiting 20+ minutes, hot coffee was replenished. Temperature was elevated but the taste of coffee just awful. Again thin taste and bitter. Apple and blueberry Danishes are just OK like those sold in super markets. Totally regretful visit. From now on, good place or nothing. Would have been better getting a togo from the better places. read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Their salads are great--especially the miso glazed salmon salad. I like that you can mix and match for meals. The staff works very hard to serve diners. Sitting outside is nice, but Los Altos is a real dog city...which is nice, but people don't hold their dogs close and there were many near-fights. So, dodge those and you're good. Everything is good on the menu. The pastries are delicious and huge!! read more

Boulanger is 3.5 star simply because it's consistent, predictable, fresh, and good quality food. It's a chain but there is nothing wrong with that. You've got the classic sandwiches and soups here folks with a few twists to keep it interesting. This was my first time to the Los Altos location - amongst our crowd I tried a sandwich, soup, cookie, and a salad. Tables were cleaned promptly and water napkins were easily available. read more
