La Boulangerie San Francisco, Alton Square, Irvine/ca

I wish I could give an accurate review of the food but I chose not to buy due to the off putting attitude of the girl at the counter. It was my first time there and I arrived just a couple of minutes before opening time at 7am. I tried the right door but it didn 't open, so I figured I 'd wait 5 minutes to give them time to set up. When I came back I again tried the right door and it was locked...since there were no other customers I initially thought I might 've misread the opening time so stepped back to check the timecard and then looked at the girl all the way across the store behind the counter. She shouted 'IT 'S OPEN! ' and gestured to come in with an annoyed expression that came across as if she were saying 'what 's your problem, dummy? ' all without moving from her position at the back. I tried the left door and sure enough it was open. I came inside and went to the pastry display and almost immediately she asked brusquely 'what do you want today? ' all without moving from her position. I thought about it for a second and walked out I don 't need pastries so much that I have to deal with the uncultured attitudes of low rent people for the privilege to pay OC prices for them. Nice way to lose a potential new customer. My advice is, invest in people that have good customer service skills.

This is a lovely cafe with a chill vibe. I think food tasted good. Breakfast was not too flavorful. Bread was good. The dessert was a bit dry. It feels like humidity has been sucked out too much. Quick service. Plenty of parking. Overall, a good place to hangout or work from cafe.

The pastries and sandwiches are amazing! I keep returning! It is worth the drive. I love it!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Terrible service. We waited for twenty minutes and then learned they forgot to put in our order. When the food came out, they didn't deliver it to the table fast enough. We ate cold food. Never coming back. The food was overpriced for the terrible quality too.

You won’t get quality of foods and taste equal to the price you pay. Chocolate hazelnut croissant was hard as rock when the staff passed it to me.The worst part is customer service. I had couple of times experiences with very bad customer services.Won’t go never again ?
