I'm writing this in hopes that corporate Boudin takes a look at the quality of their food and really makes some improvements. The clam chowder was really off tasting and fishy. The bread wasn't that great. The sandwiches are mediocre. The pizza is really the worst thing on the menu. The cheese is not melted and the toppings are just terrible. The only thing that I can say is pretty great are the fountain drinks. How sad is that? Please accept the hard feedback and make some improvements. read more

Finally heard from Susie R. Well, actually Arturo, a very pleasant manager at this location. I explained my experience and Arturo was very understanding and apologetic. To be fair, maybe I just didn't understand. Arturo told me to come in again and to ask for him to make things right. 5 stars for responding to my Yelp review! read more

Ordered Mac and cheese which took 20 minutes to get. The Mac and cheese was cold so we asked them to heat it up. They brought the dish back 15 min later still completely cold in a different bowl. We didn't want to wait again so we left hungry. read more

Very prompt service, the food was well prepared and delivered quickly. A staff person checked in with me to assure that I was satisfied. Lunch was delicious and filling. Clean Bathrooms, nice vibe. Overall, a great road-trip lunch stop. Conveniently located off the freeway. read more

Came here to get a freshly made clam chowder bowl (freshly made sourdough that morning). Cost about $13. Staff was very friendly and orders were taken and made fast. There's an option for indoor dining and outdoor dining. For indoor you now have to show proof of vaccination and photo ID. One less star because the Boudin tour didn't open until 12 noon. Pricing here is about expected for a touristy place. Their bakers displayed an alligator and turtle for me to take photos. Plus they have Boudin souvenirs for purchase as well. Will definitely come back again when I'm back in SF. read more

I came here as I wanted clam chowder in San Francisco. I live in LA and we have this bread company here also. The combination of the two was the best. The clam chowder had great flavor. The best part of the soup is eating in a bread bowl. This place also sells sourdough bread in shape of animals for you to purchase. I recommend this place or any of there San Francisco locations for great bread and soup read more

Boudin - Clam Chowder in bread bowl - Bakeries Near Me - Corte Madera, California

I feel bad because these workers are overworked but this place needs to hire more people, it should not take me 20 mins for a salad. But again I hope they hire more people to help out. This isn't the team's fault that they seem understaffed. read more

Yes and again yes! The clam chowder is San Francisco. The sourdough bread omg they have old ingredient that they add to every batch to make sure it's sour fresh and good! Take the kids the kids menu is on point the pizza nice size and delicious. They get a cookie and drink plus bread! Good pick read more

Yes it's going to be busy, yes it's a tourist place, yes they have things you can find at the airport. Your going to have the experience and be at a Boudin. stop bashing on things like they are the best it's should be the best all the time. Remember People are human and sometimes it might hav whist been a bad day. Today was not one of those days. We ordered food with our group of 4 from the pizza out back, the counter up front and the bread side counter. We got a smorgasbord of goodness. the pulled pork sandwich was great i was happy it was a vinegar coleslaw. I enjoyed it and wanted more. then we had a margarita pizza it was good light and easy. perfect for the person who says i am not that hungry then eats all your fries! also got the dungeons crab sandwich. this was great i love and miss the taste of Dungeons crab but for those who have not experienced it, know it's a fishy taste. not bad but i know some people don't like that. We got a sourdough turtle that was gone almost prior to hitting our table. They are great as a pocket snack. Also come in bears and other cute shapes. The lines can move fast and sometimes slow remember there are language barriers and tourist who can't decide. people take your take and enjoy trust me they have a lot to look at. Price guess what you are going to pay the same almost anywhere. it's worth going to the large hub here to see it all in action. make sure you check out the window outside that shows the workers working. it's a blast and it is a free show. your also near an arcade, and other great attractions so don't come just for some amazing bread check out the area as well. There is not a trip i have been on thur SF that didn't involve a stop here. Thank you for the great service and memorable bread. Also just for those that care i live in Alaska and we have sourdough it has never tasted like it does here. the sea salt air or fog of the bay adds some kind of magic that i truly miss in my sourdough. read more

slowest service ever and moves in slo motion do not come if u need food within 20 minutes

Hamburger used to be juicy, meaty and delicious. Today, mostly filler mixed with meat and hint of cardboard. Asked for sourdough roll, arrived in bun. Wife asked for cup of soup, got charged for bread bowl. Bathroom has large sign requiring employees to wash hands with soap, but soap dispenser was empty. How low it has fallen. Skip this one if you are looking for edible food. read more

(+) Butternut squash soup Boudin SF for those of you who don't know, is known for their San Francisco sourdough bread. The consistency and freshness of the bread is enough to base their whole menu off it. Boudin offers a variety of soups with the bread bowl, sandwiches, salads, pizzas, and sweet treats to finish off the meal. This location is within the village at Corte Madera. It's nice to have a Boudin restaurant outside of the City. Food: I ordered the beef chili in the bread bowl. It is garnished off with chopped onions and cheddar cheese. The beef chili itself was good but not exceptional. I could pass on this next time because of the many other options, but it was comforting. It was lacking in flavor, but I could skip it for next time. The butternut squash soup was excellent. The consistency and texture of the soup was spot on. It had more of a milkier consistency compared to other places. Service: The service is excellent. There are servers who circulate the restaurant who will help you with your needs. The food comes out in a decent amount of time. Ambiance: The restaurant is kept clean. The floors are swept and it is kept at a comfortable temperature. I would recommend dining here for any event. Overall, I love Boudin SF, and having the opportunity to enjoy it without having to go into the city is a nice treat. As a resident of SoCal, Boudin is always on the top of my list of places to eat when I make my trips up to the Bay. read more

Super super slow service. Our order was wrong and it took a long time again to get a replacement. We stopped here for a bathroom break and to plug the car in at the Tesla supercharger, expecting a quick ~15% charge at their slower "city" superchargers. The kids said they were hungry so we walked over for a quick bite. That didn't work out so well--we were there for so long that the car was completely charged by the time we got back to it. The food was pretty tasty typical Boudin fare. I won't give them less than 4 stars because everyone is affected by Covid, and it's likely they were short staffed because of it. My company is certainly going through personnel issues because of the pandemic. read more

Horrible customer service and bland food. My aunts and I decided to have lunch here for the first time instead of Cheesecake Factory which was a huge mistake. We walked in and as we were looking at the menu and trying to decide for the first time (mind you, no one behind us), the cashier is rushing to take our order. This employee seemed like he did not want to be there or talk to anyone at all, very unfriendly. I ordered an impossible burger with NO cheese and NO mayo. My aunt ordered a chowder bread bowl. We open our order, my burger had both cheese and mayo on it, and the bread bowl was missing. We had to dreadfully approach the employee who didn't seem like he wanted to be there. No apology, eye contact, and barely even an acknowledgment of the error. Thankfully we finally got our order but we would've been better off getting Mcdonald's. This was our first and last experience at this place. Do not recommend. read more

I love sourdough bread so I had to give it a try. I ordered the Pick 2 and got the Asian Salad with 1/2 a Jalapeño Cheddar Patty Melt. The salad is a meal in its self. The Patty Melt came out as a grilled cheese with no patty. I let the woman know that my sandwich was incomplete and she made me a fresh "whole" patty melt ! The food was very good, but that bread !!! So good read more

You can't beat this San Francisco staple. The one by Fisherman's Wharf is quite the experience. The service is solid and the food is great. Lots of options, the soup and seafood in a bread bowl is great. And just getting the main staple item of sourdough is a can't miss. Cause it's in everything, so you really can't miss it. read more

This is the best and only place to get San Francisco French Bread. Hands down! Freshly made daily. I remember years ago when you could go over to the City at night and watch them make bread. Sometimes the Baker would come out and give you some, freshly made. Bread bowl soups is not only for cold weather, sometimes they are just because soups. Instagram @planefoodies read more

I was reminded today of why I do not frequent this eatery. This particular location has very little to offer when it comes to an eating experience. After ordering one of their new jalapeños cheddar pulled pork sandwiches, I was served just a jalapeño melted cheese sandwich. After bringing it up to the servers attention, I could hear the laughter and physically see the cooks in the back literally throw cold pulled pork and just stuff it into the sandwich and given back to me. The meat was obviously old and cold. As I left the establishment you can hear the staff laughing as they literally watched me walk out the door. All because I requested to be served the meal I ordered and paid for. The second star rating was merely because the chocolate cookies my children got were decent. Do not recommend. read more

I don't really like going to chains and I'm not a big fan of sourdough. I was hungry though, and this was a fast lunch option. I went with the steak salad. I liked all the ingredients in my salad, but it was heavy with dressing. I didn't finish the salad and added more greens to it when I got home. The clam chowder was nice though! It seems to be a popular lunch spot, because there was a constant stream of diners. read more

Went to the kiosk to self order. Ordered chicken salad sandwich with side salad. Added 2 baguettes to order. Computer stopped me saying the baguettes are unavailable. We asked the young man (dark hair, skinny, maybe 5'5") for help. He said he'd check on his computer. Came back and said he couldn't help. So my mom had to go into the normal line. Was expecting him to help her right away at cash register. He did not. Instead my mom had to wait. I was expecting " oh let me help you. No need to wait in line." But no. Next I waited in line for a simple sandwich, or at least what I thought would be simple. Waited almost 30 min for sandwich to be made. A server (young male, glasses like Harry Potter, light brown long hair) made a few jokes trying to be funny. Not the wisest to make Jokes to a hungry person who has been waiting considerably long for their order. After awhile i asked him to check. He brought my order to me and made another corny joke. I was very annoyed by that point. Should've just went for a refund. This place has gone downhill. Also they didn't give much filling in my sandwich. Also they were stingy om butter for my 2 baguettes. They didn't want to give me that much. read more

I was out shopping in Corte Madera and stopped at Boudin. I am always disappointed with their salad the portions aren't good and they always only give me a small dressing cup for my salad. The workers there use the same gloves when cleaning the tables and handling food. My friend got food poisoning from their chili beans. I will not recommend eating here unless you don't mind being disappointed. read more

I visit Boudin today at 12:54pm and order a Turkey Cranberry sandwich. I ask the lady who took my order if I can substitute the turkey for ham and she replied yes. I received my order and left to go home only to find out they gave me a sandwich with no meat. I was given a sandwich that only had lettuce, cranberry sauce and red onions. I tried calling boudin however no one answer. I left a voice message and no one has gotten back to me. I paid 10 dollars just for two slices of bread, lettuce, onions and cranberries sauce. I will NEVER eat there again. My check out number was 1096 and the name of the lady who took my order was Elodia C. read more

Been a fan of this bakery for years, of course, but they seemed to have really upped their food menu game in the past few years. So, something of a rediscovery with Boudin's. In our recent visits we've been ordering some of their newer menu items like their French Dip (nom nom nom), breakfast burrito, even burgers and their food quality is very very good/excellent and served hot and fresh from their kitchens. Perfectly serviceable staff and seating for a franchise, but just terrific food for this genre of eats. read more

Th food here is good and convenient. It's located right by Nordstrom. I usually get their clam chowder and a salad. My son loves their burgers. The staff is always pleasant to deal with. When I have my dog I sit outside even though I don't have to since he's a service dog. But I do love having that option. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite to eat and the friendly service. read more

Boudin - Front entrance to deliciousness - Bakeries Near Me - Corte Madera, California

I love Boudin's in San Francisco, so I was happy to see one in Corte Madera!!! It was a rainy day, but I wanted to give it a shot, kind of hoping for indoor seating even though they have an enclosed patio (plastic zipper) with a few heaters that worked. We walked in; we had never been before, so I had a few questions, which seemed to irk the cashier. After our food order was placed, we reluctantly headed outside, where it was cold, and both heaters near us were broken. Thankfully, someone finished eating and we were able to move before our food came. Prior to the order being delivered I asked a server about salad dressing, and she kept saying "it's on the salad" I said "Yes, I understand, but they didn't ask what type I wanted, so I need to let them know" she said "It's on the salad" UGH - frustrating. Our food was delivered to the table, and the bread on my Blue Burger was as hard as a rock, no way I could have taken a bite; and the soup for my Granddaughter was cold, and tasted like Campbell's Tomato - not very flavorful. I was able to ask for just a soft piece of bread for my burger, and fifteen minutes later someone brought it to me, but it was toasted sourdough. I just smashed up the burger in to the salad and ate it that way. Oh, salad dressing??? Yes, I think there was some sort of vinaigrette on the lettuce. We likely won't return, very disappointed. read more

I'm hurt. The crab fishermen are on strike, and rather than pulling their crab melts, Boudin is still selling them with 2 day old crab and bread. Stale bread. Runny spoiled crab. Wilted lettuce and smushed tomatoes. All around embarrassing. Spoiled crab is no joke and I don't feel like having food poisoning to ring in the new year. Their whole sale bread and other pastries were fine and customer service was acceptable. Please don't sell rotten crab, regardless of circumstances, it's dangerous and embarrassing. Update: Went back to return it and was picked off by an employee at the door. She asked me to not get in the long food line where people are buying more of these sandwiches. I stood to the side of the entrance and a manager came out of the back room. I explained my experience and issue, and he agreed to return the food. He offered me something on the house (I declined-Appetite ruined). His explanation of why the sandwich was gross? The supplier did not deliver bread and they had to buy from the local grocery story. For those of you who are not familiar with this joint, it is a bread factory where they make and sell at least 10,000 loaves a day (on a regular day). We literally watched them making it and carrying over to the selling case. So, what? 2 stars, because the refund and I had also bought a chocolate croissant. read more

Review is for their catering of box lunches. My company uses Boudin frequently for lunch meetings, ranging from dozens of folks to over a hundred. They normally offer a nice cardboard box with a gourmet sandwich, small bag of Tim's chips, and a cookie (BTW I think the chocolate chip is the only one worth having - they make it thick, chewy, and rich with lotsa morsels). Today, I tried their Fra Mani Rosemary Ham and Brie. Excellent sandwich with a fluffy sourdough bun, dried cranberries, watercress, Dijon mustard, and mayo. It was smaller than my usual sandwiches but packed with flavor. I get saltiness of ham, bitterness of watercress, and sweetness from the cranberries and Brie cheese. Will definitely custom order this one next time we do catering! Our default options (all excellent also are Classic Italian, Turkey Avocado, Turkey Cranberry, Chicken Pesto, and Roast Beef. For vegetarians they can make nice boxes salads too - for for example Waldorf and Asian Chicken Salad in addition to usual Caesar Salad. read more
