So, I have been a fan of La Bou for years. We used to go to the Carmichael store a lot, and my dad who is now 90 likes it also. We were in the area of this location and we came in to order two regular sandwiches and a coffee..... WOW, $40 later, I was very unhappy as we got two dinky small sandwiches and although the coffee was good I didn't expect it would be 8 dollars. The lady running it was very nice, but I am assuming she is not the owner. To the owner: I get prices have gone up on things, but wow, for $40 I will go elsewhere, and for the mere size of those sandwiches, I would advise anyone to instead go to Beach Hut to order a Woody, as their 12 inch is $36 and WAYYYYYYYY more worth it, HUGE, messy and delicious. The ones we had at this La Bou were like what your grandma would make, small and plain. No tbad, just not worth spending $26 on. Seriously, go to the store and just buy yourself the stuff, eat for 4 days instead. SAD =( read more

I was craving La Bou's spicy Thai soup so stopped by this Roseville location. To be fair, I had never been to this location before, but every La Bou I've ever been to has had the same recipe for their spicy Thai soup. I was so very disappointed today. The recipe is completely different. There was a massive pool of chili oil on the surface and the flavor just wasn't there. If this is the new recipe at all locations, sadly I will not return. I definitely won't return to this particular location. read more

I had their turkey cheese warm croissant and it's not as good as i remembered. The price was also very expensive compared to before. I also got two cookies. They used to put cookies in its own bag but here she just tossed them in the brown bag with my croissant. The cookies didn't taste as fresh or as good so I was very disappointed. Nice service and it wasn't busy. Place looks clean. read more

Today I ordered La Bou's brownie bark dessert. It was good in the past, but the one I got today smelled and tasted moldy. The brownie looked fresh, it was even soft as a brownie should be. I don't know where they have been storing them; the mold content was very high. read more

Stopped by La bou for lunch while out Christmas shopping around noon on a Friday. It wasn't too busy, which was nice. I ordered the turkey sandwich with avocado on sourdough. One thing to note is that the menu on the wall lists the sandwich names but doesn't explain what comes on each one. I like to know what's on my sandwich, so I had to ask an employee, who was helpful and explained it to me. The sandwich itself was really good. The sourdough bread was super soft and fresh, and everything tasted great. Their pastries looked tempting, but I didn't end up getting one this time. Overall, I was happy with my meal and service was quick. Would definitely stop by again. read more

La Bou - Turkey with avocado - Sandwiches Near Me - Roseville, California

Came in for the first time in a long time. Hours changed and I think there is another owner since the one that took over 5+ years ago. Foods not nearly as good as original owners, changes across the board, seems to be getting worse and way more expensive. Sorry, won't be back, I gave it my last try. Good luck! read more

Greatest BLT I've ever eaten!!! How can a sandwich change your life? Go to La Bou and let them show you. FANTASTIC!!! read more

I pretty much get the same thing at every La Bou I visit. A smoked turkey on croissant, a Chinese chicken salad no peanuts, and 1/2 a baguette sliced with a dill sauce. Today I skipped the salad. The sandwich was fresh and delicious. Their baguette is good, but their dill sauce is amazing!! You can buy it by the cup this one is right by my work and it has been consistently good and the service has been good. Prices are a tad high but everything is these days! read more

La Bou - Smoked turkey on croissant - Sandwiches Near Me - Roseville, California

The Chinese Chicken Salad was all romaine lettuce. There was maybe 3 or 4 pieces of chicken & about the same nuts. Whatever happened to Chinese cabbage & noodles. These should all be included in a CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD. I rate this item a 2 out of 5. I will never buy this item again. read more

i am a sucker for a baguette and dill dressing from labou. big labou fan here, and just love that i will get a consistently good meal at any location. tons of parking outside, with a drive thru option *insert praise hands emoji*. plenty of soup, salad, sandwich combos and breakfast too! they do have some signs up asking for patience since they're short staffed. it was still a great dining experience. will be back! read more

Baguette and dill sauce is MANDATORY. I love that most Labou locations have Thai tea.(one of my favorite drinks in the world) I get their tomato soup which doesn't sound special but - IT IS. You can do half soup, salad or sandwich during lunchtime (which I lived off of when I was going to school) it's the perfect lunch spot. The staff are always so nice and the restaurant is clean. Try the tomato soup! lol read more

La Bou - Their Tomato soup is SO GOOD - Sandwiches Near Me - Roseville, California

Quick and easy lunch spot whether you dine-in or to-go. This modest fast casual dining place is a favorite. Their dill dip is a must try! Our usual are the tomato bisque, turkey panini, club sandwich (new fave), Chinese chicken salad ( the dressing is so good), and the Asian noodle salad. Service? meh! read more

I have not been at this La Bou in maybe 2 years. I regret saying that it has really gone down hill. I ordered a chocolate croissant and a ham and cheese croissant and a cup of coffee. The ham and cheese croissant had burnt cheese on the outside and the ham inside was very dry. I have been a La Bou customer for over 25 years and before this, everything I have ordered was delicious. My chocolate croissant was also not good. Not as bad as the ham and cheese croissant but not as good. I'm sure the difference is new owner/management. I hope this isn't the same for the other La Bou's! read more

La Bou - Burnt cheese on the outside of a ham and cheese croissant. The ham was dry! - Sandwiches Near Me - Roseville, California

when service is terrible, no food quality is worth it. Not to mention quality of food is quite low.

I'm actually posting this view to find out if others noticed a difference in their food. The noodles today are definitely not the normal noodles they use. They are kind of a mix between spaghetti and chow mein noodles. And there is very little flavor. Just taste oily. The blueberry scone I got didn't have it's normal crunch. They tasted like day old scones. Still good but just not the quality I'm used to. read more

La Bou - Asian Noodle salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Roseville, California

Good: Bread pudding, cookie, asian salad, thai chicken soup, baguette with dill dip, and roast beef panini. Terrible:Carmel brownie. Taste like freezer burn or mold. Everyone in our group thought it was disgusting. read more

Had lunch here today and really enjoyed our food! Looking forward to going back this week! We had the mom's chicken salad on sourdough (bread was very fresh) and it was fantastic! The eggplant sandwich cold not he panini and it was a hit. So much flavor! Had it on a baguette again fresh bread. The Asian noodle salad which was good but could use a little salt. I added soy sauce and it was great. Finally the Thai soup which tastes a lot like Tom Yum soup and was great. Loved everything and looking forward to returning. Very nice staff! read more

As much as I hate spending the money to eat here, I love everything on this menu. Maybe that's why my lunches here tend to be much closer to $20 than $10. Sure, you can stay under $10 too. Favorites: *Chicken Caesar Wrap. Love the roasted red bell peppers, cucumbers and lemony caesar dressing. Fresh. So fresh. *Chicken Club Panini. All the flavors. Avocado. Bacon. Chicken. *Thai Chicken Soup. Any day is a good day for this soup. *Dill Dip. SHOWSTOPPER. #IFYYK *All the breakfast sandwiches. Yes,all. read more

Not what it used to be and that makes me sad. I have been a customer since the mid eighties (yes, you read that right), and the last 15 or so years that I have lived in Placer County I have seen the local La Bou locations change hands multiple times. The ONE thing that always remained consistent however was the creamy dill dressing. So you can imagine how my heart sunk when I found it was no longer as good as it used to be. I eagerly walked in and ordered half of a salad and half of a sandwich. The tab came to about $13. That's for half of a simple green salad (with disappointing dill dressing) and a sandwich on half of a croissant. I added cheese and was surprised that I was charged extra for it (almost a dollar more). Aside from the dill dressing not being what it once was and the Dijon mustard spoiling the taste of sandwich, everything tasted ok. Not great, just ok. I will likely not return to this location. read more

My Chinese chicken salad was fine but my friends eggplant sandwich came on bread that was so stale, it crumbled in her hands. When she took it back the server was defensive and hesitant. Just bad customer service and less than stellar food. I think it's just this location because the one in Folsom is good. read more

After not having been there for a couple years, I recently stopped in. Bought four different pastries. I was shocked at how the quality had gone down. The almond croissant didn't even remotely taste the same. The texture of the pastrie was completely different than in the past. The chocolate croissant tasted as if it was previously frozen. I should have gotten the message when at 8am on a Saturday morning there was no one in the store. They really need to get it together or sadly it will fade away. read more

Their iced white mocha is my favorite ever! I don't know what it is, but it's so good! Wish they had a loyalty program

One of my go-to's for lunch since I work relatively close by. They have a wide variety of soups, salads, sandwiches, pastries and more. My personal favorite is the Chinese Chicken Salad. You can tell that every single meal is made with love and good quality food. I also love ordering a half baguette and a dill sauce on the side. Whatever you do, you MUST order dill sauce!!! It's absolutely to die for. If you're coming for breakfast, I highly recommend the spinach and cream cheese croissant! read more

La Bou - Turkey croissant sandwich and Chinese chicken salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Roseville, California

I'm giving 5 stars for the food, soup,pastries, bread, dill sauce, SO GOOD! Always on point and consistent. The service however is so unfriendly,reluctant and unwelcoming. I almost don't go just because of it. No smiles or joy from any of the employees. It's a deterrent. This is the Roseville/Douglas location. read more

Best lovable and quick restaurant you will ever experience. The food has that nostalgic taste that brings you back years and the customer service was spectacular. The wonderful workers truly show that they care. The character and atmosphere of the place has and will forever be the best homie feeling. 10/10 recommend if you want a quick but absolutely delicious meal. read more

La Bou - Delicious food in a magnificent atmosphere - Sandwiches Near Me - Roseville, California

My co worker and I ordered from here on a door dash delivery. I Asian chicken salad and she ordered roast beef on a croissant. TERRIBLE absolutely TERRIBLE. Come on man they served the sandwich with a wilted cabbage leaf. That was supposed to be romaine lettuce. The avocado was also BROWN!!!! And my salad Well after picking out all the brown lettuce YES!!!! BROWN LETTUCE (this was a half salad) I gave up. Peanut s were good that was only what left of the salad CELERY wilted. To say not a great experience and well they have lost my business. Should be ashamed to send out food like that whether delivery or in house. SHAME on you La Bou read more

Perhaps not having enough staff on board is the issue...I went to this bakery to try local fare & wasn't acknowledged or welcomed. There was one staff person working the drive-up window ,leaving the front counter deserted. I took my time checking out the products..trying to decide what I wanted. Since I was being ignored,I left taking my dollars with me. Oh well I'll mark them off my list of potential bakeries that I plan to patronize for Holiday goodies. read more

While I took my disabled mother to the restroom a worker cleared both of our full drinks . When I asked they brought an entire tray of dirty table dishes and handed the drinks back dripping with other people's coffee/food. They refused to replace the drinks and acted as if we were pulling a scam! Super gross! read more

La Bou - Sandwiches Near Me - Roseville, California

Went here for the first ever. For Customer service the server never smiled and had ear pods in her ears, we needed to repeat everything to her. I got a turkey and cheese croissant, the breading was dry and hard all the way around and had 1 slice of turkey in it, no cheese at all. I don't recommend La Bou at all if this is how they're food is. My wife says this isn't how La Bou's food is normally. read more

I'll never go back. It had been a long time since I had eaten at any La Bou and I was really wanting the Chinese Chicken salad I loved. Bagged lettuce, a couple slices of carrot, very little chicken and flavorless dressing. I got it to go so I didn't see what it looked like until I got home. For close to $12 it was a total disappointment. Try somewhere else. read more

It's been a really long time since I've been to La Bou. They closed the one closest to my home, so I had to drive a distance to come here. I was craving scones. At around 9:15am they were OUT of practically everything for breakfast. ZERO scones, ZERO fruit croissants.... The bakery case looked completely empty. Seemed sort of early to me for them to be out of everything. I ordered a plain croissant and an apple cake to go for myself and a friend. The apple cake was cold as ice and very hard, almost burnt. The croissant was as dense as wonder bread. Not flaky at all. We threw both items away. Terribly disappointed. Not sure if it's La Bou in general or just this location. read more

I stopped in while my wife was next-door at the medical clinic. I had a really delicious club sandwich and mango iced tea. Very pleasant staff, sandwich was great, bread super fresh with fresh ingredients. Cookies looked really delicious. But I resisted. Enjoyed my impromptu visit. read more

I used to work at one in high school. I went from coffee maker to pep and sandwich and salad maker, to register and manager. They've closed a lot of stores. But, I know that everything is fresh for that day. From the baker who baked everything from croissants to sourdough at 4am. The dressings are hand made. The Asian, the Dill, which is Hidden valley Ranch with a ton of dill added to it, the vinaigrette dressing. The fruit is fresh. The cookies are fresh. That's why I still eat there. I know how clean and fresh they are. read more

Supporting small, privately owned, businesses is important to me during this time. I understand that places need to raise prices to stay afloat, etc. however, compromising the quality shouldn't come with that. My "Chinese Chicken Salad" today was less than desirable. It appeared as though a bag of salad was dumped into a plastic container, an extremely sweet dressing was placed in a side container, and maybe 2 teaspoons of chicken added to it. What my salad lacked, considering it's a "Chinese chicken salad" was any resemblance of what it's title indicates it should be. It was missing mandarin oranges, won ton strips, sesame seeds, etc. For the $9.95, I'm not expecting a gourmet salad, but I expect that it at least appear to be appetizing. This left me feeling incredibly disappointed and reaffirmed that La Bou is just not what it used to be. If the expectation is to stay afloat and keep the support coming in, then my recommendation is to do better. I could have paid $3.99 at Safeway for a bag of salad mix that would have appeased the craving for a "Chinese Chicken Salad". Shameful. read more

I was looking forward to a croissant based on the other reviews. But, these are pretty bad. They're very doughy, as opposed to light with a nice crust to them. I was very disappointed and couldn't even eat mine. The iced coffee mocha was fabulous though. read more

I was so looking forward to the butternut squash soup. It's one of my Favorites and you can only get it during the fall. So disappointed. It was so bland. It has no taste. I would give it 0 stars if I could. Don't waste your money read more

Save your money and go ANYWHERE but here. I spent $12 for an iced tea and a turkey sandwich with cheese. If you see the picture, they put 2 mere slices of turkey on the sandwich, it's ALL bread. With that being said, that is a very enjoyable and soft sourdough, just not worth $10. I now realize that it must be all La Bou's because this same thing happened in Sac. I'm shocked they are still open! read more

Zero Gluten-free options! It's a bakery! How hard could it be to offer one muffin or keep one loaf of bread in a freezer so those of us with Celiac or inability to consume gluten products could enjoy a sandwich or a dessert? Years ago when I first went to La Bou I could understand their lack of awareness of this need, but today it just shouts " Go somewhere else!" So we will. read more

The absolute worst tasting food. I tried the Chicken noodle and butternut squash soups and it tastes like canned soup. it reminds of hospital food frankly. Grilled cheese was below average. Where is the love for food? It is definitely not at this place. The food is definitely overpriced and I suggest better tasting food at reasonable prices. read more

I've enjoyed La Bou for so long! This visit was the most disappointing ever, sadly at those prices and serious poor quality food I won't be return. The spicy Thai chicken soup, tastes like warm dishwater, not even close to how the soup has always tasted. There was two small chunks of chicken, no rice no mushrooms. The simple turkey sandwich was on the wrong bread, and the fresh deli Turkey usually used, there was cheap Walmart lunch meat Turkey, it was disgusting and slimy. I paid over $70 for our meal, and 3/4 was not edible. I get times are tough, but if you can't provide quality ingredients, don't charge for quality than provide garbage. Thus us so disappointing. read more
