Location: La Boulangerie Fig Garden Date: June 25, 2026 Service: Pre Order Today I placed a cake that I ordered from the bakery pre-ordered in advance. Everyone enjoy the cake they love that is the naked k with the cream and fruit filling with the fresh flowers on top with his nice addition and display to the cake. The store was clean there was no long lines they assisted me immediately. I was in and out of there under 10 minutes. I was able to find a little parking out front of the bakery. Check out the photos attached to this review. read more

Popped in out of the rain to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee with my boyfriend. We were third in line waited roughly two minutes for service. We were quickly greeted with a warm greeting. The trays were lined with gorgeous baked goods with visibly crispy flakey layers! I always find it sooooo hard to make a selection of my baked good. I settled for a pastry cream filled empanada and a mini banana loaf. For coffee we ordered a chai and vanilla latte. The latte was served nice and hot and had the perfect amount of richness and sweetness to it. The chai was decent, and was warm and complimented the pastry well. Cream filled empanada was good and rich decadent custard filling. It was evident that the butter is the proper temperature and the dough is handled minimally due to the light and perfectly crispy, flaking layers noted. The banana bread and natural taste of banana which comes from proper ripening of the fruit giving its full flavor! The bread was adorned on top with crumbles of nuts. Service was great, the bakery was bustling and every table was filled both inside and out for a Tuesday afternoon. Will I return? STAWWWWWWWPPPPPP ASKING... I don't come enough.... read more

Le Boulangerie has supplied delicious birthday cakes and pastries to our family for years and remains a local favorite! We recently purchased the Mocha cake and the chocolate ganache and coffee filling elevated the Genoise sponge cake! The buttercream frosting requires about 30 minutes out of the fridge before serving...the wait is worth it!! Well done Le Boulangerie! read more

I've always preferred the Nicoise Cake here for a birthday cake over any other cake here in the Central Valley. To add a little personalization, I just add toys and such as cake toppers. Been doing this for years. Staff here are fast and everything is always so good because the bread and pastries are sold out by end of the day. The ambiance is filled with the sweet aroma of breads that mixes in with their fresh brewed coffee to attract all these Parisian Breakfast lovers. The sound level is at medium as people stand in line waiting to be called next and the chairs are filled with people enjoying their sandwiches and salads. read more

La Bou... an office fave for sure. I wouldn't call it one of MY favorite places but I do enjoy it whenever I do have it. For lunch, I'd get the Tuna, the Chicken Salad, or the Egg Salad sandwiches... Depending what I feel like eating at the moment. I always get it on the Croissant... croissants just make every sandwich better in my opinion. I usually just get a cup of water and never really get chips-- but, with the Egg Salad sandwich I like it with Hot Cheetos. The cookie they give you is a bonus. All three sandwich options are great. If I had to rank them from my preference? It would be: 1) Tuna 2) Egg 3) Chicken. If I'm really hungry, I'll order the whole sandwich. If not-- half order. As for their bakery... very good. I've never actually ordered anything for myself but our office used to get everyone a cake for our birthdays every year and most of the time they came from La Bou! Obviously, the Nicois is delish. The Cappuccino is one of my faves... anything coffee flavored to be honest. Tiramisu, duh. The Pink Champagne one is good but not my fave. I'm sure all their cakes are good. As for the smaller pastries... I've had the tarts, eclairs, the macs, the cream puffs, and the cupcakes. As long as it's one of the key flavors I always look for-- I'm all in. Sometimes people pick correctly when they gift it to me... other times, I'm glad to try something new lol (no pics of any btw). Limited seats inside and outside, only because they are usually pretty busy/packed. People are in and out and move along quickly though... we've never had trouble getting a small table for us to eat at. Also, all the tables are pretty much shaded so that's a plus. Service is pretty quick. We usually do call ahead though if we're getting lunch for work because of how busy they get... so, you have been warned. Final words: good lunch spot, great bakery. read more

Met a friend for brunch at 11:30am on a Friday. This day was quite busy so we stood in line for a few minutes until it was our turn to order. The woman taking my order was very patient and friendly. I ordered a grilled cheese which comes with three different types of cheese. One of them is swiss which I don't like so I was able to get extra provolone. The grilled cheese also comes with tomato which is yummy. Along with the half sandwich I also got a side salad which was fresh. La Bou adds a small, yummy cookie with each order which is yummy too. We found a table for 2 next to the window and enjoyed our lunch. read more

Great spot if you're craving a good pastry and some coffee. The cherry lattice turnover here is especially yummy! Flaky, sweet and definitely worth trying. The lines can get pretty long, but the staff keep things moving and the service is impressively speedy. There's usually plenty of seating inside if you are looking to stay. A solid stop for a quick and tasty treat. read more

Nice stop without the crowds on a weekday mid afternoon for late lunch or snack. Outdoors is shaded. Got the chicken salad sandwich on sourdough with tossed green salad. Tasty if you're in mood for chicken salad and tastes fresh. Got baked goods to go including chocolate and almond crossiant and the coconut macaroons, the latter which were excellent. Service was professional. read more

This is my first time coming here and the hospitality I received was great! Thank you to John on helping me today with patience! read more

Came here on a Monday - oh boy what a change from my previous visits. The croissant kinda yesterdays croissant , the cream cheese croissant was ok - not as great as before ( it was not as newly baked I guess ) Service was quick as there were no lines. There was no fresh baking aroma when we got there though - that should have given us our hint. read more

Been coming here for the better part of the last 15 years JUST for their Nicois cake. It's the perfect slice of Heaven for any event and everyone always wants to know what it is and where I got it. La Boulangerie is such a hidden gem here in the old fig garden area of fresno and me and my family love it. We love it so much my nephew now works there, un the cake department. I've also heard their bistro serves up some pretty yummy stuff too! The service here Is also pretty fabulous. They definitely have a system down that works on getting people served as friendly and efficiently as possible. read more

La Boulangerie is one of my favorite lunch spots! But, it's time for a makeover! It looks sad and worn out! The owner needs to walk in as a customer and experience their first impression.The floors need to be power washed inside and out. It could use a coat of paint. The food in the display case does not look appetizing, and it could use some creativity the way the food is displayed and embellished. The Eiffiel Tower needs to be upgraded. The quality of the food and the pastries are excellent and will continue to be a favorite of mine, but I want to feel like I'm walking into a Paris bistro and patisserie right in Fig Garden!! I want it to reflect the delicious food and pastries! Please make an effort to upgrade my dining experience! Thank you! read more

Poor customer service , usually have a much better experience! The pastries are delicious, however disappointed with staff poor customer service! read more

This cafe has so many good treats. The white cake with the strawberry's and kiwis is one of my favorites along with their breads in general and the cream cheese croissant is also a favorite. I love the outdoor sitting area and the staff is always helpful. read more

This is the best bakery in town! And great for a bite to eat for lunch on the patio during the spring and summer months. A homemade roll comes with most everything you order on the menu. But the pastries, cookies, cakes, and bread are just absolutely off the charts! Go by and get a baguette and some pastries for the weekend! read more

Probably my favorite bakery hands down. Anytime I need a cake this is my go-to place. They've made everything for my family from birthday cakes and baptisms, to a cake for my dad's celebration of life. The German chocolate is one of the best. The line can be crazy long especially on Saturday mornings. The mini zucchini loaves are a must try. The peach danishes are another one of my favs. It's hard to go in and choose just one item. read more

Warm and welcoming atmosphere, classic decor, and amazing pastries. We stopped by here for some morning coffee and pastries for the first time after eyeing the business for a while. First off, the pastries are just pretty. I almost didn't want to eat them because they're just nice to look at. And the textures are what they should be; flaky, soft, and crispy even they're supposed to be. The flavors are sharp, and everything tastes homemade. To top it off, prices are reasonable and the staff were understanding and patient with us as we figured out our order. The only negative was the coffee took a little long to be served, but it was serviceable. We definitely plan to return here for special breakfasts like Christmas, birthdays, and cheat days! read more

I wish I can eat their fruit tart and lemon bar every day. Prior to coming here, I tried their carrot cake from my coworker's birthday and it was sooo good. One slice was rich and filling. I knew I had to try their other pastries. I went after 4pm on a weekday and it's located in a really nice area. The inside was pretty and there's also outside seating which was where I sat enjoying the pastries. The employee was friendly and patient with me as I chose the pastries. I ordered the fruit tart, lemon bar, mini bundt cake and a peach filling pastry (I wasn't sure it was a turnover or danish?) lol but everything was good besides the bundt cake because it wasn't that moist. Overall, I would definitely go back and try their cookies then get some lemon bars and fruit tarts :) read more

Beautiful, fresh, and scrumptious! This awesome business is great to visit, and is consistent with quality and flavors! Today we were lucky enough to come across a booth they had at Vineyard Farmer's Market. We purchased a loaf of sliced Raisin Walnut Bread, Portuguese Sweet Bread, and a phenomenal pastry with fresh apricots baked atop. All items were crafted with care and tasted as exquisite as ever! I loved that they had the option of buying a loaf unsliced or sliced. Shared with family, everything was enjoyed! When purchased, their service was friendly and they were super sweet and helpful. What a happy surprise that we came across them today while wandering at the Vinyard Farmer's Market. We love visiting their location at Fig Garden Village, and have for years. I will definitely purchase from them wherever they are, again and again! Impress friends and family by taking some of their delishisness to potlucks, or just for a visit! I guarantee you will put a smile on their faces! Well done! read more

The chocolate croissants were terrible! They shouldn't even be called croissants, rather dough pockets with a smattering of chocolate chips. The layering is non existent and they were HARD! It is sad to see a bakery that has been a Fresno institution start a slow decline. Since Patrick sold to the new owners, cost not quality has been the focus. To repeat, really, really sad. read more

I come here all the time. Especially for their bread. I love the bread. The pastries are great as well. I always recommend this place to friends/family. I haven't had their cake in a while, but for my bf I decided to splurge and get their 8 inch cake because I remember it being sooooo good. I'm not sure if they changed their recipe, but I do remember the frosting being just perfect. Not too sweet, but this time it wasn't really sweet at all. Almost like they possibly forgot to put sugar in it? Or maybe that's how it always was? I'm not sure. The guests enjoyed the cake. In all honesty the cake alone was great. Fruit/filling great. But the frosting just threw me off. I opted not to eat that portion. But it was beautiful. I paid an extra $15 for the whole top to be filled with fruit. In total the cake was about $65? read more

This place has phenomenal cream cheese croissants. Quite busy but service is quick. I got a ham and cheese croissant, which was very good, my only issues was the middle wasn't as hot as I would have liked. Pumpkin spice latte was delicious, not overly sweet like Starbucks & tasted like good coffee & the regular coffee was good tasted fresh and just good in general. They have a spot to add creamer & sugar, several types of sugar & flavored creamer plus half and half read more

I always go there when I am in that part of town and have never had a problem. I went in today and ordered a apple turnover which they are always changing and then got to a macaron, I get in the car and take a bite of the macaron had walnuts :( I have an allergy to it, had to take a pill and a shot I'm fine by the way. So the point is that I thought by law they HAVE TO HAVE signs put up so people know what they are eating or what the ingredients is at least, when I asked the guy what was the cookie he never said macaron with walnuts and I never even heard of that kind of cookie so now I know too ask so I don't end up dying next time I go there read more

A Fresno staple and classic. I am not in any way a "regular" here...I don't meet friends here, have a favorite breakfast order, or know any of the employees by first name. I don't even get the chance to stop by monthly. BUT this is definitely the type of place that has regulars, and also is worth stopping by when you want a delicious breakfast quiche, some freshly baked bread, a decadent cake for a special occasion that looks as amazing as it tastes, or any variety of pastries, mostly of the sweet persuasion, but with a few savory options thrown in. I've tried many other bakeries in town (both newer and older than this place), and for quality, price, and deliciousness, I keep finding myself coming back to this location. And, the only thing on my birthday wish list each year is a cake from La Boulangerie. Some of my family's favorites include the chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, any of the croissants and the mini fruit tarts. I also love trying their different breads and dinner rolls. The cholla bread is fluffy, chewy, with just the right amount of sweet. And the breakfast quiches are full of goodness, and just the right amount of seasoning. While you will be very lucky to come here when there isn't already a long line, their ticket system of calling folks to the counter runs efficiently, and they are very good at getting you helped and out the door faster than you may expect. I am very grateful that the service has continued to be high quality, even after a change in ownership a while back. Please, La Boulangerie, keep up the good work. I am hopeful to stop by for many more birthdays, special occasions, and "just because" moments in the future. read more

Honestly I'm pretty grossed out. I was recommended this place however when I arrived and asked for a pastry, the minute the associate picked up the pastry a nice handful of gnats went flying around. I was so grossed out I said never mind. I almost didn't want to eat anything after that however since I was with a friend who loved this place I didn't want to make a fuss. I ended up ordering something different out of another shelf which didn't appear to have bugs in it. I also ordered an Italian cream soda however upon receiving that they served me an Italian soda. I then had to ask for that to be corrected as well. I would say for this being my first experience they certainly were not having a great day. I'm not impressed and will probably not visit again. read more

So I normally love this place but the past 2 times I've come in have not been the best. This time we got a quick breakfast, the quiche and a ham and cheese croissant the quiche was not fully warmed up and was cold in the middle,literally 45min later we're both rushing to bathroom. Last time I came i got a fruit tart and the strawberry still had dirt on it.. Small things like this makes me question what other things they're careless about ... read more

I give this five stars, because they have the best French pastry in Fresno. It is all made with butter and SOME of our favorites, there are SO many, are these: cherry danish, apricot danish, nut bar, big flaky croissants, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, fresh strawberry croissants and baguettes, of course! ;) Their morning quiches are buttery, savory and delicious! On the first Tuesday (ONLY) of every month, they bake an ORGANIC, stoneground milled, rye bread that you CANNOT get ANYWHERE else! Pre-order before the first Tuesday. I have even pre-ordered a week or so prior. You will have to pre-pay for the order. They come in one or 2 pound loaves. I have mine sliced and freeze a couple loaves to last me the month. It's a very dense, moist bread. When my brother comes to visit, THIS is the place he wants to be sure to come. . . We sit outside and leisurely enjoy morning pastries, or brunch here. At La Boulangerie, it is easy to pretend that you are NOT in Fresno. The café has fresh delicious food and their salads are fantastic! I enjoy both their Mediterranean and Chinese chicken salads. The side salads (Bowtie pasta, and Potato salad) that come with the soups and/or sandwiches, are equally good! The French Onion, and the Chicken with Wild Rice soup taste homemade with rich and hardy flavors. I also recommend their Grilled Vegetarian sandwich and their Chinese chicken salad on a croissant. The Parker rolls that come with soup or salad are very moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. . . like they are supposed to be! One of Fresno's ' jewels'! read more

I'm leaving this review in the spirit of helpfulness because the outdoor dining area today was truly disgusting. The food we got (eclair) was fine. The service was slow-ish as always (despite not too many customers) but everyone who wants a pastry at La Bou has come to accept slow and not especially friendly service. But when the outdoor eating area, on a gorgeous fall day, is completely out of control and disgusting, it wouldn't matter if you had the best eclair in the world, or fast friendly service. What we saw was completely offputting. The outdoor tables were dirty too. This was not a brief or temporary problem. The area looked like this when we arrived. It looked like this after we waited in the slow line for the eclair. It looked that way the entire time we sat outside at the least dirty table we could find. It looked that way an hour later when we passed by it again after shopping. At no point did we see any employee come outside. No one wiped tables or addressed the trash -- and I mean the situation was beyond "trash" -- you could fairly describe it as "filth." Look at the photos. The only reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 is my sentimentality from when this was a really nice place. What happened? And in Fig Garden Village? I'm surprised the surrounding businesses didn't complain. This does not give "upscale shopping center." It gives "run-down shopping center in distress." Not the vibe FGV is going for. If I'd never been here before, I would never come back. I live nearby and have fond memories of this place so I'll probably check to see if they get the situation under control. But the condition of the outdoor space was beyond horrible. read more

First off, the quality of the espresso and the Lemon cake is the only reason the review is not below 3 stars. Pros: Lemon cake is great (when they have it). The salted toffee iced latte. And the iced white chocolate mocha. (And oat milk options is sprays a positive.) Good customer service. Even with the long lines, they had a lot of employees on hand to keep customers moving. They have a lot of seat's and It's not too loud inside. They also have plenty odd seats outside, and that's where a majority of the customers were on this 77 degree summer day. Cons: LOTS of mosquitoes floating within the cakes/pastries/cookies display. As in the s'mores cookies that we selected was not the one the mosquitos landed on. The chocolate shavings on the s'mores were good, but the s'mores were bland. The Lava cake was not good either. We found their neighboring grocery store's chocolate quality within the pastry was IMMENSELY better. Their lines for baked goods is very long, but...(read above). Lastly, their mocha took about 12 minutes to make. That was after a late and a hot chocolate was made for the other patrons. That isn't a very good speed of service for their business model. Final review, a 2.8 out of 3, which my wife says is too generous. read more

The food won't disappoint. But very busy it's really weird when you order food and you want a drink' it's not a real smooth set up if you're in a hurry not the place to go if you go after 7 o'clock in the morning. read more

This Bakery gets pretty busy. If you are planing to go there to pick up a birthday cake I recommend to order ahead and pay in advance so you don't have to wait in the big like for regular orders. Also they have some of the best cakes in town. They have many different flavors and fruity ones. I also like the baguettes here. They are crunchy and fresh. The cookies and little pastries are so good!! I like the fruit tarts and the creamy filling ones. Be prepared for long lines. But as soon as you make your order you pay right after and you are out. They also have a café. They have breakfast and lunch. I have never eat there. Maybe one of this days I go and have breakfast there. The ambience is casual. There is plenty of room to seat and eat inside or outside. I didn't get any pictures. Next time I will take some. read more

La Boulangerie - Iced Matcha with beehive pastry. This is so flaky and nutty. Not too sweet. Lightly sweetened with honey - Bakeries Near Me - Fresno, California

*Sigh, I feel like this place has gone downhill since the original owners sold it. I'm not sure what happened to this place. This bakery had my favorite cakes of all time. I get the Nicois cake for New Years every year and it's gotten worse each year. I don't know if they're just so busy and not paying attention to quality but the cake had no flavor. The whip cream didn't have the creaminess, airy, fluffiness like it used to and there was no sweetness. The cake itself was dense and dry. The nuts were the only flavors we actually tasted which is sad. The cake looks so gorgeous as always but this is the last time I will order our cakes for New Years. read more
