La Boulange opened the doors to its first restaurant outside of its hometown San Francisco Thursday. The new Los Angeles bakery-café features an all-day menu offering breakfast, lunch and dinner.
“Since opening our first bakery, Boulangerie, in San Francisco in 1999, our vision has always been to share our passion for incredible food in a great atmosphere with as many people as possible,” founder Pascal Rigo said in a news release. “Having the opportunity to bring that passion to the vibrant Los Angeles food scene is incredible and a natural next step for the La Boulange brand.”
Menu items include omelets, scrambles, house-made granola and yogurt, open-faced sandwiches and build-your-own burgers made with grass-fed beef. The beverage lineup includes single-origin, pour-over coffee, tap wine and beer, house-made specialty cocktails and handcrafted milkshakes.
The restaurant features a “modern farmhouse”-inspired design to create a warm, inviting atmosphere, the company said.
Also, for every club sandwich purchased at the new location, La Boulange will donate 35 cents to the LA Regional Food Bank. For every 35 cents, the LA Regional Food Bank distributes enough food for one meal.
