La Boulangerie Boul’Mich – Key Biscayne

All the reviews about this place are right. Great breakfast. Gonna try Lunch next time. Key west omelet just perfect.

Perfect breakfast. Every time. I have been going here for breakfast every weekend for 4 years. And no place has better bread and croissants!

Had breakfast here a week ago. I had essentially a Eggs Benedict except with smoked salmon where the canadian bacon would be. Very tasty and attractively plated. I wish we have a place like this back home. A pleasant find (thanks Unilocalers).

I can’t even rate based on food, service at the counter was absolutely atrocious. They were busy but it’s no excuse for not even greeting your clientele.
The location looked nice and the food looked like it would taste good if any member of the staff had even said hello. We stood in line for 10 minutes being moved out of the way by servers and not one person asked us if we wanted something or if they could help.
Instead they took 3 people who got in line after we did and ignored us. I guess I’ll try to give them my money some other time but based on this experience it won’t be for a while.

Charming French café. My friend and I were looking for a breakfast place to eat in Key Biscayne, and Unilocal certainly guided us to this wonderful place. Staff was very friendly and fast for service.
I ordered an apple tart pastry and cortadito to start. The apple tart was toasted to perfection, and had a wonderful balance of sweet and savory between the glaze and the cream inside.
I ordered the Key West Omelette, which is a fluffy omelette with salmon, capers, and sautéed onions. It also came with a baguette on the side. It had beautiful presentation and the taste was amazing! I would definitely order again.
Each menu item comes with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice, which I highly recommend. You can taste the freshness of the juice, and it captures the unique flavor of Florida oranges.
The restaurant automatically adds gratuity to your bill, even for small parties (there was only 2 of us). I suppose it is for tourists who may come through, but I am not a fan of this practice.

Went here for breakfast this morning with my daughter and grand daughter. The servers were very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Key West omelet which was absolutely delicious. The entry came with a French baguette toast, freshly squeezed orange juice and a cup of coffee. They even have a healthy choice of a wheat baguette instead of white. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Will definitely come again when visiting the area again.

Delicious food, great turkey avocado sandwich. A nice restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Service sometimes is slow.

Good food! the sandwiches and salads are a must have. Also, it is convinient if you want something fast!

We took Sunday breakfast here.
When we arrived, seating was almost full.
But one staff was so quick to make our seat.
From the breakfast menu, We ordered as follows:
NY style bagel $ 11.95
Fruits bowl $ 9.95
Pancakes $ 11.95
All come with hot coffe and fresh squeezed orange juice.
Bagel were filled with cream cheese and smoked salmon.
3 pieces of pancake was fluffy and not too sweet.
Staffs are all nice and kind.
Will come back when we have chance to travel to Miami.

Very nice place.
The waitress are very kind.
We were waiting for a place like this in Aventura

Always a treat– La Boulangerie has great coffee and nice a section of baked goods and sandwiches. They are also home to THE most delicious almond croissants.

Excellent! It was the best breakfast ever. Good for brunch, or afternoon pastries with awesome coffee. I’ve got the nicest cappuccino with almond milk I’ve ever tried.

Muy bueno lo recomiendo a full.
Los croissant el café la decoracion la atencion realmente insuperable.
Hacia mucha falta este lugar.

Delicious Pastries and Great Coffee. A Must visit in Key Biscayne. The décor of the place invites you in with antique objets and burlap coffee bags. Everybody knows each other and the staff makes you feel right at home among family.

Excellent french bakery, superior brunch. The chocolate desserts are a must ! ask for the one that’s not on the menu.

I stopped in and grabbed the PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA sandwich. It was delicious. I was full after half of the sandwich but could stop eating because it tasted so good!

I love this place for three things…
1) It’s the only place for a decent Eggs Benedict on the island, although don’t expect a great (real) hollandaise sauce. But the eggs are always cooked properly, and the baked tomato and single thick asparagus spear is a perfect accompaniment.
2) they have the best filled croissants (almond, chocolate, guava & cheese, ham and cheese) on the island.
3) it’s the closest thing to the European concept of a ‘bar’/café (ie, quick café with good coffee, pastries and food) that I’ve seen around here.
While French inspired, they are not ‘french’ per se, but good nonetheless. I’d recommend this as a breakfast place or for an afternoon snack/​coffee.

French bakery located on Key Biscayne mainly known for their breakfast options. I am not sure how French it is considering everyone in the place speaks Spanish. My mom loves their croissants so I stopped in and bought two with a fresh cup of orange juice and I paid $ 12.00. In Key Biscayne, you will pay a premium for anything you buy because of the location. Since most of the people that live here are wealthy, the businesses take advantage of that in their pricing. One of the croissants I bought was plain and the other was Guava and Cheese and they tasted ok, I was expecting a lot more due to the pricing.

Despite the very French name, La Boulangerie is more of a Latin American bakery/​café that happens to serve some French-​style dishes. Their brunch menu is simple, consisting of omelettes, sandwiches, and egg benedicts. A nice perk is how fresh squeezed OJ and coffee are included in the meal.
During my visit I tried the Croque Madame and the Eggs Benedictine. I found the croque madam to be the better of the two. The benedict was a little flat in flavor, especially the hollandaise sauce. I also picked up Almond and a Guava/​Cream Cheese Croissant. The croissants aren’t the traditional flaky multi-​layered pastries but they’re still enjoyable. My favorite was the almond one as it had a generous smear of almond paste in the middle, lending a subtle sweetness to it.
Lastly, I bought a Spicy Chicken and Beef Empanada to eat later as a snack. Bad idea. They were the worst ones I’ve had in Miami so far. The beef one was the least offensive since the stuffing was just bland chunks of beef. The major offender was the spicy chicken. The unpalatable combo of dry chicken, harsh salty olives, and an unnecessarily generous amount of dried red pepper flakes, made it inedible. The dough was covered with pepper flakes along with even more in the stuffing mix. The beef empanda came in handy to rid my palate of the taste.

Stopped in to grab sweet treats before we headed out to the beach. I got a few macaroons and my gal pal had a strawberry tart (all I heard was, ‘yum!’).

The food is good and the service is very nice from some of the staff yet «iffy» from others. Be prepared to have the tip included on your ticket. We were only a party of two but the tip was included anyway. I don’t recall seeing any notice on the menu about this, or on the bill.
We specifically told them not to put the tip on the credit card since we wanted to pay the tip in cash. The bill comes back and the tip is included on the credit card. Then the manager and a young lady waitress that seemed to have taken over for our original waiter (who was great) got a bit upset at us when we asked them to take if off. He said he didn’t know how. I’m sure the young waiter would have had a better disposition that the waitress and would have not put the tip on the credit card to begin with as we had requested.
Anyway, I was pretty amazed that they were reprimanding us, the customers, instead of apologizing for not billing us correctly. The young man that took care of us was extremely nice but sadly the young lady that took over was not as nice. The manager, well, he shouldn’t get upset at customers that want to pay the tip in cash specially after they asked the waitress not to put it on the bill from the beginning yet she puts it on there any way. Maybe he should have reprimanded the waitress for not paying attention?
The food in this very casual bakery is good but don’t expect large portions. It reminds me of any Cuban bakery on 8 street but with portions cut back and prices pushed up. I’d call the portions «french restaurant portions» which is fine for me but others might feel a bit jipped because they are really smaller than you would receive at any other cafeteria style bakery such as this. Perhaps at one of those fancy pricey restaurants with white clove service, no, but here? I had bagels with nova and they were really small. The bagels were not as hearty they should be (they too light and airy for bagels). They didn’t give any lettuce which I would have liked. I gave half my lunch to my friend who had the pouched eggs with salmon since she was still hungry after finishing her meal.
You do get as many coffee refills as you would like and the coffee is good and fresh. They also serve you very quickly. Its a very casual atmosphere so you can go in shorts. I honestly would have overlooked the prices had the service been less than rude from the manager and the young lady waitress.
My suggestion: skip lunch and maybe just have coffee and pastries. I haven’t had them but they look good and just the right size for pastries — small. This way you can enjoy the treat without gaining too much weight.
Unless you are a light eater like me, don’t expect to feel like you had a typical meal there, but definitely a large snack or light meal. Do know that regardless of the size of the meal being small, the price will not.
As other Unilocalers have already posted, beware of the unfriendly and less than welcoming service from those that may be senior staff (manager and lady waitress).
However, expect much friendlier service from the young man that was at first our waiter and then busboy.
Also, lol, take cash and know the bill includes the tip.
