Boudin Bakery & Cafe

First off, employees shouldn’t talk amongst eachother excluding a customer in any service industry. It’s rude. These girls were speaking in Spanish to eachother for a long time before taking my order. Got the veggie sandwich which comes on multigrain– I didn’t see that last detail, I wanted sour dough of course. Sandwich was ok. Not worth $ 9. Very small and skimpy portions of avo/​veggies. I asked for salad w it, they brought chips which is fine but when I asked for salad instead they seemed upset. When I realized it wasn’t on sourdough and asked them if I could have sourdough instead they were pissed… They changed it for me but when I said thank you the waitress didn’t even look at me just turned around upset. There was only one other person in the restaurant. They wernt busy, What’s the big deal? Not like they remade the whole sandwich, just changed the bread my god.

Probably the slowest line I have ever seen. There are only two cashier at a time and they have always been slow whenever I come here.
The nice thing atleast is that they are willing to bring your food anywhere, not just to the boudin seating area but even to the Asia box seating area.
I have ordered the chicken salad sandwich here before as well as the Brie fig and jam grilled cheese sandwich. The Brie fig and Jam sandwich I got was just really burnt and there was not much cheese in there. Petty much felt like I was eating sliced apples with burnt toast, I’d give that sandwich a 1 or 2 out of 5. I just tried eating it as fast as possible to get rid of it.
The chicken salad sandwich on the other hand is surprisingly good. It’s served cold but somehow comes out nicely. The bread is soft and the crust is crunchy (in a good way). The also add grapes which is interesting. at first I thought that was weird but they grow on to you. Sandwich is atleast a 3.5 out of 5
I have always ordered the clam chowder, it’s not bad but it always comes out cold or rather tepid. I just don’t get why they can make can’t make it hot.

Every single Louisianian visitor sees this spot and rumbles from their gut, awww yea boy!
Unfortunately to their surprise,
It’s Bow-​Din not Boo-​Dan,
It’s an old family bakery not an old family boucherie,
This is soup not sausage,
With clams not a single cracklin,
We’re talking gluten bread not gator balls,
Listen here, ain’t no fried rice in der boy,
But dey got dem chili bread bowls!

I placed an order to the cashier name Houda B. 340 189 around 3pm today dec 28 & I been standing for 3 – 5 minutes waiting for my name to be called, i notice the lady who prepared the food used the same blue gloves to grab a piece of cloth to clean the table to used to rip off the sourdough bread n pour in clam chowder same gloves to grab a pinch of the spring onion n sprinkle it on my soup. This lady should be aware that people around her is watching her how she prepared our food… she’s so nasty… she’s in the food business & i dont need to remind her!

Level set.
Downstairs:
Upstairs: Another Boudin without it’s own Unilocal page. Grabbing a lowfat Greek yogurt parfait with blueberries, raspberries and clusters of crunchy granola is a chance to remedy that.
Fairly priced at $ 4.49 and served by a friendly and attentive staff. Was hoping for a special coffee blend too but just serving Peet’s.
Set expectations accordingly.
