La Boulangerie

Have only had take away pastries brought to me by a friend from this place a few times. So cant review food and coffee.
Must say that claiming to be a french bakery their baking standrads are not in any way comparable to the authentic french ones. The french wd probably agree?!
Me thinks, pastries and croissants are very so-​so –satisfactory, they taste a bit blunt…

As lovely as La Boulangerie on Camden Street is, it has a je nais c’est quois that is decidedly pas français. The bakery next door is definitely the jewel in this tiara, with creamy cakes and a case full of pastries beckoning me luridly with promises of sugar highs and super-​sweetened fillings.
The café next door delivers just a little less…
On my lunchtime visit the café was crowded — always a good sign — but the staff was still sharp and attentive. Skipping the quiche (which I regretted later) I opted for a «calzone» that get’s air quotes for being more of a crescent shaped hot pocket than an Italian street food.
I also skipped the coffee and opted for a soda from the case.
When my lunch arrived to the table I immediately wished for something else: the dough was tough, the filling paltry and the sauce watery and sweet and it was € 5 before the bottle of soda (€ 1.50).
That’s marks off.
However, the welcome I got was genuine, the table clean and the window seat a delight for people watching. Now if I had just topped it off with a stop into the bakery there would have been another star…

I love to drop inside La Boulangerie for lunch, the Camden Street’s queen of French baked goods (breads, croissants, tarts and a yummy selection of temptations for the sweet-​tooths). You can choose to savour the mouthwatering delights inside the cosy seating area or grab your pastries on the run.
Their coffee is a bit weak for my taste, but that’s not why I get drawn here week after week. It’s their quiche that makes me drool like a starving dog. Fluffy and cheesy with a crispy crust and filled with vegetables, served with a fresh salad on the side. Quichelicious!

This place is just lovely. I used to pick my coffee up here every morning and I had to avoid making eye contact with the delectable baked goods on display. Once in a while I indulged and everything was always delicious. Their scones are particularly tasty. The staff are very helpful and friendly and don’t leave you waiting for too long no matter how busy they are. It’s in a great location too — the top of Camden Street, which is buzzing with character. If the weather is nice, there is nothing better than sitting on the seats outside, sipping a latte and watching the world go by.

Lovely place for a morning coffee or croissant in the sun, if the weather’s good.
I find it funny that the guys who work in the patisserie are always sitting outside watching the world go by. I guess they get most of their day’s work done in the wee hours…
But if the woman with the shrieky voice comes in and sits at the table next to me next time I’m in there for a quiet breakfast, I swear I’ll kill her! Bloody women on their mobile phones, I tell you!

Great for fresh baked products, like you’d expect from a Boulangerie. Popular for outdoor breakfasts on sunny days and an absolutely heroic place to read the papers.

There are two la boulangeries in the city. This one has an outdoor seating area which is full every morning that I pass by it.
They always have great breakfast specials and their baked products are fresh as the name of the place would suggest. I love to keep it simple when I have breakfast here and go for a black coffee and croissant, I always get delusions of grandeur and think that I am someone interesting in Paris rather than the reality which is a dull auld sod drinking coffee on a damp Dublin pavement.
