La Boulange has opened the doors to its first restaurant outside of its hometown San Francisco, bringing a new, all-day concept to the Los Angeles dining scene. Inspired by La Boulange’s rustic bakery and café roots, the new all-day menu offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, bringing the same passion and commitment to serving authentic, delicious food paired with an upscale, yet approachable vibe and atmosphere customers can enjoy throughout the day.
“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.”
“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,” said Pascal Rigo, founder of La Boulange. “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.”
The new menu builds on many of the traditional and popular dishes that have been served in the brand’s San Francisco cafes for many years, using local California-sourced ingredients wherever possible. Menu items range from omelets or scrambles, to hearty house-made granola and yogurt, to open-faced sandwiches and build-your-own burgers made with grass-fed beef. These are all paired with a variety of beverages including single origin pour over coffee, tap wine and beer, house-made specialty cocktails and handcrafted super thick milkshakes.
The restaurant features a “modern farmhouse”-inspired design to create a warm, inviting and relaxed atmosphere where guests feel comfortable gathering for a meal or drink any time of the day. Every element from the butcher block-style tables to the chairs, subway tiles, lighting, stenciled concrete, signage and artwork have been thoughtfully selected to foster this warm, inviting and relaxed atmosphere.
La Boulange is committed to giving back to the communities it serves. For every Club Sandwich purchased, 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. La Boulange has been successful in its hometown community efforts – since starting its La Boulange Fridays fundraising program just three years ago, the brand has helped to raise $1 million in donations for various San Francisco Bay Area local nonprofits. Learn more about the Food Bank at www.LaFoodBank.org.
The new Los Angeles La Boulange all-day concept, located at 359 S La Brea Ave (corner of LA Brea and 4th), will be open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week starting on Thursday, June 12. Customers can learn more at www.Laboulangeallday.com.
