La Bou Bakery & Cafe - Cafe in Elk Grove - 8694 Elk Grove Blvd, USA

The employees that work here are some of the best in elk Grove. They clearly love their jobs and value the people that come in, whether they are delivery drivers or customers. If you go to this location and this restaurant, I can guarantee good food and even better I can guarantee you'll leave feeling like you were wanted there. I can't recommend this place enough, if good service and good food are not enough, the parking is always great as well. I don't know what the manager is doing here, but I can tell you the employees seem happy and that's always really important to me. Also, they have delicious pastries, which is a big bonus.

Nice atmosphere with self serve coffee and tea once paid for and water (free). The sourdough croissant was light, fluffy, crispy and warm. The egg and bacon were cooked perfectly to pair with this croissant. It was not flaky like others and had the right amount of balance between crispy and fluffy.

Had lunch today here. We ordered a turkey panini and a tuna on croissant. Plus half a bagette with dill sauce. And 2 italian sodas. 1 had cream added. Everything was delicious and fresh.

The worst customer service I have ever had. I have worked in a restaurant for 5 years, and the way we were treated by multiple employees was appalling. This was our first time here, and we ordered some food to go. All the employees seemed very stressed, even though there didn't seem to be very many customers in the building. The lady who took our order was not very helpful and rushed us. We went and sat by the food pick-up area right after our order was placed to wait for our number to be called. We watched an employee put a bag up on the counter, glance at us, and then walk away without a single word. Since it was our first time there, we didn't want to assume it was our food, and decided to wait for the employee to come back to the counter to verify (we didn't want to interrupt anyone since like I mentioned, they all seem extremely stressed). When she did eventually come back up to the counter, it was to complain to her coworker that she has no idea where these people are and that they need to come get their food. I spoke up to say that we had been waiting on our order, but hadn't wanted to assume that was ours and had been waiting to hear our number. She told us that we were wrong and that she had been calling the number multiple times and we didn't hear. I let her know that we were sitting in front of the counter the whole time (and even watched her put it up there), and once again she let us know that we were wrong, didn't hear and that other employees were even calling the number (they had not been), and she seemed extremely angry. I said that was a lie, but just took our food and left. I understand being stressed at work, but I do not understand trying to argue with customers. We were not angry that we had been waiting, and a simple "sorry for the miscommunication" on her end would have made this whole interaction fine. We tipped 20% when we had ordered, but if we could take that back and tip nothing we would. The food was alright, but I would never recommend this place to anyone.

This is one of my favorite places their bread and Deal is so good and they’re half solid now I am moved out of California. I’m here visiting online. It says they’re open till 5 PM. You get here and there’s temporary hours from 7 to 3. I pulled up at 3 o’clock doors are locked and they’re closed. Where am I going to get bread until at now? No I don’t want Panera bread. I want it Lavato so now I’m pretty upset and I think it’s pretty messed up. You guys got to have your hours updated online.

We couldn't get served at stagecoach, so we came across the street to La Bou, what a refreshing low key atmosphere. Food and service were top notch. I forgot how good La Bou was, I think you have a new customer!

Excellent food! We went right before they were closing, but they still had wonderful service. Thai pasta salad, spicy chicken soup, and Tuscan panini were great for a variety of sharing options. All were delicious! The bread that was included was so fresh! We tried the lemon berry muffin, too.... Fantastic!

Excellent everything. The service was excellent, the food was excellent, and the location is run exceptionally well. Let me recommend their croissants and blueberry filled croissants. Yum!
