Was a weird experience. Cashier seemed annoyed I took more about 15 seconds to decide what I wanted while no one else was around at the time, no one standing in line or anything. Then handed me my item and went about whatever they were doing without any acknowledgement or thanks. Okay food, not anything quite mentionable. Just seems like the 2 people there weren't thrilled to be there by any means.

The bread is not that great specifically the baguettes and the French pastry. The pie are great though.

NOT authentic. VERY meh American pastries🫤🥐 If a place calls itself a patisserie or a boulangerie, it better have near real French standards.
This, does not.
The chocolate croissant was a typical run of the mill American bready version, see pic😕
How disappointing; there’s no truly good bakery in this area! That is, for those who know what a good bakery/patisserie/lingerie is😉

La Farine is a charming, French-inspired bakery that never disappoints. The pastries are beautifully made and consistently delicious—especially the morning buns, croissants, and fruit tarts. Their bread selection is top-notch too, with fresh, crusty loaves baked daily. The staff is friendly, the space is cozy, and everything feels made with care. A true neighborhood gem!

Great local bakery. The fruit tarts are fantastic; fresh beautiful fruit, great crust, and not overly sweet. Staff is always so pleasant!

Try the Burger Bun! It isn't the first kind of thing you'd associate with La Farine, but it is fantastic. Sesame(?) seeds, just a bit of sweet, solid body and crust and holds it's shape well. I'm from Jersey and thought I'd never find anything that would make up for the lack of a good Kaiser Roll for a burger out here, but this is it!
So yummy! The mini cupcakes are delicious 🤤 such high quality

This location has fewer selections (both quantity and variations) than the one on College but they do have a bread slicer here which is a huge plus for me
I love their fruit tarts!!

French bakery with good variety of fresh pastries and cakes. This location has decent amount of indoor seating. Good variety of freshly brewed coffee to enjoy with your pastry. Veggie options available. Flat entry with wide navigation makes it accessible.
Good for kids, groups, couples and meetup.
Ordered a gateau du printemps cake (coconut cake layered with lime mousse) for pickup - the flavors were on point, but the texture of the cake was dry and crumbly. A bit disappointing for such a well-known bakery and pricey cake!
Heart!!!!!
Great place to get coffee and pastries.
Delicious cake!
