It's good, but quite overpriced considering neighboring options and their waste. Avoid scones and croissants, dry like sand. The buns are good.
Good options. Fresh bread. Cant go wrong. Street Parking is close to the shop and in front of it if you’re lucky!
La Farine is a stand out bakery with tons of amazing baked goods, as well as pies & tarts. Their baguettes, round loafs and petite olive bread loads are deelish! Their fruit tart is a favorite in our family, as well as their cinnamon morning buns. They even come in mini-size. They also take cash money as well as cards. Love this bakery, always a treat to visit while in the Rockridge.
I had purchased some pastries there and one of them had a foul taste, like eggs that had spoiled or been outside warm for a while. Unfortunately it was too late and the bite I had got to me a hour later. Will not go here again. Foul
We love their European-style baguette and bread, as well as the tartelettes. They also have very reasonable prices.
Here is one of the best traditional French bakeries in the bay area. The repertoire of French tastes is excellent. It can be crowed and they run out of some items fast. So pick your timing well.
Wow I'm here to buy a fruit tart for my best friend's bday and saw that they have chocolate mini cupcakes so I bought one to try. I'm crying right now cuz I only bought one. Should've bought the whole store. Ps this is my first review.
The best bakery / patisserie in Berkeley. I love their croissant, morning bun, brioche, baguette and sourdough a lot. Falling love with them 36 years ago when I first move to this area. Went back to them for a good croissant has become a regular routine in the last 10 years since I’ve moved to other cities. Surprisingly, their flavors and service are all the same as always. Worth to go extra miles and pay the expensive toll fee to cross the Bay Bridge for the quality.BTW, they make great pies with fresh seasonal fruits from the area, like persimmon, figs, kiwi etc.. And, it’s all good!
This is an awesome bakery! Everything here is so fresh. The guy at the counter was so nice. Feels like your neighborhood bakery where I could go everyday and be happy with anything I pick. I got a chocolate croissant. So good with coffee!
One of my happiest [European pastry] places on earth. We just need one of them in Sacramento too, because everything about La Farine is fantastic.
