Crema's Take
“Basque Boulangerie Café built its reputation on exceptional pastries and fresh-baked bread—the croissants, morning buns, and flaky pie crusts genuinely stand out—but recent reviews show inconsistency and service slowness, especially for made-to-order items, and there's real disappointment among longtime customers following a recent ownership change. If you're stopping by for grab-and-go pastries or bread, you'll likely be happy; if you're sitting down for a full meal or ordering something custom, expect uneven execution and potentially long waits. The 3.8 rating reflects a place that does one thing very well but struggles with everything else.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Very nice experience on both mornings, love the fresh croissants. Pistachio cheesecake is good. Photo is egg bacon panini, also glad I try their cheese stick. It's the only one shop spell my name correctly!
I just found out this Cafe has been Sold! It's no longer Owned by the Original Family. I was very Disappointed that My Order of Clam Chowder To Go Cup was Cold! The Presentation was very good. It did come with Delicious Sour Dough Toast. My only "Disappointment" was the Clam…
