La Bou
945 Howe Ave, Sacramento, CA
Crema's Take
“This Sacramento spot has earned devotion across multiple locations for its genuinely sweet staff and thoughtfully crafted drinks, from silky Thai tea to specialty matcha creations paired with quality pastries. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming—perfect for a slower coffee experience where you can linger without feeling rushed, though fair warning that their selection can be a bit modest and closing time is enforced promptly. Reasonable prices and consistently good quality make this an easy neighborhood favorite worth checking out.”

I love all their locations. At this location they are super sweet. i’ve never had a bad experience with this location. I’ve asked for a sample of their Thai tea just to make sure that if it’s what I like and they’ve done that. The dill dip that they have is super super good. I have never had a steel baguette from them either. Highly recommend the Dill dip!!!!! If they run out of baguettes, get the croissant to dip them
Staff is friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable. Selection seems to always be a little lacking. Quality of food, bakery items and coffee drinks is good. Usually a few customers, not overly business, but not empty. A great alternative to the big chain coffee, bakery restaurants.
I went to this place to have breakfast with my girls do a little bonding. I thought let's check this place out give them a little of our money. The food was mid employee at the cash register was so very disconnected almost to the point of being rude. I did enjoy the company I was with that was the only highlight. We order things that they forgot. Like if we order a croissant with 2 meats they forgot to add bacon even though we paid for it. I don't see me going back to this location. You have to ask for everything. Salt, pepper, ketchup, jam ect. It just was not a good experience.
Came in at 3:05 PM and they instantly said JUST SO YOU KNOW WE CLOSE AT 3:30 SO EVERYTHING IS TO GO. I asked if they would really kick us out before 3:30 and they were still pretty rude so just left. Pretty bad business.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5-Star Review for La Bou I had such a wonderful experience at La Bou! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the customer service was absolutely top-notch. The cashiers and staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making customers feel at home. A special shoutout to Elizabeth and Grace — their kindness, professionalism, and positive energy made my visit stand out even more. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right! And let’s talk about the seasonal coffee — the Pecan Maple Latte was incredible! Perfectly balanced, smooth, and full of cozy fall flavor. It’s definitely one of the best seasonal drinks I’ve had anywhere. Thank you, La Bou, for such a pleasant and delicious experience. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! ☕🍁👏and Dog friendly here 🐕🦺 pup cups at request 🧁
