David T: Try the French Onion Soup - Delicious and (I think) vegetarian.

Vihang Mehta: All the souffles are fantastic. The french onion soup is delicious and bonus, it’s completely vegetarian!!
Shadi Mehraein: Every course is a souffle! Love it...want to try it..but I heard it can take a while
James Yu: Order a souffle, any souffle. They are sublime. Start with a savory and end with a sweet one. You can't go wrong. Be prepared to eat for at least one hour, so avoid awkward dates.
Melissa Dagdagan: The La Combo (half sandwich/half soup or salad) is perfect, esp when you want to try more than one thing. The open faced tuna melt with french onion soup was amazing! I got lucky and they gave me sala
Katelyn Buttaro: La Boulange is a chain, but it is a good one. Fast service and good food. If I am in a rush, I usually go for the packaged sandwiches-- the veggie one is great, tons of avocado and housemade hummus!
Ailene Sankur: Thick greek yogurt with honey, granola, and fresh fruit. Latte in the bowl. Sit outside (dog optional).
