La Boulange Noe Valley

3898 24th Street
Phone: 415-821-1050
Status: Opened this morning.
Today's the day for the latest (and purplest) branch of La Boulange's ever-expanding empire, and it's funny how much fuss a little bakery/cafe can generate. For the most part, the Noe Valley location—on the corner of 24th and Sanchez—is the same as the other Boulanges sprinkled throughout town, and like some of them, it serves beer and wine too. Initial hours are 7AM to 7PM. Now which neighborhood gets a La Boulange next? Best odds are Laurel Heights, FiDi (#2) and the Inner Sunset; long odds on the East Bay, Glen Park and Potrero. Place your bets.
