I used to frequent the Boulangerie during my lunch hour a lifetime ago in the late 1990's to early 2000's. t was a quick walk and one of my favorite sandwich shops. I went in this week, after over 20 years and the chicken salad is as good as I remembered, the French bread was even cut the same way, and the raspberry dessert? Amazing. Never change! Even though I don't work in the city anymore, I think I have a lunch place I need to frequent again :)

I took my wife out here for lunch, and it was a great little sandwich shop. I got the #17 roast beef. The sandwich was great, but my sauce kept squeezing out through the bread onto my fingers. The bread was my choice, so I can’t fault the cafe for that. The taste was good though. I wish the bacon had been more prominent, but all in all, still a great sandwich. My wife got the #21. It came with their homemade “raspbeñero” sauce. Which she said was sweet and didn’t really have a habañero kick to it. She also said there were more red onions than she expected. I love onions, so that was a plus in my book, haha. However, not many sandwich shops offer roast pork as a meat, and that was pretty good. All in all, we both finished our sandwiches, they were good food, and I, in no way, felt that I’d paid too much for what I received. They were full size sandwiches. The name may sound fancy, which usually means chintzy sized sandwiches, but they weren’t. They were pretty darn good. I didn’t feel the need to get anything extra to supplement the sandwich. I was satisfied. And I am anything but petit myself. Their selection was awesome too, it wasn’t just, “roast beef, turkey, etc.” You could tell they’ve thought things out. Boulangerie will definitely make it into our sandwich shop rotation.

Everytime I stop in for a pickup the employees are always polite to me and the food always smells, looks and tastes delicious. Sandwiches, soups, pasta salad...OOOUUEE 😋 This is a great spot for a quick lunch break in Franklin Square!
