Reviews for L'ACAJOU Bakery and Cafe in Oakland, CA
No gluten free option In 2022, most people should be able to come into your place and get a single wheat-free pastry or... sandwich or alternative. If you can't offer that, then I give one star There's very good gluten free flower options these daysand other bakeries will sell things to you as well Happy to reasses later Read more

Cute little spot perfect for a post hike break. Got a very gooey chocolate croissant and chai. Outdoor seating with a bowl for... dogs. Read more
Went right at 8 am when they opened and had the best almond croissant I've ever had. It was still warm because it was so fresh.... This was a great pit stop after a morning hike in the park near by. Read more
I'm updating my review because I have been going here for two years now, and it is one of my favorite places. The food is... really, really delicious. Lately I've been getting their veggie quinoa bowl with the Dijon mustard dressing. So yummy! Also,please bus your table! ???? Read more

Meh. The tables inside were dirty and hadn't been wiped down. No, no one was sitting at them. The girl at the front said hi so... that was chill. An elderly lady had asked a worker to come check out flooring was coming up (I watched her trip over it) and thegirl was kind of short about it without acknowledging her. She said, "the floor? Yeah, I know. The owner knows." As she walkedaway. It was just rude. Like if the owner knows...fix it. Close that part off so someone doesn't fall and get hurt and you don'tget sued for it? Come on. I just came first a bagel but didn't see any on the menu so I grabbed a BLT sandwich. $13 + 20% tipon a take out...and there were only 3 slices of bacon on the sandwich. Kind of whack. I think its a spot you come to if yougrew up around this block or if you're needing convenience, but I wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't stop there again. Read more
I have been here when they recently opened this cafe/bakery everything was so good including the kind crew who were baking... things and managing the restaurant. Today I had a very bad customer service and the food was very bad too. Hamburger beef wassomething like fast food restaurant, bread french toast smells meat. Potatoes that comes with omelette at least a day old andhas the same meat smell. I went to the counter and told them this and response was "yeah we use the same grill for everything"!?Even I told them I can not eat the bread they didn't replaced it. If you are a good cook and you are using the same grill foreverything then you would intuitively know meat would be the last on that grill. Vegetarians vegans have no choice here unlessyou like that meat smell on your French toast potatoes and even bread. Everyone working here is very rude and very spoiled Idon't understand why people go eat here and pay $66 and above for 4 people when you have better options like Rick and Ann s,Fournee etc. They are not a bakery for sure everything was at least a day old and chewy and they were out of plain croissant at9 am on Saturday, when you don't bake those you say we don't bake plain croissants here. I regret going there again and won't goback and waste my money again for sure. Even an average breakfast place like Montclair egg shop is better than this overratedplace. In addition to all these we cleaned up the table ourselves tables were not clean. And while we were leaving a spoiled andrude staff yelled behind us "you should clean your stuff" is it my mom talking to me like that, even so it would be a very rudemom. Read more
