Just out of curiosity, are the macaroons from La Farine the French-style ones (i.e. macarons) or ones with coconut? I remember seeing them at the store a long time ago and they looked like chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons, and... (6 replies, last updated by rworange April 23, 2008)

at the Rockridge location. The quality is quite high, well-made pastries. If you like La Farine on College and/or Solano, you’ll like this one. It is a blessing and a curse to have high quality pastries in the Dimon district... (1 reply, last updated by milklady November 27, 2007)

Chocolate cupcake – moist but not too moist. Just the right texture. Topped with pink lightly raspberry flavored buttercream. One perfect fresh raspberry on top. A plus, a little bit of raspberry jam (made by La Farine) in... (1 reply, last updated by thasker July 6, 2005)

Had the white chocolate espresso tartelette. Was good as usual. Not too chocolatey and not too coffee. The consistency is just right, not goopy and not soupy. The crust is just right, not too hard and not too soft, and tastes... (3 replies, last updated by lmnopm January 24, 2007)

listing on Chowhound is a Fruitvale Ave location?! Not only have I never heard of it, the La Farine website claims its goods can only be purchased at the store on College Ave. (Perhaps their website is out of date?! Or is someone... (8 replies, last updated by gobears87 January 17, 2008)

I don’t think anyone has posted that La Farine's Solano Avenue branch is open. It’s got the same great bread and pastries as the Rockridge branch. It’s on the southwest corner of Solano and Colusa (in a new... (8 replies, last updated by soyarra July 24, 2006)

I was excited to see a sign for La Farine bakery in the window of the new building on Solano (near Colusa). There was a table for La Farine at the Solano Stroll, where I learned that they hope to open in January or February.... (5 replies, last updated by Nathan Landau September 18, 2003)

Hi everyone. Are there any recommendations for Thanksgiving dessert from La Farine? I read on some other posts that the pumpkin pie is very good, but I’m wondering if anyone has tried any of their other tarts or galettes... (0 replies, last updated by ebgirl70 November 24, 2008)

those in the U.S. With that in mind it was especially nice to stop into La Farine three saturdays ago after a three year absence to find the morning buns as excellent as those Lilly made lots (how many?) of years ago.In fact with... (7 replies, last updated by wally July 21, 2008)

I kept hearing about how great La Farine's baguettes were, so to go with a big spread of cheeses yesterday I supplemented our standard Acme rustic sweet baguettes with La Farine's regular and rustic sweet baguettes. No contest,... (6 replies, last updated by Robert Lauriston April 25, 2006)

Stopping by Farmer Joe’s today, I noticed that a La Farine had opened in the Dimon District on Fruitvale, right across the street from the new Farmer Joe’s (and two doors down from the new Pete’s). The facility... (1 reply, last updated by DezzerSF October 20, 2007)

I’m thinking of ordering it at Crixa. However, given that Masa and La Farine are actually French, perhaps they are the better choice. Anyone else tried them? Lower on my list is DeLasio, only because it is across the... (2 replies, last updated by Niki Rothman December 17, 2005)

Man does not live by chocolate tart alone. I was up in Rockridge on an errand and stopped in at La Farine. I bought the last little fig and berry tartlet and I just inhaled it. Quite the nice dessert (pre dinner). The tart was... (8 replies, last updated by RodW October 18, 2006)

than the other La Farine shops I’ve been to (Rockridge and Dimond), so it seems like they could have set up ovens in the back if they wanted to. Seems like a decent addition to the neighborhood in any case, as I don’t... (0 replies, last updated by abstractpoet October 11, 2009)

I’m not into ginger in my sweets, but my husband loves it. On Saturday, we checked out La Farine and Bakesale Betty. I bought a ginger cookie at each place for him to compare. Husband says La Farine's is better. Theirs is a... (19 replies, last updated by sammygogo January 23, 2008)
