La Bou Bakery & Cafe ... I am told that LaBou is short for "la boutique boulangerie" by a special someone in my life who has lived in Sacramento all their lives that I trust completely with my life. This same person also introduced me to La Bou many years ago.
There was one in Roseville (Main St./Baseline Rd) many many years ago that has since had many businesses pass through and not really solidified. Anyway, during my many travels all around California, there are many choices of eatery's. I look for Veteran friendly places or employee types that if they offer Military or Veterans Discounts, will get a 5 Star review, but the food and service must still remain high and satisfactory with my visit. I promise that even if all the above are great but NO Military/Veteran support, 1 Star is deducted.
Anyway, on with the Review.... The employee (order taker) is awesome. As I walked through the door and was greeted with a friendly smile. Explanation of some of the specials and favorites where given. I selected the California Turkey. This has Turkey, Avocado, Romaine Lettuce, Roastrd Red Peppers, Cucumber and Mayo on specialty Walnut Bread. The shade of hue was a lite Purple /Brownish color of the Walnut Bread. The Bread was thick in appearance but with a fluffy soft chew to it. But be careful of the contents of the sandwhich wanting to slide out because the edges of where the crust meets the soft bread starts to crack and break away from it. The individual taste itself can be detected with each element of the contents as the Peppers where a little salted, a little Vinegary, the Avocado slices where a perfect.color and tasted that buttery consistency. While the Turkey, Romain Romain Lettuce and Mayo did their job to the perfect looking and might I add, tasty sandwhich. I recommend highly.
The surroundings are reminiscent of old style Cafe with the classic Bakery Case full of baked goods. The place was clean and people working behind the counter. I will give this location (La Bou), Carmichael a 5 Star review. Everything was great and the employee allowed a discount for honoring Military / Veteran. ~John
