Don’t be inconsiderate…there is no tip jar, but they accept tips. The staff work hard for the customers and I see them being very kind to demanding people.
Enjoy your delicious pasteries, cakes, pies and breads and leave a little dough behind for the staff.
From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked artisanal bread and pastries hits you — and it only gets better from there. Locals rave about the amazing variety and exceptional quality of everything from classic sourdough loaves and baguettes to delicate pastries like kouign-amann and seasonal galettes. The team behind the counter is consistently described as friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful, even when the line gets long — which it often does! Many reviewers note that despite the crowds, the taste and craftsmanship make every visit worth it. Whether you’re grabbing a flaky croissant for breakfast or bringing home bread for dinner, this bakery delivers top-tier baked goods every time.
I do wish the service area was larger as it can be overwhelming with customers and access to self serve is where people wait.
I do not like feeling rushed and a favorite term by attendants is “anything else????”— it’s like, “lady, I just got here and there’s five people standing in front of the case
There’s no seating and no service… I just wish they had a café setup!
Sometimes people line up. Sometimes people line up. There are a few parking spots in front of the store and along the street.
You might have to wait in a line on weekends, especially in the morning.
They carry both regular and savory pastries and have seasonal specials throughout the year. If you are a first time, try the custard flan croissant, it is very, very good.
Unfortunately only for takeout.
This Place has no seatings available, nothing. Not even utensils nor napkins.
I wish they would add outdoor seating.
Parking is somewhat limited but customers are going in and out quickly.
But this is HEAVEN for all carb connoisseurs.
Most of the building seems to be dedicated to (1) on-site equipment and (2) a small storefront where goods are prettily displayed behind a glass wall. And then a teeny, tiny area where you stand in line and salivate as you await your turn. Trying to decide what to get is difficult, since you don’t get to see what’s actually available until you get to the front of the line, and then you have to make some quick decisions while the rest of the line waits and harrumphs behind you.
I’ve had a ton of their croissants (the regular was flaky and delicious, the almond tasted like millions of almonds died in the making of it, and the flan was just as if a plate of flan and croissant had a baby). The beloved kouign-amann is a croissant-like flaky pastry with a creme brûlée crackling top. The monkey bread is hopelessly moreish. Suffice it to say, I’ve been eating my way through Balthazar little by little, and nothing has disappointed.
If you’re in the area and consider yourself a lover of bread or pastry, this is a must-visit. Parking is extremely limited, but there’s a high turnover rate of cars since most people are leaving right after they purchase. Lines can be long, but move pretty quickly.
