In 1981, the first La Bou store opened its doors.
It was an astounding success.
Each day hundreds of eager customers would line up, sometimes even in the rain, for a chance to purchase owner Trong Nguyen's handmade croissants.
Since those early days, La Bou Bakery Cafe has expanded to 26 company-owned stores and franchised units all serving delectable croissants and strong, aromatic espresso drinks, in addition to pastries, soups, salads and sandwiches.
Inspired in 1988 by the success of La Bou, Trong
Nguyen collaborated with chef Mai Pham to launch Lemon Grass
Restaurant, a full service restaurant featuring the exciting
and vibrant cuisines of Vietnam and Thailand. Mai's innovative approach
to cooking, coupled with her efforts in food writing and teaching
has earned Lemon Grass the reputation of being one of the
best southeast Asian restaurants in the United States. For more
information about Lemon Grass, visit lemongrassrestaurant.com.
In 1990, La Bou joined forces with Capricorn
Coffees, a notable and respected San Francisco roaster and
purveyor to restaurants and retail outlets throughout the country
for over 45 years. Please visit capricorncoffees.com

In 1999, we made it possible to enjoy La Bou in
the convenience of your workplace when we began La Bou Delivers,
catering to the business community. Let us bring La Bou to you!
