Boulevard Bread Company

This was my first time eating a meal here, and I’m kicking myself! I should have been coming here for years. I simply had the «Breakfast Sandwich» this morning. It was around $ 6 after taxes. They brought it out in about five minutes to the table I was sitting at. It was absolutely delicious! Crispy pancetta, a fried egg, tomatoes, fresh greens, and aioli on this thin, delicious bread. Wow, I would eat this every day. I can’t wait to come for dinner soon!

IT WAS AMAZING.
Appetizers– We got the baked pimento cheese which came with seven slices of bread. Oh man it was amazing. We also got a cheese board which came with three cheeses, mustard, preserved oranges, fruits, those weird little pickles, almonds and rhubarb jam for $ 15. Worth it.
The service was also fabulous. They delayed our dinner order so that we could take out time. There were four of us so have two appetizers and four entrees was probably too much foods. I got the gnocchi with mushroom and onion cream sauce. It was magic. The mushrooms were big chunks and so tasty and tender. The onions were thinly sliced and delectable. The gnocchi were MASSIVE so it was important to cut them up! The only down side was that it was so rich, it was hard to eat all of it.
For dessert, we got 1 espresso and 2 macchiato. The espresso didn’t have any crema on it which was not good. The macchiatos were tasty.
Overall, it is a pretty penny to spend but it was worth it.

This place is my absolute favorite lunch spot! They have the BEST homemade soups that are different every day and ALWAYS delicious! Their sandwiches are AMAZING along with anything you get from this wonderful restaurant! I HIGHLY recommend! Local and fresh!

I used to eat here at least once a week and recommend this spot to everyone who asked for a good lunch spot. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case and here are a few «fixable» reasons why:
1. Service has declined significantly with the opening of the adjoining restaurant. The main issue seems to be a lack of enthusiasm to help from the hipster kids working. BBCo. has always employed «the cool kids», but the current crew lacks understanding of service that was once a central theme here.
2. Ordering lunch food «to go» happens at the counter where you pay for your order. But if you order lunch «pickup», you pay for it in the adjoining restaurant. That wouldn’t be much of a problem except it takes an average of 5 minutes longer of waiting before the bar tender can assist you in ringing up your order — defeating the purpose of calling ahead.
3. The food is still good, but there has seemed to be an increasing inconsistency among orders. At one point, you could rely on consistently well constructed soups, salads and sandwiches.

I was visiting Little Rock and needed early-​morning coffee and a little bit of breakfast. The granola and the blueberry muffin I had were absolutely amazing. Was probably the best blueberry muffin I’ve ever had actually. You walk in and it’s a pay at the register, seat yourself situation in the mornings. There is sign that makes me think it’s more of a restaurant style seating later in the day, which would be nice. Will go back!

Love Boulevard. I like to get a French baguette & they’ll slice it for you. Then go over to Burges for the turkey salad! I appreciate fresh food & pastries; good coffee plus food products you can buy. I love that they have St Andre cheese– smear that on a piece of baguette– it’s like butta.

Found a snail in my sandwich. So when I spoke with the manager she told me that they use fresh spinach on their sandwiches. That’s ok with me but that’s letting me know that the spinach wasn’t washed in the beginning. She offered me a gift card but I think I’m ok with not having it.

Ok. 5 stars.
I parked here not knowing and as I walked toward the street the nicest guy apologized and said parking was for Boulevard. I could see the bar and multiple beer taps through the open door so we said, «let’s eat here.» Kismet. The beer selection is perfect, the atmosphere pleasant, the service friendly and the food sublime.
Try the frites with curried ketchup, the crab cakes, awesome, we had ravioli and the duck. Oh. So. Good.

Why have decent food and a few underachieving staff working? How are they making tips by being rude? I suggest having secret shoppers come in and look at the feed back to consider looking into a solution for a lack of awareness and failure to want to even meet customers needs. I have Loved this place in the past but seriously, get over yourselves. I recently ordered the traditional pastrami and wonder what tradition it was inspired from. Both times the meat was cool. The 2^nd time I ordered I requested sauerkraut and if I might have the bread toasted and it was delivered as requested but the whole sandwich was cool, like temperature cool. What up with that? The staff seems great and upfront and earnest but sometimes one bad apple spoils the bunch. I’ll be back to try it again.
Look at choice city butcher in Ft. Collins for inspiration or even Zingermans in Ann Arbor to right this Pastrami wrong.

Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here, especially after gambling on a few other not-​so-​great options during my stay in Little Rock. I ordered a customized half sandwich, which surprise, was a full sandwich! They were eager to accommodate my special requests and the french onion soup was delicious! I will definitely eat here again if I’m ever in Little Rock and my only regret is not trying out any of the desserts/​baked goods.

Amazing cuisine and excellent service! My weekend treat often consists of the twin cakes. Crab and coconut. The crab cake has lump crab meat. Likewise, the placement on a bed of fresh greens highlights the succulent flavor. My happy ending is the coconut cake. This cake is truly moist and light with the perfect balance of coconut. Hope you enjoy the twins too!

I like this place OK. The guy at the counter seemed too busy to help me. It lacks the cozy feel I like in coffee shops

Food is better than Malvern subway but they don’t have Doritos. If you want your sandwich «toasted» in this fancy café, you ask for it to be «panini’d». Tres bon! Good-​natured service from white kids who are cooler than you. The employees’ tattoos and life prospects are better than the employees at the Malvern subway. Ask them about their band. Any of them. Out of focaccia.

I love boulevard but their startup as a full service restaurant in the last two weeks has had some issues.
First, in the first week they cut their wine pour by 2 ounces, but not the price. The wait staff said that the management said that their research showed a pour as 5 ounces vs the 7 ounces previously poured. Wow, that is lame.
They have cut back some hours as they were overwhelmed at the start. Some of the staff needs to be trained. Today we went for breakfast. The robot on the register just kept referring to the board versus talking through the options.
We left. There are some better places that appreciate the business in the Heights.
Hey, how about getting it together before you open your new restaurant you spent a ton on?

I’ve been eating here for over 10 years. The quality is as good as it gets for Little Rock. And I’m Avery picky eater and foodie.
food is top notch. Best breakfast pastries (chocolate croissant, cinnamon rolls, apple t/o)…great panini selection (Parma, goat, tuna). Best turkey SANGWICH in town… And the dinners are fantastic. Every night changes. Large gourmet cheese selection that goes great with their bread. (Which is used by many of the better restaurants in town). Gotta gotta try…

Boulevard, I miss you!!! Even years after moving to other states, coming back through Little Rock, I make sure to stop at Boulevard. Especially when searching for new good healthy places to eat in other cities, I think back to fail-​proof healthy quick delicious lunches at Boulevard. Thank you for being wonderful! Rock on!!! Definitely recommending this place (see photo of my favorite Greek salad platter — yummm!)

I always really liked the sandwiches

One of the most important restaurants in Little Rock. Also, the best coffee and bread in town.

Place is fantastic. All the fresh breads are amazing, cookies are great and the staff are super friendly… I’d recommend this place for everyone

LOVE this place! The food here is like what I found in Northern California wine country and gourmet eating abounds there! Wife and I were delighted to find mediterranean food like this here in AR! The sandwich’s, bread and cookies were amazing! We love the sourdough bread we bought for our dinner; not aware of anywhere else to get sourdough east of the Sacremento river!
