La Baguette


Perfectly sliced, little pieces of delicious French bread. While home in Memphis, Marion, Lauren, and I decided to go to La Baguette for lunch. Lauren was worried about running late, but Marion and I had no problem just waiting for her while eating this bread and butter. It's so simple but so scrumptious. However our plan to gorge ourselves on bread was foiled by the horrible service. There were plenty of empty tables but none were cleared. No matter how bad the service is we always still love La Bag.



The Spicy Tomato Soup is always a favorite of mine. It includes a perfect blend of spices and a slice of cheese that melts in the soup and your mouth as you're eating. The bowl is enough for a meal but the cup size is always enjoyed with a sandwich. There is never a time when I come to La Baguette and do not order the spicy tomato soup. Also, how can you not resist dipping the slices of bread into the soup?!


Lauren and I decided on the bowl of Spicy Tomato for this La Bag Lunch.









Marion ordered a ham and cheese (I think?) on croissant. The pimento cheese on croissant is also a popular choice. Oftentimes, they have sandwich, soup, and dessert specials for a ridiculous price of $7.50. Unfortunately, the only sandwich special I like is the turkey. Although hardly ever ordered, the desserts here are so delicious. I fell in love with chocolate croissants and raspberry napoleans here. I was spoiled living in Paris for 7 months and eating delicious French pastries whenever I wanted. La Bag desserts don't really compare, but they are still delicious. And it was at this very place where I fell in love with French bread and French desserts.
