Welcoming Staff and Fresh Lunch Spot
My experience was very positive. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the place itself felt very whole and fresh, making it a great spot to grab lunch. It's also a very nice cheese shop located right in the middle of downtown.

Incredible Food, Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant has been fantastic. The food is incredible, so much so that I come here almost everyday for lunch. The service is also excellent, with Hugo being on top of working the register. The atmosphere is also a 5-star experience.

Cute French cheese and sandwich shop
Go here! This is a super cute French cheese and sandwich shop. You can pick up picnic items like cheese, olives, crackers, chips, fresh salads, and sandwiches. I found them on MealPal. It's a French-style oasis in DTSF.

Unsanitary Food Preparation Concerns
My experience at this restaurant today was not the greatest. This was my second time grabbing lunch here, and unfortunately, my experience this time was not good. Both the cashier and the individual preparing my sandwich and salad were not wearing gloves. At no point did either individual wash their hands. Even if they did prior to my arrival, which I highly doubt, using gloves is essential when preparing food. Sadly, I will not be returning.

Thread in Kettle Chips, Disappointing Experience
I would love to give more stars, but for my first try at this shop, I can't for the following reason. I've stepped in and out of this establishment on more than one occasion but never bought anything. Until today. I decided to try their grilled cheese sandwich of the day and anxiously took it to my office to devour it. The wait was acceptable, the sandwich was good, but as I started to eat the kettle chips, I felt something stringy in my mouth. Dreading the worst, like a fallen hair, I pulled it out and examined it and discovered it was a thread. Thankful it's not a hair, but still unsettled that it was not something edible, I ate the salad cautiously. I thought about going back down to the cashier but since it didn't impact the sandwich I decided against it. At this point, I'm not sure I'll return. I think I've got to let it settle down before I think about a second go at it. If not for the string, I would have given a 5.

So Good Vegetarian Sandwich!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! While vegetarian sandwiches can be hit or miss, this one was sooo goood! The bread, the cheese, and the arugula were all perfect. I absolutely loved it!

Amazing Sandwich and Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I tried the Californien sandwich and it tasted amazing. Normally, I'm not a fan of cold sandwiches, but I absolutely loved this one. The habanero sauce provided just the right amount of heat, perfect for someone like me who enjoys spicy food. I also enjoyed the salad and the cheese curds I ordered as additions. Considering it's downtown SF, the price of $10 per sandwich is a great deal. The wait time was minimal, less than a minute, and my food was prepared instantly. I'm definitely planning on returning because their daily special sandwiches looked very appealing.

Enjoyable Sandwiches, Especially Toulouse
My experience at this restaurant was enjoyable, despite being a typical spot for white-collar workers. I found some nice sandwiches there. My absolute favorite, and a clear recommendation to anyone, is the TOULOUSE with duck breast and fig jam. The PARISIEN with aged cheese was a bit too dry due to the bread. The ITALIEN was good. I also suggest trying the grilled cheese sometime.

Life-changing grilled cheese!
My experience at La Fromagerie was absolutely life-changing! I discovered this gem on my last day in SF and had a grilled cheese that I can honestly say was incredible. My flight home was cancelled, which turned out to be a good thing because it gave me the opportunity to have a second round of their amazing food. Thanks so much!

Ignored by staff, disappointing experience
I walked into the restaurant, drawn in by the enticing smell of the cheeses. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by the staff's lack of attention. The two employees working there completely ignored me the entire time. They seemed more focused on attractive young blondes who entered after me. Even after those customers left, neither employee bothered to speak to me. I was prepared to purchase a bottle of wine to enjoy, but there was no point in doing so if I was going to be ignored.
