Fred - Boulogne-sur-Mer

Came here on a day trip. We literally came across it whilst walking through the town and so pleased we stopped. Their croque-monsieur and vegetable quiche were gorgeous and were warmed in their pizza oven. We had various pastries all of which were so fresh...More

very good but very large lack of friendliness of staff. It's a shame that the staff isn't friendly.

bof, nothing but the ordinary, point of sale of pastries. room not heated. Not even a sink to wash your hands and toilet another age!

a little break with a girlfriend, nice, quiet, and tasty corner with choice of pastries and cakes, or we can talk quietly.

a very regular client of the tea room aging from fred, I imagined that a good young blow would soon come to rejuvenate this establishment, quite reputed. It's the opposite that happened. the living rooms have disappeared for simple tables and chairs, the service on the floor is replaced by a almost self service, the cutlery and plastic dishes 1st prize have replaced the beautiful dishes, for hot drinks have passed to the version and quality automatic dispenser. and beautiful cakes but not fresh!!! But, but the price did not fall to the CONTRAIRE.Good courage for the staff to work in these conditions that demonstrate not the love and respect of the trade and the products that must be sacrificed on the altar of maximum profit. sad - many of us have not come again, a pity.

We decided to have breakfast in the cafe and queued up downstairs for a croissant and demi-baguette. When we had ordered the assistant told us that there was no butter or jam available. ???????? No butter in a bakery? No jam, when the shelves behind the counter had a display of different jams to buy? We protested that we were not going to eat dry bread and the assistant disappeared into the back of the store and returned with some butter on a plate and half a jar of jam, which we took upstairs, along with paper cups and tokens for the coffee machine. The bread and croissant were fresh and delicious, as was the jam, but the machine only dispensed a small amount of hot water for our tea (it also dispenses coffee and chocolate - there are no fresh drinks) so when the assistant came upstairs we asked her for a refill and were told that we would need to go back down to the shop and buy two more tokens. Nobody else was eating in the cafe and it seems that Fred is not bothered about the cafe side of the business when the take-away is so busy. In that case, they should give up running it altogether rather than provide such unsatisfactory service.

Lovely, clean and bright patisserie with cafe upstairs, and immaculate toilets. Choose your pastries, sandwiches, cakes etc downstairs in the shop then go upstairs and enjoy them with a drink and look out onto the square, perfect.

having the habit of taking a little lunch in love at fred to the etage with its service of small Viennese in plates, coffees,chocolates in real cup this day of September we will remember the welcome and really not terrible, the unfriendly seller and the we announce that the salon of the has changed that it was no longer the same and that it changed we We'll never come back to these damages the system before was really nice.
