Sehr gutes Baguette. Auch der Kaffee war ausgezeichnet.

I came here for breakfast with a friend. The egg skillet I got was okay, I feel like it was too simple for the price. The iced coffee I got was okay too, a bit watery. It wasn’t bad, but i don’t believe I’ll come here again. Good location though! And the atmosphere was cute.

We have been coming here for years and years. The service odd unfailingly friendly and accommodating. The food is very tasty and the location can’t be beat. It’s a wonderful place to relax and watch the world go by.

What a lovely place for brunch!
Servers are attentive, and the food is delicious ?. Had a great quiche, and my ice tea lemonade was refreshing. Ordered some pastries to go.

Ne faites pas la même erreur que moi, j’ai acheté un pot de brunette qui n’était pas scellé et qui était sec sur le dessus. La boutique n’a rien voulu savoir. Ce n’est pas de leur faute, si cela n’est pas scellé soi-disant. Aucun geste commercial

We used to dine there frequently when we lived on the East Coast, so we were excited to find one in our new neighborhood. Just last week, we ordered takeout from there. I shared the lentil soup with my husband, but a few hours later, we both experienced extreme nausea, followed by vomiting.

The only other food we ate that day was shared with the rest of the family, and they were completely fine. This made us quite certain that the soup was the cause. To prevent a similar incident, we called the restaurant the next morning and spoke with someone who identified as the manager. We explained the situation, hoping they would address the issue to avoid further contamination.

However, the response we received was disappointing. The manager only mentioned that there is a staff member eats the soup daily, so he would check with them. He didn’t ask for our names, contact information, or even offer a simple, “I hope you feel better.” no follow up.

We understand that things like this can happen, but the lack of care and concern in how they handled the situation was disheartening.

Le Pain Quotidien has a great vibe to it, with indoor bench seating, to outdoor seating covered in umbrellas. It can get very busy and lively here, and it makes for great people watching if you sit outside. The food and customer service is a bit hit or miss. Some days service is quick, other days you need to get up to grab someone. The food falls in the same category - I've had amazing food there and then decent food. On the flip side, the beverages are fantastic. This place has organic and handmade bread, and the bread is delicious.

Pro tip - if you like hot chocolate, do yourself a favour and order the one here. It's amazing!!!

Decent but not anything special for the price. They have a great outdoor seating area, but the chairs are pretty uncomfortable and it wouldn’t hurt to add some covers. I ordered the bacon and scallion skillet which was small and the eggs were overcooked. I also had the homemade lemonade and iced tea which was pretty good but nothing to come back for. I also had multiple servers but none at the same time. They never came to check on my food and after sitting for awhile after finishing I had to wave someone over for my check.
