Reviews for Le Pain Quotidien in New York, NY
Simply exceptional. As I walked past Le Pain Quotidien I gazed beyond its front and witnessed an spacious cafe with personality... and a long line. I noticed that there were three ways to get food: going to the fridge and picking up a sandwich or salad, usingtheir app or wait to be seated. Thankfully, this day I was able to obtain a table and what a wonderful experience it was! Theservice was top notch, the waiter balanced his tables with grace always keeping a steady momentum without rushing me whiletaking my time looking at the menu and its wonderful offerings. The food tasted as if experiencing a banquet in Mount Olympus.A fresh salmon perfectly seasoned, breads and mustards that I had only experienced when traveling in Europe and a macchiato thathit all the right notes from the right acidity, perfectly balanced with milk to the appropriate portion size. This slice ofheaven has a communal style of sitting, so keep that in mind if you're not comfortable sitting close to other people anddownload the app to pick up your banquet to go and enjoy it outdoors. If you're into Salmon words are not enough to describewhat you'll experience if you request it. Otherwise, treat yourself to a surprise from their menu. You won't be disappointed. Read more
Super cute rustic cafe next to Bryant Park. The classical music is calming, the coffee is amazing and the service is on point.... It gives you a sweet escape feeling to an upscale experience for great prices after a long day. Perfect for some peace or acoffee date. I definitely recommend you coming to check out this gem yourself. Read more
It was pretty good. We were sited right away and the service was good, a little rushed but for a place as busy as this it helps... thing move faster for everyone. The food was delicious and the coffee was just as good. I would recommend this place if you havethe time for a sit down breakfast. Read more
Food was pretty good but nothing to brag about. The servers seemed to get into a fight about who was going to serve our table... which resulted in about 20 minutes with neither coming to help. This obviously soured our experience unfortunately. Can?t beatthe location right up to Bryant Park Read more
While the location cannot be beat as it is right across the street from Bryant Park the food breakfast is a bit lackluster. I... chose to eat indoors and was hoping for a great breakfast. The coffee was very good and was an interesting cup to drink out of.I ordered the breakfast bowl and when I tried to order without sweet potatoes I was told the it was pre made, so it couldn?t becustomized. It was supposed to come with a sunny side up egg and what came out was a completely cooked egg with hard yoke whichmade the bowl a bit less appetizing because of the missing yoke. The one saving grace is the bread and danishes which lookamazing. I purchased a cheese danish for my partner and she said the lamination was very good. Not bad for a quick bit butexpect premade and not made to order food. Read more
With this restaurant just down the block from the hotel, we decided to give it a go before leaving the city. The dining room was... very nice with lots of community tables. The staff and service were a little wanting. For instance, we asked for the bread thatcame with a dish on two occasions but never got it. The steel cut oatmeal with walnuts was good but not great. I also understandthe mushroom quiche was a 7 of 10. The latte came out bland. It was fine for the experience but wouldn?t go back again. Read more
I loved it!!! Perfect place right across Bryan Park. The chilly soup was nice and hot. I had a ginger type of tea to warm me up,... just right... I love bread, so I felt in paradise. I'm definitely coming back here. Read more
I actually Love their bread and pastries but today, i took the decision to dine in at Bryant park branch for a brunch with my... brother. It was a sad blood boiling experience.!! At first, because it was early in the day, one of the staff had us seated inthe middle and I thought, we wanted somewhere in the corner which most tables on that side were empty .the staff then asked ustwice, what is the problem with this table? My nephew answered we didn't like it like it here and it was then he went away andreferred us to another staff. RUDE!! We then sat on our preferred table as it?s empty anyway and waited for few minutes untilsomeone took our order. Food was then served. However, There was no tap water offered, no spoon or stirring stick for ourcoffee, no knife to slice our food and staff never came back to check. We waited again for long time until i turned my headlooked for the staff and made a sign we need the bill.handed it to us.then another wait took place to wait for the staff untilwe decided to take the bill with us and paid it OTC .we were treated poorly!! Bad experience!! Never will i go back to dinein!!! It ruined our day!! Read more
