Le Pain Quotidien

We went here while visiting the winter village at Bryant Park. The service was decent, very cut to the chase but not rushed or rude. I ordered the pumpkin spice iced coffee since they make the pumpkin spice syrup there. It was okay, kinda small and a bit sweet. For Brunch we ordered the egg and cheese on brioche and the salmon on an everything croissant. Loved the salmon sandwich, the egg and cheese was basic in its taste and delivery. Many other items I saw arriving at tables looked nicely put together, just not sure on their taste since this was our first time. The prices were not terrible given you’re in mid town Manhattan so that was a plus. Everything considered, we’d only go back to try some pastries if we go back to Bryant Park..but not much is TRULY calling us back.

This was a great spot for breakfast, great food options and very tasty. The staff is really nice! We were a table of 8 (4 adults + 4 kids) so our order came in different intervals, however the food was nice. The tea is not that great (it comes in a big 500ml paper cup) however the Danish pastries are lovely and the egg choices are great). A little pricey but then again it's in the heart of New York... Nice experience overall.

Had a lovely Saturday breakfast here with friends. It's pretty inside! Lots of breads and baked goods - unfortunately very limited for gluten free. (Bakery cafes should offer gf bread or source gf pastries; have some pity for those of us who get sick from gluten! There is a macaroon on offer which I ordered and enjoyed.) Latte was delicious and our server was friendly. : )

This decoration and lighting are what I like. The location is very good and the transportation is very convenient. The brownie cake is well made, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, very authentic. The large latte is great, a large cup is like a small bowl. Will continue to patronize next time!

Le Pain Quotidien — Great service and friendly staff. Tasty and quick breakfast, ideal stop before heading to the airport. Fresh options, calm atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

The pastries are all freshly backed and delicious. Also tried breakfast croissant with smoked salmon, very good! The interior is a bit outdated, but it is right in front of Bryant Park, you can get a take out and enjoy it outside. They also offer table service inside and high top tables for self-service inside and a few seats outside.

It is definitely a hip and overpriced place, but nevertheless they serve really good chocolate mousse, and absolutely great lemonade - neither is too sweet, which is very unusual for the US, as most Americans routinely oversweeten everything.

Across from Bryant Park, Le Pain served a smooth Iced Vanilla Latte! I had a DELICIOUS Banana chip & Chocolate croissant like creation.. YUMMY!! Also the Cheese Danish was a sweet pastry made from a rich, flaky, buttery dough layered with a sweet, tangy, and creamy cream cheese filling. Would like to try breakfast next time!
