Le Pain Quotidien

Food is amazing and a variety of choices for all dietary needs, including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. Friendly atmosphere where locals eat. Service a little distracted but in fairness the place was packed.

Absolutely wonderful!!! The environment is calm and welcoming. The customer service is phenomenal, they always have the customer first in mind. The food was beyond delicious. It could not have been more perfect! I would gladly come back anytime just to experience this restaurant again. HIGHLY recommend!!!

I recently had a very bad experience here. It started out well, with an attentive waiter placing me at the large table in the middle of the room. However, the second waiter who took the order simply forgot about it. After people sitting left and right from me who had arrived considerably later got their food (some of them ordered the same dish that I had ordered), I complained to the waiter. He simply responded that this could happen in the rush over lunch. No apology, no freebie. LPQ is always a hit or miss, in our experience largely depending on the management of the particular place and their hiring luck respectively. This one is a definite miss! Avoid as their are plenty if other good to great options around Bryant Park.

The lower rating is due to price value and poor service. The food was tasty but paying $30 and getting a couple eggs, bacon and bread and coffee for breakfast I expect to get a lot more. The place was mostly full but not overpacked. The wait staff ignored questions mid order and just walked away not just from me but i saw it at other tables too. Waiters rarely returned to the tables. When they did there was never any cordiality. They rushed off before you could request anything else. It took about 45 minutes to get these eggs and bacon after ordering. I saw tables around mine getting quite impatient with the food times and lack of service. Even an expensive place in nyc would have cost $10 less than this and have given more food. All that being said I did enjoy the ambience. The place seemed clean and well lit. The coffee was robust and flavorful.

decent coffee and mediocre food in over priced, noisy, pseudo-hip environment with bad service
