Le Pain Quotidien

This is a wonderful place to eat. They have a great rustic farm fresh atmosphere. They staff were very friendly and helpful on my visit. The food was so fresh, healthy and delicious. The lemon ginger honey was one of the yummiest new drinks I've had in quite a while! I would definitely recommend it as well as one of their tartines! All in all it is a great place in stop in for a quick pastry, breakfast or lunch!

Nice interior but only okay-ish food. Small meal size for its price, not a good value. Scrambled eggs were tasteless and extra bacons were so tiny they surely didn't worth the extra dollars. Coffee was good so as the french bread being provided. We also tried one of those huge cookies, it was great but a little too dry. Service was a little bit slow but kind. I wouldn't return for breakfast only for some pastry and coffee maybe.

Cute place to come for brunch or to have coffee with some kind of pastry. Portions seem small and there was no “side dish” option. Not a place to come when super hungry but everything was delicious. The Sunny Side Bowl had a fun mix of vegetables. The bread tasted fresh. The coffee was ok and you get your own little carafe of coffee and the cups have no handle. All I will say is...it’s something different. The waffle, although small and expensive for the size MYO, was like eating a perfectly moist light cake with a crunch on the outside. My friends called it an “old fashion donut waffle.” So good. The syrup was tiny but once you took a bite, you realize that you may even ruin it adding it on. It included whip cream, the texture of a thick and real fresh version of Cool Whip, and sliced strawberries. The mini pancakes were super cute and tiny bite size silver dollar shaped delights that sat under a snow of powdered sugar. I’m excited to return, not as hungry as today, and taste the Turmeric Latte.

Great breakfast items. A smidge pricey but I think they are well worth it. When you arrive you can just find a table and sit. Plenty to choose from and you can even modify the menu items. Customer service was good too. Try the lemon ginger tea and the turmeric tea. Both were quite phenomenal. Below is a quinoa bowl and steel cut oat meal with bananas. Enjoy!

Overall: Great place. This price French quinine is well prepared and the ingredients are top notch. The staff is professional... but not warm. French! It’s pricey and the seats by the windows really enable you to take in Old Town Alexandria.

This restaurant has quality meals and delicious pastries. I had the pleasure of enjoying a pad Thai zucchini noodle salad, which is pictured, and a mini lemon tart. Although it was a bit expensive for a quick-service style restaurant, the staff kindly informed us of the impending closing time and began cleaning without disturbing us.

Very polite and attentive waiter. Absolutely adorable atmosphere, it was like walking into a French bakery. Food and coffees were delicious and price was reasonable.

Was there for a private breakfast event on the 2nd floor. The location was good and easy to park. The breakfast was very good and plenty of food. I would definitely consider hosting an event there the next time I’m in the Virginia/DC area.

Nice relaxed place for lunch. Good healthy food choices. Great service; they accommodated adding smoked salmon to my warm grain bowl. My only complaint was that the price was a bit high for the style and feel of restaurant.

Great vibe, great food, great service. Stephani was very patient as my husband and I navigated the menu. She recommended the mushroom and goat cheese omelet which was so yummy. Don’t skip the pot of coffee.
