We’re a Belgian bakery and restaurant serving simple, wholesome and seasonal food. Le Pain Quotidien means “the daily bread” in French, and like our name suggests, we’re bakers at heart. Although our handmade, organic bread is how we got our start, we serve a variety of healthy options like organic coffee, pastries, eggs, tartines, soups, salads and desserts.
At Le Pain Quotidien, we believe that food should be simple, nourishing and delicious. That’s why we source ingredients that are local or organic whenever possible. We also believe in the importance of eating a healthy, plant-based diet, so you’ll find many vegetarian or vegan options on our menu.
Classic light fare & organic breads fill out the menu at this rustic-chic bakery/cafe chain. Based on 133 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.9 stars. Price $$

Very yummy meal! Everything tasted delicious and very fresh. Decent prices, even though portions are not huge they are very filling. Loved the lemonade. Quick service. Good vegan/vegetarian options. I’ll even tell you a secret—we ate right before closing and the person working the bakery was so kind as to give everyone I was dining with a free pastry! Would certainly eat here again.

I just wanted to send a quick note thanking you guys! Lately, I’ve been ordering from LPQ a lot, almost everyday actually lol and today I ordered an iced mocha and a few pastries (which are always delicious!). But todays order came with quite a few extra pastries and muffins and cookies! I’ll attach a picture with my review, but it was such a nice surprise and things like this that show customer appreciation are so seldom done nowadays that I just had to write a review thanking them in return. Thank you guys so much! You made my day

We visited the Philip Johnson Glass House and stopped at Le Pain Quotidien after our tour for lunch.

The place is okay. For the kind of food, its definetly not worth the price. The food is kinda bland. We were extremely hungry when we went there and were disappointed with the food.

Apparently you can’t change the seats even for a few minutes at this branch – otherwise you will be given harsh instructions to go back to your seat NOW –

I tried the buckwheat banana bread- phenomenal. So was the noir spread, which seems healthier than store bought chocolate sauce options- And it tastes amazing. Fat content was relatively low too. The sourdough bread is always excellent.

The runner up kisha Harris and her 2 floor employees and the cooks did an amazing job handling over 200 customers on a holiday and it’s only 2pm They work so good together under pressure you wouldn’t believe it

Sad service at a usually good chain. We are fans of La Pain and usually have a good experience. This branch is decent during the week, but avoid the weekend staff. Rude, dismissive and no regard for our Covid concerns. Mixing our soups around when we asked for them to be served warm not cold. And lowering her mask to eat with her hands while wrapping up cutlery, no regard for our safety.
