Le Pain Quotidien

First time I went to a Le Pain Quotidien was in Bruges, Belgium. A year later we found one near us at Fashion Island, in Newport Beach. I've been multiple times to Le Pain Quotidien while in São Paulo. The service is consistently great across all units I've been to. The unit in LA, near UCLA, is quite nice. The service was fast, even though the place was full. Our server was friendly and attentive. As someone who avoids ultra processed foods, I appreciate the focus on wholesome and delicious dishes and drinks with careful selection of ingredients. I also find it quite nice to finish up a meal spreading a bit of jam on a slice of scrumptious bread. I love that they have jams around the restaurant for the costumers to help themselves. Vegetarian options: Mushroom and goat cheese omelet

Croissant au chocolate was with Nutella. I was disappointed. The latte they added vanilla flavor which I hate. The breakfast sandwich was fantastic. I liked it a lot. Summary nice try

We recently had breakfast here, it was very quiet and maybe 3 more tables were taken. Service is good and very attentive. Their waffle seemed premade. Their mushroom and gout cheese omelette was pretty tasteless. Their egg and avocado sandwich was absolutely tasteless. No salt on the table either. Their lentil soup was very good. They’re not kids friendly at all. No kids menu either. Kid-friendliness: Not kids friendly at all

Great food service! Thank you again for helping me on the phone after when I forgot something!

Best brunch I have had in a while!Gotta try the French Cream Donut.
