Ham and gruyere sandwich was very good, lemonade was fresh, and the French Cream Doughnut was also yummy. Maria was our server, and service was attentive but not at all intrusive.Would definitely go here again for breakfast or lunch

3/18/24Updated to add:Stephen, VP of Operations, personally reached out to me via phone and email. We had a good conversation and positive outcome from this unfortunate experience. I thank him for his response.My hope is that the company will fix their website order form so that ordering is more user friendly, reflects better accuracy to prevent errors like this, and aligns with other restaurants of this caliber.I am pleased with the outcome of an unfortunate experience and will not be out $233.The company did not ask I modify the review. I did it because it's the right thing to do when a company does everything they can to right wrongs.---3/16/24We unfortunately did not get to taste the food but I bet the Uber driver that the restaurant used to third-party deliver it enjoyed the $233 worth of bakery items. When I ordered directly from the bakery's website, there was no indication of them hiring Uber Eats to deliver the food at the time of the order.Be warned that when you order directly from the company's website, not only is the website order page not user friendly, it doesn't auto-populate addresses which resulted in an address error therefore us not getting our order. I did include the name of the hotel we asked for the food to be delivered since the address bar didn't auto populate. The order form page needs to be fixed to reflect the user-friendliness of other website order forms.We did not order directly through Uber Eats but this was the delivery service chosen for us by the restaurant.We've been given the run around thus far about what to do with our order that the Uber driver didn't return to the store nor delivered to us. The restaurant told us that once it's out of their hands, they can't do anything and to contact Uber. Uber says that it's not their fault and to contact the restaurant.I'm sure the food here is great but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully resolve will happen soon with the general manager. I think this could be remedied in the future for other customers by tightening up and fixing the website's order form to make it auto populate addresses so exact locations of hotels, business, and other named addresses auto populate when you put in the name of the location. Also, give more accurate delivery times. For example, do not have an 8am delivery slot available if you open at 8am and actually cannot deliver until 9am. Also, the way the layout is for ordering items could be more user friendly. In the meantime, I am out $233.

This cute restaurant really left me unsatisfied. My friends and I came here for a weekend lunch and were perplexed by the staffing situation. The restaurant has you order with waiters at your table; however, these waiters were nowhere to be found during our meal. They don't circulate or check on tables really at all. Why do you have a counter if you don't do counter service? The food underwhelmed, to put it lightly. I shouldn't have paid $15 for a half sandwich with a completely undressed salad. And a $15 basket of stale bread and barely any butter? That was a huge letdown. I won't be back here.

I was walking by and saw this French cafe and decided to stop by for a hot chocolate and a cookie, I had a great experience from the service to the food. The next day I decided to stop by again since I got a great experience, however I got a whole different service, they didn’t want to serve the chocolate in mug because they did not want to wash it later, only paper cups to go, the chocolate wasn’t even close the one I ordered the day before, I had to ask them to make it batter and it was the same thing, the ladies didn’t really want to work, just waiting for the time to leave. So bad when the employees make their efforts to kill the business

This place is outstanding. Wonderful service. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere. My bacon was perfect. My smoked salmon tartine is something I'll dream about sometimes. The coffee is perfect.I also tried some of the salad with pesto vinaigrette and it was excellent. I also tried some of the turkey from my daughter's plate and it was very fresh (I just don't love cold turkey).I already said I want to come back next time I'm in. What a great restaurant.

The only time I go to Le Pain Quotidien is super early in the morning for breakfast. I’ve gotten avocado toast everytime and it’s always been solid and the staff are super nice for how early they open. I will go back for their toast every-time!
