Le Pain Quotidien

Busy little neighbourhood cafe. Nice selection of French patisserie and surprisingly good coffee, even by Australian standards!

Cool spot in a cool location, but the pastries and baked goods are aggressively mediocre. The Canele was like chewing rubber and the croissants were stale. Spent $17 on 2 pastries and a Canele. Not worth it.

Classic place for a quick bite!

The server with the tattoos was incredibly rude and condescending for absolutely no reason at all. Would not recommending coming here with a staff member like that.

Decent food, consistently slow, inattentive service, in a nice big space (which could be cleaner)

The café is located in a wonderful spot with a great view. We sat indoors because we were a large group and needed several tables. There were many people, but the turnover was quite fast. The food was tasty, and we were very satisfied with our visit.

Believe the reviews. This place is mess. They can not take one simple order properly and every staff looks busy doing nothing.
One salmon sandwich ordering took 10 mnts and then 20 mnts to get it wrong on bread instead of croissants. Then another time wasting to get it fixed. Not worth $12

I was a little disappointed with this location. Usually, Le Pain Quotidien offers great service, but this time the waiter was alone handling all the tables, so the service was understandably slow. We also asked for some seasonal pastries, but they didn’t have any available. The food was good as always, though. I would just suggest having more staff, especially in such a busy area like Columbus Circle.

Great place for breakfast. We came there several times never disappointed. We had the eggs and avocado sandwiche. We also came in for coffee and tea which were great and some pasteries. The service and atmosphere is great

We stopped in to grab some pastries and drinks to go. The cashier behind the counter was extremely rude when I accidentally mispronounced one of the names of the pastry I wanted. He kept correcting me over and over, like I was an idiot. The pastries were okay but service not so much.

Bad vibes from the worker

I went there with my friend. I’m not picky and don’t usually care much about the taste of drinks, but we ordered iced drinks and they tasted like water, just melted ice with something, no real coffee or iced tea flavor. The server forgot about us and seemed really annoyed. The atmosphere wasn’t welcoming or helpful. The pastries were okay, but the drinks were disappointing.

Very tasty, nice vibe
