Sitting outside on a nice day with some coffee and pastries is one of my family’s favorite things to do. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff is so wonderful! I have never had a bad experience here.

I really enjoy Le Pain Quotidien when I visit center city Philadelphia. A very quaint, laid back atmosphere. The food has always been unique, hearty, fresh and beautifully presented. The service has always been spot on, with professionalism, courtesy and attentiveness. This particular location plays wonderful music.

Really beautiful restaurant. We sat outside and the service was excellent. We only went for pastries so we didn’t get the full experience but great nonetheless. The decor inside was stunning and the restaurant was kept very clean. I was a little disappointed because they ran out of most of their desserts with the exception of some fruit tarts which I didn’t want; however, the staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. It is on the pricier side but I think your paying for the quality of your experience at this point.

If this is Croque Monsieur I’m very disappointed. And this costs 14.5$. Never be back in here.

AMAZING FOOD!!! I got the sunny side morning bowl with scrambled eggs and it was just so delicious. Made me feel healthy but also really great flavor. Food came super quickly after ordering. Really nice place, relaxing with the music and the workers are helpful and kind.

Nice restaurant serving French/Belgian style cuisine. I had the ham and cheese with side salad for around $14, and it was delicious. This location has plenty of seating. Prices are on the higher end.

The food was good and the place is very pretty but the service really ruined the overall experience. Coffee got cold waiting for sugar and no spoons were given to stir. Bread was given with no butter and my side salad was never eaten because the dressing never came. The egg order was incorrect. When finally brought, after the entire table finished eating we were charged for an extra egg. To boot, the manager was condescending when I asked for an update on the egg status. COVID was not the issue as the restaurant was not even a little but crowded.

Love LPQ! When I lived in NYC, I would go there all the time and the food is amazing. First time trying this place is Philly. Monday afternoon, slow time of the day. One more table. Selection of desserts was very limited, but we choose few pastries. Pain su a chocolat (chocolate croissant) was cold, dry and hard. as well Pain aux Raisins (pastry with Raisins) and Choco chip cookie. I was only asked if I would like a Organic Butter Brioche to be toasted.Large Latte arrived in a cracked cup but still tasty and good flavor. In NYC, they practice to leave a bottle of water on the table, but not in Philly. Dont know if service practice has changed or what.

They offer the most delicious avacado toast and avacado omelette. The pastries are super delicious. I highly recommend the Belgian chocolate brownie and almond croissant. The only downside is the coffee. Overall, I had a great experience.

As we all stand by awaiting the return of in restaurant dining in the state of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia. This is going to be one of those most loved places that we look forward to returning to. Comfort and civility elegantly presented with a hot wonderful cup of coffee and a delectable pastry is a celebration of getting a little closer to the things we hold dear that have been hiding behind these masks.

Review №27

After some confusion about whether or not there was actual table service, of course I couldnt hear with the mask and the plexiglass, but we figured it out.We had an omelette a breakfast sandwich and a waffle and everything was very very good. In fact I was telling my wife that the waffle might have been the best one Ive had in a very long time. Although The omelette plate look like a normal size entree the breakfast sandwich and the waffle were a bit smaller so I would suggest asking questions about the size of your dish if youre really hungry. when I order the waffle the woman behind the counter did ask if I wanted a second one which indicated to me it was as small as it looked in the picture. either way everything was very good and we will definitely plan another breakfast there when we are in town.

They have a delicious rustic multigrain gluten-free bread that is a hearty addition to a generously filled sandwich, or just toasted with a spread of butter. They were also kind enough to let me try a sample before I made my purchase!

Im only in Philly for a few days and made it a mission to visit several local bakeries/cafes. The pastry here is a bit expensive for me, but I got the daily special tartine (Thursday - chicken mozzarella) and I was blown away ! This was my first tartine ever, and wait staff was super friendly and helpful when I had to ask if it was the kind of food to use hands or utensils for (apparently there was actually a sign on the wall behind me explaining how to eat them properly, LOL). Overall a great experience, and when I return to Philly Ill definitely be back !

It is the little things. Your condiments are being held hostage behind the counter. I had to ask, and the employees were put out that I did for honey. I am having tea. Then I had to ask for a stirrer. Common sense and customer service would have you ask your guest how they would like their tea. Not to mention that the mint is leaves in my cup without a way to get them out.

I ordered breakfast items via doordash, I received pancakes with rotting black bananas, i added extra berries for 2 dollars, but I only received 1 strawberry cut into tiny pieces and 2-3 blueberries. The $8.00 belgian waffle was a mini waffle, not enough to fill even one person. The quiche was only 1 slice for $14. There was a side of salad with the quiche but they sent it without dressing. I have to throw out the salad. I thought I was getting a mini pie of quiche in $14. Latte was good but the 10 oz cup was half filled. Luckily, I got a refund for coffee via doordash. Croissants were fresh and nice size. Next time I will only get coffee and croissant from this cafe as they are the best value. They should clearly mention on the doordash menu the sizes of the quiche and waffle so that the customer can decide how much to order. As we are a family of four and one slice of quiche and mini waffle was not enough.

I was here two days ago with my friend; we spontaneously happened to stumble upon this place while walking around in the city. The restaurant/cafe is incredibly authentic and Parisian inspired. It is a super cozy atmosphere with delicious food and drinks to go along with it. The staff is friendly as well, however, it did take a minute for our server to come over to greet us. -Nevertheless I would return again, amazing quality!

Great gourmet breakfast/brunch place. If you dine in though, service can be a bit slow. Fresh baked goods, pancakes, sandwiches are all tasty. Juices and other drinks also taste fresh every time. Offers a good option for kids menu as well.

The oatmeal is disgusting. The way it was prepared, it seemed they were telling me not to come back. I was aware that they were made nervous when I came in, as black men tend to have that effect on white people. But, they could have at least kept it professional and ethical.

I love studying at cafes and this one is by far One of my favorite. It’s quaint and quiet, never too busy and it has the cutest rustic French theme inside. The music is very relaxing and the staff is so kind! They also have some organic things for sale and the only time I get mochas is from this cafe! Highly recommend.

Review №58

Honestly it was one of the worse experiences I had. Me and my husband were told to sit anywhere, but all tables were dirty. So we sit on the big one ( the only one clean ) for 10 minutes nobody came to talk to us. So finally they started to clean the table, and we relocated. It was like we were invisible. It took about 20 minutes for some Good Samaritan come to take the order. Horrible service! Food was good. Organic and delicious. If you want a good service don’t wast your money. Ps: we just stayed because my husband had a leg injury and could not walk a lot. In other occasion, we would walk out.

I love this place and I go there often. Food is amazing, fresh baked goods and deserts, fresh healthy smoothies too. if you have any projects to be done you can sit in peace and do all the work needed. I usually just sit and relax alone or a friend with a great food. Just go and experience it. Youll be happy. Oh by the way its a bit pricey.

Review №63

Tremendously awesome staff -- very friendly and welcoming! unfortunately, the food did not deliver quite so much...i found the menu to be a bit sparse, esp. for vegetarian options. i ordered the veggie quiche (to-go). what i got for $12 was a tepid, VERY small slice of quiche nested sloppily on a few leaves of mixed greens. it tasted okay, a little lacking in flavor and veggies. but i just felt really scammed by the price and portion. for $12 i would have expected a lot more and at least hot food.

Looked inviting so our family of four went in. Person behind the counter ask if were eating in. We said yes, so she told us sit down and someone will serve us. During the 15 minutes we waited there were two employees chatting at the display case and two chatting at the other end of the café, both in clear view. No one bothered to come take our order. We just got up and left. Even then, no one noticed or cared that we were walking out. I guess leaning and chatting is more important to the staff than my desire for a good cup of coffee and a pastry.

Absolutely wonderful place. Open early and into the evening. Friendly service staff here are attentive and helpful. The food is here is incredible, from normal breakfast foods, to more adventurous things as well. The coffee and pastries are incredible and will leave you feeling satsified. You wont spend too much if its just you and someone else, but if youre paying for a group you will want to watch your price. A must visit if youre staying nearby.

Review №76

Great product- always delicious and fresh. However, staff at the counter up front are mostly very unpleasant. I have had three bad experiences here within the last few months, specifically when trying to redeem any kind of reward from the app or email that LE PAIN has directly sent themselves. The staff always seem to be uninformed on any new promotion, then they get frustrated or annoyed that Im using the reward, and hardly interact at all. Its very uncomfortable. If youre going to give out free stuff, please make sure your employees are informed and dont have such a bitter attitude towards it.

Review №77

I really love the food here. I’m basically addicted to their ham and cheese croissant. However, I frequently dine alone. More than once I’ve witnessed tables with larger parties served before me when I arrived before them. And the prices are very expensive. It’s almost like a tourist trap—yet I always see locals inside having meetings and tables for 1 enjoying brunch. I don’t mind paying the price, but then the service should match the quality of the food. My server was sweet and kind, but I watched as she did not take orders in sequence of how tables were seated. While I waited to place my order, I watched not one but two tables change their mind to eat elsewhere. The one next to me spoke of “too expensive” but I could tell had the server even stopped by the table to greet them, they may have stayed. I hope if Management reads this they understand I am only intending to be constructive.

The pastries and drink are always good, that I do not have any problems with, however the cashier here at the walnut street location was very rude today.I asked if it was possible to pay for my drink and pastry then sit at a table. He gave me a hard time for no reason about not wanting to have a server which was very embarrassing to me.If it wasn’t possible you could have just said so, I’m sure a reasonable customer would understand.If you want to have a better experience, then go to the one on Callowhill Street. Much better and nicer staff.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, wonderful variety! We went for breakfast and were thrilled. They have both sit-down service and a grab-and-go counter which makes things convenient. For the food, in addition to your standard eggs etc., their dishes range from spicy Shakshuka (with avocado on top, yum!) to baby pancakes (adorable and cooked each one to a perfect crisp) with and their creativity doesnt skimp on the drinks either. (I especially recommend the mint lemonade -- refreshing and delucious, not too sweet and not too spur!). The service was fast and friendly too, both at the counter and the tables and everybody in the place was charming and cheerful! We saw games on the big communal table on the middle and it looks like it would be a great atmosphere to hang-out (with friends or making new ones) to get some work done over a nice hot cuppa or to take a short break. Definitely would come again!
