Sarah ESeptember 25, 2011I just went yesterday, and it is a good place to go. I highly would recommend the cheese plate to share. It's a nice place, and different. The service is very nice and the place feels very homey.
Jelena RadicApril 5, 2015For prosciutto and ricotta toast, you'll get a slice of big loaf of bread, just enough for breakfast. Nice, fresh ingredients, too.
- Conrad Greiner-BechertJanuary 30, 2018This is where I come on weekends to read a book at the common table, and have a lot of tea. There is pleasant background music, power outlets at the table, and the lighting and atmosphere are calming.
They no more have the great quinoa porridge so go for the avocado toast plus a cup of berries in the morning.
Eleonora CarisiSeptember 15, 2013If you want to eat some fresh and healthy food wherever you are this is the right place! Try the Quinoa & Avocado salad
Luis Manuel AlvarezMay 30, 2021It's good, but the latex coffee is very dark and the cups are very large and without handles. There are no scrambled eggs, no omelettes. The waitress was very friendly and helpful.
Institute for Integrative NutritionFebruary 5, 2013"If you want to be a New Yorker for the day, head over to Le Pain Quotidien for weekend brunch and try the organic soft-boiled eggs or homemade organic granola."
Roger SchonfeldDecember 28, 2014I like this location right by NYPL and Bryant Park. For breakfast, never a wait for a table. There are some outlets hiding in the back.- Christina ChinSeptember 3, 2016Avocado toast is huge, got seasonal summer grain bowl, also huge. Not cheap place but service is good and food is fresh

Emily BrimmerJune 4, 2018This location is crazy busy in the morning. The oatmeal is so good but he serving is big enough for 3 days!- Sara 🌈⚔🍾April 14, 2015Great fresh meals. I love the tartines and the spekuloos spread. The coffee is meh, but they give you a lot of it.
Serious EatsMarch 19, 2013Rustic loaves of bread, salads, sandwiches, and French pastries to be enjoyed at the reclaimed wood communal tables.
Mint lemonade is great, salmon salad with goat cheese and the cappuccino with the mixed berry tart is awesome!
BiancaSeptember 19, 2017Surprisingly tasty. Very good for the breakfast. Wide variety. Coffee (cold drip) was not bad at all.
Black bean hummus is the best tartine. To stay or to go. Tons of flavor. One of my go to lunches near Bryant Park.
NearSay NYCJuly 28, 2011Gourmet bakery that offers artisanal breads, cakes, pastries, jams, Belgian chocolates and imported Mediterranean delicacies. We suggest that you have the Smoked Salmon & Scallion omelette!
Jon Espen NergårdJuly 2, 2013Best breakfast place I have found in NYC. Free wifi, great healthy food and lovely people. Try their smoked salmon breakfast.
Cheapeats IncMarch 11, 2013Mint lemonade is too die for. Love their mini apricot tarts. 2 bites that will satisfy your sweet tooth without over indulging.
Jasmine 💫October 3, 2016Fresh and delicious for weekend brunch. Give the Belgian hot chocolate a try!
Jaber26September 27, 2016I would recommend Avocado toast with egg & Belgium waffle. Belgium Hot chocolate, I didn't like it!
Nicole HernandezMarch 28, 2013This place is very expensive. I spent $22 with my family on two items that we shared. It's very delicious though.
Lynn PinaAugust 29, 2012The five-grain bread is amazing! On the other hand, the greek yogurt with rawnola has no flavor so yes it's healthy but at the expense of flavor.
Eliane vdBAugust 12, 2010Where else in NYC can a Belgian gal get a boiled egg with delicious soldiers and fabulous bread and jams for breakfast? And all the rest is very good too. Trust the Belgian on that! ;)
Nat EliasonAugust 9, 2014These are all over, but have reliably good coffee, food, and service. Also definitely get the mint lemonade
Brittney PotterDecember 27, 2015Long wait for lunch. It was alright didn't think it was worth the wait. We had their autumn quinoa salad which was ok. However, I had their cinnamon latte to go and really enjoyed it!
Vanessa RuedaJune 3, 2016really organic, crunchy breads, delicious selection of daily lunch everyday!
Jess KonoMarch 21, 2015Avocado toast and iced green tea. Their organic hazelnut spread is addicting!
Eszter SMarch 11, 2019Had the Matcha Latte and the Avocado Toast. Both were very delicious. I'd go here again.
d jJanuary 16, 2015Counter and seating area in the front area for to go orders. Restaurant in the back.
- Catherine LangSeptember 6, 2015mint lemonade was rather tart but the pastries are to die for-and use the speculoos!!
Geoffroy BablonJuly 21, 2015The bread basket is sufficiently stocked to feed a family of five. Plan accordingly.
Katya PugachevaFebruary 15, 2015The food is good, as in any Le Pain Quotidien. However, this prime location is notorious for sloooow couldn't-care-less service, even when not crowded.
JackJuly 14, 2013If you are gluten free and/or vegan, the menu here just keeps getting better. Appreciate the thought that went into the planning here.
Angela ImpastatoDecember 31, 2015Really good avocado toast!! Waffles are really small though. It's a little pricey.
Doc SearlsMay 8, 2015Just had the milkiest cappuccino ever. 11oz of milk to 1 oz of espresso. When I said it needed less milk, they said "But there's foam on top."
Nicolai P.October 29, 2010LPQ is a great place to meet clients for a quick informal coffee. If the weather is nice, take your coffee across to Bryant Park. Enjoy!!!
Yera HaJuly 10, 2014get a lemonade, go read a book at Bryant Park across the street, appreciate your life.
Lianne FarbesMarch 28, 2010You may not know this BUT this spot has GREAT (and amazingly cheap) wine and prosecco. A glass is about $5 and the BOTTLE is aroud $25. Total steal.... Read more
Olympia LambertFebruary 3, 2012Quiche Lorraine (Bracco) is magnificent. Fluffy, cheesey, and just right amount of flaky crust.
Amy CaoJune 13, 2011Try the Roast Beef Tartine - Open face roast beef sandwich with a garden of Parmesan, pesto and veggies!
M SilbersteinApril 12, 2012Limited breakfast choices. Fresh fruit, nice breads. Okay coffee. Soft eggs a bit erratic based on 2 visits. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
