Le Pain Quotidien – Battery Park

“Can't remember what my friends ordered each time, but I remember only great comments about taste and freshness!”

“For Breakfast they have this amazing Avocado Toast but just to go the brioche and croissants are to die for.”

  1. if you're into organic then this is the spot for you. its super small to eat in – theres only a few tables in the back. came here to meet a friend for lunch recently and was able to connect via wifi on my phone but not on my work laptop. the menu isn't expansive but rather pricey. i had one waffle and that was $7 – the pear jam was sour and not tasty. i ended up using just whipped cream. i had a spice apple cider and that was decent but this is definitely not my type of place. the type of place where new moms bring their children to spend their stay at home time with their kids and meet other moms. definitely not a good lunch place.

  2. Super service and great casual French cafe  …   Coffees, pastries, menu with salads and a few hot dishes, beverages even beer and wine… Quiche Lorraine was great . Large and small wood tables make this a great spot to meet w friends or colleagues. This location next to the ferry / step outside and there is an amazing view across the river .

  3. I love this place – the ambivalence, the food, the drinks, and the music. For a few minutes, I imagine I am in France. It's cute and not to mention for a French place, it has several vegan and gluten free options. I have tried the following – quinoa taboule salad, six vegetable tart, and they used to have this hummus, avocado sandwich which they used to give me with gluten free crackers.

    The six vegetable tart is more of a vegan quiche made with tofu, vegetables and in a buckwheat crust. It is by far my favorite-est thing on the menu and oh, by the way its gluten free. I just think for a cafe / to go spot it is a little overprice at $14.

    Its cute, and has a great ambiance and  a great place to spend a few hours – but it will cost you, mon ami(e).

  4. Lovely staff!
    Lovely Pain Quotidian menu and goodies…

    The actual indoor seating area is not so cozy…
    Sat outside where it was cool enough to take a break and have lunch.

    Nt my most favourite spot of all Pain Quotidien however I know I'm getting good food.

  5. Ummm this place is adorable. The ambiance is so laid back and open. You almost forget you're in the middle of a bustling city. I was a little overwhelmed by the menu and everything they had to offer. The space itself is pretty big, so we decided to hunker down and order there.

    The waiter first suggested some fresh pressed juice. It look absolutely divine and very refreshing. I hate to say it, but it didn't really hit the spot. The presentation was fabulous though. As was the presentation with everything honestly. We went for brunch, and I have to say all three entrees were very good and filling.

    If I lived here, this would definitely be a spot where I went to drown out noise and get some work done. You can't beat all the beverages and little pastries they have to offer!

  6. Had an iced coffee and one of their mini tarts here during the summer. It's a great place to go to if you work in the area for a pick me up. I do believe they also serve a full breakfast menu. The views and outdoor seating for the restaurant are very nice and close to battery park area so you can walk by the bay afterwards.

    The blueberry tart that I ordered was delicious. Felt very fresh and flakey on the outside which is exactly how I like it. The blueberries on top were also very crisp and juicy. Will definitely revisit when I'm in the area!

  7. Food was pretty good, pricing was more than I would've liked to pay but not unexpected. The waitstaff was friendly and service was prompt.

    However, space in this establishment is VERY limited so there may be a wait. I came here on a Sunday morning for brunch around 10:30am and there was no wait, but seats were filled around 11.

  8. This is where I usually get my iced coffee during the summer. It taste good & I like it that they have a simple syrup. They have pastries & bread too.

    One day I came here to get my iced coffee & avocado toast to go. While waiting I seat on their chair outside. They have tables & chairs for customers that order through waitress. I seat since its empty outside. Then a waitress came up to me & ask if I order through a waitress. I said no & I order for a to go food. She told me that I can't seat their while waiting because its just for those customers who orders through them. I understand what she mean but its totally empty. No one is in their. She can kick me out if all the table is pack & thats the only table thats empty & customer is waiting for a table. Then you can kick me out. What a bad service!

    The avocado toast taste decent. It just look good on the picture.

    I'm still gonna come back for the iced coffee this summer but hopefully they work out on their customer service. And I observed crews here are not friendly. They don't smile or greet. C'mon guys!!! Work on it.
