  1. Reminds me of the La Madeleine chain.
    Fresh breads, baked items, breakfast and lunch menu. The veggie quiche was delicious. One of the best quiches I've had in a restaurant. The side salad that came on the plate was nothing fabulous. I enjoyed my bowl of fresh berries and the coffee was decent, too. The service was painfully slow and they weren't even busy. Maybe you will have better luck if you order to go.
    Good variety and lots of tables. Not sure if I will be back since there are so many other great brunch places, but this a reliable option- albeit slow- for a reasonably priced meal.

  2. The service is what really killed it for me. I walked in, waited for a bit for a waiter or staff to notice me and then I was told I could sit anywhere I liked. I proceeded to sit…and wait.

    I did notice that a woman walked in after me and was immediately served while I began to play with the menu, after minutes passing by with no service. This place was by no means busy and everyone who was seated when I arrived had already been served. Even when I received my order, it was slightly incorrect. The food was average tasting, but it probably seemed worse because my waiter seemed pained to have to even tend to my table.

    I then had to wait longer than everyone near me for my check. The woman who came in before me and was served before me? Her check was automatically brought to her, while I had to signal and ask…sigh.

    This is not 1960 and we are not in the south – I'll probably never come here or to any other LPQ again.

  3. Really great location across from the 24th street Apple Store. Just on the edge of the old meat packing district. The place is small but has a charm to it and when the beautiful days are here they open the front of the store and it gives the illusion of being on a terrace. The food is always great and the bread is delicious. One of my favorites is the "botanist" a platter of hummus, taboule, and the most delicious guacamole. The bread served with this is an assortment including a walnut bread that is out of this world.
    The decor is always the same, on every location and is nice and cozy. Go there, eat well and have a great time.

  4. Its a nice place with a nice gourmet-ish menu. I had a tartine which is a small open faced sandwich. A bit expensive but ok

  5. Good, solid higher-end bakery/cafe chain…But for better pastries, head a few blocks north to La Bergamote 😉

    This location is smaller than other locations and loaded with Meatpacking/Chelsea Market tourists, which slows everything down.

    Food: 4-stars
    Ambiance: 3.5-stars
    Service: 3-stars
    Value: 3-stars

    I'm torn, cause I wanna give them 4-stars, but I just can't cause every time I come, I have to order two entrees/plates in order to get full as the portions are small/light, and I end up spending over $20 just on myself for breakfast or lunch.

    I like that their items are of high quality, but as they tend to be low on the amount of proteins they offer, I end up eating a double portion of carbs, usually bread, and then I'm hungry again in an hour.  

    The price/value is just ok and service is generally slow at most locations.

    Overall, a great spot for lunch if you're looking for something light, however, their breakfast & dinner menus are somewhat limited on options that keep you full.

    My favorite items are the ham & cheese Quiche and the Avocado toast, but, better to come here for coffee and pastries as those are very good and well-priced for what you get.

  6. I'm a big fan of Le Pain Quotidein (how in the HELL do you say the name of this place?) they are a few that I swing in for coffee around my NYC.

    Great place for a salad, fresh iced tea, coffees and bread. I'll stop in here at this location a lot just to sit and grab a salad. Most of the time its after a stop at the Apple store.

    I love their Goat Cheese & Arugula salad! Parmesan, toasted pine nuts, and organic olive oil.
    Yum!

    Nice place for lunch in the meat packing district. Stop here first for food and go on the High Line. You'll be glad you did 🙂

  7. I. LOVE. BREAD.

    I EAT BREAD. EVERY. DAY.

    It's hard to describe the fantasticness of this place without quoting Oprah, but srsly. This place has phenomenal bread.

    Be sure to get the avocado toast – lightly sprinkled with chia seeds, kale, salt, and lemon on the side for you to dash on yourself, this is the perfect way to start your morning.
