Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Lovely place, yummy food. We had the mint tea, oatmeal with berries, and avocado toast. Everything was great. The avocado toast was craveable. I will be back. The prices were very good as well."
"Absolutely fantastic experience. Such a cozy place and such amazing food. I loved the cauliflower frittata I ordered and the cappuccino. Also the cups were so cute. There are sweets and baked goods to take out and the pain au chocolat was incredible. My girlfriend had the breakfast bowl with quinoa and also enjoyed the portion and taste. Great place for a brunch date."
"I went here to meet a friend and spend some quality time together. The personell was very nice and food and coffee was great. Especially the brownie and the sandwiches in the self-service area were great."
"The line is always short and the person at the counter has always been friendly. I like their pain au chocolat and baguettes are passable. I've never eaten in the dining room but I see people there all the time with laptops or eating and chatting and it looks like a good atmosphere. They run out of baguettes by the afternoon sometimes."
"We often walk around in NYC to see what’s happening. Today we were on the upper Eastside and stopped in at this Le Pain location. We have stopped here a couple of times over the past few years. Today we had coffee and the Belgium Chocolate Brownie. The coffee was strong and good. The brownie was fantastic and quite large."
"I’ve been to a few midtown locations for breakfast and lunch, but it's my first time here. My schoolmate and I decided to come here for lunch so she could introduce her newborn son. Adorable baby! Unfortunately, he couldn't eat yet, lol. I had eggs and avocado in a skillet, and she had a Cobb salad. My lunch was not bad. The avocado was fresh. Anything cooked on a skillet always turns out well. The skillet has some magic! I also had an unsweetened iced tea. I liked my simple lunch. Her salad looked good too. The service was good and the place was pretty big with outdoor and indoor seats. The indoor dining area is enormous. The baby's stroller fits in between the two tables. That's how big each space is. They have been consistent with fresh ingredients. It's a good place for breakfast or lunch."
"This is my new favorite LPQ in the city. The food in LPQ is always good! My go-to items from the menu are the Skillet-Baked Eggs with Bacon and Scallion and the French Cream Doughnut. This particular branch stands out from the others because of the following reasons: nice neighborhood, the interior space is clean, the music they play is relaxing, the restrooms are spotless, and the service is amazing! My husband and I just had breakfast here this morning after our weekend long walk. We would definitely go there again. Highly recommended!"
"The food is as good as remembered. It was spacious and clean inside. It felt comfortable inside. It was open early and that was convenient for us. The bakery looked and smelled awesome. The waffle was tinier than I expected, and it might just be a NYC thing."
