Le Pain Quotidien Larchmont Village

I had a wonderful pastry and espresso this morning outside of this charming cafe in my neighborhood of Larchmont. There are so many coffee places to choose from, but this one is particularly quaint. They have French music playing in the background, which adds to the ambiance. The menu looks delicious and I can't wait to try more options. Sitting outside again in their al fresco seating area is one of my favorite spots to relax.

This bakery is the best in the neighborhood. The sourdough whole wheat bread is the most delicious, freshest, and most reasonably priced loaf in town. The staff are all friendly and work hard to ensure you have a pleasant experience. It's usually for takeout, but definitely worth a visit.

I absolutely adore the signature bread at this restaurant. Highly recommended! The food quality is excellent and all organic. The atmosphere of the restaurant, with classical music playing, makes you feel like you're in Europe. As a vegan, I cannot speak to the other menu items like cheese, but I can say that their lentil soup is delicious. The staff is welcoming and efficient, delivering food promptly. The payment process is quick and there is a restroom available. Street parking is metered and can be difficult to find a spot, but there is parking available on the street behind the restaurant - just be sure to read the signs to avoid any issues.

Finally tried out this place after always passing by this place during my morning walks. Just ordered 1 chocolate croissant and the moment I tasted it something didn't taste right, I definitely think that the pastries are not freshly made and they possibly keep whatever pastry that they didn't sell out and resell that the next day or something. The Croissant was quite tough to chew and it was the driest Croissant I've ever tried. I finished the croissant cause I paid for them, but I'll take my business somewhere else.

If you want coffee and pastries, this is a nice spot. But apparently they don?t give the same care to other orders. Two visits in a row, I ordered a fruit bowl and tea. The first time the fruit was overripe and the tea water wasn?t very hot. The second time the fruit bowl was mostly unripe melon, but the one piece of kiwi and the few berries were quite good. That same visit I?d ordered Earl Grey, but received a green tea. The place has a good vibe for business meetings, but I don?t want to point out service errors when I?m pitching. I don?t know how the situation would have been addressed if I?d brought it up.
