Over-priced. Love the hazelnut spread and breads

Le Pain Quotidian is a very good place because of its nice service, its nice interior, and its very good breakfast food. I have been going to Le Pain Quotidien in New York and London for a very long time, so I know the bakery chain very well now, and in this review, I will tell you what happens at Le Pain Quotidian. In the past few years, nothing has really changed for Le Pain Quotidian. It has always been a great place for coffee, with people flocking there to do their work on a laptop and to drink their great coffee. Other than their coffee, they also have great breakfast food. The Waffle is very nice, and it also comes with fruit and whipped cream. Their pastries are nice as well, I highly recommend getting their satisfying almond croissant, which is crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Their good decaffeinated drinks are Hot Chocolate. They give you the milk for the hot chocolate, and they also give you the chocolate sauce for the hot chocolate on the side, so you can control how much chocolate you want to put in (I recommend putting the whole pitcher because that makes it a real ”hot chocolate.”) The reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service is a bit slow, so they can work on the speed of the service. The selection of seats is also very good. There are many seats to choose from, including seats around one nice big table, which I recommend for people going to Le Pain Quotidian alone. You are guaranteed a seat, and if you have the opportunity, sit at the big table in the middle of the seating area. Lastly, the atmosphere. The atmosphere is calm because the majority of the people that go to Le Pain Quotidian go alone, and a lot of them are working on their computers. One last thing, is that The Daily Bread, or Le Pain Quotidian, even has a kids menu, with games that your child can play with.
