Le Pain Quotidien - Philadelphia

Great healthy food. Warm service.Loved it.Food: 5/5

My girlfriend and I came here for take-out drinks. She ordered the hot belgian mocha and I ordered the belgian hot chocolate. Both of these taste like hot milk with a spritz of chocolate or coffee. I don't remember having such a bland hot chocolate before. I would sooner go to the starbucks across the street. Lastly, the cup lids were leaking from a couple of places. Be warry as it may drip on your shoes!

The food was freaking amazing. Cute little place, lots of charm.Food: 5/5

It is difficult for me to review this place. The atmosphere expressed through upholstery is great. Wooden chair, huge and bright windows, nicely presented pastry items in the cupboard, various types of gems and seasoning on the table, everything I can see levels up my expectation. But that’s where the good news ends.Servers are not very attentive to people. I have to raise my hands to a third time so that he can see me. There was a time he was walking right in front of my seat and missed my call; I ended up having to hint the other server that I would like to talk to him.For the food, they were fine but not impressive. Coffee is not served in a traditional cup but comes with a set of a jar and a cup. The set itself has aesthetic value but not pragmatic utility. The cup has no handle, which makes me have difficulty enjoying hot coffee. So I have to wait till it cools down a bit, but come on, who likes lukewarm coffee?For the skillet baked eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and feta cheese all add nice flavor into the dish, which is a plus. The only trouble is the bread, which tastes absolutely stale. Though looking fresh, bread is hard and dry. With this being said, it is not over toasted, since it is not toasted at all, but left to dry?Overall, the astonishing dining environment does allure me to anticipate a wonderful experience to come, the actual food and service creates substantial setbacks.

Wonderful high quality food, atmosphere and service. Was there for lunch and tried out many view dishes. All fresh and organic. Perfect for Walnut Street Theatre, or while in town. Will go again.Food: 5/5
