I typically love this place but when my boyfriend and I went for breakfast at this new location and ordered eggs with instructions on how we would like them cooked, my "hard boiled" eggs came to me soft and my boyfriend's "soft omelette" came hard as a rock. On second attempt my boyfriend got the omelette he wanted but the kitchen and whoever was putting the order in just didn't seem to understand the meaning of a hard boiled egg. At the tail end of watching my boyfriend finish his omelette I was again served soft boiled eggs. The waitress didn't check up on us to see if everything was OK so I had to flag down the manager and ask him to take my portion of the meal off of the bill. Of course they did, but I felt their response was casual and insensitive as they said I'm sorry we can't get it right 2x..maybe you should order something else. I will not return to this location again. How difficult can it be to boil an egg? http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html I love everything about this place: attentive servers, delicious and healthy food, plus indulgent desserts. http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html I love this place, the detail presentation of the food is very nice,they are very friendly, but more smile in this room will make the food more and more yummi, http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html The fresh breads, open face sandwich items, cheese board, and jams and jellies were all memorable. Very european...very tasty. http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html Very nice place, great food, excellent location. My only regret is some time there are too many dogs in the place, which it could be a Little big unconformable when in come to food. http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html Great baguettes. good lunches. http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html Love the ambience inside or out, but even the bread is just so, so. http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html Fabulous, fresh salads & sandwiches in a great, hip atmosphere. http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html I called this place to make a reservation, which I understand they don't take, but the manager, had the nerve to discourage my business. She basically told me that they don't want to lose money with a large group!!!! Usually restaurants make more money with large groups!!!! No business etiquette. I'm a business owner myself and if I start refusing business to people, I'm the one that'll be in the hole!!! The manager needs to be brushed up on her business etiquette skills! Pros + None Cons - The manager http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html My partner brought home a fantastic meal from this restaurant one day. He usually brings home really gross, flavorless organic food that sounds a lot better than it tastes. The meal from Le Pain was one of the best I've had in a while...a delicious, complex tasting goat cheese and nut arugula salad with a strong vinagrette dressing, a fresh made sandwich with homemade bread, fresh sliced ham and cheese, (gasp!) a fresh tomato, and some home made mustard that really brought everything together. Then we had a chocolate bomb that was spectacular. Usually with desserts you see in a bakery case, they look great and taste awful. This was melt in your mouth heaven. We fought over it! I can't say much about the ambience there, but the food (for those of you who do takeout) was top notch. Lots of restaurants have the pretense in their menus, but the food doesn't live up to it. They really made an effort with this meal to put their money where my mouth is! Pros + Food lives up to its hype and appearance Cons - None I can see, haven't actually been there yet http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html My husband and I have breakfast there once in a while. Really good bread selection. The soups are great too. But it is sometimes too busy. http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html I love everything about this place: attentive servers, delicious and healthy food, plus indulgent desserts. And for imported food, the prices are reasonable. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with pesto and I had some of my friend's Prosciutto sandwich followed by a chocolate croissant and a huge French donut--all wonderful. They also have fantastic jam and hazelnut spread (think Nutella, without the cocoa)--we ate these straight out the jar they were so good. The appearance of the place is wonderful for a nice lunch with friends. They have a long wooden "communal" table in the middle of the restaurant plus some nice spots outside. Pros + bakery, bread, jams and hazelnut spread Cons - none! http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html A great chain, begun in Brussels, which expanded to NYC where I first tried it over 10 years ago. The food is consistently very good. All the locations have one long communal table, as well as other smaller tables. So this is for casual cafe-style dining. For lunch, you should try a tartine, which are open-faced sandwiches on their delicious wheat bread. The coffees etc. are also very decent. http://www.yellowbot.com/le-pain-quotidien-santa-monica-ca.html I'm not a fan of organic food, but a good friend wanted take me to this restaurant. I was absolutely please with everything about Le Pain Quotidien and have reeommened this restaurant to my friends.
