Le Pain Quotidien - Alexandria

This is a wonderful place to eat. You have a great rustic farm fresh atmosphere. They were very friendly and helpful at my visit. The food was so fresh, healthy and delicious. The lemon ginger honey was one of the most delicious new drinks I had in a while! I would definitely recommend it as well as one of their tartines! All in all, it is a great place at the stop for a fast pastry, breakfast or lunch!

Great breakfast. A Smidge prize, but I think they're worth it. When you arrive, just find a table and sit. Much to choose and you can even change the menu items. Customer service was also good. Try the lemon ginger tea and the turmeric tea. Both were quite phenomenal. Below is a Quinoa bowl and steel cut oat flour with bananas. Enjoy!

Very polite and attentive waiter. Absolutely charming atmosphere, it was like a walk into a French bakery. Food and coffee were delicious and price was reasonable.

It was there for a private breakfast on the 2nd floor. The location was good and easy to park. Breakfast was very good and lots of food. I would definitely host an event there, the next time I am in the Virginia/DC area.

Cute place to come for brunch or to have coffee with some kind of pastry. Portions seem small and there was no “side dish” option. Not a place to come when super hungry but everything was delicious. The Sunny Side Bowl had a fun mix of vegetables. The bread tasted fresh. The coffee was ok and you get your own little carafe of coffee and the cups have no handle. All I will say is...it’s something different. The waffle, although small and expensive for the size (MYO), was like eating a perfectly moist light cake with a crunch on the outside. My friends called it an “old fashion donut waffle.” So good. The syrup was tiny but once you took a bite, you realize that you may even ruin it adding it on. It included whip cream, the texture of a thick and real fresh version of Cool Whip, and sliced strawberries. The mini pancakes were super cute and tiny bite size silver dollar shaped delights that sat under a snow of powdered sugar. I’m excited to return, not as hungry as today, and taste the Turmeric Latte.
