What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I love this place. My only complaint is sometimes, loud popular music is playing and I wish they would play folk, French, jazz, or anything unique really, that isn’t a repeat of every other typical American coffee shop. Ambience is everything. Also, the lights are a little bright so neurodivergent people can’t stay as long a they’d like. Oh, and when you get a little salad on the side of something it comes with no oil or vinegar, so it’s just dry greens. Staff is excellent. They make you feel like they want you there."
"Disappointed as a Loyal Local Customer We’ve been regular customers at this cafe, especially for their bread, but our recent visit was very disappointing. I politely asked the manager a simple question about the bread — specifically why it expired just two days after purchase, when most bread lasts at least five. Instead of explaining, she responded rudely and said she “doesn’t care,” acting as if she was above addressing concerns — almost like a CEO too busy for customers. As locals who support this business, we expected basic courtesy and a respectful response. Very disappointing experience. and says you can review on it."
"friendly service the Spanish waiter and her daughter made my day ❤️. Le Pain Quotidien at the intersection of West Broadway and Warren Street stands out as a refined retreat in the civic core of Lower Manhattan. Just one block from City Hall Park, the NYC Municipal Building, and the New York City Council chambers, it sits at the nexus of government, commerce, and community life. The café is steps away from major subway lines, including the 1, 2, 3, A, C, E, R, and W trains, making it one of the most conveniently located spots for downtown meetings, coffee breaks, or focused work sessions. The space offers more than proximity—it delivers atmosphere. The scent of freshly baked croissants, tarts, and espresso greets you before you reach the door. Inside, warm wood tones and natural lighting soften the city’s intensity, creating a setting that balances utility and comfort. It’s a known haunt of local officials and city staff, many of whom stop in for a quick espresso or a quiet moment between sessions. During a recent visit with my service dog Brooklyn Meeko, I was welcomed by Juana and the team with their usual grace and precision. Juana’s espresso remains unmatched—deeply aromatic, technically clean, and served with care. The pastries are textbook-perfect: croissants with a crisp shell and tender interior, tarts layered with balanced acidity and sweetness. This café functions as both a public refuge and a civic lounge—where elected officials, neighborhood regulars, and visitors coexist over expertly crafted food and drink. 10:54 PM hanging out with my friend Meeko the Bernadoodle he is a 2 year old male, who loves to say hello to pretty girls. I’m getting an espresso maybe avo toast for brunch. Then we will pick up woody the Catahoula Male 7 year old. From there we will probably be going to the dog pool at Sirius Back with Woody Juana is not here 🥺"
"The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, making me feel welcome right away. I ordered a matcha latte with almond milk and an avocado toast. The avocado was wonderfully fresh, though the bread was a bit on the stiff side. On the other hand, the croissants were fresh, flaky, and absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a great experience."
"Beautiful and cozy spot for breakfast or brunch in the city! Le Pain Quotidien has a warm, rustic atmosphere that feels both relaxing and stylish. The organic breads and pastries are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly baked. I especially loved the croissants and the avocado toast — simple but delicious. The service was friendly and efficient, and the space is very clean and comfortable for dining in. Great place to meet friends, work on a laptop, or enjoy a quiet meal. Prices match the quality and location. Definitely a place I will return to!"
"Checked out the bakery on my walk almost daily today. Gave it a shot early morning and the pastries look so good and fresh! Espresso machine but tad bit..."
