This is such a cute breakfast/brunch spot. The food is good and there's free wifi which makes it a great place to catch up on work. The Belgian waffle is tiiiiny, but worth every single penny.

Great for a quick breakfast , order a latte and the Avocado Toast : citrus cumin salt, organic chia seeds and extra virgin olive oil .

Christie Abramovic

Love eating here. Always get either the asparagus & goat cheese omelet or the avocado & tomato omelet , both come w/side salad . A general note, I ALWAYS get more food when dining in vs. Ordering to go.

Laurenellen McCann

Plenty of veg option son the main menu, but a surprisingly awesome selection of vegan pastries and desserts as well . Plus: Great coffee .

Chris Higginbotham

Great place for outdoor breakfast . The muffins are kinda meal-y though.

Jay

Get the Salmon omelette . It has beautiful layers of mildly cooked eggs and salmon . The best omelette I have ever had.

Enzo Martinelli

A European touch for brunch and a tasty bite

Ella Nicole

Salmon omelette was so delicious and filling!

Siw S.

Everything is fresh here, all organic ! Don't miss the specials

Erik Moe

Finally a non-SBUX cup of coffee in Dupont that is both drinkable and consistent from hour to hour. They aren't really set up that well as a take-out coffee bar , but do it anyway.

Alexandra Ma

Not as many choices in terms of drinks and bakery items than the Georgetown branch, but great nonetheless!

Ricky Sherrill

A good option for a snack if you are staying at the Fairfax Hotel .

Isa Lara

They’ve stopped serving ham & cheese croissants for breakfast . This makes no sense at all!

Denise Leal

Waffle , iogurte, patisserie francesa.

Ana Belen Duran

Everything is good. It's the real thing!

Albie

This place is amazing! Their omelets and tartines are amazing!!

Rizwaan

Seats near the back right brick wall are nice and the salmon tartine is delicious. Totally still hungry though. Going to go get a hot dog .

Isa Lara

Sounds silly to order cottage cheese at a bakery , but it is THE BEST ever (and probably nothing low-fat about it!)

Brendan O'Neil

The parmesan and Basil pesto omelette is fantastic, be sure to try an apple and pear turnover as well !

Chelsea M

One of my favorite brunch spots in DC. Must have: bread basket or baguette with the homemade preserves and brunette (chocolate hazelnut ) spread.

helen tashonna

just so u know the table is for dine in only and before I can even say anything he stormed off I will take my money else where. There vegan apple cannele was good tho! Too bad he ruined it for me!

Deena Ghubash

There avocado tartine is delicious!

André Alves

Salmon Tortine is awesome!

Mike LaRosa

Sit outside on a beautiful Sunday and you'll be able to cruise the hottest guys...no joke.

Isa Lara

Come early before all the babies in strollers arrive.

Shannon Yazurlo

Order the Strawberry French Toast you won't regret it!

Mary Jeneverre Schultz

The menu is amazing!

Dave Newman

Coffee and pastry were good

Kurt Haa

Le Pain Quotidien isn't a truly French or Belgium bakery . It is just an regular place that overcharges for its average food.

Nicolas Mathieu

Is it the only real bread in America? Make sure you try the brunette !!!

OMAR Mukharesh

The place to be for French breakfast

Alex Barth

The apricot pie . I repeat: the apricot pie .

Martina Bernstein

Great vegan options ! And the coffee is delicious, too.

John Johnson

Macha tea is yummy. Food has been fantastic in two trips for tomatoe avocado omlette and arugula salmon salad .

Amy B

Delicious lemonade .

William la Blind

Serving coffee in bowls is a little precious, don't you think?

Van

The baguette sandwiches (to go) are all excellent.

helen tashonna

I was planning to eat here but I wanted to finish my hot cocoa and this jerk came over n said..

Thomas Kreder

Good for brunch , delicious food.

Linda Walters @lindasauce

They don't toast their tartines . Gotta ask for it.

Rebecca Neal

Horrible setup. You can't just order a drink and sit down; it's waiter service only and they will get your order wrong. Expensive too -- cup of cider was $5. Avoid.

Travis Miller

Organic but not filling

Victor Granado

Make sure you the Noisella spread

Grant

Make sure you let them know if you are dining in or taking out , before you order. I ordered from take out and then tried to sit in the dining room. Had three waiters tell me I couldn't sit here.

tanya trifka

I love their whole wheat breads !!

Ching-Che Huang

Beverage is okay but the food is a little disappointed.

Tse

Anna Oblivious

Nicole Jayne

No wifi , no pictures allowed. Guess you'll just have to relax
