I just went yesterday, and it is a good place to go. I highly would recommend the cheese plate to share. It's a nice place, and different. The service is very nice and the place feels very homey .

For prosciutto and ricotta toast , you'll get a slice of big loaf of bread , just enough for breakfast . Nice, fresh ingredients , too.

Conrad Greiner-Bechert

This is where I come on weekends to read a book at the common table, and have a lot of tea . There is pleasant background music , power outlets at the table, and the lighting and atmosphere are calming .

Christina Chin

Avocado toast is huge, got seasonal summer grain bowl, also huge. Not cheap place but service is good and food is fresh

Eleonora Carisi

If you want to eat some fresh and healthy food wherever you are this is the right place! Try the Quinoa & Avocado salad

Luis Manuel Alvarez

It's good, but the latex coffee is very dark and the cups are very large and without handles. There are no scrambled eggs , no omelettes . The waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Jari Mäkelä

They no more have the great quinoa porridge so go for the avocado toast plus a cup of berries in the morning.

Roger Schonfeld

I like this location right by NYPL and Bryant Park . For breakfast , never a wait for a table. There are some outlets hiding in the back.

Black bean hummus is the best tartine . To stay or to go. Tons of flavor. One of my go to lunches near Bryant Park .

Sara 🌈⚔🍾

Great fresh meals . I love the tartines and the spekuloos spread. The coffee is meh, but they give you a lot of it.

Bianca

Surprisingly tasty. Very good for the breakfast . Wide variety. Coffee (cold drip) was not bad at all.

Jon Espen Nergård

Best breakfast place I have found in NYC. Free wifi , great healthy food and lovely people. Try their smoked salmon breakfast .

Rustic loaves of bread , salads , sandwiches , and French pastries to be enjoyed at the reclaimed wood communal tables .

Mariana Pantalena

Mint lemonade is great, salmon salad with goat cheese and the cappuccino with the mixed berry tart is awesome!

Eliane vdB

Where else in NYC can a Belgian gal get a boiled egg with delicious soldiers and fabulous bread and jams for breakfast ? And all the rest is very good too. Trust the Belgian on that! ;)

This location is crazy busy in the morning. The oatmeal is so good but he serving is big enough for 3 days!

Eszter S

Had the Matcha Latte and the Avocado Toast . Both were very delicious. I'd go here again.

Jasmine 💫

Fresh and delicious for weekend brunch . Give the Belgian hot chocolate a try!

Nicole Hernandez

This place is very expensive . I spent $22 with my family on two items that we shared. It's very delicious though.

Gioia Cilluffo

The steel cut oatmeal with banana , walnuts and maple syrup is great!

Jaber26

I would recommend Avocado toast with egg & Belgium waffle . Belgium Hot chocolate , I didn't like it!

Cheapeats Inc

Mint lemonade is too die for. Love their mini apricot tarts . 2 bites that will satisfy your sweet tooth without over indulging.

Saad Alsalamah

Very good quality, very busy restaurant .

Jack

If you are gluten free and/or vegan , the menu here just keeps getting better. Appreciate the thought that went into the planning here.

Vanessa Rueda

really organic , crunchy breads , delicious selection of daily lunch everyday!

Angela Impastato

Really good avocado toast !! Waffles are really small though. It's a little pricey .

Lynn Pina

The five-grain bread is amazing! On the other hand, the greek yogurt with rawnola has no flavor so yes it's healthy but at the expense of flavor.

Cecilia ✈️

I love it! 🌱💕 and the chia seed pudding ! 😋

Dia Haykal

Best waffle in the world. Ask for white chocolate from the jar.

Manal K.

Great breakfast , egg & avocado sandwich was so delicious

Brittney Potter

Long wait for lunch . It was alright didn't think it was worth the wait. We had their autumn quinoa salad which was ok. However, I had their cinnamon latte to go and really enjoyed it!

Jess Kono

Avocado toast and iced green tea . Their organic hazelnut spread is addicting!

Nat Eliason

These are all over, but have reliably good coffee , food, and service. Also definitely get the mint lemonade

Yera Ha

get a lemonade , go read a book at Bryant Park across the street, appreciate your life.

Gokce 👼

lemon cheescake and coconut cookies efsane lezzet.

Counter and seating area in the front area for to go orders. Restaurant in the back.

Nicolai P.

LPQ is a great place to meet clients for a quick informal coffee . If the weather is nice, take your coffee across to Bryant Park . Enjoy!!!

Thomas Green

Really great French bakery and cafe . Perfect for breakfast or lunch .

Silvio Trida

Delicious food and Very Nice waiters . Dont miss the belgiam brownie

Catherine Lang

mint lemonade was rather tart but the pastries are to die for-and use the speculoos!!

Olympia Lambert

Quiche Lorraine (Bracco) is magnificent. Fluffy, cheesey, and just right amount of flaky crust .

Lindsey Frances

Cold brewed coffee , bread basket and soft boiled eggs

Doc Searls

Just had the milkiest cappuccino ever. 11oz of milk to 1 oz of espresso . When I said it needed less milk , they said "But there's foam on top."

Nissa

Great and quick place to grab breakfast

Carmen N

Yes overpriced, but yes really good tartines , soups and salads .

Geoffroy Bablon

The bread basket is sufficiently stocked to feed a family of five. Plan accordingly.
