  Not use to spending so much money. Two small easy breakfast. Toast eggs coffee. 32 bucks. Great meal but way too much money. We were walking into the zoo from downtown so not much available to stop and eat.

  One of my favorite little spots for a light breakfast or lunch! The avocado toast may just be the best darn thing on the menu! This location is nice, because they also have an easy place to takeaway coffee or treats on your way to the train;) northandred.com

  Have you ever eaten a bad avocado (spoiler: this is a good review)? I have and was forever scarred by the experience. Thus, I take my avocado consumption very seriously. If Im going to shell out $10.25 for toast and avocado, it better be the best damn version Ive ever had.And, oh Le Pain Quotidien, how you delivered. I got the aptly named Avocado Toast dish. The seedy bread was crunchy and had just the right amount of give to keep it from crumbling like a Nature Valley Bar. The avocado was cool and creamy, pools of olive oil gathering among its green mounds. Chia seeds were sprinkled on top to keep the dish as hipster vegan as possible. A little mound of kale was heaped on the side of the plate (what’s a vegan to do without her kale at every meal?!). Unnecessary? Maybe. But I cant complain when my mouth is full of avocado and toast. I was at a work meeting, so I had to keep my yuuummms to a minimum. My dining companions had the same dish, so I cant remark on any of the other offerings. There are a lot of vegan options available, which can be impossible to find at similar joints. Green tea was good, although I wished they served honey with those cool wooden stirring spoons. But now Im just being picky.Le Pain is bright and clean, and perfect for work meetings, solo computer time, or a brunch spot with friends. If you decide to go, call me. Seriously.

  An incredible bakery and cafe. All of their baked goods are amazing and worth the prices. I’ve taken a baguette home as well once and it was delicious. It’s a great spot to stop by and do homework or grab brunch with a friend. Try the smoked salmon for lunch! Love the chai lattes too. lincolnparkminute.com

  One-of-a-kind bakery. You’ve possibly heard that Germans miss the break when they live in exile. It’s close to impossible to get certain types of brea in other countries, because bakeries in Germany are local businesses that have existed for hundreds of years. The trade of a baker is highly respected and requires are four-year apprenticeship. Bakers get up in the very early hours of the morning to bake the bread for their communities. Then there is sour dough. It is made from a culture of bacteria and yeasts, and the process itself and can result in various defects in the bread. A small amount is always retained to start the next batch. Bread types are regulated by law in Europe. To cut a long story short: you can taste the difference. Americans have come a long way from the days where the measure of good bread was how easily you could compress it when testing the bag in the supermarket. Americans appear to be ready for the real thing. This outfit has the goods. You will not find this anywhere else. Try their sourdough rye. Prices are not even exorbitant.It’s also a very pleasant place to sit down. But that is a review for another day.
