I visited this brunch cafe with a friend, and unfortunately, our experience was completely ruined by the service. Our server, an older woman with curly/permed hair, had a dismissive attitude from the start. She placed the menus on the table in a way that felt more like tossing them than handing them to us. It was rude, but we tried to ignore it at first. When she took our drink order, she barely listened, quickly entered it into her handheld device, and walked away without any basic courtesy. There was no effort to communicate or be polite. When our drinks came out, she again tossed the straws onto the table. At that point, it no longer felt accidental. It felt clearly disrespectful. I've been to many restaurants, but this was easily one of the worst service experiences I've had. Basic professionalism and respect were completely missing. We spoke to the manager and requested a different server. The replacement server was professional and respectful, which made it even clearer how unacceptable the previous behavior was. This level of service is unacceptable. No customer should be treated this way. read more

Tucked by Mom's organic in Mosaic. We came for lunch. The interior is warm and inviting. There's a cafe area near the front where you can order coffee and desserts to-go. Feels a bit like an elevated Panera. We ordered the warm grain bowl, skillet-baked eggs w/ avocado, and the mini Dutch pancakes. Service was quick. The food was not stand-out, but good. The grain bowl was flavorful and fillng, avocados fresh, and the mini Dutch pancakes were cute! A decent spot for lunch if you're in the area. read more

We were visiting a friend and wanted a light brunch-like meal. This was the perfect option! There were so many options to choose from and I definitely wish I could have tried more!! The skillet baked egg dish was tasty. The eggs were overcooked (totally hard yolk), but everything else was amazing! The dish comes with a piece of sliced wheat bread and a piece of baguette. Definitely request butter and jam. The butter is cold and cut into cubes. It's high-quality butter that tastes especially good on this type of bread. You are offered three types of toppings when you ask for jam; I'm pretty sure it varies, so if you don't get something you like, ask for other options. We received hazelnut spread, blueberry jam, and four berry jam. The four berry was delightful-- the perfect blend of sour and sweet. My daughter got the egg sandwich and she loved everything about it. She asked for the tomato jam on the side and was surprised to find that she enjoyed the flavor. The breakfast greens were very fresh and a nice compliment to the sandwich. We shared a chocolate chip crookie -- basically a croissant with a dollop of cookie on top. It was slightly over baked, but the flavor was great! Honestly, I didn't want to share. Our server was friendly and attentive. The space is open and airy. We didn't sit outside, but that was an option if we had wanted. I'd definitely go back! read more

I've come here a couple times now and have never had an issue. Interior is really nicely lit and overall quiet. I did notice that all the tables had silverware laid out, so I'm assuming if you want to sit at a table, you have to dine in. I found this a little peculiar and annoying considering I'm tipping someone to bring out food/drinks that are already made/take less than a minute to prepare. Coffee was nothing amazing but definitely not the worst coffee you can get at Mosaic. It's a cute little spot to come and sit down and talk for hours with your friends. read more

Really nice spot, with a wide variety of options. A really good food. We always bring something back when we head back home.

Coffee is meh. They give you bowls for your coffee. Cute but the coffee gets cold immediately and especially since it comes in, yet, another container. Avocado toast was delicious. Bacon is not great. Is the thin bacon nothing special. Service was good. read more

Wonderful place for breakfast and coffee. I had the quiche, cappuccino and Belgian waffles. The quiche came with a side of mixed greens and 2 pieces of bread. The quiche was ok ... not bad. The cappuccino is served in a bowl.... Yes it's a bowl, not a mug/cup. It sure is different . The cappuccino was nice. But my favorite was the Belgian waffles. Oh sooooo good. So glad I decided to get it! read more

Le Pain Quotidien reminds me of another place I reviewed in the past where it looks pretty but ordering could be cumbersome and not worth visiting. Luckily that wasn't the case for this visit but it was an interesting experience to tell the tale. Walking in, there's a counter for your pastries and coffee machinery that you'd expect from any café/bakery place. The other side and beyond has tables where you can just sit down and get waited by someone if you don't mind dining in. I think since I came mid afternoon it was empty so maybe it'd been better if you went here for brunch or breakfast. I ate a lot that day so I decided to get my usual pair. Pain Au Chocolat and A regular latte. The Pain Au Chocolat is what you expect. Chocolate croissants that's in a rectangle shape but has that same crispness as you'd expect from a regular croissant. The Latte was a bit interesting because it was served to me on a bowl...? I guess they don't have a mug that big but it was interesting. Latte was good and it gets the job done as it was definitely a lot to drink from. Other than the nice décor, the waiter was nice and even took my plates away, that was really sweet of her. I would come back here to try out their brunch sometime! read more

This is a cute little shop that I stopped by for a quick iced coffee and parfait. I added honey to the parfait because it was plain yogurt. They have plenty of breakfast options and of course, baked goods. My friends had the mozzarella flatbread, an omelet and oatmeal which they all said was pretty good! I'll have to try the actual meals one day. For a place that seemed busy with little staff, they got our order in pretty quickly. However, it did take some time to get our check so one of us had to go in to ask for it. The waiter was pretty nice though- he was running in and out for us because we sat outside. I appreciate how accommodating and patient he was because we had specific requests. It's right across a garage too, so location is convenient! read more

The quiche was burnt and black on top. And the crust was greasy and basically burnt as well. It was the mushroom gruyere. It was hard to even eat it with just a single fork. I had to grab a steak knife to go through the Crust. read more

Cute eatery. Happy to see lemon tarts. Actual real lemon tarts can be hard to come by, (These still aren't as great as my grandmother's lemon chess pies) but I feel they hit the spot more-so than any other place I've tried them. The hot honey lemon ginger tea was quite strong and great for winter day. It was a quiet place to sit and chat with a snack. read more

Still loving Le Pain Quotidian ... and still wishing they were in NorCal. We had an 8-day stay at the Archer Hotel which is adjacent to LPQ so stopped by several times. Once for takeout, couple of times for soup, and once for breakfast. The artisanal bread is so good. Can't get enough of it. The bread and a bowl of lentil soup is a meal in itself. While the Archer Hotel offers a continental breakfast, we got a bit tired of it. LPQ gave us a great change. For one thing we needed better coffee and secondly more protein. Settled on steel-cut oatmeal with berries for me and scrambled eggs and artisanal bread for DH. The eggs came with a small green salad. The salad was the one "miss" in all our LPQ meals. Just not what DH likes with his breakfast eggs. For our take-out meal we had a variety of foods: chicken soup, fresh fruit, quiche (delicious!), and the cobb salad. More than met our needs. As long as we keep coming to the Mosaic District, we will be stopping by LPQ. read more

Bought a coffee and a pumpkin muffin at the front counter for a quick breakfast. . Was SO stale, dense, rock hard. Don't recommend. They have better at Starbucks.... I thought I could sit at one of the many empty tables to eat it, but that is not allowed unless you're ordering table service? read more

Le Pain Quotidien is decent but pretty pricey for what you get. We tried the chicken soup and the avocado toast with smoked salmon. Both were pretty good but for the price I expected more. I also got the lemonade which tasted artificial rather than fresh read more

I went there for the first time after a work event and went with my co-workers. The inside is decorated very cute and very aesthetically pleasing! The parking is horrible and very confusing and it was completely dead at a little after 12! The bathrooms were all under construction or flooded and we had to go to the hotel close by just to use the bathroom The hot tea was great and they had nondairy milk and honey. The food was also delicious I got a mushroom quiche but the top was a little burnt. read more

Overpriced, bitter coffee, absolutely lousy service, too loud. Menu outrageously expensive

Absolutely love this place! This is my boyfriends and I go to breakfast when we want to treat ourselves. They have both indoor and outdoor seatings. We've been going here since 2019 and always had a nice time. Although the pandemic did effect the price we still love to go here! What we got: - Iced vanilla latte 5/5 - Jasmine green tea 5/5 - Three scrambled eggs (comes with a slice of sourdough and french bread. Usually comes with salad but I ordered fruits instead, the eggs could be seasoned better) 4/5 - belgium liege waffles (topped with berries and house made whipped cream) 10000000/5 We ALWAYS order the same thing every time we go here and it never disappoints. We love Duni (i hope that's how you spell it) The most lovely server there. We always see here every time we come but she wasn't working today :,( Still love her though! Overall definitely recommend for a breakfast/brunch ! read more

One of the worst service experiences I've had. I brought a special guest who traveled a long way, but instead of enjoying our time, the waiter's attitude ruined it. She was cold, dismissive, and served our coffee careless, almost hostile way, like she was throwing it on the table while treating other tables kindly. After we paid, she rushed us out and even blocked the hallway as we left. It was unprofessional, embarrassing, and completely unwelcoming. Coffee may be good, but with service like this, it's not worth returning. Management seriously needs to retrain or reconsider staff like this if they care about costumers returning. read more

It's a nice place to go but can get busy at times. There's free parking next door in a large garage so only a short walk.

I tried the chicken & mozzarella melt and really liked it. My wife had the omelette with smoked salmon. She loved it. read more

Food: (4/5). It's pretty good. Don't get the belgian waffle though. That's the only item I've ordered that I thought was not worth it at all. Cost: (2/5): It has become very expensive over the last few years Tipping: (1/5) the device they bring around let's you select 18% as the lowest option. With their lack of actual service, rude staff who don't even respond to you when you say thank you and take forever to come over, it is not an 18% place. 18% is for high end restaurants with staff who actually come to your table more than just to give you your food. Service: (3/5). Hit or miss. There's one man there who is great, no idea his name. There are several women there who I would prefer not to be staffing my table. Never comes over to check, have to get things yourself, then they ask for such high tips after charging very high for food. Ambiance: very cute inside. This and their breakfast items are what saves this place. read more

This is a cute spot for a French pastry and coffee. We came on a late morning and sat outside which was nice and not too busy. The inside is nicely decorated and bright with natural lighting.

(End October 2022, Friday late breakfast). I used to love Le Pain Q. Over the years the portions got smaller, coffee weaker and colder , and prices higher. I had a nostalgic craving of ham and cheese omelette that used to be my breakfast favorite at Eastern Market location in DC. This time, at Mosaic location, I decided to try ham&cheese croissant with an added egg (+$3) and a coffee. Croissant was quite small. The menu described it as toasted but it was merely microwaved to melt a slice of cheese. Side salad was just a few leaves sprinkled with vinegar, more of a garnish than food, but it was very fresh. An egg was overcooked. Coffee was lukewarm. My partner ordered an avocado toast with extra smoked salmon and an extra egg. His toast was on a slice of an excellent farm bread. The service was very good ( friendly and efficient). $55 total for a toast and a croissant and two black coffee. We left hungry. The good thing there is Mom's next door :) read more

Went here for lunch as a first timer and I can say I will Not be returning. The waitstaff are pushy and rushed my whole experience. So I was not a fan of that. This place was packed but with no line. Mostly tables full. You walk in pick a seat and then a waiter will come to you. Well when I walked in I had no idea that was the thing. I was rushed off to sit by the wait staff who came off as "here hurry sit here" while slapping the menu on the table then quickly walking away. Geesh.. I ended up picking a more comfortable table setting that was not dirty and felt better for my experience there. Anyhow the wait staff returns and I order an open faced sandwich with a cappuccino. Let me tell you their Cappuccino comes in this awkward like bowl cup that is XXL in size. I particularly did not like drinking out of a bowl like cup with no handle. The cappuccino was lukewarm and lacked in flavor. The open face Turkey sandwich was to die for. I enjoyed that very much. What I did not enjoy about it was it was $15 bucks and came with no side. No chips, no side salad. Nothing. So I ordered a fruit tart that was an addition. SMDH. The fruit tart was meh blan in taste. Lacked flavor. I was never checked on if my meal was going well but hey.. Their excuse might be they are too busy. Who knows... anyhow I paid and left. Never to return. My two star review was due to bad wait staff service and over priced food that ended up not being a complete meal and half my meal was lacking in taste lukewarm beverage that support to be at least heated up to a temp that made me feel warm on a cold rainy day and the fact that I was sat at a dirty table they tried to placed me at. read more

I am always surprised to see this place only gets 3+ stars. I go out for coffee quite frequently and have found this place my go to. For starters, it is easy to get to, easy to park (with 2 garages) and the atmosphere is very 'fresh/clean/appealing', it has great light. The menu is very thorough, lots of good offerings and the coffee is excellent. The table set up is awesome, if you are going with a larger group they have a lovely long table for your gathering and yet lots of tables for 2. The servers are always so friendly and helpful, yesterday I brought a friend who had never been and we had THE NICEST waitress, "Atsede" Can't say enough good things about her, just that perfect mix of knowing when to stop by the table and knowing when not to. She was very familiar with the menu, could answer questions and made the experience absolutely delightful. Good job on your hires! read more

Service was one of the best out of all the bakeries/ coffee shops we have been to. Elane was great, very courteous. She is a big reason we would come back. The vibe was also nice, and the food, especially the gluten free options for desert (chia seed pudding and macaroons) were exceptional . And the locally famous gluten free bread of course. Thank you Le Pain. read more

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. Their best sandwich is very easy to order. They have it displayed right in front of the cashier. The sandwich includes all my favorites such as fried egg, avocado, cheese and bacon. It's nicely toasted and juicy from the inside. If you're not a fan of avocados in your sandwich you can ask for it as your side. The same goes for bacon. You can ask them to not include bacon if you're health conscious. Ambiance is great! Located very close to Target at Mosaic center. They have outdoor seating as well as an indoor space. Service is amazing! They always welcome you with a nice smile and lots of positivity. Pricing is nominal for a restaurant at this location. I paid $7.5 for my breakfast sandwich that included everything that I mentioned earlier. Parking is free in the parking space with across the street from this restaurant. Definitely worth a try if you're visiting this area or have been working/living near Mosaic center. read more
