Le Pain Quotidien

We visited Le Pain per usual for our Brunch Sunday, arrived pretty reasonable time, whilst upstairs was pretty empty they were rather queue up people on the entrance,…We were seated and ordered brunch with Bacon and Avocado after 20 minutes wait the waitress informed us that they ran out avocado 🥑 !!!

We were not bothered said ok cool, food arrived after 30 minutes we ordered. Surprisingly 10 minutes later table near us who arrived after us got their breakfast and guess what?!

Surprise Surprise everyone were getting their breakfast and we could see avocado 🥑 in most plates flying around!
Unbelievable service and surely we WONT come back ever again! Disappointed.

We came here for sweets & coffee only. Had the scones with jam. Reasonably priced and taste was above average. Service was great, attentive & quick staff.

Can def recommend.

Been going to the Notting Hill Gate branch fairly regularly for the past year. Food is usually good, and coffee is excellent, but service is astonishingly variable. Young (Scandinavian, German, Polish?) man, for example, is excellent: efficient, friendly, professional. Some of the other staff don't seem to be up to the job. The waiter today hadn't taken my order 15 minutes after seating me. When I asked why not, she said, with no apology, that they were busy. When I came in, I was the fourth cover I could see in the front room. Maybe the back room was packed...
Assuming she's new to the job, why wasn't someone checking she was coping - serving customers in order, for example?
I've checked a spend of £10-20 below because that's my usual bill, but I had to leave without eating today because I couldn't waste any more time.

My everyday coffee stop ☕️ super nice staff,very welcoming place and delicious pastries 🍰 😋 yes yes yes. Also amazing for a brunch! My avo toast with mushrooms on side was really satisfying 😌

I ordered the French toast, was incredibly dry and disappointing, would not recommend. Otherwise they had fresh juice which tasted good and everything was reasonably priced.

I've always loved Le Pain Quotidian. My local and more regularly visited one is off Marlyebone High Street. But I recently visited this one with a friend and enjoyed a buttery delicious and warm scone with clotted cream and jam, and a matcha latte. Delicious! I also like how much seating there is here.

The atmosphere is like any other LPQ restaurant. The food was okay, although the waffle with mushrooms had a big portion, it felt like it didn’t really work. The minestrone soup was also okay. The sandwich was a bit slow but tasted good. Overall, this is a good resting place with okay food.

I loved this place 😊 Straigh off Notting Hill Gate tube. Our service was amazing and the server so friendly and funny, chatting to us all the time. The doors were open on the front letting the warm summer morning air in and letting you catch the hustle and bustle of the street.
They do a picnic takeaway box which would have been great but we opted for a late Breakfast with me having Baked Eggs with Potobello Mushrooms...... they were amazing and it had to be done considering the area we were in.
The cost was very reasonable and it was just a lovely place to be 😊
