Le Pain Quotidien - Claremont, California

This place was super cute and cozy! We went for a bridal brunch and they were very accommodating to us. We didn't make a reservation but they were able to seat us at a long table with plenty of space. The food was delicious and light. The matcha coffee was good too with different milk choices available! I'd come here again.

Had a fantastic breakfast here! I ordered the steel cut oatmeal with walnuts and honey, and it was the perfect mix of hearty and sweet—exactly what I was looking for. My hot latte was spot on too, served in this massive “bowl” mug that was really fun to hold—once it cooled down a bit, of course. My wife had the Ham and Gruyère croissant, which was flaky, buttery, and delicious. She paired it with a cold brew, which was refreshing and smooth.

The atmosphere here is cozy, with a warm and inviting vibe that makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy your meal. The service was friendly and attentive, rounding out an all-around great experience. Highly recommend this place for a laid-back, delicious breakfast in Claremont.

Okay so I’ve been here twice now and really not impressed. The first time I ordered avocado toast and it was just okay. This time I ordered a breakfast sandwich. The server said they might be out of the brioche, no problem let’s do sourdough. She came back later saying they’re out of sourdough and have no other bread but I could pay extra to get it on a croissant. I really couldn’t comprehend why I would need to pay extra to get the sandwich if they are out of bread.
Another issue was that there were about a dozen gnats flying around our table and quite a few smashed and smeared on the window by previous guests as well. I politely let the manager know & he just shrugged it off saying that this table is the only one with the bug issue (ok if you know about the problem why even seat people here!).

Anyway a new manager came by to discuss the bread issue and she was immediately hostile. She eventually agreed to give me the sandwich on the croissant without the up charge though. But then our server never wanted to come back and check on us, which was a shame because we weren’t upset with her or rude at all. She kept sending the mean manager back over.

My sandwich ended up being really delicious on the croissant and I would definitely pay the up charge if I ever have to go back. My table mates weren’t impressed with their food unfortunately (the tomato soup was pretty similar to a chunky marinara & the egg skillet was oddly dry)

The mushroom quiche is full of flavor and the perfect portion for brunch. I really enjoyed the dressing on my salad as well. Husband loved his salmon tartine and the strong espresso. Thank you to the kind bakers who made a fresh baguette for us while we dined! It was so nice to have a hot baguette to take home. Will be returning again soon.

Visiting our parents in Claremont, we stopped in to Le Pain for lunch one day before visiting the nearby botanical gardens. We grew up overseas in a French speaking country...so the establishment's name drew us in. The food was delicious! They were really busy. So service wasn't super prompt. But we understood. And it certainly was better service than we have received in French restaurants in Paris! 🙂

We went here for lunch and ate outside in the patio as it was a nice sunny day. The table was sticky and did not feel clean even though the server cleaned it with a spray and towel. The menu stuck to the table and made a peeling sound when removed. We ordered the prosciutto manchego fig sandwich. It was good but a very small bite and came with a small salad. The salad was fresh with some sweet tasty tomatoes. The bread is homemade and fresh and tasty. We also ordered the quiche with ham that came with bread and salad for a heartier bite. It was good. They give you free refills on the ice tea and coffee.

Great place for healthy food, I lowered my review to 4 stars because there were kitchen staff issues and increased the wait times. Other than that, we had a very good experience, we enjoyed breakfast and our food was excellent as well as the delicious coffee... We will definitely come back again!!
Thank you.

We ordered the quinoa salad, the mushroom quiche, the black lentil bowl, and a mixed berry tart. EVERYTHING was a hit! The plating was beautiful and the flavors were delicious. The service was great as well! Overall great experience!
