Le Pain Quotidien 13455 Maxella Avenue, Marina del Rey, CA 90292

"The food and pastries and so yummy and fresh. Had the sweet potato breakfast bowl and it was delicious, highly recommend that for a healthy and yummy meal. I forgot the waiters name but he was awesome, the only one working the floor and he kept on top of everything and remained so nice and helpful."

"Le Pain Quotidien is an absolute gem! It's got this great, chill vibe and the staff are super friendly – they make you feel right at home. The food? Amazing! Everything comes out fast, but the quality is top-notch. You've got to try the smoked salmon omelette; it's so flavorful and hits the spot every time. And the latte with oat milk is the perfect pairing – creamy and just plain delicious. It's my go-to spot for a relaxed meal that never disappoints."

"Stopped in for a late breakfast while waiting to go to an early movie. For a Sunday, and the only thing open in the center, I was pleasantly surprised to walk in and sit down. The place was hopping and even though it appeared they were understaffed, I was greeted immediately and was checked on a few times, and everyone was friendly. I had a breakfast bowl that was filled with greens, grains, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, avocado, seeds, and topped with a sunny side up egg. It came with two pieces of their freshly baked bread. They offered salsa or dressing, but a squeeze of lemon and some fresh ground pepper was all I needed to appease my taste. I was very pleased!"

"There is a new chef in town! LPQ MDR has been a go-to for me for awhile, but recently, they have hired a new chef and the food tastes delicious and looks incredible. You can't go wrong with the mushroom and goat cheese omelet, smoked salmon omelet, chia seed pudding (with or without compote), oatmeal, avocado toast, any of the flatbreads or any of the baked goods/pastries. The service is always excellent and the team here is like family. During my last visit, David was hospitable and warmly greeted me upon entrance; David is a warm, wonderful person. Carlos was our extraordinary server; Carlos goes out of his way to ensure the food and service are to your satisfaction. Bassam, who has been a manager for years, is welcoming and exhibits great team leadership; it appears that he not only leads but is also part of the team working to ensure smooth bakery and restaurant operations. Cynthia is professional and courteous each time she answers the phone or responds to a request. Finally, Sharday is friendly, warm and welcoming, and it is always a delight to see and chat with Sharday. I highly recommend this LPQ!"

"Great place for breakfast. We were in Santa Monica and looking for a place to have breakfast. We found this nice looking place and wanted to give it a chance. I'm so glad that we did. We had the avocado toast and chocolate croissant each. Avocado toast was very flavorful, and I totally recommend it. And the chocolate croissant was the best I ever had, oh man. We were served by David and he was so kind and took very good care of us. The presentation of the food and coffee is also very aesthetic. There is also plenty of free parking spaces available nearby."
