My first experience with Le Pain Quotidien was in Paris in 2004. I wanted to load my suitcase full of all their jams and bread.
When I travel, especially in a large city, I tend to crave a classic European style breakfast. For me, that is a soft boiled egg, gruyere cheese, bread and a double americano.
I love their communal tables, classical music and amazing bread. They are now in 18 countries, but not yet in Seattle. I love them.
Today, New York. Soon, Seattle?
