Le Pain Quotidien is a chain of french style bakery that originated from Brussels, Belgium, where the first store opened in 1990. Today Le Pain Quotidien is found all over Europe, the Middle East and United States (New York City and Los Angeles).The name, Le Pain Quotidien means The Daily Bread in French. The philosophy of the bakery is to provide good, wholesome and healthy bread (and other baked goods) to the customers.
This photo, taken outside the Chelsea branch on 7th Avenue between 17th and 18th Street, showcased the desserts section of the bakery. Clockwise from top left are the raspberry tart, mini mousse dome, mix berry tart, lemon tart, french cream donut, large lemon tart, apple pie, chocolate mousse cake and large mixed berry tart.
You can see the delicious french baguettes on the top left corner. The bakery also sells those beautiful round sourdough breads that are commonly found in Parisian bakeries. Click here to see the display of sourdough breads at the store.

Did you buy any ? I would love some fresh bakes and of course, any chocolate mousse. Wonder if they use Belgium chocs ? Usually I will have trouble choosing what I want in such a bakery.:D
I could live in this place.

arrghh. i can just imagine the smell now, and it makes me melt.
Oh I love Le Pain Quotidien. I could eat a whole jar of their praline spread at one sitting (in fact, I almost have done - I've just stopped buying it now, better that way really...).
I just googled "pain quotidien usa" and you were the first link!!! Congrats, félicitations and thanks to promote all good Belgian things.
