Le Pain Quotidien San Vicente Blvd

The menu here mirrors that of Le Pain Quotidien in Beverly Hills and possibly at their other branches, as this is a national and international chain. Vegan-friendly options are clearly marked with an orange carrot on the menu, making it easy to find suitable dishes. The freshly baked artisanal bread is delicious, though on the pricier side. You can choose between a half or whole loaf. I also noticed a vegan scone available in the pastry section, similar to what they offer in Beverly Hills. This spot is welcoming to everyone—vegetarians, vegans, and non-vegetarians alike—making it a great place to enjoy a meal together. You can dine inside at communal wooden tables or sit outside. While it’s not the most budget-friendly option, the open-faced sandwiches may be slightly smaller than expected. However, this is Brentwood, West LA, after all, where Le Pain Quotidien targets a mid-range clientele.

Choosing between Le Pain and À Votre Santé can be challenging. However, À Votre Santé has the advantage of easier parking, while Le Pain offers validation for the garage below. I particularly enjoy the outdoor seating on weekends; it’s a great spot for joggers coming from the center of San Vicente. There’s also a courtyard in the back where many people like to bring their dogs.
