Le Pain Du Jour Bakery — Restaurant in Hawthorne

I was craving bread. Google pointed me to this bakery. I took a chance. There were no tables or chairs and my plan was to sit, eat and relax. The server told me right away "do you guys want to sit? I'll set a table for you outside" 😱😍 Then I already thought that this experience would be good, because a friendly, attentive staff already enriches the spot. We ordered ham and cheese croissants. Now you think about a fresh, crispy puff pastry, Golden on top, juicy inside and a generous layer of cheese and ham. Feels like heaven!!! We even brought home croissants of guava and cream cheese and more ham and cheese croissants. Couldn't help it To good ro have just one.

I highly recommend this place because it really represents French cuisine.

The only thing I leave as a suggestion is to sell sandwiches with your bread (European style), instead of just being able to buy the whole bread to eat at home. But this is not a complaim because I do respect your business system but it would be a good option, it would be.

I loved it and I will come back Congratulations to the staff for their professionalism and for the...

I was just looking for an special bakery, and I found it. This bakery has the best almond chocolate bread I’ve ever eaten. It is a French bakery, but in Paris they do not have any like this, and I tried a lot there. Outstanding croissants. Sourdough bread with that huge newborn baby size. Crunchy delicious. Service was very kind, generous and nice. It was my first time, but for sure not my last. Go and try. I think earlier than noon (the time of my visit) they must have a bunch more of delicious stuff. I saw an old espresso machine, that kind of machines which make real European espresso, and I’ll try one of them next visit time. I saw also some baguette bars and some French bread for sandwiches. I wanted to buy everything! Prices were more than fair. By the way they have a very nice murals and safe parking spots. 🥖 Go there, they deserve an opportunity. Thanks again I’ll be there sooner than I expected. Sorry for the big messy desk, you cannot do it in...

This little gem is absolutely amazing!! We have passed by here many, many times and I never stop. Yesterday I literally made a u-turn as if the shoo was calling my name! Boy-o-boy was it worth it! I had a churro croissant and YES, it's exactly what it sounds like...covered in cinnamon sugar and a cream cheese surprise filling...It was absolutely amazing. They have a day-old rack that I noticed on my way out. I will be sure to check it out next time. They make everything inside...You can see the baker as he is whipping up treats. He even came out to tell me what he had just taken out of the oven! The macaroons looked just as amazing as the scones...I want to try the strawberry scones next time. They had 4 or 6 different macaroon flavors from vanilla, to blueberry (just to name a few). I can't...
