Le Quartier Bakery & Café - Meridian Park — Restaurant in Lincoln

Came here on the spur of the moment just to get some pastries and was very much impressed with all the bread and funky stuff here that we ended up getting much more than expected.

Firstly, the size of the breads was Ginormous! I was just stating and trying to comprehend the size! Especially for the baguettes and the sourdough.

I took the sweet potato bread with dates and pecans and this was just phenomenal! What a soft loaf and the perfect sweetness and crunch and eveything! I just ate a slice of it as soon as I got to my car and it was really hard to stop. The bread does not need any toppings or even toasting or anything. It's just perfect as is!

My boyfriend and I also split one of the Raspberry Mascarpone filled Cruffins. It was so soft and perfect! We went just before closing but this was as if it were freshly baked. The flakiness of the cropping was on point and the sweetness was right there as well. I love the cream filling by itself and just had it with a spoon haha. Really wish I had gone for another!

We also got some macaroons to go. The vanilla, pistachio and lemon poppy seed. It felt like these were a bit too overly sweet. Like eating a spoonful of sugar. I don't think I would get these again.

The other baked goods though......

We ordered ahead for Christmas and when I went they did not have my order. I sat for 15 min until they finally found it. I understood because they were busy so I let it go.

I then preordered rolls and orange rolls for Easter. After 20 min and 3 checks in the back they couldn’t find my order. I had my confirmation email and finally convinced them to just make my order on the fly. So they did, however they didn’t even bother to put anything in a bag to help me carry it out. At this point I was very annoyed but thought oh well.

I then received a call at 3pm asking when I’d be in to pick up my order……

Fast forward to Easter morning… the orange rolls were old and had zero moisture and both my kids looked at me and go “these don’t even taste like orange.”

Considering what is charged I am strongly disappointed in the lack of organization and lately the quality. Unfortunately after 2 bad experiences I don’t think I’ll do holiday...

We stepped into Le Quartier for the very first time. A young woman whose soulful smile felt like sunshine took our order,and we left clutching a morning bun and a lemon bar. Back home, I pulled my sun chair into the shade of a grand eastern cottonwood tree. With a steaming cup of Turkish coffee in hand and the Le Quartier box on my lap, my first bite of the morning bun filled me with the harmonious blend of the buttery flakiness, sweet-spicy cinnamon sugar, and caramelized edges. My peaceful moment was delightfully interrupted by two squirrels who occupy that tree “rent-free.” I broke off tiny pieces of the bun for them. They loved it—and begged for more—but I was content to keep the rest for myself. The lemon bar was simply perfect—bright, tangy, and just sweet enough. Will I return? Absolutely yes. It sets the tone for the whole week ahead, and I’m grateful for these quiet,...
