The baker good look delicious however they were not the best I have had. Good location, good service but need to improve on the taste of the quiche and croissant.

Located in the Plaza food hall, Pain D’Avignon is one of the only cafes within walking distance from my office serving Stomptown coffee. With the exception of one particularly experience where my latte tasted slight burnt, the lattes and cappuccinos here are always on point, smooth, strong, with the perfect amount of foam. Their pastries are also quite good which they will heat it up for you, the kouign amman, walnut croissant were perfectly flaky and buttery.

Mornings in New York are my favorite. The city just sounds different in the morning, and it’s not as packed everywhere you try to go(except coffee shops). En route to my morning appointment, I stopped by Pain D’Avignon in the Plaza Food Hall to grab a croissant(ham and cheese) for a quick bite. The bread and pastries looked really good and fresh, and it was hard to choose just one. With a few minutes left to spare, I was able to sit by myself in peace next to the escalator and munch on my breakfast. If I find myself in this area again, I’d definitely love to try some of their sweeter fare.

About the last thing I expected to find in the basement-level Plaza Food Hall was a French bakery, but I’m always open to sampling surprises. I’m very happy I did, as even on a Sunday afternoon they had a very diverse selection of extremely fresh breads available. I walked away with one large baguette, one large ciabatta, and a small pain francaise. All were well-baked, and the staff were fast and cheerful. A great find, and a place I’m looking forward to coming back to, as there is no life without bread.

The Kouign Amann here was lackluster compared to Dominique Ansel’s. It was dense and sticky, not at all fluffy/flaky. And the guys working the kiosk were pretty inattentive. I also got 12oz. of Stumptown drip coffee here. If you want cream for your joe, they leave room and top it off with(too much) whole milk for you. Only sugar, which I don’t take with my coffee, is self-served. Their breads and pastries are so… pretty… though. And that logo with a bread-peddling road bike, so enticing to my inner hipster(argh… so easy), will give Pain D’Avignon many more tries, I’m sure; looking forward to checking out their retail store in LES’ Essex Market.

Absolutely delicious! I first fell in love with their breads at the Bergdorf Goodman’s Restaurant, where I had loved their mini long rolls with picholine olives and rosemary. Mmm! At the Plaza food hall, I had a cranberry pecan mini-pull apart roll with a brick(no joke) of butter. Jose, the guy working at the counter, was super cool. Reasonably priced compared to some of the other offerings at the food hall.

Stumptown coffee boom… whats not to like . Oh they serve it in a crap cup and you can’t find a seat but its still good coffee. My suggestion is one of you grab a seat the other grab the coffee then a second mission out to grab a cake from one of the many dessert stands here in the plaza.

If a place makes bomb ass fresh bread, they probably make a bomb ass bread pudding. [Chinese proverb] I can vouch for this, especially when said bread pudding is lemon apple flavored.

Excellent breads. Everything looks really good, but all I tried this time was the Chocolate Pistachio Escargot. This is a very generously sized piece of rich, buttery, and extremely chocolatey bread. They have several other awesome looking choices, like Chocolate Brioche, Croissants, and even the plain loaves of bread. There are so many other good choices in the Food Hall, like Three Tarts, YoArt, Billy’s and Lady M, but you shouldn’t overlook this one.
