"Le Pain Quotidien is a long-running Belgian bakery chain that opened its first location in the U.S. on Madison Avenue as a destination for New Yorkers, but ended up being not always so great. Its specialty has always been breads, of which the croissant is a species. Though misshapen, this elongated and burnished croissant is still formidable, more flaky than buttery. $4." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
