" I found Pain Perdu to be a delightful little French bakery! The almond croissant I had was heavenly, with just the right amount of sweetness. The atmosphere is cozy, though seating can be a challenge during busy hours. The service was friendly and helpful. I also appreciated their variety of options for breakfast and lunch, making it a versatile place for any meal of the day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pain Perdu is a fantastic spot! Every time I visit, I feel transported to France. Their pastries are top-notch, and the café au lait is served in a bowl, as it should be! The seating can be limited, but if you manage to get a spot, it's well worth it. I often come here on weekends to enjoy a relaxed breakfast with friends. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Pain Perdu, but I was a bit let down by my experience. The croissant was decent but felt a little stale. The ambiance was nice, but I wish the staff were more engaging. Perhaps I just visited on an off day, but I expected a bit more given the rave reviews. I might give it another try, but I’ll remain cautious. " (*Curated Review*)

" While my experience at Pain Perdu was mostly positive, I did encounter some hiccups. The croissants were divine, but I found the sandwich I ordered to be a bit pricier than expected for the portion size. The hot chocolate was rich and delightful, reminiscent of what you'd find in a quaint Parisian café. Overall, a lovely experience worth trying if you can get past the busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant to try Pain Perdu due to mixed reviews, but I'm glad I did! The quiche was light and packed full of flavor. Definitely a worthwhile find, and I'm looking forward to trying more from their menu. Just be prepared for minimal seating. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply one of the best bakeries I have ever visited! Just like in Paris. The croissants are flaky, buttery, and the coffee tastes great. I always come back for their quiche options. The only drawback is finding a seat can be tricky, but that’s because it’s so loved. Just go early and enjoy a slice of heaven! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem on St. Clair! Pain Perdu encapsulates everything a French bakery should be. The rich aroma of baked goods hits you as soon as you enter. I ordered a quiche and was thoroughly impressed by how light and flavorful it was. Their coffee? Just as good! The only downside is how small the place is; I would recommend going during off-peak hours to enjoy it more fully. " (*Curated Review*)
