" I cannot believe I waited so long to try this place! The croissants remind me of those I had in France. Perfectly crispy and buttery—just divine. The café is charming, perfect for Sunday brunch with friends. I'd suggest ordering a couple of pastries to indulge in. You won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepping into Pain Perdu feels like a trip to France! The croissants are unrivaled — flaky, buttery, and fresh. They serve a fantastic café au lait in a bowl, which pairs perfectly with their pastries. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax with a book or catch up with friends. I've been coming here for years, and each visit is a pleasure. " (*Curated Review*)

" A great place for brunch! The croissants are the highlight - flaky and delicious! However, I found the overall vibe a bit crowded when I visited on a weekend. The service was friendly, and the coffee was good. I’d recommend trying out the pastries! " (*Curated Review*)

" Service with a grin! Fantastic pastries served efficiently at Pain Perdu. The croissants seriously rival anything I've had in France. Their seating is very limited, which adds to the intimate charm but brings in the weekend crowd, so go early! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's hard to find a pastry shop that feels like it's straight out of France, but Pain Perdu does just that! The croissants and pastries are outstanding, and the vibe is undeniably charming. I just wish they had more seating to accommodate everyone. Still, worth every penny! " (*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*)
