Le Quartier Bakery & Café

Le Quartier is one of those places where five stars is not enough. This is one of the best spots in the Midwest, let alone Nebraska, to get authentic French patisserie. The pain au chocolat sends me over the moon with every bite. The delectable crunch, the buttery sweetness of the pastry, the soft bitterness of the dark chocolate - to die for. Every BLT I’ve made with their take-home sourdough? To die for. The baguettes? Perfect. The breakfast sandwiches do not get enough hype for as spectacular as they are. They’ve added gelato to the menu, and all I can say is I’ve got to start exercising more.

If you have not tried this place while in Lincoln....you should. We tried a breakfast sand, French dip and then bought some pastries and macaroons. Everything was amazing. Hands down one of my favorite places to eat ever. We have already put it in our itinerary to stop by before we head back home tomorrow. Very impressed and every worker was authentic and kind. They had a revolving door of patrons which also leads me to believe they are consistent on their whole presentation.

Came for breakfast on a Tuesday morning and tried the Ham and Swiss croissant sandwich. It was absolutely delicious, light and buttery tasting. The sandwiches were out in about 5 minutes. It is a bit pricey, but the quality was well worth it! You would pay the same for awful quality at Panera. They have a wide variety of menu options. Can’t wait to come back here again.
