my fiancee and i came here for some french baked goods.. their almond croissant was a bit heavy for me.. their sandwiches were pretty damn tasty though as the bread is absolutely delicious..
i also recommend checking out their sweet potato soup which was quite good -

As far as I'm concerned, Au Pain Doré gets five stars. I noticed this bakery at night and made a mental note to return for breakfast fare at 7am when its doors would open.
The plan was to get seven croissants -- one for each person in our traveling group. When I saw the pains aux chocolat and the pains aux raisins (called "chocolatines" and "roulés aux raisins" in Canada), I asked for one of each because I was curious. As the employee prepared to grab a chocolatine, I noticed that they had mini versions of their baked goods! At a discounted price for six items purchased, too!
I walked out with seven regular-sized croissants, seven mini chocolatines, and seven mini roulés aux raisins. As per my request they were all divided into several bags, which all fit into a five-cent plastic bag. The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable; I was pleased, to say the least.
Back at the hotel, we sampled the goods. The croissants were soft and flaky with a subdued buttery taste. I prefer my croissants with a bit more flavor, but the texture was so wonderful and I was so pleasantly surprised that it suited me perfectly. I ate it so fast that I didn't have the time to think about taking a picture!
Naturally I couldn't wait to taste the adorable mini chocolatine; this time I took a picture! It was every bit as flaky as the croissant. The chocolate was good, too -- it was all gone in a matter of seconds.
I saved the mini roulé aux raisins for later. I ended up eating it on the bus; what a delightful little bite! Who could say no to a golden flaky custardy raisiny snack? Certainly not me!Listed in: EH?!

Boring, unsightly sandwiches but the pastries make me sooooooo hot. I wolfed down an almond croissant only to return a couple of hours later to share a plain one. Someone please teach me how to have more self control!!!!!!

walked in the store for some easy no frills food and i got was expensive food that was not terrible but i had better.
I had the Dolce-vita sandwich that was mostly mustard flavor, bread was really hard but had great flavor. NOt a lot of meat on the sandwches..
All 5 of my friends said the same thing..expensive food thats barely mediocre..maybe it was the day, slow day for them... -

The baguette had a great texture, but the flavor wasn't there. I wasn't a big fan of the macarons either (but I don't know what good macarons taste like...). The croissant was good, but I've had better.
Good seating area upstairs though.
