Poilane reviews



I have bought the rye bread on several occasions and it has always been very good. Unfortunately, the last one I bought had a very disturbing (weird, not like the other ones I bought) taste. I called the Elizabeth St. store today and talked to the manager. She was helpful and understanding.

The bread is good,I agree, but Le Pain Quotidien (several stores in London) match it with their sourdough bread.

The best bread by far. When fresh it is truly fantastic! Basically the king of all breads.

Their bread was worse than Greggs. I have had better-tasting cardboard. How much for a cream slice?!? What a joke. NO STARS.

Fantastic bread, nothing to do with the bread you can buy in most places these days.
