I’m certain there’s TWO in Euston(at least there was when I was there in October)
Isn't the other one the APTLY NAMED "LE PAIN QUOTIDIEN"?

The baguettes do look shockingly dry and displeasing. I'd not be surprised if someone has at some point sliced their gums open whilst tucking into one of their exquisite delicaciesLast time I checked (I think there is one in Euston) the prices were something ridiculous like 8 quid for a SAD BAGUETTE so 1.89 for a bottle of water is a STEAL.
Oh now that's MUCH more upmarket. I like to pop there after a visit to HARRODSIsn't the other one the APTLY NAMED "LE PAIN QUOTIDIEN"?

EQUALLY DELICIOUS IN MY EXPERIENCEMy apologies, I checked this HIGHLY IMPORTANT MATTER and I can confirm it ain't a PAIN QUOTIDIEN, but an UPPER CRUST instead![]()
ST PANCRAS NO LESS!Fans of PASTRIES at TRAIN STATIONS will be pleased to know Kings Cross now has a deluxe GREGGS.
Magickal reasons OF COURSE. Although it's surely not far off being #23Well, that answers a question.
Is it really #23 or was the number chosen for magickal reasons?
The compliments as warm as the tea and coffee!High praise pouring in for UPPER CRUST EUSTON
Insane prices for gross food
Had to take an early train at Euston and the only things before 6am are upper crust and délices de France. I paid almost £9 for a disgusting coffee and a gross cheese&egg muffin + the service was extremely slow and unpleasant ().
People are so unkind. The mice were HUNGRY and should be pitied if they think they're going to find tasty scraps in DELICE DE FRANCEView attachment 9046
Would give it 0 stars if it was an option without even having ate or drank here.
Sat outside on the bench whilst waiting for our airport pick up (the cafe was shut)
And seen 3 mice running around, u fed the tables, in and out of the kitchens.
Absolutely disgusting.
Manchester AirportWhich branch is that?
Omg totally going there in a couple of months to get food poisoning MID-FLIGHT.Manchester Airport![]()
I know, if Paris bound why even bother taking your flight?I must say the METRO picture and the TOUR D'EIFFEL give it a very special sense of AUTHENTIC![]()

I’m actually pro-staff member on that on. The customer sounds awful and like someone who complains about anything.
Poor all round
Went to the location close to Pearse Train station for a bit of lunch and to get out of the rain. Asked for two croissants, one with ham and cheese, and one with just cheese. Was told that they don't have ones with "just cheese" which I found remarkable, considering I could get one with ham and cheese. I asked could he not just do one without the ham, and was told "well I can take the ham out of one but it will be "stained" by the ham." Sounds appetising. I asked if he doesn't have plain croissants behind the counter, and cheese, and he just replied "no" with a face on him. If they don't have plain croissants behind the counter, when and where are the ones that are already prepared made up? My personal opinion is that he just wasn't bothered.
Took our two croissants, including the "ham stained" one back to the table. The table that had crumbs and butter and jam all over it from the previous customer.
The place is a mess, and the service was lousy. Won't be back.
As my mother would say, "he'd look funny without one".

The staff member only gets one gold star from me and that’s for “stained” (I’m actually pro-staff member on that on. The customer sounds awful and like someone who complains about anything.
His first mistake was assuming that the savoury croissants are handmade on site!
