Le Pain Quotidien, Colaba

I walked into Le Pain Quotidien on a Thursday afternoon to grab a quick bite. A day that started at 5:00am all the way from Pune had me craving for a rich coffee and a quiche. I wanted to grab a bite at a peaceful place (the Andheri daredevil rickshaw rides were to blame I […]
