Le Pain Quotidien

The Belgian bakery-cafe chain's communal-table format, steps from the Gateway of India.

European bakery-cafe design with proper communal tables and decent AC makes this one of the more comfortable sit-and-work options near Apollo Bunder — a bit pricier, but the large-table format and calmer weekday mornings suit a couple of hours with a laptop.
