Brioche Doree

Don’t know if there’s much utility in writing a review for an airport restaurant — people are going to eat whatever happens to be available — but it’s worth commenting on the remarkably bad service at this place (which was actually the K corridor location). After yelling at customers who apparently were lining up in the wrong direction, the girl at the register (Lakesha) very brusquely took our orders; I actually had to ask her to let me add a second sandwich to my order, since she gave me the price before I could open my mouth for the second part of the order. (Incidentally, the price was an unpleasant surprise, given that sandwich prices aren’t actually posted). We were given no direction on what to do next, which was apparently to tell someone else entirely what sandwich we wanted so that it could be toasted. Turns out that they sold me a sandwich they didn’t even have — there was a different sandwich in that slot — and when I pointed that out, the woman just stared at me and shrugged. In the end, I had a lackluster substitute sandwich that I didn’t even want and overall irritating experience. Starbucks is right across the food court, and I guarantee that they have better — and cheaper — sandwiches.

The workers were close to bickering about their break schedule, not exactly mindful that airport customers might be very time-​pressed. I wasn’t — else this might be an even harsher review! Ordered a muffin and it was ok, but not worth the premium price. I’ve been to another Brioche Doree at a different airport and had a similar experience — I think these place figure that they have the airport concession and a captive audience, so why bother?

The airport coffee I just had at O’Hare was NOT GOOD! Definitely not trying again. Starbucks is a better option.

I bought a «grilled chicken» salad with shaved almonds, strawberries, blueberries, red peppers, and mushrooms. I found two dead bugs in the salad and stopped eating it.
It was also sketchy that their salads come without a sticker or extra plastic keeping the containers shut. It seems very easy for outside contaminants to get into their salads.
Next time I’ll just get greasy pizza instead of trying to be healthy!

Not worth my $ 14. Stopped on the way to my gate. One of the women were rude to the customer in front of me simply because she was asking where the prices were. I tried to be extra pleasant to lighten their day. I got the Tuscan sandwich, untoasted since I planned to eat it right away. Disgusting. The bread was obviously stale and days old. The lettuce was brown. Mind you, it was 7 am, I understand most people aren’t getting this sandwich that early. But to me, if it’s earlier it should be fresher. Upon unwrapping I realized this sandwich was not made today, maybe not yesterday. Sadly like most people, I was already on my plane before I realized I wasted my money. With a two hour flight, I ate my chips and flew hungry.
On a side note, while waiting for my change the cashier turned to correct one of the other staff members. She was writing down the temperatures without actually CHECKING the temperatures. When the woman was corrected she rolled her eyes and shrugged off. Clearly things are falling through the cracks. I wish I had stopped somewhere else.

I mean, it’s airport coffee? But it’s GOOD airport coffee. Certainly better than Starbucks by a long stretch.
I went for the dark chocolate mocha and an egg & sausage breakfast sandwhich, which was a nice way to grab some protein and caffeine before being strapped into a plane for a couple of hours.
The options at O’hare are pretty hit and miss, but I think Brioche Doree is worth it if you’re near one of their locations in the terminal.

Awful, even for airport food, and without bringing their exorbitant prices into the discussion. The seemingly simple act of trying to grab a pre-​made sandwich for eating in-​flight really shouldn’t be this complicated.
Purchased was a Tuscan Sandwich and 20 oz. bottle of Diet Coke for $ 12.99. The sandwich consisted of a few slices of processed meat and cheese, together with a bit of wilted vegetation. This mess was tossed into a horribly stale ciabatta roll, a relic from 5 years ago which might actually have been fresh 5 years ago. The sandwich was then wrapped in enough plastic film and tape to make opening it in a tight airplane seat a messy ten minute ordeal.
I suppose that I should consider myself fortunate that Brioche Doree hadn’t figured out a way to laminate the bottle of Diet Coke.
Brioche Doree is yet another «HMS Host» airport concession. This company, in my experiences, has singularly made airport food horrific from coast to coast.

Horrible service Carrie… Sucked .food horrible was told after she over microwaved it was the quality of food. well either way I don’t want to eat a hard item.

Disappointing. Brioche Dorée is a French bakery chain originating in Brest. You would NOT guess that from eating here. Brest, in Brittany, offers the very best in cuisine. Not the case at this place.

Eek! Methinks not is a good description of how I feel about this place.
Only grabbed a snack here, no drinks. Found the chocolate croissant to be stale/​dried out. Worst spent $ 3 in a while.
Customer service was brisk, but nothing to complain about.

Another typical airport food spot that is unimpressive on the whole.
Service staff was friendly, but the food was not that great. I had the chicken dijon sandwich and the chicken was cold. They ran it through the toaster oven and it didn’t get the chicken warm at all. Whatever, they used the cold processed chicken patties that you can buy from Costco and just sliced it up – not even cleanly – you can still tell it’s just stuck together. They reheated it and it still wasn’t warm, but I didn’t want to bother complaining again.
My water had an nondescript curly short hair in it. I didn’t drink it, obv.
If I’m in the O’Hare airport again, I’ll probably just shoot for something I’m familiar with instead of going for hot (cold) foods.
dmo out.

Good sandwich and salad, and just a little less expensive than airline food.

the cranberry orange scone was good.
everything else was kinda meh.
turkey, brie, and apple sandwich was dry.
the red apple that i got ($ 1.19!) was over ripe.
airport food is just expensive… $ 9.00 + for sandwich.

They had a bunch of sandwiches and I was debating between the tuna salad croissant sandwich or the Tuscan sandwich (ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato on regular bun). The Tuscan sandwich was only okay. Not really much flavor and the bun was too much bread. It made me regret not getting the tuna salad sandwich! At least the croissant wouldn’t have let me down! Cost was about $ 10. Service was relatively fast though which was nice since my flight was about to board in five minutes.

Hungry daughter and I came here before boarding our connecting flight, early morning on Xmas Eve. The breakfast items were mostly gone, except for a couple sm quiches and croissant breakfast sandwiches. My vegetarian daughter specifically asked if the quiche nearest the «cheese quiche» sign was vegetarian. The two employees giggled and said, «yeah, sure!» I asked for a croissant sandwich. They heated both items up in the microwave. While waiting I got to watch more croissant sandwiches being assembled — and it wasn’t a pretty sight: bagged, precooked, un-​natural-​looking rounds of egg and slices of «cheese» product.
When we got to our gate to sit and eat, we discovered the cheese quiche had some diced meat in it. And the croissant was a tasteless blob. Yuck. With juice, the total was $ 17.50 — with no time to get a refund.

It is always important to eat well during a stop over. In this case it was the Chicago airport where I had the pleasure of stopping by Brioche Doree. A cute sandwich stand, the service was quick and efficient. Unfortunately, my cheese sandwich was soggy and off. They tried hard, but it couldn’t deliver. I also had one of their cinni rolls, which was not soft and chewy. Drinks were quite expensive with a Perrier water being close to $ 4.00.
I am sorry, but I can’t recommend Brioche Doree.
Take care and enjoy the Chicago Airport.

Somehow the sandwiches at Brioche Doree looked tasty when my belly was growling and I had another 2-​hour flight to board. After debating between the turkey, brie with apples, roast beef with cheddar, and something called a ”Tuscan”, I opted for the turkey and bacon sandwich on marble bread.
It was definitely edible but not much else. The turkey was fine but there were only two slices. The bacon was 90% fat — and being cold it was gross. The lettuce and tomatoes were wilted and mushy while one of the bread slices was stale and hard. They had no condiments to spice it up, and no napkin either.
I paid a total of $ 12.46 for a stale turkey sandwich and bottle of water. That included ”tax” of (by my calculations) of 11.45%. Can you say ”complete ripofff”? There are better choices at Chicago O’Hare.

did not want anything greasy at ORD before I hoped on an international flight so I bought a banana smoothie and I told the guy I do not want sugar, syrup or whatever the B. S stuff people put in smoothies now. Simple banana, milk, honey smoothie and it was real good. Worth it.

Wow. Baguette with Turkey, Brie, Apple and More!
I ate less than half and tossed the rest. It was about 13 bucks for this sandwich and a milk. It looked and sounded so yummy. Here are the problems:
1. Baguette. Bread sucked. Dry like death valley. Crumbly.
2. Turkey meat was the processed sliced type.
3. Lower quality Brie.
The ladies were super nice. The sandwich was just terrible.

Since when has our society accepted stale, hard, three day old bread only if it is called a «crusty baguette»?
Who the hell are you kidding?
I picked up a couple sandwiches here before my flight. The contents of the sandwiches was «OK» but the bread was hard as a rock. I felt a trip to the dentist might be in order after polishing those sandwiches off.
And $ 1.35 for a banana when Wal Mart sells same for 35c a pound?
Please.
This place is generally a rip off that serves typical airport food junk. Nothing great here at all.
