Love their croissant and salmon/spinach quiche! I have yet to try to lemon meringue tart but I’m pretty sure it’ll be yummy, too!!! It’s a small bakery but they have quality food!!! Ambiance is cozy and cashier was very pleasant!

Ordered the Ham and Swiss croissant, chocolate almond croissant, palmier, and a latte — all excellent quality and beautifully made. Beyond the great pastries, I was happy to support this bakery because they stand for something meaningful and proudly support LGBT+ and Black lives.

Loved this cafe, I had a dark chocolate and pistachio croissant twist and a Carmel macaron prob the best croissant I’ve ever had. The coffee was great and it’s not a pretentious spot. It’s a very authentic place with ppl who like what they do. Can’t wait to visit again.

This bakery was an amazing find on our recent trip to Carmel. The french pastries, sandwiches, and breads are DELICIOUS – as good as anything we’ve had in Paris, and the prices were very reasonable. We bought enough food for 2 for lunch for $30 (including a tip) and took it down Hwy 1 to have a picnic overlooking Bixby Bridge. Lafayette made a great day even better!

Lafayette Bakery is an absolute gem for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful coffee and pastry experience. I recently had the pleasure of trying their mini chocolate croissant, and it was, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever tasted! The flaky, buttery layers melted in my mouth, perfectly complemented by a rich mocha that was simply divine. Nestled in the charming Barnyard area, this quaint spot is a must-visit for your next neighborhood outing. Don’t miss the chance to treat yourself here!

Ordered a vanilla macchiato, and it was honestly disgusting. It was almost entirely over-aerated foam, more like an extremely dry cappuccino than a macchiato. They also shorted me about an inch of milk, and the espresso tasted burnt, so bad I tossed it after two sips.
My husband ordered two pastries — an almond croissant and a blueberry brioche — and both were stale, like they’d been sitting out for days.
The photo shows the so-called “macchiato” just seconds after getting to the car. I should’ve gone back in for a refund, but the two female employees working that morning couldn’t have cared less.
Save your money and your time.

Lafayette Bakery & Cafe is a charming spot with a cozy atmosphere and an incredible selection of freshly baked bread and pastries. Their coffee is delicious, and I love that they offer gluten-free pastry options as well. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit a pleasant experience. Plus, there’s plenty of parking, which is a huge bonus. Highly recommend stopping by for a treat!

Lafayette Bakery in The Barnyard shopping center is an absolute must-stop if you’re in Carmel Valley and craving a true French bakery experience. We visited in the morning and were instantly greeted by the heavenly scent of fresh-baked bread, buttery pastry, and espresso in the air.
We ordered a round of pastries and couldn’t stop smiling with every bite. The butter croissant was textbook perfect—golden, flaky layers with a tender, airy center that practically melted in our mouths. The ham and cheese croissant was equally delicious, with a gooey, savory filling wrapped in that same delicate pastry—comforting and indulgent without being heavy.
The standout for me, though, was the lemon-filled pastry. Bright, tangy, and smooth, the lemon curd filling was tucked inside the softest pastry shell and topped with just a dusting of powdered sugar. It struck the perfect balance between sweet and zesty.
We paired our pastries with lattes from the coffee bar, which serves rich, well-pulled espresso drinks that make a perfect match for anything in the pastry case. Sitting out on the patio surrounded by blooming flowers and happy customers felt like a little escape to a French village.
Whether you’re craving a buttery classic, something sweet and citrusy, or a savory breakfast bite, Lafayette hits every note. They also have a variety of sandwiches made to go. Don’t miss it if you’re in Carmel—you’ll be thinking about that croissant long after your visit. Grab some to go to!

I was excited to try their almond croissant but what a disappointment. It was definitely overcooked and had a smudge of filling. 3 pastries for 17.50 is quite expensive for the quality.
