Reviews
If you are looking for an authentic Parisian experience in the heart of New York City, Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery is the place to be.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between high-end elegance and cozy neighborhood charm. The decor is stunning, but the food and drinks are the real stars of the show.
What I Loved:
The Pastries: Their bakery selection is world-class. If you can snag one of their famous “Suprême” circular croissants, do it—they are worth every bit of the hype.
The Coffee: Perfectly brewed, smooth, and served in their signature blue cups. It’s the ideal companion for a morning treat.
The Vibe: Whether you’re sitting down for a full French-brunch or just grabbing a quick latte at the counter, the service is professional and welcoming.
Bottom line: It is a beautiful spot for people-watching, catching up with friends, or treating yourself to the best pastry in Manhattan. I’ll definitely be coming back
We tried the Pain au Chocolat and it was the creamiest, flakiest and most delicious one ever!
The Hot Chocolate was rich and delicious as well.
10/10 recommend for ambience, vibes and baked goods!
I think our favorite part was the bartenders. Even though we didn’t drink at the bar, we couldn’t not see the bartenders. So well dressed and chic
We got the bread basket, the brisket burger, croque madamme, the smoked salmon Benedict , shakshuka, the Bloody Mary, and of course the pistachio croissant to go
Would be fun to come back for dinner.
Bro… this thing is crisp and pillowy at the same time — like it’s confused but in the best way possible. The flavor hits you with toasted bread energy, tangy butter attitude, and that pistachio cream? Straight-up flavor bomb. Looks beautiful too — bronzed up like it spent the weekend in Ibiza, all those fine pastry layers looking like luxury wood grain.
And because I’m a professional eater, I grabbed the spinach cheese quiche too… AMAZING. Light, savory, and classy enough to make me feel like I pay my taxes early.
If we’re talking FOMO… this is the one. Don’t miss it.
The Cinnabon cruffle was the perfect level of sweetness. Absolutely delightful.
There’s just one issue that significantly affected the experience. I sat in the bakery-only section, and the table was quite dirty with items from previous customers still left behind. I waited a few minutes to see if someone would clear it, but no one did. Eventually, I asked a staff member to clean it, and while she did, she seemed annoyed by the request.
Before leaving, the staff mentioned there was a garbage can where I could throw away my trash, which is fine. I always clean up after myself. However, if customers are expected to bus their own tables, it’s especially important to ensure tables are clean and wiped down when new customers arrive to this section, and that someone is responsible for maintaining the area in between in case the last customer doesn’t pick up, which they are entirely within their rights not to do.
Overall, the food was excellent, but a little more attention to cleanliness and service attitude would make the experience even better.
Culinary Highlights
The food is, simply put, a delight. I visited for brunch and was thoroughly impressed:
• The Bakery: The Boulangerie Basket is a must-order. The pastries are truly world-class, with those iconic, ultra-flaky, swirled croissants being the absolute star. The texture and flavor of the different croissants (like the pistachio and chocolate pictured) are pure perfection and entirely worth the hype.
• Brunch Menu: The brunch menu is an expertly executed French bistro dream. Whether you go for something savory like the Croque Madame or the classic Smoked Salmon Benedict, you can tell the ingredients are fresh and the preparation is precise.
• Drinks: The drink menu is expansive, offering everything from classic cocktails like the Manhattan and a selection of fresh-pressed Jus Frais to a deep wine list. The draft beer selection is a great touch for a classic French café.
Ambiance and Service
The vibe is lively and sophisticated, perfect for a celebratory meal, a special date, or a long, leisurely weekend brunch. The outdoor seating (as seen in the video) is an incredible spot to enjoy the buzz of the city while dining. Service was attentive and polished, ensuring a truly five-star experience from start to finish.
Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery is a destination restaurant that absolutely lives up to its reputation.
Pastries of Perfection
Read Time: 2-5 mins
“Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler” , this is Louisiana French Creole for “ let the good times roll”. Every-time I have rolled into Lafayette Bakery, it was a good time. This blissful bakery reminds me of Lafayette city in Louisiana. Why? Just like Lafayette city in Louisiana, Lafayette Bakery is filled with fantastic cuisine. Their staple “ The Supreme”, is one of my absolute favorite sweet treats.
I was first introduced to “The Supreme” this delectable delicacy by Chef Cioe’s wife. I am so grateful for that exposure, because I would have never known of this hidden secret. (Or at least it was a hidden secret to me.) I have tried almost everything in the bakery and a few things from the restaurant. I have never been displeased.
The pistachio flavored Supreme is my favorite! It is always in season and it is simply the best. Also, there is always a new flavor of the month. Each month I am usually impressed. Chef Cioe never ceases to amaze me. He truly displays his passion for pastries with each new creative flavor. It’s like he is making art.
I’ve been here a countless number of times. The customer service is impeccable. The line for “ The Supreme” and pastries can be long at times; however, these treats are worth the wait. Lafayette Bakery is a must visit! Put it on your to-do list if visiting NYC. I promise you won’t be dissatisfied.
Please go visit Chef Cioe the craftsman of croissants! PS, if you are dissatisfied your taste buds need elevating lol
The staff were very kind, and you absolutely have to try the pistachio croissant, it’s beyond praise!
The only thing I would suggest is adding few chairs to the coffee area
