Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery

Very French and very Cute 🩷 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 👌🏻

A Must-Visit Gem in NoHo! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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

Great spot for brunch. Large space but the energy in the restaurant is fun and the decor feels spot on. Great for large groups or family from out of town. Can be loud, but again, the energy there is big. 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.

No line on a Saturday at 4pm. Walked right up. Was expecting this to be overhyped but I actually really enjoyed their pistachio croissant, and I don't normally gravitate towards croissants. I like the circular format because it makes rippable and easy to peel and eat. The flling is generous throughout and I happen to love custardy desserts. Lots of standing room inside. Would come back to try other flavors.

We ordered the smoked salmon croissant, which was really delicious. 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.
