Lafayette is an everyday grand café and bakery in the ceremony of French cooking at the corner of Lafayette Street and Great Jones Street in downtown Manhattan. Our market-driven bistro menu is a worldly homage to the genre that spans a variety of regions, from Provence to Normandy to neighboring Mediterranean coasts, offering a re-mastery of traditional dishes we love and some signatures.
“We had a wonderful family breakfast at Lafayette during our trip to New York. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was beautifully presented. You can tell that great attention is paid to both quality and presentation, making the experience feel special from the moment the food arrives at the table. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. One recommendation for future guests: it’s best to make a reservation in advance. We arrived as walk-ins and had to wait in line outside before being seated. Even with the wait, the experience was well worth it. Between the delicious food, beautiful presentation, and outstanding service, Lafayette was one of the highlights of our family trip to New York. We would definitely return on our next visit. 🥐☕🗽✨”
“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.”
“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”
“Pulled up to Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery like a man on a mission… and let me tell you something important: you do NOT need to wait in that crazy line for the viral Supreme croissant. Nah. Skip the chaos, walk in like you own the place, and go straight for the pistachio Supreme. 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.”
