Lafayette Grand Café Bakery - New York

We ate an incredible celebratory lunch in the ?Village? and it was undoubtedly the best outdoor dining experience of this pandemic. I hope they might consider keeping it permanent! The service was friendly and attentive. The food was incredible too. And the complimentary birthday dessert was the perfect ending. Can?t wait to go back!

We discovered our new favorite brunch spot. Great food and very attentive service. The bread and the pastries are top! (French citizens would be satisfied). Do make a reservation if you are coming on weekends and arrive early if possible as the selection of croissants gets sold out pretty quickly. We will be coming back for the pistachio croissant ????

Experience was good but nothing exceptional. Quiche was tasty: buttery and creamy. Lemon blueberry pancakes had a nice tang and citrus flavor but could use more fruit/syrup because they were a bit dry towards the end. Overall, I?m not sure if the quality of the food justifies the price. Service was underwhelming. We arrived early and to a mostly empty restaurant, yet we waited for a frustratingly long time before our orders were taken and, again, at the end to get our check. Unfortunately, this lack of attention is what stood out to me the most. While the ambience is nice, I would only come back here to try the pastries, not to dine-in.

This is a lovely brunch spot! We sat outside on the patio since it was a wonderful day. We ordered the breakfast basket with all the fresh pastries of the day, had no regrets! It was enough to feed two and then some. I would recommend especially if there is a line to the bakery (the line can get horrendously long at around 12). Make a reservation for sit down just in case!

This review is for their restaurant only and not their bakery section. The ambiance is great. However, compared to the prices you are paying for their food it is very underwhelming. The lemon ricotta pancakes were dry and could not taste lemon. The burger patty was good but nothing special about it esp. when you're paying $28 for it. Also the bun got so soggy. The fries were good. You cannot order pastries that aren't listed on the restaurant menu. And there is a huge line for their supreme croissants.
