Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery

I've been here a handful of times over a decade. Really nice venue with a nice variety of spaces downstairs and behind the bar. The food is hit or miss, though, mostly average. The steak is well cooked but a bit too salty, the chicken is flavorless and a little slimy, the fish is edible. The baked goods and pasta dishes are good, but not spectacular. The bar selection is just ok. With better food, this place could be really amazing given the atmosphere, but it's just not quite there.

Way overrated. Don’t waste your time or money. So many options in this area, you don’t need to bother with this place. Food is mediocre (sad excuse for “French” food… not even close) and service is incredibly rude and dismissive. Specifically, the pastries taste awful and the food was served cold.

Went for breakfast and was really disappointed with the quality of the food and the service. The pastries were good (famous croissants were already sold out at 8:45am), but when we ordered other pastries they did not bring us individual plates to eat them on and had to ask for plates to share our pastries. Some items in our order were forgotten and the salad served with the egg dishes was borderline rotten - very limp and browned. One part of someone’s meal was brought out 20 minutes before the other half and the rest of our entrees. Service felt disjointed. Like I said, pastries were good, but not worth the trip across town.

Review is only for the croissants and reflects the opinion of me and my two friends. Given the hype on tiktok, we were super excited to try the famous croissants but we were utterly disappointed. The chocolate one was way too indulgent and sweet (although my one friend liked it). The pumpkin chai was mediocre and we weren’t the biggest fan of the puree-like taste. The pistachio one was the worst of all, it tasted like straight up play-doh. In my opinion, honestly not worth it - and for $8/$8.50 a piece????
