Had a nice time here last night. Service was awesome. Food was good overall, but didn't love the mushroom rice. Torro was nice. One weird thing, when we asked the Maitre'd's helper if we could get a table on the main floor, he was very weird about it and sort of pushed back. Didn't seem to want to even ask the Maitre'd about it. I thought it was a pretty normal request given the stairs were closed and we'd have to take an elevator upstairs.

As we sat down, the very friendly staff handed over some edemame which comes complimentary. We went ahead and ordered 4 apps and a bunch of sushi. The tuna tarts are a must try. We ordered the Scottish salmon tartar which was apart of their specials menu for the night which was extraordinary. We also got the crispy cauliflower as well which was also very good. We both thought that the tuna crispy rice was our favorite app. It was perfectly crispy and the tuna on top was just outstanding. We ordered a few different types of toro and each was better than the last. The fish was super fresh, the staff was all very friendly and very attentive. We ended our meal with the chocolate meltdown which was fabulous as well. I'd highly recommend and I look forward to dinning here again.

Everything about this lounge was IMPRESSIVE, from the walk in to the food . Music was vibing . The food comes out quick , so fresh , basically melt in your mouth quality . Drinks were delicious . Desert , omg I was so impressed and full of. I am now a sushi person because of this lounge . Great for date or gals night out .

This is my 3rd time dining at BondST and this was my best experience yet. We arrived Friday evening, although I had mistakenly reserved the table for Saturday. The hostesses were so gracious and quickly found a way to accommodate us, despite my error. What made our experience next level was the service Devin L provided. Devin was welcoming and gave us the best recommendations when it came to our food and drinks. Honestly, Devin provided us with one of our best dining experiences in Manhattan (rivaling the service we experienced at 4 Charles). Pro tip: Be sure to ask for the “new” lychee martini, followed by the “OG”, and order everything Devin recommends! Thank you for making our date night so special. 💕

Wow!! Everything we ordered was delicious. I don't eat meat or sea food so I had the Red Snapper Taco, amazing! Tuna Crispy Rice, mama mia so good! And the Pan Roasted Salmon, so so delicious!! I know it was a lot of fish, but each dish had it own unique flavor. They have 2 locations.

7th time being here. Food is always great quality. But out of all the times I’ve been here, Devin really made a difference. Loved his attention to detail, suggested I finally try a new dish which I rarely ever do. The yellowtail sezchuan was actually so good. Glad he suggested it. Also just super engaging and felt like I was geniunely being paid attention to and cared about which often gets overlooked in these high volume expensive restaurants

I’m more than 15 years of traveling the globe I’m eating at famous restaurants worldwide… I may have found the best. The food was absolutely amazing. Each Japanese inspired dish was flavorful and complex. The cocktails were out of this world and in the most incredible way, it all pails in comparison to the service. Andre knew the menu in every direction and made perfect recommendations while maintaining a friendly demeanor and having fun while being a professional. I could not recommend a restaurant more and feel very honored to have eaten here!!!

The Supreme was sold out twice, but I finally got to try it on the third time! It was so delicious, I want to eat it again!

Lafayette Grand Cafe & Bakery was an unexpected surprise brunch treat with friends! They have a dog-friendly patio and a killer Salmon Eggs Benedict. They also have a fantastic pastry section inside that's not to miss. The interior of this place is gorgeous and makes you feel like you stepped into Paris! The Pistachio Cream Croissants ... YEP.

“Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler” 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

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.

The croissant is a truly unique experience . I highly recommend it! My favorite is the pistachio, but honestly, they’re all incredible. The place is cozy and charming. On weekends, you can’t sit inside to eat your croissant (there’s a standing area available), but during the week they have a reserved café area where you can sit and enjoy it peacefully. So if you can visit on a weekday, I’d definitely suggest doing that! The space is clean, and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

Had a very tasty munch outdoor the sugar snap peas were delicious. The Hamachi was very tasty with a touch of lemon that I added. The trout was very good. Maybe a little too many capers steak tartar was delicious. Service was good not great and the wines by the glass had a nice selection. This place is huge with also a bakery

John

I stopped in the café and bakery this past morning on my walk to grab a pastry and a hot chocolate. The butter croissant and the Cinna-Cruffin as well as the hot chocolate were very good. It's a nice atmosphere inside and out. The staff were very nice, I will definitely go back again!

Ujesh Vora

Quite possibly my favorite bakery in the city. The croissant is one of the best I’ve had and every pastry is so well made and executed. Definitely recommend the breakfast sandwich as it has crispy cheese on it. Also I once got a latte and also made perfectly.

David Treacy

The service and food were both excellent. I enjoyed the rainbow trout with a salad, I also had their penicillin #2 cocktail. Which was well made. The staff was friendly and very courteous. One thing to keep in mind is that you have to order any baked goods from the Patisserie separately

We went on a Thursday evening around 630. As the night progressed, it got more and more crowded and the music got louder than when we first arrived. If you prefer a place where you could hear yourself, this is not the place to be on a Thursday night. We shared 4 items and each had 2 drinks. While we didn't walk out feeling hungry or unsatisfied, I feel I might have gotten more elsewhere for the same price. However, as they say, it's the company that makes it fun. The service was good and we had a good time.

The round croissants taste good if you don’t have to stand in the line for hours. I went in the middle of a workday so I didn’t face any wait time. The croissant itself is very buttery and flaky, which is something that was lacking from the other round croissant places I have been to. Deducting one star because I have tasted better pistachio filling in other places (this one is ever so slightly medicinal, but still pretty good.) Will come back, in the middle of a workday. It is not worth standing in line for.

Lafayette makes you feel as if you’re dining in Europe rather than the U.S. At the front of the restaurant they have a cute bakery where you can order pastries and meals to go, and once you enter the dining room you are encased in grand wooden floors and railings and tall ceilings. It’s a great spot to take family and/or a date!

Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery is more than just a restaurant; it’s a beautiful escape to a bustling Parisian grand café right here in New York City. From the moment you step inside, the stunning atmosphere—complete with the tiled floors, warm lighting, and a gorgeous outdoor seating area—transports you. 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.

Lafayette Grand Cafe and Bakery is a beautiful café with a true Parisian atmosphere. As soon as I stepped in, I was surrounded with a historic lively environment. I especially loved the French croissants with a buttery and flaky crust. The famous Suprême croissant is an amazing, creamy dessert that is not overhyped. The only reason why Lafayette is rated 4 stars is because of the expensive items. Lafayette is a great spot to grab a quick pastry or to sit down for a meal.

We had a wonderful breakfast at Lafayette Grand Café in New York. The atmosphere was stylish yet relaxed, and there was enough space to sit comfortably. The food and drinks were delicious – everything was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. While the prices are on the higher side, even for New York, the quality and overall experience made it absolutely worth it. A great spot to start the day in the city!

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.

Be humble

I was really disappointed with the pistachio cream — it tasted cheap and wasn’t good at all. For a place like La Fayette, I expected better quality, especially with their prices and reputation. I was also surprised that the coffee was made completely by machine instead of using a manual spoon.

Maddy A

Food is fine, nothing special. Feels a bit touristy. For the price you can find a lot better in NYC. Probably would not come back here. Also they messed up our order and brought out the wrong thing, and then also forgot to remove the wrong item from the check.

THAIS OLIVEIRA

We went to Lafayette after seeing so many videos of the famous pistachio croissant on social media. Right at the entrance, we found a long line to get in. The bakery space where the croissants are sold has no tables, just a few highly sought-after counters, and in theory all orders are to-go. If you choose to eat at the restaurant, be aware that the menu is different and they don't serve the bakery options. The prices are good, and the croissants and coffees are delicious. I just don't know if it's worth the hype of waiting outside and not even having a place to sit to eat.

I have never been treated so poorly by the host staff at a restaurant. My group had a reservation last Saturday for 9:30 and one member was running a little late but they needed the whole party to seat us. The last member came at 9:39 pm. They offered us a table right by the door opened and closing constantly letting cold air in or we could wait a few minutes as another table in the back was closing out. We opted to wait as it was a birthday dinner and it was 10 degrees outside. We had stood up from our seats at the bar and were standing in the middle of the small downstairs lounge with very little space to walk. We then stood there for 20 minutes with no update from the two hosts until we asked. They did not offer to take our coats like they did other parties, did not offer us menus or water. The two hosts were talking by the host stand. When we inquired about our table 30 minutes after our original reservations the host was rude and argued with us that we declined the first table. If we had known that was the only table we would have said yes but they offered us a choice. At this point we asked if there was any space in the upstairs restaurant because we had been standing for 30 minutes and only then did they check upstairs. They said there was but the party we were waiting for was finally closing out. When we did get to our table it was cramped stools and waiters were constantly walking by above our heads in a very small walkway with plates. One side of the table’s backs was to the bar with again a very small walkway so people walking by the bar were constantly bumping into us. It was not a pleasant environment to eat. The table was very small and could barely fit our entrees. Thankfully our server Ferrari was so kind and made up for the sour start. She was shocked to hear we hadn’t been given menus yet. She did offer us complimentary rose and brought over a birthday candle at the end of the dinner. The food was good but overpriced with small portions ($32 rolls for only 6 pieces). I would not return; the host staff argued and got snappy with us when we inquired about our reservation time and did not apologize or try to rectify the situation at all.

Lafayette Grand Café 🥐 What a disappointment. The service was poor, the New York cocktail tasted awful, and the ham and cheese sandwich was honestly better on the street. Wouldn’t recommend it.
