" The croissants were undeniably good, but I expected a bit more based on the hype. They were tasty, but the service felt a bit rushed and the seating cramped. I didn't get to enjoy my food as much as I would have liked because of the crowding. The chocolate croissant was nice but not outstanding. " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly a delightful visit! The selection of pastries is impressive. We tried a range, but the pistachio one was my absolute favorite. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience feel worthwhile. A perfect place for brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for the croissants, but after trying them, I felt they didn’t quite live up to the hype. They were good, certainly, but I have had better elsewhere. The service was okay, but not particularly warm. I wouldn’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went for the croissant and coffee and I must say, it was one of the best decisions I made. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and filled generously. The service was fast, and the ambiance was just right for some morning relaxation. I will definitely return to try more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" The croissants were flavorful but the wait was way too long for me. After standing in line for a half-hour, I expected something extraordinary. They were good, but I honestly believe the experience didn’t live up to the hype they’ve built. I would try again during a quieter time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lafayette is a gem! I had the salmon croissant sandwich, and it was phenomenal! The layers of flavors from the salmon, cream cheese, and egg complemented the croissant beautifully. I’ll definitely be returning for more. The atmosphere is charming, perfect for brunch with friends. They do need to improve the wait times during peak hours though. " (*Curated Review*)

" When we visited Lafayette, the atmosphere was bustling and vibrant, filled with the tempting aroma of freshly baked pastries. We ordered a variety of croissants, including the famous pistachio and chocolate. Both were flaky and flavorful. The staff was friendly, and although we had to wait for a table, it was worth it. Highly recommend for pastry lovers anywhere. " (*Curated Review*)
