Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery

French restaurant · NoHo

"Viral laminated pastries aside, Lafayette makes a pretty solid breakfast that definitely feels elevated. A more low-key fake France option than La Mercerie, this is another spot where lemon ricotta pancakes should really be on your table. Get them with a side of extra-thick, heavily smoked bacon to balance things out. They brew La Colombe coffee, and you can bring anything from the bakery section to your table—yes, even the TIkTok-famous suprêmes. And if you’re eating at a table, you can skip the bakery line.
