Cafe Lafayette

I used the ATM here and my debit card information was compromised. I don’t have anything to say about the other services provided here, but BEWARE of the ATM.

Very nice people running this place. It’s a deli so don’t expect much but it has a great salad bar and very inexpensive too. $ 6.95 for a mixed greens of your choice plus one meat, I got Italian tuna, one cheese, mozzarella for me and 4 vegetables. You can add more of you want for 75 cents each veggie. Artichokes, beets, carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, anything you want…
They have sandwiches and other deli specialties. There’s also a good amount of seating space available.

Charming, quaint little café nestled off Lafayette and Fulton in Brooklyn. My boyfriend and I wound up here and we were hungry. I got an eggs Benedict and my boyfriend got the steak and eggs. Both were very good. This had a local feel, which we love. If you find yourself in this area, definitely check this little gem out.

Overall: great place for a pop in for coffee/​desser
Pros: Beautiful space. Friendly staff. Excellent desserts. Solid coffee/​lattes/​cappuccinos
Cons: renovation of façade been going on for awhile, prices a little steep (but not outrageous).

This coffee shop’s mainstay consists of the courts nearby and the NYU students. Not a pretty joint, but serves good food fast. Prices are reasonable, but not for the dry goods (i.e. peanut butter, cookies, ramen) they sell. They make a mean bacon egg and cheese and respectable coffee.

When I first walked in and sW Amy’s soups and Annie’s mac and cheese and organic sugar and stevia options I knew I would like this place. And sure enough, I did!
Lots of organic options, relatively clean atmosphere, mostly friendly– and the prices weren’t too outrageous. Lots of options, and boars head meat which is awesome.
I got a bacon egg and cheese which was good, I would definitely come back next time I’m in the area.
Their non-​GMO options were also impressive. Highly recommend this place!

This place is an excellent stop for some delicious sandwiches and bagels, although most things are a little over priced. Specifically, the Nova Lox is delicious, and they give you a ton of it!

The American Movie Company is just a few blocks away, so regular trips here for lunch is always ideal because it saves time. The salad line is usually shorter than the line for sandwiches though. I always enjoy getting lunch here.

Have had some lunch wraps here and they were good. Most recently, a chicken caesar salad wrap. Their food is good and they have Fast and courteous service too.

This café has saved a wreck like me every day. They make a great pizza bagel that can turn any day around and everyone who works there is very understanding and nice. Definitely my go to Monday through Sunday. #blessed

One of my favorite delis in the area. I’ve spent the past two summers working in the area, and am happy to report that now that I’ve been permanently hired by one of those two offices, I will be coming into Café Lafayette for lunch on a *regular* basis (well, after I take the July 2015 bar that is…). Woo! (plus yay permanent job as a lawyer!)
FOOD: you’ve got several options to choose from: the sandwich bar, the grill, or the salad bar. The sandwich and salad bars seem to be the more popular options, so the way they set it up during the lunch rush is one line in the middle of the store for the salad bar and another line near the back for the sandwich bar. I stick with the various sandwiches and wraps, and I’d say my favorite is the chicken caesar on a spinach wrap. SO good. There are also other pre-​packed items, and a couple fridges with soda, water, etc.
PRICES: pretty comparable to other delis in the area. When I go for my chicken caesar wrap, it’s $ 6-​something. Sandwiches are about the same. Assuming you’re just coming in for a sandwich or wrap, you’ll get out in under $ 10.
SERVICE: the guys behind the deli are fast and friendly, and the owners/​cashiers are awesome too. I think with tax my wrap comes out to $ 7.02, but since I pay with cash, they just give me the $ 3 (or $ 13) back rather than forcing me to contend with $ 0.98 in change. After a while everyone starts to recognize you too.
I miss you Café Lafayette. But never fear, I shall be back!

Friendly and fast — reliable. Wish they were open later though. On the bright side, their sandwiches are really good… but expensive. Convenient location, wide variety of products and choices. I’d recommend it :)

I absolutely love this deli/​café. It’s steps from where I work and the sandwiches are freshly prepared and always delicious. My go to is the turkey club on a whole wheat wrap with Russian dressing.
The portions are always hearty and though you’ll be paying a couple more dollars here than you would at Subway, the quality is so worth the extra money!
The line does get absurd during the lunch hour, but that’s a testament to just how many professionals here rely on Café Lafayette for a satisfying lunch.
There are a handful of tables in the front, and the ordering counters are in the rear. You can order from their rather extensive sandwich menu, or go for their freshly prepared salads.
The employees are efficient and the couple that owns this place is the sweetest couple! I happen to be Korean as well, and since we aren’t that well represented in this area, it’s always a joy to chitchat with them.
Swing by for a packed sandwich!

Come here for lunch while at work. Staff is friendly. They’re clean and work rapidly!
