Cafe Lafayette

Crema's Take
“Cafe Lafayette is a genuinely warm neighborhood spot where the staff know regulars by name and treat every visitor like a friend, creating the kind of cozy atmosphere that makes you want to linger over coffee or a full breakfast. Beyond their reliable coffee drinks, they shine with creative offerings like bao buns, beet salads, and a stellar vanilla matcha that keeps people coming back daily—and yes, your pup is just as welcome as you are.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.
