Come here for lunch while at work. Staff is friendly. They're clean and work rapidly!
Nice, quick, fairly average deli. The people who work there are nice, and the bagels are good. I haven't actually tried any of the sandwiches or burgers, but I can attest to a solid bagel. I just wish they served their bacon egg and cheese longer! They have good coffee too, and plentiful seating if you plan on hanging around.
One drawback is the pantry stuff – I'd go somewhere else for your soap. They sell nice soap, and they know it. That kind of stuff gets pretty overpriced. BUT the food is good and pretty cheap. Lots of good snacks and stuff. Wish they stayed open later!
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!
Really solid deli, I took advantage of it when I was on jury duty for months. Friendly and efficient staff. Reminds me of a deli closer to my office. Long lines at lunchtime crowd the place but everyone cooperates and it moves pretty briskly.
4 item salad for $7 is a steal.
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.
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!
I absolutely love this deli/cafe. 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 Cafe 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!
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 Cafe 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 Cafe Lafayette. But never fear, I shall be back!
