$9.50 for a Pastry!? Lafayette Bakery's Suprême Croissant | A Review

The Suprême Croissant from Lafayette Grand Bakery and Café practically broke the internet when it went totally viral in 2022.
People would line up for hours trying to get their hands on one of these buttery (and expensive) circles of goodness. In fact, it was so popular that copy cat Suprêmes have popped up everywhere from Melbourne to Tokyo. Not to mention, it has kicked off a total croissant craze with bakers racing to come up with the latest and greatest new croissant idea with the hopes of going just as viral.
But is the Suprême croissant worth your time, the money, and stomach space?
I headed to Lafayette Grand Bakery and Café in Noho on a casual Wednesday to snag a Suprême croissant to see what the hubbub is all about, and I’m giving my honest thoughts here.

Sometimes, the UA-cam algorithm gets me. Found this video in my feed and glad that I did! At only 46 subscribers on this channel, I'm getting in on the ground floor. 🤠 Looking forward to future videos! ❤

Looks so good! Love the idea of this series too. Looking forward to the next one and taking notes for when I'm back there in August!

3 days to make croissants is pretty common in bakeries. They're just telling you that as a marketing tactic to justify the $10 price point. I hope they're charging $10 to pay their staff well and not just profit off of hype. Otherwise, you can have something similar with a shorter prep time since all that pastry cream is going to over power laminated texture anyway.
