Fall in New York City means crisp air, oversized sweaters, and finding increasingly creative reasons to eat pastry before noon. Thankfully, Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery in NoHo understands the assignment, bringing autumn flavors to its famously photogenic pastry counter with treats that are practically begging for a close-up.
The seasonal star? The Maple Pecan Suprême, a fall-inspired twist on the bakery’s viral circular croissant creation, filled with milk chocolate chantilly. It’s buttery, flaky, nutty, and indulgent enough to make your regular morning coffee feel like it needs a reservation.
Maple, Pecan, and Plenty of Parisian Drama
Lafayette has built a devoted following for its Suprême pastries: tightly coiled, croissant-style creations filled with luscious creams and finished with eye-catching toppings. They’re part French patisserie, part New York food obsession—and entirely capable of derailing a perfectly reasonable breakfast budget.
The fall edition brings together maple and pecan flavors with silky milk chocolate chantilly, delivering an autumnal combination that feels right at home alongside a steaming cappuccino. Pumpkin spice may have the seasonal marketing machine, but maple and pecan are quietly making a very convincing case for the crown.
And the appeal goes beyond the pastry itself. Lafayette’s elegant grand-café atmosphere makes stopping for a sweet treat feel less like grabbing breakfast and more like briefly pretending you’re spending the morning in Paris.
Where to Find Lafayette’s Fall Pastries
Located at 380 Lafayette Street in NoHo, Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery is a destination for pastry enthusiasts, coffee lovers, and anyone who appreciates a little edible theater.

Lafayette’s fall pastries prove that sweater weather tastes even better with flaky layers and chocolate filling. Consider this your official permission to make dessert part of your morning routine—because autumn only comes around once a year, and maple pecan waits for no one.
