Jeannot's Patisserie Bistro - Lafayette

Busy place, lucked into a table and a high chair for

Holy moly! Best bakery I've been to in all Colorado so far. The pastry chef is just so talented. High quality ingredients. Also best latte I've had in colorado believe it or not. I'm hooked! This place is phenomenal. I can't wait to go back try the food now. Going to be coming here fairly often. I'm so impressed with everything!

Charming ambience, five-star presentation, delicious food that leaves you just a little disappointed. We visited for lunch during the week. It was busy, but not crowded. There is ample seating both inside and out, with partial views of the mountains, though most tables are two seaters so larger parties might have an issue with finding space. The vibe is laid back; it's a great spot for a brunch date, but not a place to just hangout and read or work like you might at a coffee shop.The food, while good, left both my sister and I slightly disappointed. The quiche was the clear winner on taste, but for the price $14+tax), the piece was alarmingly small. The croque monsieur was a cheese-lovers dream, but even this cheese-loving girl found it overwhelmed the taste of the brioche and the ham of which there was only the smallest of slices). Both entrees came with a side salad that again, while good, was lacking since it was just lettuce and dressing. Maybe add some tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions and it would be better. As for the chocolate croissant, my review is mixed. It's clear the ingredients are top-notch, the dark chocolate is perfect and not overly sweet, but the whole thing tasted like it had been in the oven just a few minutes too long. The outside was very crispy, which made the layers taste a bit tough instead of that buttery, flaky flavor you'd hope for. I'm wondering if it was just an off day, as this was my second time eating one, and the first I remember as much better.My sister, who just came back from a year long stay in Europe, said they were inferior to true French croissants, and at $5 a piece, a couple dollars more expensive.Take-away- come for a pastry or a dessert, skip the full meals, and plan to go at off hours if you have a large group.

I grabbed a quick lunch here. Panini and a coffee. The food was good. I liked the dining area, it has several places inside where you can separate yourself from other dinners of that's what you want. There's outside seating too. The service was great. I'm going to have to check out the pastries next time I'm there.

Food and drinks are delicious! Definitely recommended.
