La Farm Bakery

The food is terrible, the main dish is fine but the potatoes and fruit are not fresh at all. The service is incredibly bad. Without a greet or smile when they put your order on your table. They even forget to take away the table tag after gave me the food. This bakery have metal knife but very funny they don’t have metal folk which means when you are using them, you will probably cut off the plastic folk piece and eat them. This is very dangerous. The people work there are not focus some of them are playing their phone.

Ordered their turkey sandwich, juice, strawberry cake, lemonade, and more. $75! Good breads but other than that nothing spectacular or worth $75 😔 No kids menu either. And yes their tables are sticky, as noted by another guest.

I was very disappointed after reading all the glorious reviews about how great this bakery is…the croissant was more like bread than buttery pastry like what a croissant should taste like. Mocha was not hot enough.

I love coming to La Farm Bakery for both business and casual meetups. Their mocha is rich and smooth, and the chai latte has the perfect balance of spice and sweetness. It’s a comfortable place to sit down with clients or colleagues great coffee, great atmosphere, and plenty of space to talk without feeling rushed.

Good coffee beans but they don’t make a good cappuccino or latte. And there is absolutely no latte art either. Fount kitchen in Morrisville charges the same and it’s much better looking and tasting. Posting photos of both for comparison.

La Farm Bakery is a must-visit in Cary. The bread and pastries are always fresh and delicious, and it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a good coffee and breakfast. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. Highly recommend trying their sourdough bread!

The cheese pretzel was so inedible I threw it away. And the literal "mozzarella sandwich" had ONE slice of mozzarella in total, the size of my thumb. Truly outrageously terrible food. And I paid $23 for the pleasure of it

I just wanted to share my thoughts about La Farm, a café that used to be one of my absolute favorites. It was such a cozy spot, with friendly staff who always greeted you with a smile. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making you feel right at home every time you visited.But lately, things have changed, and honestly, it's been pretty disappointing.They've swapped out the entire staff, and with that, the cheerful vibe just seems to have vanished. The new employees don't have that same welcoming energy, which is such a bummer. I miss the friendly banter and the personal touch that made the place feel special! On top of that, the service has gotten painfully slow. I can't believe how long it takes to place an order now. It was never like this before! And if that wasn't enough, the refreshing lemon water that used to be available all the time has mysteriously disappeared. :(

The breakfast at La Farm was fantastic! Ended up getting the Croque Madame, it was excellent and the portion size was enough to not feel stuffed nor wanting more. Great service, cozy atmosphere--definitely a place I'll return to for breakfast! A little odd why they charge for refills of coffee...

My wife and I stopped here to grab breakfast. We had eaten there when it first opened up. Unfortunately, their service and quality has slipped quite a bit. There are way too many other great brunch spots to choose from.

Slowest service ever. I put in my order, returned Amazon items and went grocery shopping. Nothing. I dropped off my items at my car and still nothing. Washed my hands, you get the idea. I am watching my name blink in red on the orders and still waiting. Wish I could get my money back. Don't come here in a hurry or even with a lot of time to waste. Not worth it outside of the convenience.

Crème Brûlée French Toast: dry, hard, cold, syrup already applied (perhaps the day before). I didn't eat it and should have read reviews from others before ordering it. It was a take out so I could not return this and recover the about $12 either.

I have only gotten items to go here because of the La Farm quality. I always get the cinnamon buns and today got the seasonal apple strudel challah. The lattes are freshly made and staff has always been kind and prompt. It is nice to have a La Farm inside Whole Foods. They offer casual seating for those dining in.

Bro... I should have known the quality of the food when it's attached to a grocery store. But, I've only heard great things about La Farm Bakery, so I was hopeful. I guess the people recommending it, didn't specify its location specific. This was a very sad breakfast sandwich- and they forgot to put bacon on it, which I had to go up and ask them for it. Also, my friend had the French toast and I'm pretty sure they burnt it because it was harder than a crouton. Pretty disappointed at this but it is what it is. The peppermint latte that I ordered with this was good so no complaints on that. Just buyers beware on the quality when heading to this location.

This is the spot for the famous white chocolate baguette. I brought this to work one day and my house office love them. You also can't go wrong with the chocolate scone. My Friday morning favorite spot.

Nice place attached to Whole Foods. Visiting sister and this place is walking distance from her place so I popped in on my morning walk. Very friendly people and nice outdoor seating (until the sun heats ups). Grabbed the breakfast sandwich, no meat. Fresh bread but the sandwich was a little plain, solves with the addition of available hot sauce. The addition of fruit slices was nice. Large coffee was pricey but very tasty. The outside music is a bit loud, kind of defeats the nice, outdoor seating. Definitely worth a stop.

I have been a LA Farm fan for years but ill admit, on this lazy morning I was looking for something good, thought I'd stop by with the family given it had been literally a year since we've been in and am just so sad with the experience. Here are the gripes in no particular order, but if I were you, I'd stay away until they get their act straightened up... 1. We received someone else's order. There were 4 of us at the table, they brought 2 dishes and thought they were done. 2. Mixed up drink orders (lattes were miss matched with hot chocolate) that were not labeled and ended up having to make new. 3. Daughter sat down in a chair and nearly fell backward as the backing of the chair had completely come unstrapped. 4. Kids portions are NOT worth it, horrible value for the price point and left both kids wanting more food (we went inside the adjacent store and bought them a muffin) :( 5. Sausage egg and cheese of hubbs was average, this is half of the only star given. 6. My eggs Benedict was just gross. I bit into the eggs and they were hard boiled and I was greeted with a sour taste of lemon!! The ham was overly salty and the lemon taste by itself made me want to gag. The potatoes were also cold Extremely disappointed for a $15 plate! The coffee was arguably the best part of our meal, which is the reason for another half a star... For a breakfast price point of $73, shame on you LaFarm, sadly we won't be back, at least not to this location - total disappointment.

A little pricey for a sandwich/side salad here (mine was a little over $15 without the tip), but the ingredients are super fresh and it's an infrequent indulgence or treat when I stop by the connected Whole Foods or make an Amazon return. Based on taste and presentation alone, I would've given Le Farm 4 stars easily. However, I must dock a star because I paid over $2 extra for adding avocado to my Turkey and Cheddar sandwich only to get home and find that there was no avocado on the sandwich at all. I'm too busy to go back to the bakery to get this error rectified so ... oh well. Fortunately, the sandwich was still delicious without the extra. It's the principle though.

Literally passed every eating establishment so I could get told that they closed early. The reason included a shoulder shrug and "we have some pastries left". If you are closed at 6:25, post that you close at 6:25, not 7:00. What a waste of gas to come here!

I have a college friend who brought me a bag of their granola about 7 years ago. WOW. I never let her visit me without a "package". I will literally close the door in her face, if she isn't carrying-- (okay, not really). We were having a college reunion in SC, and she arrived without granola. I had her call her hubby and mule some down for everyone in the group, it was, of course, a huge hit! I make my own granola, but this sh*t is the bomb diggity. Magic fairy dust in there for sure. If your visit, grab yourself a bag.

A coffee shop should have passion and take pride into making excellent coffee, particularly when they charge $4.29 for a regular cup. Unfortunately, the cappuccino at this La Farm location comes with a burnt and bitter flavor and lacks crema. It happens when the machine is too hot, or the grinder is set too coarse , or the coffee isn't tampered enough, or the beans are too old, or the machine needs cleaning, or a combination of the above. It's a little bit of an art and usually baristas love talking about this - I do love nerding out about it. Not so here. The barista preferred a sassy attitude and unfortunately had no interest into improving her skills. Sad because their Italian espresso machine and the Counter Culture beans they use could do so much better for the benefit of their customers. No more coffee at this place....

Unfortunately restaurants forget diners remember previous experiences and this is true for LaFarm. Their croque madame breakfast used to be a premier and tantalizing dish with an entree that made your mouth water - hearty ham, cheese, sour dough bread topped with the perfect egg. Sides by included breakfast potatoes and a scone. You also used real cutlery for a dine in version. Today's version post pandemic is a smaller version with 4 slices of oranges and plastic cutlery that can't stand up to the bread. Disappointing and overpriced so last visit here!

We had lunch here just now. The sandwiches were excellent but the cappuccinos were burnt and bitter. We asked if they could remake it but the barista was obviously inexperienced and it was just the same. When we complained, we were met with sarcasm and a bad attitude. Not even an apology, just a "what do you expect"? We make espresso at home everyday and only came here because we have work in the kitchen today and trusted the La Farm folks would know what they're doing..never again. The last straw for this review was when the barista shouted "have a great day, come again" in a voice dripping with sarcasm when we walked out loud enough that all the customers turned to look at us. Wow! Is this how you treat your customers? Lionel Vatinet, I have the greatest respect for your bread and have been supporting you for several years but this is not okay.

Cute bakery tucked into Whole Foods. The service is a bit slow but the food makes up for it! When I came, they only had a select few items available for brunch, so I went with the BLT. It was delicious! I also loved the potatoes and desert that came with it. I also enjoyed the cafe latte. My only complaint is that it is on the expensive side, so I don't know if I'd come again.

I think La Farm is an awesome addition to this Whole Foods, I only wish it was closer to me. If my usual Whole Foods had a La Farm in it, I'd be there all the time. I like that you can grab something for breakfast, lunch, or dinner that is tasty and fast. You can also opt in to the healthier options if you are so inclined. I had been in recently for a Yelp event and was in the neighborhood so figured it was a great place to work and grab an early dinner. The WiFi is solid so it is a great spot to work and the space is pretty quiet as well. I went with their seasonal butternut squash soup as well as their whole grain salad. The soup was super flavorful and the salad was almost too pretty to eat. As far as baked goods they have the majority of the favorites you'd find at their bigger locations. I spied the white chocolate baguette and many other tasty treats. I didn't see the Challah so they may not carry that at this location. They had a wide selection of fresh baked breads as well. Overall a great spot to get your La Farm fix!

I wanted to go to this location because I missed the grand opening a while ago. I am happy that I made it out but I was a bit disappointment with the bakery. When I first arrived the first thing that you notice is the parking. La Farm Bakery is located in a shopping center near other eateries. So there is plenty of parking and the lot is very clean. Which is great. The shopping center is beautiful. I walked into La Farm Cary and there was HORRIBLE smell I don't know if it was the trash or what but it smelled bad. Then when we walked up to the counter I noticed that there was flies all over the breads + cookies which I thought was pretty disgusting. I walked over to the Whole Foods portion of the story and my God daughter got some gelato. The bakery workers were really nice. And I asked them if they had some extra cookies and breads in the back and they didn't. Overall this was a nice location but with them being right by the door in the summer months is a downfall because all of the flies come in.

We are all entitled to our own opinion, right? Well here is mines: Parking: 3 Location: 5 Ambiance & Décor: 5+ Customer Service: 5 Great service!!! I attended lunch here on a Monday during lunch and it was super crowded. The spot is pushed off to the side of a Whole Foods so people were everywhere inside. Parking was a struggle as Le Farms parking is joined with Whole Foods. There was some spaces off to the side but it was just packed (which is a GREAT thing). The service was amazing. The lady at the counter was so nice and helpful. She came around the counter and helped me select vegetarian dishes. I was pleased at the menu as it wasn't to overpowering. There was a nice mix of dishes for all diets. It took roughly 14 minutes for my meal to come out... maybe that is thanks to the influx in customers. When my meal arrived i noticed i was given the grains side dish and I had requested fresh fruit. When the fresh fruit arrived it was 4 orange slices... I thought it was joke lol. But oh well... i went ahead and ate my 4 orange slices. The dish i picked was ok. It was a Mediterraneano (I think that was the name). It was really salty so I ended up removing the sun dried tomatoes and ate just the mozzarella and bread. Overall, i'd say 3 stars as I was expecting a bit more out of the taste, flavor and food overall.

This La Farm is connected to Whole Foods, which I didn't expect while coming. The quality of the food, though, was just as good, if not better, than the food at the main location. It's a nice, quiet, small little space that allowed me to start off the work day right with a delicious breakfast served by friendly staff.

The only item I get is Cafe Mocha and it is delicious every time. The chocolate is the best seems like good quality Belgium chocolate and priced right, although I wish I could get a 20 oz. no complaints :) Limited hours but this place could be hopping especially on the weekends!

For years this location near Whole Foods is absolutely horrible in comparison with the original LaFarm bakery in Preston Corners. The food is 1,000% better at the original Preston location. You couldn't pay me to eat there again.

Cute bakery with tasty pastries and bread. Make sure to try a croissant and the sourdough bread.

Stopped in here with a group of 5 for breakfast over the weekend. Because the location is within a Whole Foods the dining space is limited. That being said, the staff was very accommodating and brought our food to a table that could fit all of us in the Whole Foods dining area rather than the sectioned off La Farm dining tables. The Madame Croquet was DELICIOUS. Think of it as a more sophisticated "egg in a hole" toast combo with meat and cheese. The bread was amazing and the egg was cooked perfectly. For a fast casual dining experience I was not expecting this kind of quality. It was amazing. La Farm served Counter Culture coffee. It was good, but unfortunately my cup was full of grinds at the bottom. Simple mistake that could happen anywhere, but next time I'll be sure to check ahead. The pastry case was full of beautiful things. I would definitely go back to sample more!

I am already a fan of LaFarm so I was excited see this location pop up on the map while driving through the area. I decided to stop by for a quick breakfast. This bakery is located within Whole Foods. There is an entrance from the outside and ample parking available nearby. After drooling over the bread and pastry options, I ordered two loaves of bread, 3 berry scones, and a chocolate croissant to go. It is pricy, but you won't be disappointed. The employees working were friendly, helpful, and wearing masks. Many of LaFarm Bakery's scone options contain white chocolate chips. Luckily their berry scones don't. I did originally plan on purchasing some peppermint scones, but did not see them at this location. I ate the chocolate croissant in the car and as usual it was delicious. Buttery, flaky, and paired with the perfect amount of firm chocolate. I am usually not in this area, but if I am I would definitely return here!

My first visit to this location. I was in the area for a visit to see my niece at Artisan salon. I ordered a loaf of bread and an iced mocha. I waited over 10 minutes for the mocha to be prepared...was very close to asking for a refund. Mind you, it wasn't busy either. I was late for my appointment with my niece and explained why. She said she's had multiple clients complain about how slow it is to get coffee/ lattes etc. I'll stick to the downtown and Cary Parkway locations.

My favorite thing here is the white chocolate and cinnamon chip scone. Five stars alone for this! I don't even think I have tried many other things on the menu (even though I love La Farm), but this buttery oh-so-flavorful scone is something I am sure to purchase each time, and is worth all the accolades.

I've been here a good handful of times and generally have a positive experience. The food is the same as the original location, but you get to skip the lines. I really love their pastries, I highly recommend the white chocolate baguette, it's devine. Some other highlights are their seasonal specials and Counter Culture coffee. I was in the other day and my pumpkin french toast (yuuuummmmm) was served with strawberries that were closer to wine then being fresh (gross). Good thing I was too busy having a french-toast-love-affair to care.

We have been going to brunch or doing take out from La Farm for the last 10+ years. Croque Madame and Croque Monsieur are to die for. Also love the quiches, scones and fresh bread. La Farm and Nineth Street are the best bakers in the area, IMHO.

This is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in Cary. It's worth the wait. But will you wait? Yes. If you go on the weekend during prime eating hours, there's going to be a long line and a wait. But is it worth it? Yes! The croque madam is my favorite breakfast item, along with the scones or even the creme brulee French toast, which I like to get with whipped cream and strawberries. Their lunch items are just as great, I love that they always have a new special to try. If you're starving sample some food, they always have plates to sample.

Oh man what a great staff! This mornings crew was the sweetest and most helpful while i decided what to order :) the food at la Farm is always so fresh and delicious . The servings are huge and I truly enjoy coming every time I'm in town. My little one is becoming a la farm fan as well . He chowed down on the children's scrambled eggs and fruit .

I like La Farm quite a lot. It's pretty quick when I'm starving and want some lemonaid and quiche with salad. On one occasion it took forever and I was in a bit of pain from the wait and my hungry stomach was embarrassing. They apologized for taking so long. I can only imagine that the quiche was frozen and took a good twenty minutes to cook through. The sodas claim to be all natural and made with essential oil - I've only put that stuff in my infuser. I sat outside on their cute cafe table with their covered over porch. I was able to do some shopping after as it's located inside the whole foods. I feel like it's sectioned off pretty well from the broader whole foods store - it seems cozy and I wouldn't mind sitting there to work or read for a few hours alone.

This location is inside Whole Foods and closes at 9am however, if it is slow they start shutting down the ovens at 8. Turkey chili is good with a strong kick of spice. Chicken salad was average but way too many grapes.

Great second location! Pastries are great, coffee is absolutely amazing, and the space is smaller than the main location--obviously, since it's inside a Whole Foods--but still comfortably big. I noticed that there is a water bottle filling station near the bathrooms, which is really great! It's the first time I've seen one outside of a college campus.

We came in around 8:45 or 9:00 pm hoping to get a pastry or muffin for dessert. The actual La Farm Bakery and cafe had been all but closed down already (hours say it's open til 10:00 pm). We were able to find many La Farm items in the main Whole Foods bakery area, though, as well as a lot of Whole Foods baked items. The bakery items are delicious. I just wish they had been open in the cafe area to serve us.

Forgot to take pictures because of how good La Farm was. I had the croque madame, and it was a perfect breakfast to have while studying. Just know that this location is inside a Whole Foods.

Such a great place!! The team is all new which means a bit of a wait, but with the customer service being top notch and high quality of product, its worth it!

My friend rave about this place (she usually goes to the one near cary parkway). I finally came to try but due to xmas schedule the only open one was the one by Whole Foods. And my god I was not impressed. I got the creme brûlée French toast. I was hoping for some kind of crispy top with the nice Carmel flavor that creme brûlée usually have. But what I got was basically four pieces of soggy bread with no interesting flavor. Something I could have made at home but cost $10!!! Not really impressed so not sure maybe the location matters??? Maybe will try the actual la farm location next time. I gave them two stars because the coffee was decent.

I was super disappointed with our brunch experience at La Farm. We went in and ordered the Avocado Toast and the Tartine Diablo. We were both pretty disappointed with what we received for $14/each. We waited for over 15 minutes to get our food and when we did it was cold. The bread was chewy and not in a good way but the way it gets after it's toasted and sits for a while. The eggs on the tartine were also extremely cold. The potatoes were the coldest thing on our plates and not fully cooked in the middle. The avocado toast was also the same on the bread front. It almost felt like the food had been "ready" (minus the undercooked potatoes) for a while and just sat there prior to it making it to us. I felt like it was super over priced for the food that we received as well as even if it was at proper temperature I still feel like it was way over priced. I've paid $15 for an avocado toast plate (with a side) at super nice restaurants and received more quantity and quality from a café that was attached to a whole foods. We will not be returning back.

Recently has a used this location for a catering order. We have the breakfast breads and sandwich platter. This can with a large salad and was more than enough for my 15 guests. The best part was the white chocolate baguettes!

Normally go to Cary Pkwy La Farm but in the area. Closes at 6 but we were told at 5:15 staff wouldn't take our order so they could leave at 6!!! After we asked for manager, they agreed to make our sandwiches. Argumentative and extremely rude, telling us "we didn't understand the restaurant business. " We love the friendly staff at Parkway but never again here. Stay away!

I have been here a handful of times for brunch or to pickup bakery treats and have always had a positive experience. The food is delicious and reasonably priced for brunch averaging around $10-$12/person. Even on a busy day it was easy to order our food and then find somewhere to seat ourselves. I love the creme brûlée French toast and mini cinnamon scones. My husband usually gets a breakfast sandwich. It's a great and cute casual brunch spot. I like that it is inside of the Whole Foods so that you can quickly pop over for food or bakery items.

Breakfast was cold. Dog-friendly, crowded, not clear what to do when you reach there. No guidance

I have always been a fan of la farm. However, I'm deeply disappointed with this location. I waited for more than 15 minutes to get a kale salad, because my order never showed up on their screen. Furthermore, the salad I got was not fresh. As my photo indicated, those kales are yellow and I fresh. Again, this is a very disappointing experience for me.

Wasn't that impressed. Service was fast but food was mediocre. I think the food is better at their main bakery but the service is a lot slower there. So pick your battles. I ordered a cold brew that tasted nothing like a cold brew I have had anywhere else. It was somewhat milky/frothy, which I had never experience before. The sandwich was OK. The bread was burnt on the bottom the egg did not taste fresh at all, more like a microwaveable egg patty. 4 small slices of orange to accompany it. Not sure I would come back.

I wanted to eat everything when I walked in. I had the brioche French toast with REAL maple syrup, strawberries, & whip cream. It melted in my mouth. My husband had a cinnamon bun & ate it before I got a photo. The white chocolate baguette is grand & the macaroons delish. Go there!

I got the quiche and it was okay, but I know their pastries are delicious so that's why I gave them a 4/5. I would recommend their bread and bakery products because they're fresh and delicious :) their other menu items are never bad, but I wouldn't really say I would order any again.

You truly can never go wrong with a trip to La Farm! It's a must stop every time I'm in town! Honestly, their white chocolate raspberry scones are my favorite item!

Been a La Farm customer for years, my favorite brunch place around the Triangle. Their French toast with side of strawberry was my favorite, but when I ordered this at the new location, it was a disaster.... French toast came totally burned (the entire thing was black), the side of strawberry was really sad, 5 pieces that probably adds up to 1.5 strawberries total, and the strawberry looked like they were "smeared" on my plate with strawberry stains everywhere, the presentation was just discussing. I really didn't expect that you can mess up French toast with a side of strawberries in such a nasty way. It saddens me to say this, but don't think we will be coming back to this location again....
