La Farm Bakery- RDU Airport

I bought a few items on my way back to Miami from this airport bakery and they were outstanding quality with amazing taste. The banana bread was nice and moist with perfect flavor. The cheese pretzel was very unique with the cheese covered all over it. The La Farm sourdough and their Asiago cheese bread were both crunchy with excellent flavor. The chocolate crinkle cookies were a bit too hard and sweet for me, but great for anyone with a sweet tooth! The baklava was just like an authentic Greek bakery would make in Greece! Lastly, the customer service at this place is so personal with great recommendations. This place is a must-do if you’re ever at the airport!

Our server was very nice and professional, but the food and drinks were not good at all. I was expected to make the tea myself, and the croissant came in a bag rather than a plate. What's the point of "dine-in" when it's identical to take-out? The croissant fell apart too since it was overcooked and just didn't taste good. It seems like this place was really disorganized since the croissant took 10 minutes to get because they were still unloading supplies. I've worked in food service, and that should definitely be already done before opening...

This place is great but please avoid the pretzel. Do not he enticed by the cheesey outside. It's just really bland all around. Especially the plain one. Otherwise I always enjoy the made to order and grab and go sandwichs. Complaints about the Parisian sandwich from people who don't understand what that sandwich is supposed to be. It's bread some meat and cheese, that's it! Simple/good.

Should have read the reviews before. After the security check, i was excited to see this bakery having an airport location. First of all, the service is so slow. It took like 25 mins for my quiche to come. They dont even have free water, so they charge you 4-5$ for a bottle of water. Not even regular coffee is free, so thats another 5-6$. With tips and everything, my bill came to 34$. That is ridiculous for a small breakfast with just a slice of quiche. Don’t recommend this place especially if you are in a rush.

La Farm has been a staple in the Triangle for years. They bring a touch of their French bakery charm to RDU. In recent years (2024) RDU was lacking for restaurant choice. That's changing and La Farm now has a good amount of competition. This is good for the humble traveler and ensures everyone is on their A game. La Farm continues to meet expectations and is great spot for quick coffee (Counter Culture) and breakfast or lunch. Go straight to Take-out if you don't need a seat. Or, if a table is open, take a load off and enjoy table service in the adjacent seating area. I've generally found service to be fast (5-10minnfor food) and friendly.

Paid $28 for two sandwiches at the counter that weren’t priced so I was not aware of the price till check out. We wanted to sit and get a drink but after standing near the bar area for a while being ignored, we attempted to sit down to figure out how to order and was rudely told that we couldn’t sit there unless we ordered the same food we just ordered but from the bar? I told the bar tender we wanted to get a drink from the bar and he said you can sit here and order a drink but you can’t eat your sandwiches while you are here. Then he walked away so even if we wanted to order a drink (and not eat the food that we just bought from the same restaurant), he made it very clear that he’d rather us leave. What?! There are no signs saying that so why would anyone assume that especially when the bar portion is tucked behind la farm. Our flight was delayed so I would have spent a GOOD amount of money + I’m a more than generous tipper. Saved myself $100+ :/ and will definitely never be returning. And if you are wondering if my sandwich was worth $14. Look at the photo of it and you tell me 🙄

Corinna is such a hard worker! I sat at the bar and she is constantly hustling and conscientious of everyone’s time. It is really hard to find those with a great work ethic who have great customer service! Being kind cannot be taught! Corinna! I’m sorry we had such a fun conversation that when I animatedly spoke with my hands I cracked a glass on the bar! Again - your only concern was if I was okay! If you come through RDU be kind to her and her coworkers! Be the best part of their day!

Here’s your perfect spot if you wanna spend a lot of money on below average (even for American market) coffee. And, of course, they hand you a device asking for a tip! My coffee came with everything but goo taste.
