La Farm Bakery

I have lived in the Triangle my whole life, and lots of things have changed as the area has grown but the one thing that has remained a prominent fixture the whole time is La Farm. I used to get La Farm with my family every weekend at the State Farmers Market, and now I'm an adult and still ordering the same blueberry scone every time I go! Their bread is phenomenal, too. I don't often visit for a meal so I can't really speak for their food, but when I've had it before it's been pretty good. But the bread/pastries are definitely the selling point.

I had such high hopes for La Farm as I've had their baked goods on several occasions and was super impressed. However, this was not the case for my food today. I was starving and heading into work, so I thought I would grab a quick and delicious bite. Everything I asked for was unfortunately not available. I went with the Croque Monsieur, as it was the only cooked food available. It came out to me in a cute little white box. As I opened the box, I was saddened to see the size of the sandwich and that it was covered with this thick cheese and mayo like substance. It was super greasy and thick.I tried my first bite and a second bite. My teeth could barely get through the bread. I had to break it off to eat it. I thought maybe I would have a better time with eating the ham. The ham was these three sad and basic slices of deli meat. After trying the ham and attempting one more bite, I said no way am I going to be able to finish this and return it.I spoke with the manager upon returning the sandwich. He explained that their food is brought in from another location, and they just have a toaster in the back to warm it up; so it is better to go to the other location. If you know the quality of your cooked food will not be the best because you do not have adequate facilities then do not offer it. Two stars for being able to access a manager and get my money back. Minus three for the lackluster service and telling me to leave and go up the street for better quality food. Also, for not indicating on your menu that it is controlled by you on an adjustable screen, what items are not available.I will not be returning.

Yummy pastries but just okay lattes. They add wayyyy too much milk. Good quiche but desperately needs salt and pepper. Everything here is overpriced. The quiche was almost $12.

TLDR: Excellent breads and pastries! Love their original Cary location. This location offers another store front to sell their delicious baked goods. There is no restaurant at this storefront, but they do sell pre-made sandwiches and quiches. Typically I go to their Cary Parkway location, but since I was in the area I decided to give this spot a try. It is small and packed with items. As always, I'm so happy I stopped by. I was specifically looking for a small snack, dessert, and a loaf of bread to go with dinner. La Farm of course did not disappoint. I purchased blueberry scone, chocolate croissant (my favorite), focaccia (highly recommend), sourdough, almond croissant, and a berry cream cheese tart. I was happy to see that their blueberry scone didn't have white chocolate in it as their other scones do. Although we liked all of the items, we especially recommend the focaccia. It has the perfect texture and flavor. Only problem is that we eat everything too fast! Similar to their original Cary location, they sell a variety of breads, pastries, beverages, and merchandise here. Although they do not have a kitchen, they sell pre-made sandwiches and quiches. Customer service is great at both locations I have visited. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and helped right away. Parking was easy as they have ample spots available right out front. Overall, excellent experience and we recommend this bakery to others!

quality of bread and croissants has gone downhill., 2nd day in a row., over baked pan au chocolat., so dark it's unappealing and not appetizing., too crumbly all the way inside. The lady at the counter was so rude, she was rushing my husband to check out while he's busy looking on the bread section and trying to choose which bread to buy., meanwhile the rude girl was talking loudly with a male co worker calling him a loser and exchanging unpleasantries with each other. We will try the other branches in Cary as this will be our last on this branch.

Outside seating only by a busy street. Ample parking. Great latte but the pastries lacked flavor. Weak cinnamon in the cinnamon roll for example, although icing was devine. Tomato and mozzarella pastry in which I could not detect the cheese.With the German bakery close by I am not sure I would go here often.

La Farm Bakery is a true Raleigh gem.I visit each time I go for coffee and a few treats for breakfast. The sourdough pretzels are really good and the white chocolate mini baguettes are to die for.I visit the Cary location at breakfast and then grab some treats at the airport on the way home. You can order online ahead of time which is a nice option as they are sold out of many items when I get there around 8:45 in the morning. Everything seems to be baked fresh likely daily so a real treat.

Finally got a picture of my favorite breakfast item at La Farm - the ham and cheese croissant. It is a perfect (albeit, very messy) choice if you love savory breakfast foods. Crispy on the outside, while soft, savory, and cheesy on the inside. I also got an oat milk latte, my go-to whenever I'm at La Farm. Such a warm and comforting cup of coffee -- it never gets old. Can't wait to come back!

Stopped in for a late lunch / snack on a Saturday afternoon. Great selection of breads and pastries. The chocolate almond croissant was delicious. Was a little disappointed that they were "out" of iced tea at 3PM though

Breakfast sandwich was ok, but not the best. Would order something else next time. Macron was soggy and tasted frozen/thawed. Great coffee - ended up ordering two. Loved the atmosphere of the place and the staff were super friendly.
