Kismet Cafe — Restaurant in Lafayette

Kismet Cafe is a wonderful addition to the community, offering a delightful mix of sweet and savory Mediterranean treats.

I love stopping by for a pastry with coffee. The Portokalopita, an orange yogurt cake with fillo and syrup, is an absolute must-try—it’s simply divine. Their baklava is also a standout. You can pair your pastry with traditional Turkish coffee for a rich and authentic experience, or opt for their regular espresso bar for a classic option.

Originally focused on pastries, Kismet Cafe has recently expanded its menu to include savory options that are just as impressive. Their mezze lunch is a highlight, featuring a variety of dishes that showcase the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean.

Beyond the delicious food, Kismet Cafe offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner is kind and personable, though often busy. It’s a true gem in the community and a place I always look forward...

While visiting my hometown of Lafayette, CO I stumbled across Kismet Cafe, and it was an absolute delight! The vibe was welcoming and relaxed, with comfortable seating options both inside and outside. The staff was incredibly helpful and charismatic, making the experience even more enjoyable.

I ordered a Dirty Chai (chai tea latte with a shot of espresso), which was very delicious. The highlight, though, was the gluten-free Koulourakia—a Greek butter cookie with vanilla and a hint of lemon. It was phenomenal! I couldn’t even tell it was gluten-free, and I ended up buying extra to take home.

Kismet Cafe just opened this October, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to relax and reconnect with others. It’s definitely a spot worth frequenting for locals...

We were trying to find something light and small to start our day. Previewed the menu & the Meze lunch caught our eyes. It was almost like a small sample platter & it was delicious! We also ordered some Turkish coffee which came with a Turkish delight & some pistachio baklava. Everything was how it was supposed to be. Hummus & tzatziki were fresh, spanokapita & baklava were flaky & full, coffee got those eyes open. They had different spots to sit in. Patio or cute cozy couches. Definitely can't wait to go...
