This is a quaint little grocery store near downtown. Its the closest grocery store to where my partner lives. It is not huge but it has the essentials including wine and beer. It also has a deli with good food to go. The only downside is that is closes early. I'm used to having 24 hour stores near where I live. They also have plate meals for $7.99. I thought it was a bit high, but their portions are HUGE. I ordered fried chicken. I got to choose my pieces and got two legs, a thigh, and a wing. For my two sides I chose dressing and mac n' cheese. I also had a choice of cornbread or a dinner roll, and of course, I chose the cornbread. The downside was that the food was probably cooked way earlier that day, so the chicken was just ok. I didn't eat all of it and it wasn't too great the next day. The cornbread was also a bit dry for my taste. The mac n' cheese was good, but it was obviously a powdered cheese. The winner of the meal was the dressing. It was obviously made in house and had chicken in it. I wish more places had dressing as a standard side. For grocery store food, this was a winner. The guy working the counter was also really friendly and let us taste whatever we wanted. He said the dressing was "damn good." The portions are so huge that my plate was pretty heavy. The cashier said it was so heavy, I was going to get a new rump, which would be good for twerking if I decided to take that up in the future. Ha ha.

A pet peeve of mine is when people talk about how there's no grocery shopping in Detroit, except for Whole Foods or the 8 & Woodward Meijer. Not true! And I'm not just talking about the greater downtown area, there are smaller name, quality grocers scattered around all the neighborhoods. But, that's a tangent for another time. Lafayette Foods is located just outside of Greektown in the Lafayette Park area. It's a solid stop for all your grocery needs. Their dry goods and household item selection is small, but they have you covered on the food, including some pre-prepared options and a deli counter. There's not much in the way of specialty foods - if you're looking for something organic, ethnic, or otherwise uncommon, you likely won't find it here. But all your basic needs are definitely covered, with decent selection and prices. Unlike the big name stores, this one is never crowded and I always feel better knowing I'm putting my money towards an independent store that's been in the community since back before it started becoming cool to be here. Open til 9:00 six nights a week, which is great, and I think until 7 on Sundays.

I live in the neighborhood and I am trying to support this store---and while it is a good addition I've found them lagging lately. This morning they left me and two other shoppers waiting over 15 minutes for an employee to go outside and bring in the Sunday papers---only to tell two of us that there were no NYTimes--no explanation and no apology. If you are going to be a smaller business you have to give good service. This doesn't make it. The employees seem very disinterested in stepping up to a service level that will make neighborhood residents make this their first choice for shopping.

Great local store. Kept really clean and organized. I asked the manager if they could get me a few cases of Contadina sauce and within 3 days they had them specially ordered. Really glad to have someone that goes the extra mile and will continue to receive my business for years to come.

They always have what I want and at the right price! A great neighborhood supermarket.

We live in the Lafayette Park area, and this store is a great addition to the neighborhood. They carry Spartan products and will have a Sav-More (I think) pharmacy soon. It's fairly small, but honestly a lot better than I expected from this size store. The staff is super-friendly, which I really appreciate. I'm always greeted when I come in, when we get lunch meat the deli guy gives us samples, I'm often asked if I need help finding anything, etc. I'm used to smaller stores having an almost convenience-store inventory, with stuff at or past the expiration dates, not having the brands I want, etc., but I've been really pleased with Lafayette so far. They have Boar's Head lunch meat, which can be hard to find and is the best, they've got Calder milk and ice cream, and Great Lakes coffee. They're not so good for household items or pet food...I buy my cat food from Meijer basically so I can get larger quantities. But it's fine if you run out of something and need to grab it here. To be honest I'm not very price-conscious with groceries, so I can't say if they're very expensive here. I think they're probably more than a bigger store, but I haven't noticed that anything was outrageous, and I'm paying for the convenience of something I don't have to drive to. I'd rather shop at a smaller local store anyway than somewhere like Wal-Mart. With Lafayette for about half of our groceries and Eastern Market for the rest, it's rare that we have to make a trip elsewhere.

This grocery store is a great location for people who live Downtown and in Midtown. It has a fairly good selection of products, including meats and fresh produce. The prices are decent and they accept manufacturer's coupons too.
