I will sorely miss Smittybread upon leaving the Lafayette area. Please visit this lovely, locally owned bakery. Buy a baguette or two or three a week. Get yourself a pastry and really sit taking your time to enjoy it. Acknowledge the commitment the staff put in to such a tough business. Thank you Smittybread. read more

The sourdough boules are terific, very chewy and flavorful, even day-old. We also liked the cinnamon buns.

Stopped in for the first time last week. DELICIOUS!! If you are looking for amazing sourdough, baguettes and sweet treats, this is definitely worth a try. The space is small, to go counter only, suited our needs just fine The gentleman who helped us choose bread was fun! He was funny and engaging all while delivering fantastic service. I would definitely recommend a stop in even if it is just so you can get a baguette for dinner and eat most of it before you get home!!! read more

Go-to for anything sourdough. Baguettes are also fantastic, everything is fantastic actually. 10-10

Delicious bread and pastries! Had the sourdough and some pastries. Everything was delicious and light and flaky. Prices aren't cheap though it is quality baked goods you're getting for that. read more

I had a delicious sandwich here and amazing chocolate croissants! So excited to have a bakery in town. I look forward to trying out more of their bread--especially their sourdough. Bonus: There is a discount on day-old bread and pastries. Still delicious, and will save you a bit of cash! read more

The fresh sandwiches are amazing. Words cannot describe how good their homemade breads are. They have a loaf with garlic close embedded in it and I would buy they out if I could. Please take the time to stop and this local shop. Employees are welcoming and knowledgeable, and recommend just the right things. There is not seating, and it's a very small operation but you'll enjoy your fresh items elsewhere. read more

Lovely local place for bread and baked goods. They're always nice and usually pretty quick I highly recommend stopping by read more

Made a bunch of sandwiches before a Purdue game. The baguettes were THE bomb! Piled high with cold cuts, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, olives, oregano, salt, pepper and Italian dressing. The baguette was super crusty which made it pair oh so well with the dressing. Crispy on the outside with a burst of flavors from the inside. Lady working registers was super helpful picking out a good loaf. Walk up counter made it easy to order. Very chill. All take and go. read more

I can't overstate my love for Smitty Bread. It's by far my favorite bakery in Lafayette/West Lafayette. The location is just a bit outside of downtown on 4th street but not too bad if you're used to going to the market downtown on Saturdays. The bread here is on point. The sourdoughs are amazing but my go to is the baguette. It's got a great crumb on the outside but nice and chewy on the inside. At $4 a loaf, it is a great affordable price point. Don't forget their croissants either. I had the opportunity to have one of their fresh baked almond croissant right out of the oven and it was perfect. This place is worth making a trip to Lafayette alone and is a great bakery in the community. You can also find them at the the local farmers markets . read more

Great little bakery near the heart of Lafayette. My first visit but it was clean and friendly. In store I had a solid coffee and a kinda croissant-feta-onion roll. Really good. Then bought a baguette and a loaf of sourdough. Both excellent. Totally worth a visit. read more

This place rocks! There aren't enough superlatives to describe how great the breads and pastries are. If you know about this place yet haven't come by, shame on you! If you are just hearing about Smitty Bread, get in here and see what the hype is. read more

Incredible and obvious the high ratings across both Yelp and Google for this sourdough centric bakery paving the way to aroma heaven. Sadly there's limited ingredient and flavor options, nothing gluten free or grainless, would love to see some black beans and such show up especially at these California city prices! Friendly and fun staff made my first time stop a win, easy to indulge on everything tempting me from the shelves yet at seven dollars a loaf I felt better dropping that on an almond scone and cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was surprisingly similar to the ones my mom used to make, yup fresh ground flour too! Cannot say mom has been beaten there but the scone made perfection jealous! Wow! I would easily come back just for that. Parking is plentiful despite sharing the lot with the mentally disturbed graphically challenged neighbors who certainly seem to share my own old fashioned mental trauma however I prefer music to Picasso graffiti. Yet I'm often trotting inside to grab Eleventh House coffee and all the better now to add a scone with it! read more

I want to say that I'm a huge sourdough fan so the fact I know where to come when I'm in town for work is great. Had the Reuben sandwich, a chocolate croissant, some cinnamon rolls and a sourdough boule. All were great and definitely the spot I will come to for my bread delight! But maybe it was the timing when I came in, there was so much confusion on order tickets and multiple people doing the register while making sandwiches which made it feel chaotic but everyone was joyful. Other than that, you have good coffee and some amazing items worth trying. I'll be back! read more

It was my first time here today, and I'll be back soon!! Great staff and wonderful menu. I had a hard time deciding, but went with a ham and cheese croissant sandwhich. It was delicious! read more

Awesome sourdough bread, great pastry, and coffee. Family owned and run. Strong counter service, even when busy. Other yummies include almond croissants, spinach and feta danish and swirl pumpernickel. Smitty's dad ran the best grocery in West Lafayette FOREVER! It is so reassuring in these troubled times to see family traditions exist and flourish in Lafayette Indiana! Highly recommended. Cynthia, Lafayette read more

This would be my fave if it were in Paris. It's very good, particularly in the area of baguettes, sourdough breads, and croissants. On their bread i suggest that if they don't have what you want in stock, ask about it as they often have some frozen stock (which is just as good). We often get them to slice the bread for us there, or warm some pastries for us to eat there. It's telling that their clientele is often european. They also sell at area farmer's markets. read more

Two words: almond croissant. This place is delicious. So many pastries and breads literally made while you can watch. They put so much care in each thing they make, which is why it's a little pricey, but worth it. read more

Friendly bakery with a great selection of sourdoughs, croissants and pretzels. They also serve sandwiches, toasts, and coffee. I enjoyed visiting with a friend over cappuccinos. We also picked up some day old bread. The Italian loaf I brought home was a perfect accompaniment to bruschetta. I need to come back and try their croissants! read more

Super cute and homey ambiance, exactly what I want from a bakery. Great prices and the spinach feta croissant was delicious. They were also willing to give me some of their sourdough starter. Great experience, definitely recommend read more

I happened by this place during my daily social-distancing walk. They have a window for to-go baked good pickups! I grabbed a Lafayette Sourdough boule, which isn't the sourest version I've ever had but is great texture and has a nice crunch. read more

Everything I've tried here I've loved. This is the place I always take my family and friends when they come into town. You have to get there before 10 to have the best selection of pastries, and always buy one for later because you'll definitely eat the first one in the car ride home. Their almond croissant and olive breads seem to be crowd favorites. read more

Stopped in here and I was not disappointed. I got the special of the day. Rueben sandwich, chips, pickle spear and tomato soup. I added a bottle coke and it was only $11 for everything. Defiantly worth every cent. The sandwich is toasted with their rye bread and melted the cheese so perfectly. I got a chocolate croissant for breakfast tomorrow. My co worker I was with had one while we were there and he said it was amazing. read more

Everything is perfect. And the bread is vegan. Awesome sourdough bread. I come here every week or so.

Amazing amazing bakery. Everything's I've had I LOVE. And their chocolate filled croissants put Starbucks' to shame! Be ready to wait in line. Worth it! A lot of people willing to wait on baked goods is a strong indicator in itself of how great this place is!! read more

The best bread in Indiana, bar none. Smittybread is a bakery on par with what you would find in any Hipster capital in the country. Discovering this bakery absolutely changed my attitude towards living in Indiana, and is a worth the drive from anywhere in the region. Anyone driving through Lafayette should absolutely stop. Those living local should make them their go to for all of your bread needs. Smittybread specializes in sourdough and has a decidedly French take on bread. Their baguettes are some of the best I've ever had, as good as those I've had in France. My favorite is taking a bite off of still warm baguette before I even make it out the door, a baguette that never even makes it home. Your taste buds, your friends, and your friend's taste buds, will thank you for checking out Smitybread. read more

We tried the sourdough bread, & it was very dense. Did not care for it. However the cinnamon roll was delicious!

Bread is amazing! Best sourdough ever. The marquis is our favorite. Pastries are delicious too. Cute little place with big taste.

The Ellsworth grilled cheese is to die for! It is seriously the best sandwich. The customer service is super. The croissants are amazing. This place is a must try. read more

Doesn't look like much but this bakery is definitely turning out world-class breads and pastries. The style is French (my wife is Belgian and we often travel in Europe), but they also have some classic American options, like pecan buns. And pretzels. The breads are outstanding and include a few sourdoughs and others that are more classic non-sour yeast breads (I prefer the latter). Highly recommended. read more

A relatively new bakery in Lafayette. Smittybread offers flakey, buttery baked goods. From ham and cheese croissants to reuben sandwiches, they offer a large variety of freshly baked goods. The morning buns are especially good. They also offer baguettes and other freshly baked breads. We haven't tried much of their stuff but everything we have tried was delicious. I look forward to future visits when we can try their lunch sandwiches. read more

I am so happy this place is here. I just bought my first (and definitely not last) Smitty baguette today. It is absolutely delicious. Reminiscent of baguettes I've had in France!! My husband started making baguettes because we couldn't find any decent ones in Lafayette. He can happily put that hobby to rest now that Smittybread is here!!! It made for delicious sandwiches!! Just perfect!!!! read more

Best bread in town. Amazing! Also, they serve croissants, danishes, burgers etc. Very good coffee as well.

I love coming here, the staff is so friendly and their products are consistently top tier. I love the classic sourdough. Definitely recommend stopping by! read more

My wife and I are a heavy user of this bakery. We had many kinds of breads from this bakery at the farmer's market in Purdue campus and the store in Lafayette. All breads are decent so you can choose any breads you want. They will not disappoint you. A masterpiece of this bakery is a Croissant, which is the best Croissant in Indiana from my perspective. I strongly recommend it. read more

If you are feeling down, just go inside smittybread and the smell of fresh bread and the cherry service you will receive will instantly lift your spirits. we got sandwiches and coffee here and all was delicious.

We found Smittybread by googling "things to do in Lafayette". We're always looking for off-the-beaten-path places to go and experience. Smittys did not disappoint. The baguette and sour dough bread we bought was very good. We got sandwiches for later, and they were good as well. The staff was super friendly and genuine. We were traveling in our RV, in route from Chicago to Florida. We would stop here again. read more
