This is clearly the best pastry and coffee shop in the area. Real french pastries are their specialty. Some items here are way above the standard coffee shop fare. My only quibble is with the bored-looking, auter customers, who sometimes are also a bit messy. Many foreign students visit here also, which makes it both more interesting, and likely for... More

It's a big hangout for studying students but personally I am not thrilled by the baked goods. European style gateaus, genoise style. And my pet peeve is that they actually charge more for a large size tea than a small size tea. Seriously? To give me more hot water? They claim that the tea bag is larger...but honestly its a...

Chapelure is the best coffee house in E. Lansing, if not in all of Mid-Michigan. Just moved here from a major city and I appreciate a great cup of coffee (not always easy to find here). Friendly staff who remember me every time I come in, excellent and always fresh coffee, and unbelievable pastries. My favorite is the Jamando, a... More

Warning: don't visit this place if you are on a diet! The pastries are amazing! Croissants are unbelievably scrumptious. It has the ambient of a European cafe, small, private. Everything we have tried has been delicious. Highly recommended.

This is my favorite coffee shop in the Lansing area, the pastries and coffee are delicious. I am not a huge fan of the cakes though.

When I got back from Europe I was sad that I may not get to eat the sweets I had become accustom to, but I was very happy to find Chapelure to quell this craving.

my favorite coffee/pastry shop in the greater Lansing area hands down. Coffee is excellent, the pastries are buttery and flaky (so don't over-indulge!!)... there are large tables and small tables, large couches and small couches, strong wifi and excellent ambience music... also, free parking and super friendly baristas! why go to other noisy coffee shops with bad coffee and bad...

My favorite pastries are the vegetable quiche and the chocolate croissants! Everything is so fresh and the staff is always friendly. I try to stop in as often as I can to buy myself some goodies.

I really, really like their coffee. They also have really fancy desserts that look amazing and taste relatively good (I have had better tasting desserts at other places, but they look fancier here).
