8 Best Cocktail Bars near Lafayette

“Beautiful interior decorating, all from Mexico if I’m not mistaken. And the tacos are 100% authentic. I loved what I ordered: carnitas, al pastor, and lengua. Absolutely delicious. The service was courteous and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“I was meeting a friend for lunch and waiting outside of the restaurant. A couple came in that it was apparent that they had been out in the cold for awhile. The gentleman asked if I knew how much a cup of coffee would be? They shared some of their struggles and lack of funds. I wasn’t sure they served coffee. I entered Nom Noms and asked the waiter. He said they only have coffee on Sundays but they would make some. The couple asked if they had tea, they were given some iced tea. Nom Nom staff allowed the couple to sit down for a good hour, to warm up and enjoy not only one cup of coffee and tea, but refilled their cups a couple of times! Well done Nom Noms! Thank you for your hospitality to this couple!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant — it’s truly one of my favorite places to eat, no matter the time of day. I’ve dined here for brunch, lunch, and dinner more times than I can count, and every experience has been consistently wonderful. The food is always fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor with a seasonal change that welcomes new and exciting options. Whether I’m enjoying a hearty brunch, a light lunch, or a relaxing dinner, every dish tastes carefully crafted and thoughtfully prepared. It’s clear that the chefs take pride in what they do. The service is equally impressive. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They remember regular guests, offer great recommendations, and make you feel right at home every single time. Mary brings a unique flare from New England to Lafayette. And the atmosphere — cozy yet vibrant — makes it perfect for any occasion. In short, this restaurant delivers on every level. It’s rare to find a place that maintains such high standards across all meals and visits, but they truly do. Highly recommended!“

“Great service from Ashlyn“

“From the time we enter and were seated (immediately) to the end of our meal (we were a party of 5), this was a great experience. Having such a warm and welcoming environment like this so close to Purdue's campus is really great! Kenna was our server. If we could give her 10 stars we would have! She did a great job of giving us friendly and timely service and keeping our coffee cups full! She was cheerful, kind and welcoming without being intrusive.. Grateful for Kenna's great service!“
