Went for breakfast and it was excellent. Heard it was good and it was. Will go back. We were a group of about 21 women from church and they had a table set up for us off to the side and it was great. We all decided that we would be back.

this hidden gem of lafayette is one of my new favorite places to eat. i had never heard of before recently and no one i know knows about it. i feel like it's sort of tucked away and maybe they should promote it better, because there are plenty of people would i know would love this place if they knew about it. the food is incredible and it's all made there. i've been there twice. the first time, there was only one other couple there. the second time, there were about 6 other couples. both times, our food came out in under ten minutes. it was so fast. their biscuits are incredible. plus, they make beignets that taste just like Cafe Du Monde. i can't think of anywhere else in lafayette that does that. super friendly staff, cozy, private atmosphere (also has outdoor seating), fast and fresh food, and it's all very inexpensive. do yourself a favor and go there today!

I absolutely love this place! I'm pretty sure it is owned by the same man that owns Baileys, and he is one of the nicest men, he opens his doors for Thanksgiving to families! I highly recommend giving this place a try, food is great as always and the staff are do nice.

I had an omelet add bacon and they just put a bacon strip in the omelet. Crab cakes was not cook!!! Macaroni was disgusting. My kids like their food, Thank God... but definitely NOT returning. Service was good though.Update: Wrong customer I never lost my phone really unprofessional.

Beignets are the best around in my opinion. Everything we had was fantastic. Especially recommend the Crab cake Bennie and the Cajun Bennie!

Service was by no means fast. Food was meh. Served room temperature. Food not worth the price.

Service is wonderful and the ambiance is welcoming and beautiful. I've been here twice. My only complaint is that the food needs to be seasoned. They have great dishes, just nothing is seasoned, not even salt.

Old & TiredWent on a Sunday morning. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant, no hostess either. Finally one of the wait staff said “y’all can pick a table”.The whole place had an unpleasant musty smell and felt unkept. The food was not fresh and my eggs Benedict was a sad story. The “hollandaise” was chunky and had a strange flavor. The eggs overcooked. Overall, would never ever return. Stay away.

Unfortunately, we were unable to eat here. Despite the website saying they were open, we arrived and they were closed. Very frustrating.

The grilled balsamic salmon from here is great. I ordered it on Waitr and got $5 off using code Local5!
