About Cafe Jefferson

Cafe Jefferson offers a peaceful atmosphere, with beautiful gardens to walk through while waiting for a table. The menu features standout dishes like seafood bisque, with large shrimp, crawfish, and crab in a creamy, velvety broth. The rolls are perfectly baked, and the salads come with a delicious bleu cheese dressing. The view from the cafe is stunning, and the cozy atmosphere is especially enjoyable with a window view or outdoor seating under the oak trees. The sandwiches are large, and the desserts, like bourbon pecan pie and key lime pie, are delicious. Many visitors say the food is better than they can make at home, and the place offers a unique experience with food and drink on land at 75 feet elevation overlooking the water in south Louisiana. The grounds are always beautiful, and the staff provides excellent service even when busy. It is a great spot to take someone special, tour the Joseph Jefferson Home, and enjoy the gardens, grounds, history, and nearby lake and towns.
