The place is loud and small, and the food took one hour to get to us, for no reason at all and without any apologies. Not worth it.

I loved Lakou!!! The food was sooo good, very flavorful, and made fresh to order.
I absolutely loved the Lakou smoothie and ginger lemonade both were so delicious and refreshing.
The shrimp plate was my fav! I also really loved the cornbread, it looks dry and burnt but it’s was buttery, moist, and delicious.
I’m not vegan but I really liked the vegan griot (fried jackfruit) and I put the epis sauce on everything!
The decor is so cute and welcoming and I love that they showcase local art.

Very dope spot, I can tell it gets busy and has a great vibe at night. The food was really good and so was the Crown Heights smoothie I had. Hoping in the future they’ll have patties. I definitely recommend.

Walked in spontaneously tonight while taking shelter from the snow. The mushroom sandwich was incredible and we loved the mixed vegetarian plate & banana bread for dessert. We’re not vegan but always love to substitute a poor chicken for a delicious mushroom. Great service from the barista! Support this local business!

great place in the neighborhood. current favorites are the green goddess smoothie, the legim, and the soup joumou. not a fan of the spinach patty i had, but everything else i've tried has been good so far! can sometimes take a while to get your order, even if it doesn't seem crowded. maybe they just get a lot of online orders? one time i ordered online and when i got there they said they didn't get it so they never started preparing it. so order online at your own risk.
Chill place to work/ grab a smoothie

I've been dying to try this restaurant the next time I came home and it was AMAZING!!! The food was out of this world! Super flavorful! Cayel and Fritz walked us through the menu and made great recommendations. Thank you guys for having vegan and gluten-free options. This allows me to enjoy my culture again! I had the vegan griot that was perfectly fried and that green sauce was perfectly paired. My friend had the shrimp and ended up drinking the sauce from the bowl cause it was so good! Thank you again guys!
