    I had just finished a walk around the Lafayette Reservoir and wanted to grab breakfast somewhere so I decided to look up cafés and found this place! The staff were super friendly, you can do takeout or you can have a seat and they'll bring a menu to you. I was definitely overwhelmed with the amount of options that they had. I forgot to take a picture of the breakfast menu, but you could get a breakfast burrito, a breakfast quesadilla, a bagel, different types of empanadas. I was torn between the Carne picada and beef but was recommended the beef so I got that and the chorizo along with a matcha horchata. The drink came out first and you know what, sometimes matcha does taste like grass lol it was definitely a unique taste mixed with horchata. I did have a sip of the horchata before I mixed it all together and the horchata by itself was actually really good. The empanadas are good, the beef was delicious but because they do have to reheat these empanadas I'm not gonna lie, my beef was mostly hot, but there were some lukewarm parts and my chorizo empanada was warm on the outside and cold on the inside. I hate causing problems and making people feel bad so I just took my chorizo home with me and threw it in my air fryer. Again the staff were so freaking nice, I know they 100% would have heated it up again for me but ya girl be shy sometimes okay. But this café was honestly just the perfect vibe. They had music blasting and I was able to do some light reading. I would honestly come back if I'm ever in the area again. I believe they are open seven days a week from 7 AM to 3 PM!

    Breakfast burrito

    Food was amazing! I got the breakfast croissant 10/10 and my friend a breakfast burrito. We got a an empanada and a lavender latte (really good) and alfajores. Totally recommend

    Coffee and drinks menu

    Fantastic new addition to Lafayette! Very decently priced coffee, a lot of good food options, including breakfast all day, pastries, and empanadas. I had their cappuccino and breakfast burrito with the chicken apple sausage. The cappuccino was good, and the breakfast burrito was amazing. Wrapped in green (spinach?) tortilla, and all the stuff in there was really good other than a bit of avocado skin. I'd def get this again, perhaps with the chorizo next time. The husband had their steak sandwich. He said the sandwich was good, but pricey for what it was. We initially ordered via Door Dash since it showed up there and we were hoping for a quick pick up. However, the online ordering system wasn't set up (something premature from DD's end?), as they were confused as I said I was picking up an online order. Anyways, reordered the food while the husband was waiting in the car outside. Didn't appreciate it didn't fall within our plan and at us back 15 mins or so, but it was what it was. Had to ask DD for credit/refund since I paid at the store too. The size of the place is decent and it all looked so clean. Good amount of tables, and there's some outdoor seating as well. Saw a lot of people ordering empanadas. Yum!! Would go back again and try some more offerings, including smoothies, more coffee, and of course food! Will probably wait until online ordering is confirmed though.

    Add me to the Abe's fan club. Whether it's a coffee drink or signature empanada or burrito breakfast or hibiscus tea or caramel cookie or anything else, it's all good at Abe's. Not to mention the retro ambience and good feeling. First time but I will be back early and often

    So happy this little cafe opened up in Lafayette! The empanada was so delish - right out of the oven with great flavor. The strawberry matcha with cream top was also divine. Sat outside and it was so easy. The woman who took our order was so kind as well!

    Front counter with menu above

    Excellent breakfast from a most interesting menu. I had a huge qusadilla cut into hand holdable quarters filled with scrambled eggs, meat of choice, cheese and a side of green salsa. It come with a slice of orange. They also have bagels and salmon with cream cheese, avocado toast as well as bacon and eggs and toast. They serve excellent coffee with free refills. They have a large selection of very fresh sweet breakfast pastries. They are open 7-3 daily. I haven't tried their specialty sandwiches but they look really good.

    Smoked Salmon salad

    Had lunch here today, such a cute local place! Staff is super nice & welcoming. I had the smoked salmon salad & it was so good! Coffee & tea options are great too. Highly recommend

    Matcha latte, Orange/Beet Juice, and Strawberry Matcha

    Delicious matcha, perfectly balanced and unsweetened. The strawberry matcha was delicious too and tasted like fresh strawberries. The staff were so sweet- I highly recommend supporting this small business!!

    The Caprese Empanada.
    Altan K.

    This is a great little place. Wife and family stopped in for it early afternoon. The aqua grew as were exactly what we were looking for one a hot day. We all tried the different ones: the watermelon mint, the spinach & pineapple, and the horchata (rice, milk, cinnamon). All three were great! Refreshing light and taste great. We spoke with the owner Abe who was professional and friendly and made great recommendations. The service is excellent!. The food is delicious. The family had the sirloin sandwich and caprese empanadas. The steak was made perfectly and the bread crisp and light with excellent toppings. The empanadas were light and crispy and tender and cooked perfectly. The place being new is spotless and modern. Absolutely great! Highly recommend this place as it has a great personal touch and feels very comfortable and inviting! Hats off to Abe and staff! A very welcome addition to the community!

    Our go-to morning spot after a walk for years now. Lafayette Public House nails the coffee shop…read morebasics and then some. Plenty of espresso drinks, freshly brewed coffee with cheap refills, and a pastry case that always has something worth grabbing. The breakfast menu holds up too. Avocado smash on sourdough and the farm fresh egg sandwich are both solid picks if you want more than a pastry. The space is the real draw. Indoor seating if you want quiet, plus a big covered patio out back with string lights, wine barrel tables, and heaters for the colder months. It's a pleasant place to sit and talk without feeling rushed. A few tips if you're heading over: get there early for the best seats, and street parking out front is free until 10am. After that you're hunting. Kitchen closes at 2pm, so plan accordingly. I've only ever come for the morning routine, but they've got a full bar with craft cocktails, draft beer from local breweries like Fieldwork and Altamont, and wine by the glass. The evening side is on my list. If you live in the area and don't have a regular coffee spot yet, make this it.

    We ordered the smashed avocado toast, including one with scrambled eggs, and everything was…read moredelicious. The service was smooth and very efficient. The two young ladies who helped my daughter and me were pleasant, friendly, and helpful apologies that I didn't catch your names! We also ordered a vanilla latte with sugar-free Torani vanilla (the absolute best!) and a matcha. The inside of the café is magnificent, but since it was such a beautiful day, we chose to sit outside, which was just amazing. The seating was very comfortable, and our food was brought out promptly. Thank you for the wonderful service and hospitality. We look forward to visiting again soon!
