Usually, when I don't know what the house drip coffee tastes like, I'll order an Americano, because they tend to be balanced, no matter which coffee shop I'm visiting. My instincts were right! The Americano at Wanderlust is mighty tasty. If you have time to sit a spell, I suggest ordering your coffee "for here" so you can drink it out of a real cup, like a real boy. There are lots of places to sit and sip your stuff, not just in the immediate area, but there's also a separate room across the way with even more seating. That's also where the restrooms are located. Side note: Even if you don't need to use the restroom, you should visit the restroom. It is a sight to behold. I couldn't leave well enough alone and had to get a pastry to go with my coffee. There was this slab-cream-pie-pastry-looking number calling my name from the case. It was very creamy and flaky and rich, and went well with my coffee. No regerts.

Unfortunately, it was almost pure white like milk, tasted synthetic, and neither I nor my sister could enjoy it. I kindly asked if it could be remade or replaced with something else, but the staff declined and told me in a very condescending way I'd need to pay again if I wanted a different drink. Which is fine, a simple apology would have also worked. That was disappointing on its own, especially since this has been one of my favorite coffee shops and I've brought plenty of friends, neighbors, and even visiting family here to support the business. What truly drops this review to one star, however, was the shocking response I received from one of the employees. She cussed me out, yelled, flipped me off, threatened to call the cops on me, and screamed for me to never come back--all while I had my baby with me. I've never experienced such unprofessional treatment from a business. I can only hope the owner reviews the cameras from this incident and takes the matter seriously. Sadly, I will no longer be returning or recommending this café to others.

Amazing food and drinks, 10/10 would recommend and go back if we are ever in the area!read more

After a few hours of working hard in Lafayette to get that bread, I needed to find a place that…read morewould sell me some bread with some stuff in between it. The Eleventh House seemed like the perfect stop for elevenses, because they are a coffee shop that also sells sandwiches (bagel sandwiches). The food menu consists of basically just bagels and bagel sandwiches, but that's fine, because The Eleventh House makes a great bagel sandwich. They also offer random little nibbly things, like hard-boiled eggs with dijon mustard, kimchi, citrus slices and "half of an avocado with a crazy amount of Old Bay," which I'm going to have to try to make at home sometime. Some of their sandwiches have exciting things in them, like pickled daikon, burnt pimento cheese (why does that sound so appealing?) and onion jam. I opted to keep my lunch rooted in the quotidian, so I got a Ranch BLT (bacon, iceberg lettuce, tomato, avocado, ranch seasoning, Kewpie mayonnaise) and the Turkey & Havarti, which is mostly just that. Maybe my choices were a little basic, but sometimes the classics are where it's at. These sandwiches were very tasty! The coffee shop / restaurant feels very open, with natural light coming through a skylight window and plants everywhere. It's a nice place to sit and chill for a while. When you dine in, they give you a number on a tarot card to place at your table. My tarot card was the Three of Wands, which I've learned represents the threshold of adventure, a call to leave your comfort zone to seek enlightenment in the world. (And, perhaps, an invitation to live deliciously?) How appropriate.

We ordered coffee and breakfast sandwiches, they were out of a couple of their items on the menu. The breakfast sandwich with the buttermilk biscuit was a bit dry, since the bread was thick without enough filling, as well as it being super crumbly it was difficult to eat. Ended up taking off the top half of the biscuit. Another coffee order came out way after we got our food. Nonetheless the coffee was decent and the staff were absolutely fantastic.

I think after four years of excellent beverages here it has taken a while to face the facts with inconsistent experimental specialities. The price gouging has also become difficult. Tiny right ounce servings at regular full sixteen ounces prices ruins the forward thinking espresso vibes. Alongside with the remodel that ruined the cool couch nook, less space here, free parking is nice, location right down from the airport is neat, but sadly there are much better options that haven't pumped up prices and leaked out extra for it. I highly recommend Sacred Grounds, Eleventh House, and Wanderlust where quality, value, and consistently are prime.
