Found this place on a road trip through Lafayette and it totally blew us away. Cool concept. It…read moreleans heavy vegan/vegetarian but they still do bacon, real meats, and real eggs, so you can go whatever direction you want. I like having the option. The breakfast burrito is the star and it's not close. They put broccoli and squash in it. Sounds insane, shouldn't work, but it's one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in my entire life. Get the extra crispy bacon in it. Everything was texturally perfect and they've got this fermented hot sauce that goes with it. Not spicy, just adds a whole extra layer of flavor. A 10 out of 10. The coffee was the letdown. We did a few rounds (cortado, latte, cappuccino) and they came out inconsistent, milk to coffee ratio all over the place. Felt like whoever was making them didn't really know the difference between the drinks. If I'm dinging them on anything, it's that. My wife got one of those big healthy veggie bowls and it was pretty mediocre. Just lacked flavor. If super healthy is what you're after you'll be happy, but hers was a 3 and my burrito was a 10, so I ended up handing her half of mine. That's the deal here, it depends what you order. The veggie and vegan stuff is never going to hit like the real thing, but there's a ton of good options if you care about that. We also grabbed a bunch of their canned goods on the way out. Pesto, that hot sauce, radish kimchi, sweet potato kimchi. They make it all in house and you can tell there's a real passion for creating and doing new things. Super happy we found this one. Highly recommend, especially that burrito.

We've had many birthdays, baptism parties and even a funeral gathering here. That said, this was our go to place for a good 5 years, but with the management change (Jeremy is apparently gone as are nearly all the staff that was there for years) and us never seeing Ema, things went downhill. The last few visits had issues and when the last issue happened I ask to speak to the manager. To my surprise, and despite only a few tables of people the manager was "not able" to talk to us. We waited and after about 10 minutes left to never return. I can't recommend this restaurant any longer but there are many new options and if you watch my Top 100 you'll find at least 4 or 5 other excellent restaurants for breakfast and lunch. Sorry Ema, but you've let this place go.

Upon entry the staff was very friendly & order was quick even during the busy lunch hour. I ordered the half sandwich & soup (club Lola w/ chicken tortilla soup). The sandwich was toasted with crispy bacon. My soup warm a big serving that had a lot to enjoy later at home. I only the soup was a bit more flavorful with a few spices or even corn added to take it up a bit. The broth just tasted tomatoey (.. if that makes sense lol!) Clean inside dining & nice outside picnic tables to sit on. Also, in the same complex as shopping boutiques for a nice stroll. Overall, great experience that I want to come back & try more of their menu. **Note: they're only open M-F 10:30A-2P

The food was mid-level, but I was told it had changed recently. I'll also note that I visited on Ash Wednesday, and I could not eat meat. There were plenty of vegetarian and seafood options for me. The music was nice, not too loud or too quiet. The tables and overall dining room was neat and clean.

They also put chicken on the cheese quesadilla after being specifically told no chicken (we are vegetarian) . No napkins, no cutlary, nothing but a bad attitude. so disappointing.

Some may even say, around here, "C'est bon!" The inside has a few tables to sit and eat as well as a few picnic tables outside. The bathrooms are clean and make a nice pit stop for our road trip.
