    French press coffee at French press
    Chris M.

    First of all when you're called French Press you've got to show up for the French press coffee. These guys nailed it. It was strong, it was delicious, and it was plenty of coffee, enough to pour the rest to go. They've also got the sugar cane syrup you'd hope for in this area, and it was delicious with the blueberry pancakes. Would def eat here again

    Cajun Benedict
    LindaGG K.

    Outstanding - well prepared breakfast options enjoyed by all - from the Grandparents to the youngest grandchild. Nice spot / staff / proportions. Definitely worth a visit and a revisit. From Cajun items to mainstay classics - enjoy !

    Fried oysters
    Stacy E.

    The place is inviting and quaint. The service was friendly and fast! The fried oysters were cooked perfectly, and the grilled shrimp wrap was absolutely delicious! The french fries are crispy. Yes, I recommend this place.

    The Beignets * soooo flaky! Delicious!
    Jenn G.

    Quickly seated on a busy Sunday at Brunch time. Excellent beignets! Flavorful potatoes with my delicious classic eggs benedict. My kiddo loved his kids pancakes that were really fluffy and smelled yummy! I'll definitely be back!

    Acadiana Breakfast Sandwich with Cheesy Grits
    Carissa C.

    My family and I had a nice breakfast at this French Press Location. Upon walking in, it was busy but we still got seated immediately. I got the Acadiana Breakfast Sandwich which had boudin in the middle alongside a bowl of cheesy grits. It was tasty and filling. My husband got their shrimp and grits and it came with several larger sized shrimps. The service was very quick and attentive, and we'd love to come back to try other items.

    Sorry just a glimpse of the menu

    The food here is always top notch. Delicious. Scrumptious. Fabulous. The truffle fries are to die for. The Cajun Benedict (mygo to every time) is definitely something to try as it is like 100 tiny h**kers dancing on your tongue good. The service is always on point. I remember PJ at the downtown location always giving excellent service. Both locations have a wonderful vive. Do not miss Justin's creations AAAAA++++++

    This was our first time eating here. We drove in from Alexandria LA. We started off with 2 appetizers the truffle fries and the praline bacon. They both were delicious. My friend and I ordered the Cajun Benedict. Toasted French bread, boudin patty, American cheese, 2 poached-medium eggs topped with our chicken & andouille gumbo. We both enjoyed our meal. It was quite delicious. Our other friend ordered the chicken and waffles. Fried chicken strips tossed in LeBlancs Cane Jelly on top of a cheddar waffle. She enjoyed her meal as well. I had a POINSETTA mimosa and the had the french press mimosa. Both drinks were great. Our server was very nice and pleasant. We didn't want for anything. She made us feel cared about. The atmosphere was calming very peaceful to eat here. I would recommend coming here to eat again.

    This is the fabulous crook, Madame with a side of bacon so very over the top

    Drake was our server and he was on top of his game the whole team pitches in to make sure you have excellent service and the food is beyond fabulous. We drive from Texas to come out and eat.

    We had to wait a little bit due to the restaurant being packed around 9:30 ish but it was definitely worth the wait for the food. The staff were super attentive and very welcoming . It was every nice clean environment.

    Great breakfast! I got the andouille & shrimp omlette with grueyere cheese. It was so delicious, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The beignets were awesome too!

    Breakfast egg Benedict
    Teresa C.

    Yummy!!!! I went in at almost noon on a Sunday brunch and there was a busy crowd but no wait time.; solo do sat at the bar. Ordered the egg Benedict and it was fabulous although I paid for it later with heartburn. But next time I know to bring a "TUMS". Wish I lived closer to try everything on the menu bc the food coming out the kitchen looked wonderful.

    Chicken and waffles
    Courtney E.

    Went for brunch during a weekend trip to Lafayette on the recommendation of my Airbnb host. The food was phenomenal, I'm a connoisseur of chicken and waffles and this was probably the best ones I've ever had. The chicken was fried to perfection, so juicy and tender and the pepper jelly it's tossed in was the perfect combo of spicy and sweet. I was a little apprehensive of the cheddar cheese on the waffle but wow that put it over the top, more places should jump on that train. My friend had the crab cake eggs Benedict with potatoes and she said it was delicious and ate the entire portion. The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts was because it took a very very long time to order, get our food, and get our check. We were there an hour and a half. However, our server was doing his best, he was running the bar completely alone while also serving tables so it's not his fault. It seemed like they were short staffed. Normally a long wait time wouldn't bother us but we had somewhere to be and didn't anticipate that we'd be there so long. It's okay though the food was worth it all!

    Eggs Benedict with cheddar grits!
    Troy B.

    Met by friendly service, the atmosphere somewhat modern. I ordered the eggs Benedict with cheddar grits which I'd consider pretty good with a nice presentation. Nothing over the top impressive, but recommended if in the area.

    Responding to Chelsa K.'s 1* review. As I am someone who was in the restaurant when it happened…read more I just think it's funny how you aren't mentioning y'all came in as 6 people and then wanted accommodations for 30 people during one of the busiest times of the night. Or that they argued with the amazing manager for nearly an hour total after being told they couldn't accommodate that size party. They're also leaving out the part where people from their group marched in and seated themselves, stood over occupied tables waiting for guests to leave, insisting the hosts clean the tables, and made the entire restaurant uncomfortable. This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with behavior. Any group acting like that would've gotten the exact same response. In short, do better. Y'all came in and ruined everyone's dinner because y'all don't know how to plan ahead. Stop blaming people for your mistakes and take accountability.

    This restaurant is known for their crawfish unfortunately I visited for a weekday lunch and they…read morewere posting a sign on the doors after I had walked in stating they don't serve crawfish until 4pm weekdays, 3pm on weekends. This may have been part of the reason its wasn't all that busy on a Tuesday lunch. Similar to some other restaurants in Louisiana I've visited, they have a side with a bar, to-go area and high tops, and a more family oriented side of the restaurant with a bunch of low top tables. Fried pork rinds are served with every table. They have daily plate lunches and the one day I came it was chicken fried steak. However, it's not usually a good idea to order CFS outside of Texas in my experience. Therefore, I ended up ordering the catfish and shrimp platter, served grilled instead and added a $5 strawberry margarita. The entree comes with a side salad but they only have seelct dressings and none which I would typically order, so i just settled on honey mustard. Margarita- for only $5 it's not bad and comes with either sugar or salt rim Catfish and shrimp platter - seasoned with a blackened seasoning but it wasn't spicy. The catfish filet was small and tasted like it was previously frozen. The shrimp were also small and didn't taste much better. Not sure I'd return if ever in Lafayette, as I was really looking for a more festive environment and more grilled options.

We had chicken and sausage gumbo, Pepper Jack boudin balls, bam bam gator bites and the blackened chicken pasta. The waiter this time was better than the waitress we had last time. He was very attentive and made sure we never had to ask for refills. The appetizers came out fairly normal time-wise I would say. The main portion took a little bit longer than what you're used to at a franchise restaurant but here that's perfectly fine as it's worth the couple extra minutes. The gumbo is perfect(I love when gumbo is not over complicated) I like to add a lil hot sauce to it and it's delicious... only thing is, while they already give generous portions... the cup and the bowl looked exactly the same except I think in the bowl they give you one extra scoop of rice... which would be just fine if it wasn't like $6 more. But still delicious nonetheless. The bam bam gator bites were really good and I highly recommend them. If you like bam bam shrimp you'll love these. The pepper jack boudin balls were good, nothing special but they were definitely worth the try. My co-worker had the blackened chicken pasta and when I asked him how it was he said "dude, it's really good!" lol. The building is pretty unique and they have some outside seating with a massive beautiful tree that over looks the restaurant and takes claim to some of the asphalt in the parking lot lol. But it's a great spot for birthdays, good lunch menu deals, casual date night or if you wanna blow some steam off, they have a little bar in the restaurant as well. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend. I'm from East Texas, so I'm no Cajun/Louisianan but they truly got some good grub here. I'll definitely be coming back several more times when I get the chances. I will warn you, I believe the food is freshly made so when it gets to the table, give it some time to cool off because it comes out HOT.

    Noah's Café in Lafayette is truly a hidden gem that captures the heart of Southern cooking. I came…read morehere three times in four days, and each visit reminded me why good food and good people make the best combination. The first time, I ordered the barbecue ribs served over rice dressing, and they were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. On my second visit, I tried the smothered okra, which came with a whole quarter piece of chicken and sausage over rice--comfort food at its finest. For my last visit, I couldn't resist the ribs again, this time paired with yams, coleslaw, and pork stew. Every dish tasted like it was made with love right in someone's home kitchen. The staff is kind and welcoming, and even though there's usually a line if you arrive later in the day, it moves quickly. They're only open a few days a week from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so plan ahead for lunch or an early dinner. The menu changes daily, but there's always a reliable grill menu to choose from. Inside, the setting is casual and relaxed--just what you'd want while enjoying a plate of real Louisiana soul food

    Uh, so let me preface this by saying, the customer service was super stellar and for that alone I…read morewould revisit; however, with the utmost respect to the owners of this establishment. I think they need a new recipe for the cornbread dressing and the macaroni and cheese. These two items were extremely lackluster and not good at all. Now, the ribs, candied yams and the roast pork were great and delish but those other sides need some help. The cornbread dressing was dark brown teetering on black in color, which I've never seen in my life. And the macaroni was just that with little to no cheese. The atmosphere is also very inviting and comfortable to sit and dine in. I meant I would return and try other options because the lady at the register was super sweet and kind but in all honesty, those two sides need a recipe overhaul.
