    The front bar

    The Lobby is a great place for coffee and hanging out. It was busy on a Friday afternoon. My latte was served in a ceramic mug. It tasted smooth and rich. Very nice! This was my first time there. I ordered at the bar and the coffee was brought out to me. The staff are very friendly.

    The ambiance is just perfect in terms of a perfect cofffee place with study space and amazing coffee. The service is pretty good and staff are extremely sweet

    I had been wanting to try The Lobby by Greyhouse, as I use to visit their original location on Purdue's campus. When you walk in the atmosphere is cute, which is no surprise. Greyhouse does a great job. It was pretty full, but we were able to find a seat in the bar area, as it's a seat yourself style. You can order at the counter, or you can use the QR code on the table. We decided to order with the QR code. I ordered the Pistachio latte and the veggie breakfast biscuit and I added bacon. Service, there really isn't any. Nobody brings water to tables or checks in with you as the QR code is their workhorse for table service. The front of the house was welcoming at the counter when you walked in. The servers delivering food were not friendly. The latte was delicious, and Greyhouse makes 10/10 lattes. However, I was highly disappointed in the presentation. The latte looked like a mess, and was a 0/10 on presentation which was surprising for a restaurant that is a spin off on a coffee shop. The food was average. The biscuit had a lot of flour on the bottom and the avocado was not appealing as it was very brown. The bacon was cooked perfectly, and I liked the other elements of the dish.

    Stopped in for a quick coffee and snack. I was surprised again. I really enjoy the lobby. Everything is calming and relaxing and not stuffy. It's a great place to stop and grab a coffee or just come in for a quick bite. Our waitress was Erica, and oh my goodness, was she the best. She was super nice, very knowledgeable, and I just adored her. I got my norm the creme brulee latte hot . My husband got the greyhause cap, and both were excellent. We also got a chocolate chip cookie. It took me back to my childhood. I will be back soon again. Thanks for such amazing service. We need more Erica's, that's for sure.

    The ambiance is great. Comfortable for college students, business people and everyone else. The coffee is tasty, not bitter and hot! Will visit again!

    I love the ambiance of The Lobby. It's a great place to work, go for a meeting, or to meet friends. I've tried the breakfast sandwich and the eggs Benedict and both were delicious. I do feel the price is a little high, but enjoy the ambiance and feel it's worth it.

    This is my favorite coffee shop in the West Lafayette/ Lafayette area! The drink/food menu has a lot of great options and the environment is perfect for getting work done or catching up with friends.

    Very cute and upbeat spot! We ordered a couple of DELICIOUS coffees and plan on coming back for brunch after seeing all the yummy foods go by! Our drinks came out quick by one of the waitresses. We will be back to get the full experience next time!

    It begins and ends with coffee. Stumbled in here during a farmers market- ordered a regular brewed coffee- 1966 blend- it was without question the best coffee I have ever had. It was complex, with a deep roasted flavor without a trace of bitterness. I also sampled the veggie breakfast sammy that my wife ordered; it was unique on a sweet potato biscuit that reminded me of cornbread. The egg, cheese and spinach were a perfect combo in this knife-and-fork dish. I was not a fan of the tomato jam (think sweet salsa) but the wife enjoyed it. I will be back, and likely be over-caffeinated!

    Huh...quite the dichotomy of an establishment. Often we sit at the "bar" for convenience. At 8:00 am in the morning, the waitress carded us because we sat at the bar. We didn't, nor planned on drinking alcohol...we are in our 40/50s. And then, we were told our Starbucks coffees had to be thrown away...not allowed outside drinks. And this was all in the 1st minute of sitting down. That said, once manager took over the situation...all was fantastic. Lovely rendition of Avocado Toast & Biscuits with Mushroom Gravy. Fresh squeezed Orange Juice and artisan crafted coffees as well. Yum!!! OMG! The mushroom gravy biscuit was best ever had anywhere...and we (partially) live in the South. Order it! And last but not least, a make-your-own biscuit with sausage, egg, white cheddar, and a tomato onion jam...Yum!! The tomato Jan is fantastic, and the egg was cooked perfectly. It's a large sandwich, so a nice breakfast to start the day with. Great place...don't sit at bar?

    An elegant, cozy locale to meet up with colleagues or friends or to get some work done. I came in the morning for breakfast and coffee with a friend. I opted for the make your own breakfast sandwich - fantastic variety for however you like it. Greyhouse coffee never disappoints and neither does their service. I'll be back the next time I'm in town - their cocktail menu looks delicious.

    My takeout order didn't have all the ingredients on it that I paid extra for. And it was burnt. See my picture below. Unfortunately, I was already home so I wasn't able to return it. Very frustrating and disappointing.

    Ambiance is what you should expect from a mom-n-pop diner that's been in business since the 50s…read more Clean and well loved. The food is the same way...inexpensive, home style and tasty! The biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've had...light, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. Gravy could be a little more peppery but you can add more if that's your thing. We went on a Sunday about 12:30 and it wasn't busy. The waitstaff was very friendly and the food came out quick. It's out of the way and hidden but certainly worth finding! Will be back in future visits to Lafayette!

    I had the misfortune of experiencing the worst breakfast in years at this establishment. I ordered…read morea ham and Swiss omelette, specifically requesting that my eggs not be brown. To my dismay, they arrived completely overcooked and unappetizingly brown. To add insult to injury, my toast was burnt to a crisp, nearly charred to a shadow of what it should have been. When I pointed this out to the waitress, her nonchalant response was, "It's kind of burnt," as if there are acceptable levels of burn. In my opinion, when the toast is predominantly black, it clearly falls into the category of "burnt." The overall quality of the meal was abysmal, and it was evident that the staff couldn't have cared less about my experience. While I was not charged for the meal, I wouldn't have paid for it even if I had to. There's simply no way I could bring myself to eat here again. Curiously, my husband ordered a similar omelette, but his came out perfectly yellow and appetizing, along with toast that was actually edible. This made me wonder if my request not to burn my food inadvertently insulted the cook, leading to my meal being intentionally scorched. After sending the dish back, I received not a word of apology or even an offer to prepare something else. It was a complete lack of customer service. This review, without a doubt, has to be the most negative I've ever written. Normally, I refrain from posting bad reviews because I understand that everyone can have an off day. If a restaurant attempts to rectify their mistakes, I tend to be forgiving. But in this case, the food was nothing short of garbage on a plate, and the indifference from the staff was glaring.
