What a wonderful place to relax and eat at, especially after checking out the antique shops. Ive been a couple of times.The muffaletta is satisfying. The turkey bacon club has pesto - delicious! Lastly, the gumbo is yumbo!I look forward to trying the other items on the menu.

You will be PLEASANTLY surprised by this AWESOME CAFE! My guy and I enjoyed a grilled chicken salad and had bowls of the corn and shrimp soup.The staff is friendly and doesnt mind interacting with patrons to help them figure out what may befit their appetites.This place is definitely the type of spot you drive to from afar just to dine-in for great food.

The atmosphere is cozy, romantic in an old cafe way. The staff were friendly and happy, always good to see. The food was great which seems to be rare near Baton Rouge. The ingredients were very fresh, the bread was amazing, and everything on the menu sounds so good. I will be coming back for sure.

Great locally owned place, uncomfortable chairs prevents 5 stars. Didnt eat, but lunch business was brisk. Will try again soon.

Very nice warm atmosphere. Morning biscuits are fantastic just by themselves or add simply a fried egg or even sausage or bacon. Coffee of any style will leave you pleasantly satisfied. They open at 6:00 in the morning so it’s nice to stop by on the way to work for an order to be put together quickly and then on your way.

We had Cafe au Lait, a scone, and a blueberry muffin (lots of blueberries!). The pastries were tasty and the beverages were wonderful. I met the owner with whom I had a nice chat. It was a great visit.

This restaurant is my favorite! It is located right in the heart of Denham Springs in the Antique Village. Ihave tried nearly all everythingon the menu and have loved it all. It is the cherry on the cake for a day trip to the Antique Village .

Review №22

This place has good food and coffee. The service is not that good. They take to long . They take someones order and fix it completely before taking the next persons order. While waiting at the counter they didnt even say they would be with me in a minute. I was standing at the counter for 3 to 4 minutes.The just walked by like I wasnt there along with the four others in line . Three people working and they still couldnt keep up . Good food and coffee just slow service.

I had no idea this place existed until my friend brought me here for lunch. The food was delicious! The menu’s selection of drinks and food exceeded my expectations. What really took the cake was the ambiance. You can sit inside and enjoy the decor or sit outside on the deck to soak up the view. I’ll definitely be back!!

This is a place I’ve gone to since I was younger and it hasn’t lost its charm and homie feel. You feel welcomed and when they hand you one of their many different mugs you can weirdly feel at home. This is a great place if you want to sit down for a read, have a conversation, get some work done or just take a breath.

Review №27

This place is absolutely AMAZING. Me and some family got together today and we sat in this little coffee shop for hours!! So long that they had closed, and they still let us sit there an hour after closing and catch up with one another. Their service was great, the coffee was delicious, nobody was judgmental about anything and we felt VERY welcome. I will 110% be back!!

Marginal... some good, some wrong and some bad. Sandwiches were good. No complaints. The salad order was wrong. It would be nice to have the option to have cheese put on the side or omitted completely, as requested. The cake balls were awful. They tasted like the fridge they were stored in.

THE best place for a quick bite while shopping in the Antique Village. They serve coffees, lattes, and teas as well as a delightful variety of soups sandwiches and salads. And dont forget to grab a few of the gourmet cake balls! Youve earned it! Plenty of seating inside and on the patio to sit and watch the trains go by.

The coffee here is gross. The cafe is brewed at way to high a temperature, the roast taste like generic Walmart brand made for brewing coffee not espresso. The staff was rude, didnt greet me and the only reason I know the transaction was over was because she walked away without saying anything. Seriously the worst coffe shop Ive seen and I live in UT. I dont know how you could possibly drink this garbage. We have better vending machine coffee in Utah.

Ordered carmel mocha frappe, around $6-7 for a large with tip and tax. Smooth, good tasting coffee withOUT a bite. I prefer mine a bit sweeter and will have them make adjustments next time before I tell them I am happy with it. Owned by a church. Good service.

The decor was fun and they did not seem put out whe I asked for a change in how my sandwich was made. Will defi ately go here again the next time Im in the area.
