Lakou Cafe

This was one of the tastiest meals I have had in a long time. I had the Kreyol Shrimp Plate and it was delicious. There was so much flavor packed into everything. Spicy, sweet, sour, savory—all in one meal. Would absolutely come back and visit again next time I am in the neighborhood.

Okay so I initially came because of their Infamous Haitian cashew brittle which is literally mouth-wateringly delicious. I also wind up getting the roast chicken sandwich which was absolutely and utterly the most tastiest thing I've had in a long time. The chicken was Tastefully seasoned not too salty not to dry it comes with the side kale salad and some plantain chips. a must try! The staff was also super warm and helpful and the guys in the back preparing the food were also amazing. I will definitely come back for more Haitian cashew brittle and another sandwich!

Love Lakou Cafe! The cocktails are amazing (we tried the cremas noir and they make their own spice blend in house ??) and the staff is so kind. Also had the Lakou Salmon burger and I’m gonna be thinking about it until I come back here. Very cute vibe, must try!

I went here on a Saturday night with a group of 11 people. Everyone LOVED the food - especially the mushroom sandwich. It seems like the sort of place that does a lot of takeout. We had to ask for things like water and silverware. The staff were all really friendly. I will definitely be going back to try more menu items - very impressive selection of vegan food.

Lakou Cafe is such a gem. The food is packed with bold Haitian flavor and real spice—whether you’re vegan or a meat eater, there’s something here that absolutely hits. Their vegan options are thoughtful and satisfying, not an afterthought, and the meat dishes are just as rich and full of flavor. The full bar is a huge plus, with drinks that are so good I always grab them to go. On top of that, the atmosphere makes it a perfect social spot—warm, lively, and inviting. A great place to eat, drink, and hang out.
