Buttery Shelf Eatery

What an absolute hidden gem. It's a little hard to catch them during their limited business hours but when you make it, it's so worth it. Everything is donation based and the food is just phenomenal. With such a wholesome staff, i left feeling like I should hug everyone there. The food was better than my grandmas.. just don't tell my grandma.

Lafayette's best-kept lunch secret. This place offers an incredible deal for lunch. The soup, salad and sandwich sample is hearty, filling and delicious for only $9. Service is always friendly. Atmosphere is quaint and historic. Only open Fridays and Saturdays at lunch.

Intimate setting and service. Felt very cared for. Food was excellent, with a targeted menu for lunch. Wish it was open more days, but they have quality a priority over quantity.

What a true treasure! The atmosphere is amazing. This is a place I would love to take out of town visitors. The owner is so generous, kind and does wonderful things for the community. The eatery is colonial and totally charming. The portions are ridiculously generous and the food is so comforting. Prices are really cheap, but the food is not. Try this place for lunch! Be aware of the limited hours.

What a magical little place! I got beef roast and mashed potatoes and French onion soup and everything was perfect and tender and flavorful and they brought a lovely cinnamon cookie and strawberries for a dessert. And offered me extra gravy for the half I took home because it was so much food. And the restaurant is spotless and adorable and everybody was so nice, and they made a grilled cheese for my husband because he is vegetarian and all the dishes had meat. This was a special and memorable lunch.

A real hidden gem. Some of the tastiest food I've had in Lafayette. Great vibe and totally different from our standard sorts of places. We'll be back for sure.

The food was phenomenal and the rustic charm this place exudes is intoxicating! Best eatery in Lafayette!!

Great Thurs-Sat lunch place. $7 for the 3 course lunch of soup, salad and sandwich - any one of which would be priced at $7 or more in other restaurants. Good quality and generous portions. Very nice people supporting a charitable cause so even though you can eat very inexpensively, if you have the means, consider over-paying as it all goes to charity.

CLOSED until March 2017. Very disappointed I hope they open again the reviews are very tempting.

This experience is horrible. the place just disgusting. I hate this place because the employees kept on giving me nasty Looks. they kept on arguing with me when I was trying to get the food. The employees were drinking on the job. And one of the employees were drunk. The food was rotten. I will never come back there again for those who come there beware.
