Absolutely great place to brunch when in laffy! They have some really good home cooked by ya momma style of cooking! Their coffee mixes are so delicious and you can make it spoiled if you want! They're also dog friendly which is great if you're here for the weekend and don't know what to do with your pup!

Yummy brunch place in Lafayette! Visiting Louisiana and decided to come here for some brunch and it was so delicious! We got the cajun benedict, acadian sandwich, beignets, and french toast! The beignets were so delicious and it was our first time trying them in Louisiana! We were also shocked how large the portion sizes were for each dish, definitely shareable and for such a great price! The cafe and service itself were also great. Everyone was very kind and welcoming and the cafe had such a nice look and aesthetic to it!

We love the French Press, downtown. Dicksie and Blake are fabulous servers. The food is excellent: potato salad, hamburgers with quality meat, French toast is delicious and the coffee and drinks all amount to scrumptious. It's our go to sleepy day brunch.

A great brunch place in the middle of downtown Lafayette! I felt like I was in a French cafe with the rustic decor and the calming atmosphere. The food was delicious- Had plain French Toast that was perfectly sweet and delicious. The Sweet Baby Breezus was a great little app. Our server was very friendly and talkative and just made us feel at ease. Definitely can't wait to go back

I'll drop a review here for the Ambassador location.. ate here for a drug rep dinner and the food, ambience, and service were outstanding. Nice options to choose from. My filet was cooked to perfection. The setting was by far the best with regard to group dinner venues. I recommend.

I was super excited to try this place, but sadly it just wasn't it.I went for breakfast and although the place was packed we got a table fairly quickly and staff was really nice. I ordered the Acadian Breakfast Sandwich, which was ok, but nothing extraordinary. I also got to try the Cajun Benedict which sounded amazing, but it was way too overwhelming and not in a good way, kind of bitter or burnt, we just could not finish it
