Reviews for Lakou Cafe in Brooklyn, NY
So I had the soup here and it was absolutely wonderful. It was nice and hot filled with potatoes vegetables and the regular j o... u m o u flavoring. I also had a veggie patty. I like the way the bread is very soft and crunchy at the same time. Now customerservice was good however I was charged a tip I did not bother to leave a tip however the staff member placed in the tip. This isnot fair this is not good practice. Please change the card swipe so it does not charge your customer a tip this is at thediscretion of your customer. The next thing that's an issue for me I rolled up in there 11:00 a.m. why was music blasting soloud I had to repeat myself three times and ask the staff member who was taking my order what did she say over and over again.There's no reason why the music should be playing so very loudly. If you need to stay up drink a cup of coffee. I think thattook away from the enjoyment of wanting to stay and possibly just gather in the front or even sit for a minute. I do hope on mynext return these things have changed otherwise I know a number of other Haitian restaurants they may not be in the neighborhoodbut they do listen to their customers and try to improve upon what we ask of them. So keep up the good work with the food andhopefully I'll see you again and try something new. Read more
Second time visiting NYC! My first time ever since being in America that I have found great Haitian (inspired) food to eat!... Great food! Great service! My sister and I got their Haitian Boulette Baguette sandwich, fried Plaintain, Vegan Griot, Hotcocoa, Lakou Delight smoothie, and Ginger double shot. Everything was absolutely amazing! ABSOLUTELY recommend this restaurant! Read more
I was happy that I got to finally visit here and try the vegan griot. Overall, the food was very good and I enjoyed the vegan... griot and thought this was a creative dish to put on their menu. Furthermore, the chickpeas patty was very good. The only thingis the customer service could be a little better where guests feel more welcomed at the establishment, otherwise great food andnice ambience. Read more
If I can order everything on that menu I woulddd! I had the salmon burger and my friend had the mushroom sandwich and it was so... so good. I couldn’t even tell if it was chicken or mushroom. There was so much flavor, your test but are definitely gonna bethanking you. If your an rush/and it’s busy definitely order head. Outside seating is available also Read more
I ordered a ginger pineapple juice which was ok. I also ordered vegan plantain porridge, vegan coconut chickpea crepe and fried... mushroom sandwich. The porridge was as expected. The crepe was bland and I received a chicken sandwich instead of the mushroomwhich was extremely disappointing. I spent $49 and wasn’t able to at least eat everything. Read more
Great breakfast and brunch spot, looks like there’s some good weekend brunch specials too, will def check out next time. Food... is made with love. Fried chicken sandwich was amazing, well seasoned. Also comes with side of sweet plantains which were cookedto perfection. Side salad ok, love the pikliz. Quite a few sandwiches to choose from. Egg fromage crepe was a yummy,egg/cheese/spinach/onion omelette packed with flavor. Sweet crepes and savory patties also available. Latte and cappuccino wason point. Love the art and vibes, playlist with a mix of soca and early 2000s hip hop was music to my ears. Felt like home. Fewoutdoor seating tables also available. Read more
Compared to authentic Haitian restaurants in Canarsie or Miami this place fell short. The flavors are really good just not... authentic. The patties and smoothies are really good. 100% recommend for vegans. Read more
Delicious spinach patty and the best soup joumou. Mèsi The ginger lime aid is awesome as well. They have a great selection of... cultural books, and art displayed on the wall. They accommodate their customers with out door seating, which makes it a petfriendly place. They had my favorite cookie: chocolate chip…and it was soft. Vegan options are so accommodating. Read more
