I was very disappointed with this place. My friend and I traveled from Queens to celebrate her birthday here due to the good reviews and interminable menu. Upon entry you are not greeted with a friendly cashier, she is quite the opposite. My friend and I have never tried Haitian food and had a few questions about the menu. The girl was nasty and rude, responding with one word answers. Not very helpful... There is no waitress service, even though they only have 3 tables in total.. So we had to get up and order everything ourselves. I told my friend I hope the food isn't as bad as the attitude, especially since we spent $70... What killed me was that all the dishes were served in tupperware co...
I only have good things to say about this place, everything ive tried has been delicious!! The fried mushroom sandwhich is legendary. The pikliz are fantastic I want to eat it with everything. The power punch smoothie might just be the best peanut butter smoothie I have ever had, the balance of flavor is impeccable. the ginger limeade/pineapple drink (I forget what its called my b) I could drink like water its like basically the elixir of life its damn good. Chickpea puff pastry classic simple cant go wrong. Im so happy I live down the street from this place *tears of joy*
I was looking forward to trying Lakou as there are not many vegan options in the area, but unfortunately my excitement quickly faded. The vegan plate I ordered was too salty and lacked flavor. My boyfriend's sandwich was just average. Despite this, I would be willing to give it another try as the restaurant is charming and the menu looks promising. It's possible that we just caught them on an off day.
As a 1st time customer, I must say I'm truly impressed with the Seared Herb Salmon Filet meal! The salmon was cooked perfectly, the white rice was delicious and the black bean sauce was a great addition to this meal! I can't wait to order this meal again from Lakou Cafe!

The food is fresh, delicious and nicely portioned. I really enjoyed the fried oyster mushroom burger. Great combination of flavors. Today was my first time ordering and I look forward to trying other menu items.
I recently tried the vegan meatball baguette at Lakou Cafe and it was absolutely delicious! The ambiance was also fantastic, with beautiful paintings and great music playing. I highly recommend this place!
Really excellent, the fried oyster mushrooms are crisp and thick, sandwich was flavorful, and I loved the cut of the plantain chips. The ginger pineapple juice was also great.
This restaurant is very cozy and they have a nice selection of vegan options. I highly recommend trying the PB&G crepe.
