"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."

"I stopped into this restaurant for dinner! When I arrived I parked right in front of the restaurant. I walked into a cute cafe. I was greeted and sat and we ordered: Barancourt Flight Fatiman's Reve Haitian Fried Chicken Kreyol Shrimp Chocolate Chip Cake The food and drinks were delicious! The chicken was my favorite! Everything was so flavorful! All in all I had a great experience!"

"Visiting New York for the first time in years. I had the mushroom sandwich and a cappuccino, and both were incredible. The sandwich was massive, crispy, and packed with flavor. Easily one of the best plant-based sandwiches I’ve had. It came with plantain chips, a kale salad, and spicy pickled veggies that added a perfect kick. The space is small but definitely has a community feel. While I was eating at the window bar, a woman sat down next to me and said, “I know you’re enjoying that sandwich” because she had it the week before. That kind of energy says a lot. I’ll absolutely come back."
