Réveille Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Lafayette

Once a latte gets above five bucks something happens, expectations! Single origin, hand made syrups, divine blend of balance bitter notes and creamy sweet flavors, those are the established mainstream essentials for any spot aspiring to be better than Dunkin! I have twice enjoyed the inspired space here getting me far away from the dull Midwest, a huge menu boasting all sorts, plenty to pick from with fan favorites and seasonal picks, espresso seemed decently roasted and matches with the basic white girl vibes however the pricing is entirely optimistic.

In addition, their menu photos on Google lists croissants and pain au chocolat, so we thought we'd found out Lafayette trip breakfast place! The exterior is gorgeous and the interior is adorable. Unfortunately, that isn't why we visited. On the day we were there, they had absolutely no pastries, only donuts. The staff member was not personable. When we asked about croissants, he just said "no, we only have donuts", so we left in search of a place that had both coffee and croissants. A shame, because their coffee smelled great, but we...
