The Vegan Cheese Lady Cafe — Restaurant in Lafayette

I first came in after I saw earlier in the day that they had a pesto panini. I came in asking about it then was told “No, the list is shortened because of my knee” by the lady worker but she’s gonna have to get up and make the food no matter what so it just didn’t add up. I didn’t say anything even though the pesto panini was a new item on their menu they had posted up on every table. Not sure why you would post it as a new item on the menu if you aren’t serving it but whatever. Anyways, I decided to get the crunchy wrap because I was hungry and I had walked to the place. As she makes me food the entire time both her and him are on a call on speaker with their friend. Eventually I get my food and I start eating it and it is cold in the middle. Unsure if the meat was done I asked them if they could warm it up or something so it’s not cold in the middle, also hoping the meat inside was fully cooked so I don’t get food poisoning or get sick etc. The lady then tells the guy the grab my plate and warm it up for me and says to me “sorry the ingredients were in the fridge”. Then after the man grabs my plate he puts it in the microwave…honestly should have left right then and there. The lady was on her phone the entire time. After my food is done heating up he brings it over to me with my wrap on a separate plate. The silverware and plates and just dish-ware all together looked like something anyone would just have in there home, the plates were all different not professional AT ALL. Then when it came to paying they only charged $10:30 and the drink was on the house because my food was cold in the middle?! The whole meal should’ve been on the house. Just very dissatisfied and disappointed in this place it was very...

What an incredible little place! It is 100% cozy, warm, and comforting. As soon as I walked in my plans to get carryout evaporated immediately and I found myself sitting at the bar. The owner was so sweet, she answered all my questions, gave great recommendations, and explained how she sources a lot of ingredients from her own garden! I love it!

The food was also amazing! I had the veggie pesto wrap and it was so tasty, just the right amount onto crunchy, creamy, salty!!! All the things haha. Cooked to perfection! I also finished it off with amazing homemade blackberry ice cream!

I left with a large assortment of her cheeses as well as the cheese platter appetizer to take home and share with friends and family since I don't go to Lafayette often. My bill was large only because i got 4 pounds of cheese plus the food but just the food with drink and dessert was about 20 dollars, and I left very full!

If you are hungry and need good food...

The Vegan Cheese Lady Cafe is a gem in Lafayette! Julianne makes all of her delicious cheeses and vegan meats from scratch — no processed burger patties in sight — a refreshing change of pace from the typical “vegan option” at most restaurants. The cheese platter is beautifully presented and a delicious snack in its own right as a starter to your meal. The Reuben is also a favorite! Oh and don’t forget to pair your meal with a local beer or one of the delicious ice tea options. The cafe itself, in the heart of downtown Lafayette, is cozy and charming, featuring exposed brick and a rotating gallery of local art. The proprietors are friendly and welcoming. It’s great to have this amazing spot right...
