Java Square Cafe — Restaurant in Opelousas

I was visiting my boyfriend in Opelousas and was craving a good cup of coffee so I did a google search and found this little GEM. You guys run to this place!!!!! Not only was the coffee just the right temp, but the taste was amazing and the texture was as smooth as silk. Omg and the home made fresh baked scones were delicious!!!! Oh yea and not to mention I asked for an actual coffee mug and wouldn't you know it they came through. I don't know about y'all but there's something to be said about having a great cup of coffee in an actual mug and not a to go cup. It gives me all the warm and fuzzy's and brings me back. Many times, I've gone to coffee shops where the coffee taste burnt and the snacks are not good. This place had some of the best coffee I've had in a long time. And you guys the atmosphere was so cool!!!! The building the shop is in was originally constructed in 1928 by Parish Bank & Trust. They actually kept some of the original construction so it makes it for interesting conversation and a great chill vibe. If you find yourself traveling through Opelousas or even live here and haven't been by Java Square you're definitely missing out. Stop by and ask for Carson he'll make you the best cup of coffee ever. You won't be...

This coffee spot has so much potential. We stopped in for morning coffee and snacks on a road trip. The historic character of the building is wonderful. It looks to have been renovated from an old bank, with a gorgeous safe door, terrazo floors, and period windows. Extremely comfortable couches and the most gorgeous bar stools for seating at the large front bay windows.

However, the service was very slow. We spent about 30 minutes waiting for a single latte, a bottle of juice, and a pastry from the box. This was on a Friday morning, and the location was not too busy. The staff were so kind, however, answering our questions and interacting with our kiddo.

Finally, my coffee order came out incorrect (iced instead of hot). The staff was very apologetic and offered to fix it, but we had to scoot and get beck on the road. The espresso itself tasted bitter and burnt (still drank it though, because caffeine is caffeine).

I don't know too much about thw coffee offerings in this town. But I can definitwly see this being THE place to go once they work...

Beautiful place, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious snacks or sandwiches, and they make you coffee, frap., Etc. just the way you want it. This is one of my favorite places in Opelousas. They also have a good reward system. It's definitely a place to go and relax, sip on your caramel frappuccino white chocolate topping, read your favorite book or listen to your favorite podcast, and eat you a delicious turkey and provolone cheese croissant. If you are passing through and want to stop for a few minutes to relax I definitely recommend this a spot to do so. They have information on some up and coming community events. They also have some beautiful art around the area. It's also a historical place it was once a bank and it still has that kind of vibe mixed with an update coffee shop,...
