HAITIAN COCOA 🇭🇹🍫☕️🔥🔥🔥 - Edit
BROOOOOOOOOOOS
Read moreI GOTTTA come here n tell you about that Haitian spiced hot chocolate they see in up in here. It’s so FIREEEEEE. Talk about a remix on a classic.
Gonna be honest tho- the person that made my drink didn’t mix it completely so it may get rlly sugary/intense at the bottom. BUT IT AINT NO THANG- take that concentrate at the bottom home and mix it in w some milk or whatever in a pot, turn the stove on, let it simmer for a lil and baby u got a stew goin!

The wait time was cool. The food was good. Definitely check the whole restaurant out if you're in the New York area.

Delightful vegan brunch - Edit
We went there for brunch on a Saturday. The place was bright and friendly, and the food abundant and tasty. I had the Jerk Jack sandwich, which overflowed with jackfruit, curried chickpeas and onion confit on toast and served with a kale salad and plantain chips. I drank a Haitian spiced cocoa, which was vegan. My friend reported that his avocado-and-jackfruit toast was good, too. There were so many tempting options that we both want to return. Even late on a Saturday morning, it was easy to get a table.

Loved it! - Edit
I had a vegan meatball baguette and it was delicious! I also loved the vibe there, there were pretty paintings and great music! I definitely recommend Lakou Cafe(=^ェ^=)

Pretty Okay - Edit
With limited vegan options around me I was super excited to try Lakou, but that’s where my excitement ended. I was not crazy about the vegan plate I had, it was overly salted and tasteless otherwise. My boyfriend got a sandwich that was just okay. Def want to go back since it’s super cute and the menu _sounds_ amazing, maybe it was an off day😄

Amazing black owned restaurant - Edit
So many options. My favorite is the jackfruit chickpea curry sandwich. Also a big fan of their savory pastries and the vegan boulette made from impossible meat. They have a vegan chicken sandwich made from fried oyster mushrooms which is also really good but more for the people who like greasy foods!
