Great coffees and espressos, friendly staff, vibrant atmosphere! Recommended!
This place is a great place for hangout, have a good coffee with your companions. Excellent coffee blends, delicious pastry..even though the menu is quite limited but cant complain with the coffee, services, atmosphere. Sitting inside can be limited but in a warm nice day its so amazing if you sit outside. Loved the place and now favorite place to hanging out with friends 😄😄😄
Wonderful atmosphere and the employees were always very nice! My husband and I went every morning while on vacation and the coffee was always good, not bitter. The pastries were also tasty without being too sweet (the blueberry lemon tiny bundt was delicious!!!). Would highly recommend to anyone visiting!
Great, cozy coffee spot in Lafayette. The Nola is such a refreshing pick me up! The staff is always friendly. Definitely worth stopping in.
Great local coffee shop. Either location, downtown or River Ranch, is the perfect spot to meet with family, hang with friends, meet for an interview, or go on a date. It’s nice to taste coffee brewed with care instead of what most shops offer, which is mostly burnt coffee to keep things consistent. They also have a small but tasty selection of food. If you’re looking for a younger vibe, check out the downtown location. If you’re into a mature crowd with more outdoor seating, the location at River Ranch is for you.
Had heard great things about it but was extremely disappointed. The espresso was extremely sour and acidic and made our cappuccino almost undrinkable. We also ordered a Palm Springs and it may have been one of the worst drinks I had ever had. The barista was very friendly but nice service cannot make up for the fact that we wasted our money on terrible product. Hopefully this was a one-off experience but not in a rush to try it again.
I had a white chocolate latte and a good morning twist which is sorta like a cinnamon bun,it was delicious! The waitress was extremely nice and helpful! I will be going back!
Great find, great lattes. It is less than 10 mins off the I-10 freeway. Easy to get to.
Dropped in this morning for a drip coffee. Was recommended this pumpkin bar. It being Thanksgiving weekend I took the baristas advice. Great piece of pumpkin pie? tart? I dont know exactly, but it reminded me of Thanksgiving, Christmas and home rolled into one dish. Definitely recommend!
Great, go-to coffee spot. The perfect balance of low key and high end. The menu is basic, but everything is over the top exceptional then is comes to taste and portion size. I love this place.
Love this Coffee shop! it was so cute and everyone working there was so friendly. Definitely will go again :)
Very friendly staff; great coffee hot or iced
Excellent environment and an equally excellent selection of coffee! The coffee is obviously similar to the location in downtown, but the gelato and the pastries definitely make it worth coming by! They have made recent renovations to the seating which broadened their capacity significantly to host more customers.
Great coffee. well crafted. you can tell they care.
Looking forward to unique drinks and delicious iced mocha drinks. Its a great Cafe and much appreciated considering the appalling abysmal internet in Ville Platte.
I work next door and come here almost every day. Always prompt, super friendly, and straight up delicious. I usually go nitro for the boost, but the nola and the pour overs are legit too. Overall best coffee shop Ive been to.
Love their coffee and the shop.
We enjoyed ourselves mightily. After the original owner of The Lab sold it to the local company named Rêve, we were of course a bit concerned. After all, The Lab was not any old coffee shop, but a particular and wonderful place all of its own. The first couple of years after the sale were a little shaky. But they seem to have really gotten their own back now, and from drinks to music, this evening was absolutely great.
Rich coffee. So good!!!
The staff were very helpful and friendly.
LOVE the lo-fi beats !! The coffee is good too !!
Its a nice place to go to on a windy and chilly evening. It has a very calm atmosphere, nice staff, and a simple menu. This is a place thats best enjoyed when youre with a friend or two. Seating inside can sometimes be limited due to there being a lot of people, but there are tables and benches outside that you can sit at. This is definitely a cool place.
Great coffee, but the rude service isnt worth it. Not going back.
Awesome coffee and decent outdoor seating.
Reve is awesome, definitely my favorite coffee place in Lafayette. The baristas are great, they have a good selection of music, and they make excellent coffee. You have a lot of good options for coffee in Lafayette, but my personal favorite is Reve
Everything was delicious and absolutely beautifully.
The Lab is amazing. My wife and I were visiting from Portland, and our friends shared this place with us. Not only did it have a Portland vibe, which made us feel like home, but the food and coffee were absolutely amazing. The owner and staff are cool and you can tell that they love their craft. It feels great to see this level of quality, and it was an amazing experience. We cant wait to go back to visit.
It’s a great place to go and hang out, drink good coffee, and do business. Lafayette seems to be growing in the right direction make it easy to enjoy. Love love and Lafayette!
LOVE this place. Coffee and espresso is absolutely on point and all of the pastry goods are delicious. Nothing beats their espresso cinnamon roll. Aesthetics in the place are great! Its tucked away in River Ranch and a nice area to meet with friends or get work done on your own.
Rêve roasts great coffee, and the coffee lab is definitely a shop for people who appreciate that. Its a nice place to have a cup and a chat. There is a parking lot over the street too, which is nice.
Excellent! This place knows coffee. The atmosphere is inspiring. Perfect place to start the day or to get away from the crazy world for a bit. I find the diversity of people refreshing. The staff is friendly and know what theyre doing. This friendliness is infectious! Blast off!
Love this place! Great coffee and cafe. Worth travelling to get to!
Such a cool spot. Awesome gelato and coffee. Feel good vibe!
As I lifted the ceramic cup to my parched mouth for the third time, I knew my life would never be the same. The featured espresso that day, an Ethiopian from 1000 Faces, was crafted so beautifully, with such care, as though this shot of espresso was the baristas very daughter. As I consumed this figurative heir, I sensed the innate sweetness amidst a flurry of intrinsic berry notes. Thank you for this awe-inspiring experience.
Great atmosphere and staff. Great place to chill and study. I ordered a Nola Iced Coffee with White Mocha and it was one of the best coffees I ever had.
Excellent coffee blends. Staff is welcoming. Could use more power outlets.
This is, by a large margin, the best coffee shop in Lafayette. The level of knowledge of the owner and staff far surpasses anything youll find at a national chain, as does the quality of the ingredients, the attention to detail, the decor and the customer service. If you like regular coffee, the pour-over at the lab is an absolute must-try. Its my go-to when I want to treat myself to a truly exceptional coffee experience. They also frequently offer gluten free pastries so good youd never guess they were gluten free, and some fanciful and inspired cold sweet creams that are a truly unique experience in Lafayette. If you havent been, go. You may pay a little more than chain coffee shop prices, but I assure you its worth every penny.
This place is right on my way to work, and I stopped in this morning for the first time, and was very pleasantly surprised. Very cool atmosphere, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and most importantly, delicious coffee. I highly recommend this place!
Getting coffee at Reve is an experience ... Great staff and even better coffee!
This little creamery place with speciality coffee and ice cream along with treats make it a great after dinner stop or a place for those looking for a sweet shop away from the usual hustle and bustle shops. The decor is inviting and invites you in with its old charm. A perfect place to relax, indulge, and unwind.
Excellent service and products with friendly cheerful staff. I love the atmosphere.
I love this place...always kind and helpful staff, always delicious coffee and pastries! Go there now!!!
Warm. Friendly. Best drip coffee in town, as well as all the fancy coffees youd expect
Nice little place to get a drink and catch up with a friend or get work done.
When I walked in, nobody greated me. I stood there and stood there and stood there while the guy behind the counter talked to his friend that was not ordering anything. Finally after they finished their conversation, the guy asked if he could help me. And to top it off, I was in a hurry! Its hard for me to believe that they have such a lack of customer service in a place like river ranch? Ive always went to the first one down town and I was happy to find out that they put one closer in town. The coffee was very good, thus the 3 star review. Its the only reason why I did not give them a 1 star review.
Super friendly staff. Good coffee and baked goods. Nice area to sit outside, dog friendly;)
A hidden gem of a modern coffee shop. Their cold creams are delicious, and they typically have a non-dairy option. The batistas are nice and willing to answer your questions. Bonus, the wifi is actually good.
Top place to grab a latte and indulge in a cake or pastry. Loved it all the way from 🇬🇧
A good place to drink some coffee and get work done. Expect a young college crowd.
Really great! Love the different teas and they have a very helpful staff, overall great experience!
Best coffee place around! Service is always fantastic and such a good vibe there.
Loved it. My husband and I were passing through and decided to stop. The coffee was so good, I got one to go.
Love this place! Coffee and service are incredibleThe Lab has so much meaning to my fiancé and I this is where I proposed! We met here, and we’ve spent a ton of time here since.We love drinking coffee with friends and spending time enjoying the patio in good weather. It’s a great place for coffee in lafayette!
The pastrys were delicious but the coffee was not up to price. It tasted like Folgers coffee.
L like shopping on line better prices. Always good. New site since my last purchase - love it!
Amazing beverages and atmosphere. The staff is equally great
Been coming back, but never realized I never updated to talk about the continuing of their beautifully crafted coffee.. and now their delicious bomb ass pastries!! Especially their boudin and bacon belly, its my favorite!!I hope they continue to make bomb ass pastries and delicious coffee!
Reve coffee is amazing. The staff was very helpful and suggested the Psycho coffee drink, whiich is two shots on top of half and half and Reve homemade vanilla Superb! 🙂 So delicious. My only problem was it was too small.....
Such a great little coffee place with a friendly staff.
The Lab is a great place to visit, for a little or a long while. My favorite spot is communal table. My single cup pour was very tasty. Will I return? With a resounding YES, I will!
Definitely the best espresso in town! Also delicious slow-pour coffees, great pastries, and gelato. Although their selection isnt as extensive as CCs or Starbucks, the quality BY FAR surpasses those two! I love the atmosphere and staff, too. This spot cant be beat :)
This is our go to place when we are in Lafayette. My son is in love with the pour over coffee.
Good muffins and ice cream, the coffee is good if you like it black as they do not have creme or milk.
Best coffee and service Ive had in a long time. The baristas were patient and friendly and very knowledgable about the products they sell. Also the coffee was beyond expectation. Great environment. Loved it!!
Great coffee and excellent gelato in a pleasant atmosphere with lots of natural light.
That “damn good coffee” with friends is delectable ‼️
Awesome atmosphere. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Huge varieties of tea and coffee.
I bought a latte to go today (very cold day. When I tried it, it was barely warm. Absolutely disappointing
Best coffee in town! They truly know how to make a cup of joe! Thomas is a great owner, keep up the work
Great coffee, wonderful service and solid location.
Cool place with good service and indoor and outdoor seating.
Good coffee, just a very limited menu.
Sadly it’s gone down hill since they took over the lab. It’s so hot inside and the service is so so slow. Such a bummer cause it used to be my favorite coffee shop in town.
When the Reve location downtown was closed on Sunday, we headed out to the Lab. Quick service, and the Nola iced coffee was quite good, rivaling top notch Nola Nola mixes.The pastries were good; the bacon and boudin sweet roll (or whatever it was) was surprisingly delicious. I mean, it had to be with all that and the rest thrown in.Only gripe: I think mason jars are kinda silly in restaurants and cafés, but maybe thats just me.
Love the cappuccino
Great coffee and cool spot to catch up with friends.
Delicious pastries and coffee, great atmosphere.
Neat little place, SUPER friendly staff, amazing coffee. Will definitely be a regular visitor when Im in town!
Great coffee, delicious GF zuchinni bread and the BEST gelato! Go get some! Go!!😉
Located in scenic River Ranch area.Super friendly staff and Delicious Matcha Latte!
Tasty pour over from a v60 and some sweet treats.
Excellent service! Friendly staff, & a great cup of coffee.
This place is one of the best ways to experience your coffee ... the coffee is beyond average, but above all this place creates a all together great coffee experience
