I come to this Cafe often. So much flavor, deliciousness, and options. 

The food is fresh, delicious and nicely portioned. I really enjoyed the fried oyster mushroom burger. Great combination of flavors. Today was my first time ordering and I look forward to trying other menu items. 

As a 1st time customer, I must say I'm truly impressed with the Seared Herb Salmon Filet meal! The salmon was cooked perfectly, the white rice was delicious and the black bean sauce was a great addition to this meal! I can't wait to order this meal again from Lakou Cafe!

The squash tasted stale and the salmon was over cooked. It must have been an off day! The vegan cake and sugar cookie were delicious!

Most flavorful food ever! We enjoyed each dish so much--highly recommend the Sos Pwa, any plate, and the haitian peanut butter cookie!
