Rising Loafer Cafe & Bakery

My wife and I love our meals here! The selections are great and the food is delicious. With all of the choices nearby this is our favorite. Homey, always easy to find a table, fast service and reasonable prices.

The food at this place was terrible. The staff was even worst. They were giving me strange looks and attitude once they heard my accent. The food simply made me sick, like it was sitting there for days before served.

Masks are loosely worn in the kitchen, which has questionable cleanliness. Food is "ok", however it's not clear what is organic and what is not.
I'm not a fan of the assumptions the owner makes in the reply related to political issues. This review is about the lack of care given to customers in the context of this restaurant ONLY.

Their scones and muffins are made locally and they are just great, fresh and with such a good smell. Loved the blueberry scone and the banana muffin.

I worked at the Rising Loafer Cafe during my senior year of high school, and it was such a wonderful experience. I was a customer before I became an employee, so I've been on both sides of the scene, and I can say that Maria and Achmed's dedication to locally sourced food, friendly service, and environmentally conscious materials is sincere. Their commitment and passion are what makes the Rising Loafer such a unique and wonderful part of Lafayette. Working here and eating here is like being a part of a family - Maria and Achmed treated me with nothing but kindness and love, and to this day my dad

We have been here a few times before today. 9 year old is a fan of the french toast (made with fresh baked cinnamon and raisin). The grilled chicken and avocado club sandwich on fresh baked garden and herb bread is kind of the best thing we have had, especially after working up an appetite walking the nearby reservoir. We have decided to make Rising Loafer our go to family Sunday lunch spot. Had a moment to speak to owners. Lovely people. They told us they had been in business for 20 years. Here is hoping we can enjoy them for 20 more.

We stumbled upon this restaurant and are glad we did! Turns out they bake their bread daily, and even roast turkey everyday. Wonderful couple runs the place and really go the extra mile to make sure you are happy. Turns out, everything about the restaurant is green and sustainable, from food scraps to compost, to rainwater or recycled water for the garden out back. This independent restaurant is a true find and one we will go back to!

Crepes! Breakfast crepes, savory crepes, dessert crepes, all delicious. Greek crepe is particularly recommended. The staff is also extremely friendly, and there is a small outdoors seating area perfect for a quiet lunch.

Great breakfast at this very welcoming cafe. We shared an egg scramble and a large bowl of very fresh fruit and fine coffee. The owners are very attentive and their hospitality is evident in every aspect of their food preparation and service. We look forward to returning here soon for another meal.
