This is the Edwin Edwards, a broccoli and Swiss soup.

I'd always meant to stop at the little local place on the square, near the Bowie Oak. I'm so glad I finally did. It's tiny and charming, and has the most friendly and helpful owner, Ms. Wanda! Back in Time sort of combines an antique and collectible shop with a cafe! It's cozy and easy to like. It's a great place to stop at if you are passing through as it's right on US Highway 190 West right on the south side of the courthouse square. The menu is something to explore. It has a wide variety of soups, salads, and wraps all of which have interesting names. Some are named after local historic figures, others have names associated with famous persons or movie stars. All of them are tasty and vary from the light to the fully filling. The salad offerings also go from the small to the whole meal variety. This is one of those great little home town places that one just has to experience to understand. You'll find yourself stopping there next time you pass through.

I was in the area for other things, had lunch elsewhere and decided to stop in here for dessert. Got the chocolate pecan pie and it was wonderful. Service was friendly.

Might not look like much but it's fantastic.

Wanda and Caroline are fantastic people and even served me even though they were closing. Exactly the atmosphere and kindness you expect with a small town southern cafe. Muffelata was great actually and big. I've been around and from Nola. It's good and fresh. Had the corn crab soup. That needs some more seasoning and love but it was ok. The bread pudding was awesome. Worth the bloated ness I get from it. One of the top for me. Will definitely come back to try their famous salad and have a conversation.

Fantastic food...Miss Wanda the owner is very gracious and the cook does a fantastic job accommodating dietary needs...love their salads and cream cheese brownies!

Italian iced tea

This is an experience! The staff are exceptionally kind and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the Italian iced tea. That was definitely a Louisiana treat that should be everywhere.

Awesome lol cafe in Opelousas. Road trip to pick up our new doxle in Alexandria.

Charming. Friendly folks. Best muffuletta we ever had and we're from New Orleans! Across the street from the courthouse. Quirky but right.
