I've been so sad lately to not have seen him and the vibe has just not been the same. I can't really explain it but it just feels "off" in there and not as welcoming or as friendly.

My fiance and I got the New Orleans which was spiced well, it was a little too spicy at first but as it melted it was perfect. We sat at the big bar in the front and people watched for a while. It also looks to be a quiet work / study spot. The employees were friendly and helpful.

We got some cocktails and they were the delicious. As this place is also a cafe, the espresso martini was perfect! I love the aesthetic of the outside and inside. It's always so cozy and nice.

It would not have been a success without, of course, the gorgeous and functional space ... but most importantly because of the staff and event planner, Denise. You can truly leave everything in her hands and your expectations will be exceeded! I had to plan the event from out of town and simply couldn't have done it without Denise. We all know location is important, but it's the staff of Warehouse 535 that make this place specular. Only wished I lived in Lafayette to check it out more! Highly recommended for company / organization events!!

The food was okay, but it wasn't anything that would make me rush back. My coworker recommended…read morethis place to me. I ordered the Co-op Burger, which came on a house-made sweet potato bun that was actually really good. The Angus beef patty was cooked well done, just how I like it. It also came with lettuce, mustard, house ketchup, and basil mayo. Personally, I could've done without the house ketchup and would've preferred regular ketchup. The basil mayo was not a good match, I think regular mayo would have complemented the burger much better. I also asked to leave off the pickles and red onion. I added an over-hard egg, which was cooked perfectly. On the side, I ordered the yogurt, but unfortunately, I couldn't eat it. It tasted like spoiled sour cream, so that was definitely a disappointment. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, although the seating area felt a little too cramped. It was lunchtime, so I understand that it was busy. One thing I didn't like was the lack of any signs directing customers with call-in or online orders. It wasn't clear where those orders should be picked up. I ended up standing by the cooler, which put me in the walkway of food being delivered and the cooler for beverages. I was also concerned about the food handling. The employee bringing out food and drinks kept playing with her hair because it was constantly falling in her face, then continued handling customers' orders. The person making the coffee also had her hair down. In my opinion, anyone preparing or serving food should have their hair secured and wear gloves when appropriate. Parking was probably the biggest inconvenience. Nearly every surrounding business has signs stating "Parking for customers only," which makes finding a place to park difficult.

As someone who recently relocated from California, one of the biggest challenges has been finding…read morevegan options in Lafayette. Then I discovered Five Mile Eatery, and it has quickly become one of my favorite places in town. I am absolutely addicted to their vegan Caesar salad. It's fresh, flavorful, satisfying, and proof that vegan food can be anything but boring. The menu is thoughtfully crafted with organic, seasonal ingredients, and it's refreshing to find a place that truly caters to plant-based eaters. I know some people comment on the prices, but organic, high-quality ingredients cost more, and that's something many people don't realize. Personally, I don't mind paying a little extra for healthy choices and food made with quality ingredients. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is welcoming, the desserts are excellent, and the staff always make me feel at home. If you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply looking for a healthier meal option, Five Mile Eatery is a gem. Lafayette is lucky to have it!

Upon entry the staff was very friendly & order was quick even during the busy lunch hour. I ordered the half sandwich & soup (club Lola w/ chicken tortilla soup). The sandwich was toasted with crispy bacon. My soup warm a big serving that had a lot to enjoy later at home. I only the soup was a bit more flavorful with a few spices or even corn added to take it up a bit. The broth just tasted tomatoey (.. if that makes sense lol!) Clean inside dining & nice outside picnic tables to sit on. Also, in the same complex as shopping boutiques for a nice stroll. Overall, great experience that I want to come back & try more of their menu. **Note: they're only open M-F 10:30A-2P

The food was mid-level, but I was told it had changed recently. I'll also note that I visited on Ash Wednesday, and I could not eat meat. There were plenty of vegetarian and seafood options for me. The music was nice, not too loud or too quiet. The tables and overall dining room was neat and clean.
