I don't recall how I first discovered the paradise that is Vitamins Plus in Drug Emporium, but I do…read moreknow that, over the years that I have been a loyal patron, the department has grown to encompass a good third of the store. Hooray for that! Vitamins Plus offers healthy items like tea, supplements, food & bath products at a very reasonable price. I have done price comparisons & VP has won out almost every single time. Another plus about this place is that, if they don't carry something, you can make a request & they will order it for you, then begin carrying it in perpetuity! It's also conveniently located near my apartment, which is a definite bonus. On the other hand, the staff is what you would expect of a part-time, minimum-wage staff in retail. Therefore, if you're looking for guidance, your best bet is to do your own research because customer service is a bit of a crap shoot. Additionally, plan to have cash, check or debit card handy for payment, since credit cards are not accepted at this establishment. All in all, I'm happy with Vitamins Plus. I have recommended - & will continue to recommend - these guys to people who are interested in the crunchy granola lifestyle without too much pain inflicted on the ole' wallet.

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!

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.

Everything except their baguettes, which come from Dong Phuong, the world famous bakery and restaurant in New Orleans, renowned for their baguettes and king cake.

The prices are great for what you get too. Don't forget to top off your meal with a delicious beverage. Some of the most fragrant and herballicious Thai tea around! They even have one infused with coconut. I think it's called the panda. Everything is nice and clean, including the bathrooms. I highly recommend!
