Okay! I'm not the biggest coffee connoisseur, but I would say I'm the pickiest. I hate watery lattes and I hate that artificial sweetener flavor or when all you taste is the syrup...what I do love is a creamy latte where you can taste the espresso, but also the right amount of sweetness. I haven't found many standout places. Until today! I'm visiting Lafayette and after a quick search, found Reve. I ordered a medium caramel and vanilla iced latte and added cold foam. I don't know any details of how anything was made, but it was so perfect. I'm a chronic never finisher of coffee, but I had to slow myself down to keep from finishing it within a couple minutes. The cold foam wasn't sweetened, which worried me, but after swirling it all together, it was just the perfect latte. The syrups didn't have any of the ickyness you sometimes find (maybe they're house made? I didn't ask) and the cold foam made for the most perfect consistency. I'm no coffee purist, but if you like a yummy drink that I don't think was over the top sweet, this was an amazing order! I'll be missing this latte If someone knows of a place similar in Louisville, KY, let a girl know read more

The espresso in both of the cortado's had sour espresso brews. The espresso flavor (supposed to be smooth and strong) was very weak, tasted more like coffee (watery). Pastry's were ok. read more

Rêve is my go to coffee spot in Lafayette. The seasonal drinks are so unique and tasty, but also a good ol cappuccino taste great too. The food is hearty and flavorful if you're looking for a snack with your coffee or a quick bite on the go. Everyone is friendly at the location and the seating area is comfy and spacious. read more

Great place, plenty of seating areas to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. It does get pretty crowded in the early hours but clears out as people head out to work. Still enjoyed the vibe there though. And their light breakfast is pretty spot on. read more

Great place to get coffee and Matcha. It's also a nice place to study with a decent amount of seating. Very friendly service and the Matcha latte that I got was tasty. I'd come back. read more

Nice hipster coffee shop in downtown Lafayette. We came here on a rainy day and luckily found parking on the street nearby. The interior was spacious, and the ambiance was relaxing. I enjoyed the dark chocolate latte. Their price is also very reasonable for a small coffee shop these days. read more

This place was great!!! I was headed back to Houston and decided I needed some great coffee and a bite to eat, to fuel my drive. This was a great choice. I ordered the NOLA coffee w/vanilla (which apparently is house-made by the way ), with the help of the nicest worker at the register. He made really great suggestions and was very patient while I spent forever deciding on what I wanted lol. I also ordered the Roasted Veggie and Bacon croissant, which, omg, is the best breakfast pastry I've eaten in a longggggg time. It was absolutely delicious, with broccoli, onions, bacon and a layer of whipped cheese on the bottom. I would go there for that everyday. The space is bright and large, with indoor and outdoor seating and the decor is simple and clean. I'll definitely go back if in the area. read more

Modern and very hipster coffee spot in downtown Lafayette. Parking is a bit of a hassle if you don't want to pay for street parking; there's a bit of free parking on W Cypress but spots are pretty limited and it's also on the north end of downtown. Coffee was reasonably priced for 2023/2024 and tastes fine to me. Plenty of seating inside with street views. read more

My only critique is the barista was extremely slow. They had a great Ethiopian single origin pour over coffee. I would love to say that they were friendly, but they really weren't. They were kind of put out when I ordered a pour over coffee, which I understand they can be time-consuming however don't offer pour over coffees if that's the case it wasn't as good as Onyx Coffee but for Louisiana this was a very good option. read more

An amazing coffee shop! I was passing through Lafayette and I walked into this coffee shop and was greeted with the smiling faces of Beth and Sonya! Ordered an iced caramel latte with a cold foam and a blueberry bagel and it was made to perfection by Allen! Love the ambiance of this shop. read more

This is easily my favorite spot for coffee when visiting family in Lafayette. The coffee speaks for itself - it's probably the only place to get a Cortado. They expanded since the last time I visited - there's a lot more seating, including some comfy chair/couches to sit on for a chat. read more

We love this place and stop by every trip to Lafayette! My kids love the affogato--espresso and ice cream are a young man's dream!! Great coffee, love the eclectic coffee shop! read more

A fantastic experience. We called ahead to make sure the chai was brewed and not a boxed concentrate. Easily the best chai I have ever been served! Definitely worth the extra time it takes to brew and serve. The barista was friendly and patient with us as first time customers and provided a requested recommendation. Our order included the pictured lattes and cheesecake as well as an affogatto. Each one was enjoyable and stood on their own. Our GPS did take us to the back of the building so we had to drive around a bit to find where we were, but enjoyed the indoor and outdoor seating options. Lots of tables and chairs for work or catching up with friends. We plan to be back! read more

Beautiful location & great working space. The cortado was well balanced, cappuccino was perfectly dry, and our latte was delicious. The sweet girl working the order station was overwhelmed by the busy morning, but she received an assist that moved things along. Would stop by again if we are in the area. read more

Just, yes. Go here. I got an iced caramel latte, the caramel is made in house and it's fantastic. The latte isn't overly sweet like most other places. The flavor is great. I also got a pumpkin cream cheese bundt and it's amazing, I had it slightly warmed. I could eat 20 of them. read more

Beautiful ambiance and overall luxe feeling experience. This location is my fave out of the 2 in Lafayette. Definitely opt for enjoying your beverage on site versus ordering to go. I especially appreciate their drinks coming in nice glassware. The appeal of an occasion to cheers and clink glasses is reason enough for a coffee date. My order recommendation is an iced lavender-vanilla coffee with whole milk. (A++ to staff & experience at both locations. This one is just my personal favorite.) read more

We were visiting the downtown area and walked in for a quick coffee. I ordered Santa's Hug since I'm a fan of chai tea and it sounded very unique. It is accurately named - a warm, spicy, sweet and comforting hug in a cup! The atmosphere of the shop is very modern and inviting with high ceilings, amazing natural lighting, and plenty of seating. A great place to hang! read more

Stopped for breakfast and coffee. Had a latte which was warm not hot. Also had the avocado toast which loaded with too much stuff. Made a huge mess with quinoa all over the place. Recommend you turn up the temp on your coffee and ditch all stuff on the avocado toast. Just make it avocado and toast. read more

I haven't been to the revamped location because I was gone all summer. The new ambiance is perfect and the service is excellent. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with my meal. I used to order the avocado toast multiple times a week because it was delicious, but I ordered it today and the quality went down. In fact, it appears to be a slightly different recipe, different bread, no hummus, added cucumbers (which I'm allergic to), and tomatoes instead of peppers. The bread was soggy, the egg wasn't cooked right, and the avocado spread lacked flavor. I likely won't order it again. The old recipe was much better... read more

Meh. Cashier guy was lost in his mind. Neither friendly or rude. Just performing basic functions. Do love the Nola chicory coffee. Pastries were bleh. Like too creamy. Too frosty. Too sweet. Just too much. King cake was a mess. I liked it. But just too much espresso lather, slather. I'd stop for coffee though. But pastries to go, no. Or just make sure the cashier packs napkins and everything is right side up. Parking hit or miss but generally felt comfy in that area of town. Some dude looking to save the earth from single use plastics was stationed outside. Tad I comfy, as I held my single use coffee cup. And he wishes you a REALLY GOOD DAY. read more

Great place for strong coffee :) I ordered a nitro and a GF chocolate banana muffin for my young one. My nitro was strong and super tasty. My daughter liked the muffin even though she said it was a tad dry. She's a kid, everything is critiqued! (I ate some of it. Not dry! Lol) The atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy. A good bit of tables to bring your school or work items. We'll def come back. read more

Would drive out of my way for this coffee. Extremely knowledgeable & kind baristas who answered all of our questions. We wound up buying three bags. I got an oat milk latte with 1/2 amount of usual flavor (hazelnut) and loved my drink. Perfect blend of coffee, milk & flavor. My husband got a pour over (Brazil) and was very pleased. Highly recommend also for the atmosphere & location. So happy we stopped by! read more

I had a weekend trip with a couple of my girl friends to Lafayette. Before our drive back home we decided to stop at the Rêve Coffee Lab. This was the best decision we made! I got an iced chai tea and a turkey and swiss croissant. The iced chai tea was perfect and was just what I needed before I had to drive home! The turkey swiss croissant was warm and cured my hunger as well! The employees were so kind and patient with us. I felt very welcomed. The place itself gives off a comforting vibe with the darkish green walls. The people there looked just as comfortable as I felt. I saw one guy asleep with a magazine on his chest, another on a work call, and some other people that looked like friends catching up after a long weekend. Although coffee may not be for everyone, Rêve Coffee Lab offers a variety of food and drinks just for you! read more

Absolutely the best coffee shop I have been to in Louisiana. Located in wonderful neighborhood. They have an outside and inside area. Finally I found a standardized coffee bags with the full descriptions: region, flavor, height and others. Its really important to do if you sell beans by the bags to a coffee lovers. Coffee from Kenia was represented, which is one my favorite to pour. Delicious bakery they have pairs very well with the coffee. Amazing variety. read more

What a little gem of a place in Lafaytte! First of all it's an absolutely gorgeous space. Generally I don't think of shops having a personality. But this one does for sure. I felt happy and relaxed just being inside there. The service was excellent. I didn't feel rushed or like I was annoying the guy behind the counter with all of my questions. He made a few suggestions and offered to let me smell some of the teas to help me decide what to order, which just delighted my olfactory senses. I got a lavender cookie and a chocolate croissant and a wonderful cup of tea. All were delicious. Lovely place! Love it so much! read more

My first time to visit this place was yesterday...it was highly recommended by a friend that was visiting from out of town. Location: this coffee house nestled in a richly contemporary area that is surrounded by other independently-owned businesses (pilates studio, boutique bakery, townhomes, fine eats, etc.). It is a fairly large establishment with ample seating and work areas on the inside & outside. Menu: coffees, teas, ice cream, pastries I had the Cortado espresso ( which was served in a large shot glass...it was amazing!! I was told that it would be a strong serving of coffee and it was not as strong as I thought it would be. It went down like liquid silk!! There was nothing bitter about it...pure perfection! This place gets 5-star from me because it is wonderful in all aspects: lovely location, clean, stellar customer service, delicious menu items, does not feel chain-like, unique, contemporary, delectable brews...I was thoroughly impressed by it all! All aces from me!! I want to go back to Lafayette just to go back to this coffee house and spend the day there! read more

Excellent coffee house. We prefer local, had been to their downtown location a couple of times during Festival International, so were so pleased to see their was another location out near our hotel. We made two visits here over the weekend; cappucinos, lattes, and espressos all perfect. So appreciative of multiple GF options for my wife who is so often reduced to oatmeal or nothing, We tried both the walnut zucchini muffins and the lemon blueberry bundt, and both were delicious. No drive through, but very attractive indoor space. Good vibes matter at coffee houses, and Reve Coffee Lab most definitely has good vibes! read more
