Rising Loafer Cafe & Bakery

Great place to eat! We eat here pretty often and the food and service is amazing! Will always speak highly of this restaurant!

Rising Loafer is Lafayette's best kept secret. Owned by a super nice husband & wife team, the restaurant focuses on good service, decent fare, comfortable environment, and all done with an eye toward sustainability. I recommend the really great bacon and egg crepe, or one of the omelettes. There's a reason why regulars keep going back.

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.

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!
