Crema's Take

“Lakou Cafe channels authentic Haitian cooking into bold, spice-forward dishes that actually deliver on flavor—the Kreyol Shrimp Plate and roast chicken sandwich are genuinely craveable, and even the vegan options punch above their weight. Beyond the food, their house-made spice blends and cocktails like the Cremas Noir show real craft, and the warm staff makes it feel like a genuine neighborhood gathering spot rather than just another Brooklyn brunch destination.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Love Lakou Cafe! The cocktails are amazing (we tried the cremas noir and they make their own spice blend in house ??) and the staff is so kind. Also had the Lakou Salmon burger and I’m gonna be thinking about it until I come back here. Very cute vibe, must try!

I went here on a Saturday night with a group of 11 people. Everyone LOVED the food - especially the mushroom sandwich. It seems like the sort of place that does a lot of takeout. We had to ask for things like water and silverware. The staff were all really friendly. I will…

Okay so I initially came because of their Infamous Haitian cashew brittle which is literally mouth-wateringly delicious. I also wind up getting the roast chicken sandwich which was absolutely and utterly the most tastiest thing I've had in a long time. The chicken was…
