East Simpson Coffee Company

Crema's Take
“This beloved Lafayette gathering spot has earned its loyal following with consistently excellent espresso-based drinks and thoughtful specialty beverages like their standout Italian sodas, all crafted by genuinely knowledgeable staff. Beyond the coffee, it's the generous seating—both indoors and around an inviting outdoor fireplace—that makes it perfect for lingering over work meetings or catching up with friends, while their accommodating food menu ensures everyone finds something, whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or have other dietary needs. There's a real sense of community here that regulars keep coming back for, where even the local mugs become conversation pieces.”

This has been my favorite coffee shop/place to hang out in Lafayette for many years now. The coffee and other drinks are splendid, there is PLENTY of seating, and the whole shop has a palpable community-focused feel, with local art displayed all around. The honey latte is a favorite— it’s very sweet, but lovely for a warm treat. The almond croissant is also DELICIOUS. Highly recommend to locals and visitors alike.
Always friendly and knowledgeable staff, Food offerings include something for everyone including vegan, vegetarian and GF & DF. This time I looked at the mugs and found a new friend, a beautiful work of art. Thank you for selling women's products that is what exactly what i want to spend my money on by supporting other women. Thank you Melony Sawyer for this beautiful piece. I will treasure. Namaste 💙🙏🏽🧘🏽♀️
There’s some good outdoor seating next to a fireplace. The Italian soda was excellent! It was sort of busy but worth it! Makes sense for a popular coffee shop.
I've been having coffee chats here with my business friends that live nearby and it's always been very enjoyable. The coffee is good. My usual latte with oat milk has been executed perfectly every time, and they even take the time to add cute little artwork on top with milk. The breakfast sandwiches are really good and hit the spot in the morning when I'm rushed for breakfast. The burritos look really good too. Highly enjoyable spot for chats over some coffee! I will definitely continue meeting people here!
My two girlfriends and I met here and sat at an outdoor table on a beautifully warm, breezy day. There weren’t a lot of other people there and they were scattered throughout the outdoor area. The employees were helpful and gracious. Two of us enjoyed and shared a chocolatey treat. I have yet to taste the coffee. I love the environment, the local art pieces and the general vibration. A dog lover, it’s cool that dogs are allowed and usually there are several, outdoors, creating a super friendly place to hang out. Inside, they sell beautiful greeting cards and other interesting things. This is a great place to meet friends, to people watch and to bring your laptop, sit by yourself and do your thing.
