The Rouge Rabbit
8550 United Plaza Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in a quiet business district, this cozy breakfast and lunch spot welcomes both office workers and curious visitors with genuinely warm hospitality and baristas like Lynsie who clearly take pride in their craft. The kitchen shines when they're on point, serving up beautifully plated dishes alongside solid traditional coffee drinks, though consistency seems to be a work in progress. It's the kind of place where you'll linger over a pastry and espresso, feeling the difference between a chain and a spot where people actually care.”

A very cozy breakfast and lunch spot, especially convenient if you work in the attached office building. Good food and coffee, a relaxed atmosphere, and such nice people. Lynsie is an excellent barista and so friendly!
Went in and was nicely greeted by everyone and was served by very nice staff and the food? Between the presentation and taste im blown away. Amazing.
Just wanted to check out a new spot to get breakfast. Thanks to google, I found this little gem. It's nestled in a business area, assuming to cater to the goers and comers of the surrounding offices. It's a little weird that there's a food pickup window but no door to the kitchen. The employees have to go outside to go to the kitchen on the other side, but if that works for them, cool. This is also weird because it's a tad bit confusing which door is the entrance to the restaurant. Anyhow, everything else was pretty much what was expected. Average prices, check. Great atmosphere, check. Above average customer service, check. Variety menu, check. As for the food, I wasn't disappointed and thought the proportions were good, but not a fan of the pan sausage. And, while waiting, I did think it took a while, so relax when you come here, there's plenty of games to pass the time.
The food is okay. When I flipped my French toast over it was black on the other side. It didn’t taste burnt per say but it was definitely overcooked. The sausage was also basically what you could get at McDonalds. I won’t be back.
I’m not sure what to say at this point. I have eaten from here before and don’t remember the food being like this. The first picture is the Voodoo Chicken and as you can see the chicken is smaller than the sides for about 12$. The other picture is one of grilled chicken that is extremely hard. Not even chicken jerky for 12$ The last picture is of the red beans and rice. My coworker found a hair in her dish and immediately stopped eating it. She attempted to call the restaurant and got no answer on the first try and then got the voicemail on the second try. This will be the last time I will eat from Rouge Rabbit.
