Lakeview Brew Coffee Cafe

This is not a place I would recommend to eat. They have rat poop all over her food storage rooms, she lets her dogs run around in the restaurant when she closes, smokes cigarettes in there and a lot of other health violations going on. Im just surprised nobody has gotten sick yet. She probably deleted most of the bad reviews and she doesn’t know how to treat her employees.

I’m staying walking distance down the street. I decided to try it our since I’m new to the area. Everyone was very sweet and helpful. I got the mushroom, bacon, spinach omelette.

Recently went in for breakfast and was glad to see it wasn’t too crowded. I had one hour to spare for a nice breakfast with my daughter before a long work shift. We go to the counter to order, when I asked for a substitution on an order she could not figure out how to do it on the computer. I politely said, «can you just tell the cook»? Only then did she tell me they were slammed and that she could not talk to the cooks. She also told me it would take 45min to an hour to get our food because they had too many to go orders. We left with out eating and in disbelief. My main gripe is that we never would have known it was going to take that long if it wasn’t for my inquiry. Very disappointing .Not run very well.

Had the chop salad and the chicken caesar salad. OK. The avocado salad looked really good. Will order that one next time. Service was excellent.

Def a New Orleans gem! Great food, friendly staff, indoor and outdoor seating depending on the weather. Homemade biscuits, croissants and pastries are to die for! A daily stop for me!

Love this place. Sara was working up front and she is awesome. She knows half the customers by name if not more. I have been here 5 times or so to eat and its always perfect. A couple times someone else was working and the service was great as well.

Recent visit reminded me why I don’t eat here as often as I did over the past 7 years. The owner berates you if you complain or have a need to send food back to the kitchen. One of the service staff can be very rude and unfriendly at times. The food is good and freshly prepared; coffee is good but always cold. Takes a while to order and receive food. But, overall a nice café and coffee shop.

The food is excellent. Most of the staff is awesome. More of a café than a coffee shop. Can’t really linger here.

Quirky woman at the register always makes me laugh. Pancakes were cold, but tasted good. Seemed a little under staffed. Still has a lot of charm and a good local joint with good food.

Recent breakfast visit. Ordered simple pancakes with bacon. They were good, and the bacon was crispy and not greasy, just right. Mushroom/​cheese omelet was just OK; latte strong and flavorful. At this place service can be hit or miss, but overall it’s a solid neighborhood coffee shop. Indoor and outdoor seating.

FYI kitchen closes 30 minutes before posted close time. Just such an awkward place. Good food… get through the order process, items to your table, and than you’ll be fine.

This is your basic café. They have a ton of different coffees, a variety of breakfast options (a la cart & meals) & lunch items (sandwiches & other stuff), side items (pasta salad, potato salad, etc.), a cold fridge with homemade pies by the slice or whole & plenty of other dessert options, bottled juices & fountain soft drinks. They have inside seating, as well as COVERED outside seating. I also saw people with their dogs outside — It’s always a plus if you can bring your pup along! The place was clean and friendly, but it did take longer than usual to make our order, a basic club sandwich and a Reuben. The food was good, we liked the atmosphere, they also sell art and we did just move to the neighborhood! That said, we will be back!

Ok, so the unpleasant clerk I previously mentioned in my earlier review was not here today, although I am unsure if she is still employed here. I came back as part of my new years resolution to attempt to visit places that I had not liked before.
The service today was quick, and the clerk was very pleasant. I had the Greek omelet. The omelet was quite delicious, and a perfect choice! I was hoping for lunch, but they still serve breakfast at 10:30am. It was very quiet. This small café is very neat and clean.
I will come back!

Lakeview Brew Coffee Café has a wonderful selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. I go there often for lunch. I love the Lakeview Brew Avocado Sandwich. The soups are delicious and so is their potato salad. They have the best café’lattes and Italian Sodas.
Plus, the décor is lovely. The artwork is fun to look at!
The tables are very comfortable. Sometimes, I have met four friends there!
Also, the restaurant is immaculate.
Last, but not least, the owners and staff are very pleasant.

Lakeview Brew Coffee Café is a popular spot for the local cops, as I am sure they get a little discount or lagniappe with their orders. I usually only get coffee whenI go here as I love to support our local businesses. I’m not sure which coffee they use, but it’s always fresh and it’s always hot, so enough about that.
The café is actually a cool place to hang out, although I am not sure if they offer free wi-​fi. The place is extremely clean and the walls are decorated with art from some of the local area artists; all of which have a price tag and are for sale.
There is seating for approximately 34 people inside and there is also a covered patio out back with additional seating for approximately 28 people.
I’ve only eaten here twice and can’t even recall what I had the first time. However, on my last visit, my wife got the shrimp bisque. This was definitely mediocre at best. It had a decent flavor, but it was too thick for a bisque and it was served lukewarm at best. I’s like to taste it with a little less thickeners (corn starch perhaps) and at the right temperature.
I had the gumbo (full bowl) and a half of sandwich. The gumbo was served appropriately at the right temperature and had a decent flavor. However, it was a little thin in consistency and could have used a little more roux to thicken it up a bit. Again, just ok in my opinion. My shrimp salad sandwich, on the other hand, was the best part of this meal. The multi-​grain bread was fresh and perfectly toasted, and the shrimp salad was seasoned how I like it, which is spicy. The serving size was more than ample and there were plenty of shrimp in it.
This place is borderline 2.5 stars in my opinion, as it is just ok, and not A-​ok. However, the restaurant was so clean (including the bathroom) and the wait staff was so nice, that I will go with the 3 star rating. For the value, this place is a little pricey for me, and I think I’ll just stick with the coffee next time.

I like everything here but it is overpriced, I go often, about 2 times a week and I see the owner sitting in the dining room going over her books. I got the blue eyes tea, a piece of quiche and a side of potato salad and spent almost $ 20 after tip. I love it but I just can’t afford it anymore.

Great menu– this place has become a lakeview staple for my family! The biscuits on the grill are incredible and the sandwiches are always fresh!

Cute little coffee café. Stopped in here for an iced coffee and it was good and inexpensive. Kind of odd that they serve coffee in styrofoam cups, though. They also serve food and they seem to have a pretty extensive menu of breakfast items as well as sandwiches. While I didn’t order food, I noticed that the man sitting next to me waited at least 15 minutes for his breakfast, which was eggs and grits. Odd that something so simple would take that long, especially since there were two other people in there.
Cute local art on the wall for sale. Wouldn’t go out of my way to stop here, but if you are in the area it gets the job done.

Definitely… average.
Prices are ok. Food is ok. Atmosphere is quaint, suitable, and enjoyable though.
I ordered the special Chipotle chicken sandwich combo with a side (potato salad, chips, or salad) and drink for $ 11.99. This was not definitely bang for the buck and had the food been more amazing, I could justify the price. But with smaller than average size serving for a slightly heftier price, you gotta impress me with the food.
However, if you want a place to study, despite the small tables, it may fit that criteria.

Quaint little café. Decent menu. Good prices. Order at the counter and sit and wait. And wait. And wait. Service is horribly SLOW!
Each time I’ve ordered breakfast sandwiches they quote 25−30minutes, and they are right! They are never very busy so I’m not sure why food takes so long.
Other than the wait, I like the place.
