I truly enjoyed the coffee. It is flavorful and robust, packs a nice wake me up punch. I drank it black with the chocolate croissant. Wanted to taste the almond croissant but none were available, So I guess I will have to go back before 11:30 a.m
I don't give out 5-star reviews lightly. They are few and far between. But the first time I walked into Louverture, just two nights ago, I instantly felt the warmness and the love radiating from it. The cafe literally called to me, like the white light calling the protagonist in all those movies, except this light had fantastic tea selections, great (sounding) coffees, and delightful pastries (even vegan ones) and foods, most of which are derived from Haitian culture – like Soup JouMou. While I didn't buy anything right then (had just picked up some take-out) I promised them I'd return (!), which I thankfully just did.
I opted for the Hurricane Island tea, coincidentally my baristas fave, and the Almond Chocolate Croissant. Both were spectacular, and I'm not a fan of chocolate in my pastries. The atmosphere was still on point, nice and relaxing, and open. The place isn't big, but does have outdoor seating which appears to be very relaxing. They also have nice music playing, as well as the TV at times. Even nicer are all the artistic pieces they have up.
I met one of the owners on both visits and he enthusiastically was greeting customers – of which there were a bunch – as they stepped in and out. The staff is also well trained and nice and well deserving of tips. Also, free wi-fi.
I usually prefer to have breakfast at home, but this may be my new spot!
