Lakou Cafe is a casual vegan-friendly Haitian spot in Crown Heights with some of the best Haitian patties in town. A favorite of The Infatuation and a neighborhood go-to for vegan Caribbean food done right.
Expect patties, legim, griot alternatives, and a warm community vibe. The space doubles as a gathering point for the Haitian diaspora in Crown Heights.
