T-Coon in Lafayette, LA

Why did I take so long to take this entry out? Questions that need answers. Back in February I went to Houston for Bebe's birthday and to visit our family. Since we drove there, on the way back I needed to grab some beignets. I had never been to Louisiana, so I wanted some southern cooking and some pastries to go with it.

Found this dope family owned business while driving around a bit. They have been around for 4 generations and counting. As soon as you go in T-Coon, owner himself has the loudest hello to welcome you. Our beautiful and glowing waitress Melissa was nothing short of awesome. She was so attentive, alert and helpful, with her perfectly round belly she took care of everyone gracefully. We did things just a little backwards I'd say; I wanted sweets, then food. So beignets and some coffee were first on the list. Down below you see some of these perfectly powdered beauties. I was excited to still feel how warm they were; the first bite was a bit messy but very worth it. 

We set a couple aside and ordered some real food. Funny pork story at the end of this by the way. I don't eat it, pork that is. So Melissa did me the favor of accommodating my poultry needs. All the food is fresh and seasoned great. I had a biscuit sandwich with egg, cheese and a chicken patty (REAL chicken) fried. Had potatoes that were grilled and seasoned, they had a nice baby kick to them too. Bebe enjoyed a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit sandwich. I had ordered us a side of gravy, it was absolutely amazing. Come to find out, it had PORK in it. I was so ashamed in myself on how great it tasted... totally kidding. I was fine with accidentally enjoying it, and then going back to not eating it. We spent under $20 here, and they always have lunch specials available.

This stop has a total mom and pops... you're at your aunty house, ambiance to it. Wherever you sit, there is a piece of T-Coon and family around. Very southern and homegrown restaurant. There are lots of vintage pieces that you can check out while there. Can't wait to visit them again when in the city. Have some of their flavorful seasoning that you can buy on location, highly suggest it. I put those spices on a little bit of everything, perfect for all types of foods. Thank you to T-Coon, Melissa and Lafayette for the great hospitality. Remember to always love and allow to be loved xo.
