I came into town to visit my daughter who just moved here for a job. This place was recommended to me by someone I know that used to live in Thibodaux. I called in an order and picked up to bring my daughter. She got the chicken wrap with tomato soup. I got the weekly special. It was all so amazing! My daughter is really particular about her tomato soup. This one was as she described perfect!
Nice atmosphere, friendly employees. Sandwiches made on delicious homemade bread. Assorted coffees, deserts like homemade cakes, cookies. My order was wrong but the manager made good with a free dessert!! sign up for reward point with your phone number, they add up fast for big discounts on food and drinks. Definitely coming back.
Spotty staff, but the food is delicious and environment is lovely.
I think this was the best caramel macchiato I've ever had ! I We all ordered drinks and absolutely enjoyed them to the last drop. The barista wasn't personable whatsoever, but the drinks made up for it. The atmosphere could be a little more upbeat & vibey. And not sure why they would be closed on a Sunday ? We so wanted to come back the next day. Anyway, I came in for a delicious drink and it delivered!
What a great little place! I had the crab cake on croissant and the corn and crab bisque. Both were excellent! The staff is very friendly!
There will always be a special place in my heart for Willow’s. Their coffee is my favorite out of all the places to go to in Thibodaux, iced or hot. I’m obsessed with the poptarts and red velvet cake! Excellent food as well.
The atmosphere is delightful, and the food is great. Wonderful variety!! Soup is superb!!
GreenS, Eggs and Ham was yummy. Coffee served in a real mug! All very good!
Really cool little sandwich shop in downtown Thibodaux. Had the bacon ranch melt I believe it was called. Was super tasty and the atmosphere was really cool. Would definitely recommend it for sure.
