Overall it was a really good experience. If you go in expecting it to be the same as the old MJs you may be a tad disappointed as the menu & recipes have definitely changed, so I suggest going in with an open mind and just treating it as a new experience overall! They’re def still getting into the swing of things so enjoy the laid back café vibes and would reccomend a leisurely brunch rather than trying to squeeze it in on a lunch break. I loved my sandwhich & corn chowder and highly suggest checking them out!
My only notes would be: to please add pricing to your coffee menu, I likely would have still ordered it to try but $8.25 for a small iced coffee (after you account for tax) definitely threw me off. & for anyone with allergies be aware with the expanded menu there’s definitely a risk of cross contamination. I got the Mushroom sandwich to go for my husband (who has a fish and shell fish allergy) and he definitely had a mild reaction.

What a great experience!
I had the lemonade with hibiscus which was refreshing.
The hummus appetizer was fresh and had a homemade flavor profile. Not just some jar stuff. The pita was properly toasted and had an airy chew.
I had the quesadilla and got the grilled onion add on which I highly recommend
Morgan ? was an excellent server! Great service !!
There was something for everyone! Support local and check this place out!

I hadn’t been to MJ’s since the reopening and so I went to check it out. I ordered their breakfast sandwich and cheezy patatas bravas, as well as a cold chai latte with whole milk. The sandwich and the patatas bravas were delicious. The only thing I was disappointed by was the chai latte, as it was extremely watered down, it really did taste like cold water with a hint of chai. I was surprised, I’ve never had a chai latte taste like that, but it wasn’t great haha. My server was lovely, very attentive, super great service. The atmosphere is a little bit more upscale now, less laid back, and I kind of miss the more casual vibe but that’s my personal preference. I will miss the bean torta tho, and the sweet potato soup. Still a great place to eat.

Family and I LOVED the old menu. The new place is not it. Ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich yesterday, it was mostly coconut baecon on bread. The toastada is impossible to hold. Found fuzz in my food. The oatmilk latte was terrible, tasted like a packet of Swiss miss. We paid $86 and only enjoyed the vegan cinnamon French toast. Can’t believe this place sold out for the meat eaters when the vegans had no place to eat!

We’d been here a couple years ago but it was for breakfast and I’m not really a breakfast fan so back then I wasn’t as blown away as I was today for lunch. The food was amazing and caters to those w/ dietary restrictions. Not only are the portions plentiful and relatively cheap for the quantity/quality…the service is great and the space is casual but definitely not “hole in the wall.” A stop in Baton Rouge will not be complete without eating here @ least once.

Used to love this place before I moved and was big excited to be back for it. It’s hard enough being vegan in Louisiana, but I’m deathly allergic to seafood so I can’t eat anything prepared in the same pan/grill/oven as fish. I literally cannot eat here anymore. Wish they’d have actually stayed plant-based /:

Guess what? I’m a huge fan of vegan food! It’s so healthy and flavorful! I didn’t get to order much, but I’m going back to try everything else.
1. Hummus Platter. V/GF
Mj’s homemade hummus, cucumbers, and warm pita. Gluten-free when served with crackers.
2. The French. VEG
Apples, local pepper jelly, greens, and your choice of goat cheese, vegan feta on toasted sourdough, or panini-style with Provolone.
(Choice of soup: roasted squash soup)
3. Mocha Almond
Chocolate, coffee, and toasted almonds in an oat + brown sugar dough.
4. Lavender Latte

Tried MJ’s cafe for the first time today. The place is a vibe. Beautifully painted from the outside with colorful vegetables that look inviting and refreshing are sprawled across the large picture windows at the front of the building. The sign outside is faded and we almost missed it driving by twice. Parking is around back.
The back entrance sports several pots of lovely purple flowers. A brighter, more colorful sign invites you into the restaurant. A faded, albeit, still cute photo op of butterfly wings is right outside the back entrance.
Inside is spacious and bright, funky and chill all at once. Oddly calming. We scooped up a table and we’re immediately and cheerfully greeted by an employee.
For lunch, I opted to try the cauliflower soup. The soups are du jour, and I neglected to ask if it was made with vegan mayo, and it did come with a sauce. They very politely exchanged it for me. The soup was warm and comforting. Next time, I will ask for no parmesean extra extra red pepper flakes as they just made the soup pop with a burst of spicy flavor. The hot sauce really rounded it out. A nice and comforting cup of yummy goodness.
I also tried the avocado toast with coconut bacon and pickled onions. Absolutely scrumptious. The coconut bacon didn’t taste very smokey but was light and crisp and enjoyable. I didn’t care for the oil drizzled on the plate, but the rest of it was amazing. Best part was the sweet serenade from a kitchen full of employees milling about and enjoying life, the universe and everything. Cheerful and uplifting environment. I recommend everyone (even meat eaters like me!) to pop in. They will absolutely surprise you!

One of the best caprese sandwhiches I’ve ever had! Love the vibes and the staff were very kind. Definitely one of my new favorite lunch spots.

I did a search for Vegan food near airport and it let me to MJ’s. The staff is informative and friendly, Andrea helped me out today and she was a delight.
The atmosphere here is open, modern and comfortable. They had nice, seasonal decorations throughout the dining room and in the tables. So cute!
Now to the real reason I stopped in…the food! They have so many vegan options and it was nice to be able to have breakfast. They had a couple specials and I chose the Pumpkin Pie French Toast. It wasn’t too sweet, it was just right. I paired it with a Hazelnut Oatmilk latte and could not be more pleased.
I highly recommended this spot, vegan or not.
