Java Square Café

Java Square serves a light lunch and locally roasted coffee in historic downtown Opelousas. The café is located in the old Parish & Trust Bank building, built in 1927. Even the old bank vault is accessible and has been converted into a cozy seating area for guests. You can get a discount on your coffee if you take photos and post to Social Media.

Java Square serves a variety of coffee drinks but always serves Rêve coffee, a micro-roaster located in Lafayette, Louisiana. Bags of Rêve coffee, fresh or ground, are also available for purchase. For lunch, enjoy gourmet soups, sandwiches, and sweets. Java Square can also accommodate groups upstairs in the private balcony dining area.
