Mj's Cafe - Baton Rouge

Fantastic lunch spot, great atmosphere!. For a health conscious cafe, serving made from scratch soups and sandwiches, there is simply nothing in Baton Rouge that comes close to what MJ 's has to offer. <br/ <br/ Consistently exciting food and situated inside a unique location, MJ 's has become my go to location to take clients for lunch. <br/ <br/ I appreciate that portions are not the typical american 'all you can eat ' sized, but instead, perfect for anyone who is in tune with a healthy lifestyle. <br/ <br/ MJ 's is a welcome break in the typical offerings of southern America (meat based and typically unhealthy) and is doing it 's part to bring fresh food from the local farmers markets to the table, something I try to do at home, so it 's wonderful I have access to it for lunches as well. <br/ <br/ There are truly not enough places like this in Baton Rouge and I am so thankful MJ 's exists to provide a well needed service.

The Greek Sandwich. If you haven't gone to MJ's to try their Greek Sandwich, you need to seriously reconsider your choices in life.

This wonderful cafe is evolving constantly. Regarding the first comment on vegan options, there is always a tasty and wholesome vegan soup option, as well as several refreshing salads. Recently, the Vegan Deluxe was added to the menu. This sandwich features a succulent black bean salad, fresh guacemole, spinach, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Prepared on whole wheat and grilled lightly with olive oil this sandwich even satisfies self proclaimed carnivores! In response to the 'over priced under sized sandwich ' comment, for two dollars more than the outrageous $8, you can have any other item on the menu in addition. This includes quiche, salad, or soup; all made from ingredients which are either locally sourced, organic, or both.

Delicious. Great atmosphere. The Curried Carrot Bisque was so flavorful and filling. We also enjoyed The Louisianan, a spicy shrimp sandwich with peppers, onions. tomatoes, and romain on a delicious crusty french roll. The other sandwich we enjoyed was The French; goat cheese with sliced apples and pears, pepper jelly, goat cheese, and arugula on a french roll. Unbelievably delicious. Will definitely be going back to MJ's Cafe...

There are different kinds of restaurants out there this happens to be one where indgredients are locally sourced and all foods are prepared by the owner of the place. Not everyone enjoys this kind of place for whatever reason. The quality of the food is excellent, the flavors are always top notch.
