If you lived in the Lafayette area around 2011-2015, you may remember Viva La Waffle, an awesome waffle-themed food truck with a fervent following. When the food truck closed its window in 2015, it left a waffle-shaped hole in many Acadian's hearts. Well, hold to your buns, y'all, because Viva La Waffle has returned, this time with a brick-and-mortar shop and even more delicious waffle sandwiches to enjoy.

As of March 2021, Lafayette locals can once again enjoy the waffle sandwiches from Viva La Waffle.

After a six-year hiatus, local restauranteur Collin Cormier and his wife, Jasmyne, have re-opened the popular waffle eatery, this time as a sit-down restaurant on Liberty Avenue in Lafayette.

You can also go through the drive-thru for a quick and easy waffle transaction.

Replacing the bread with Belgium-style waffles, these certainly aren't your typical sandwiches.
