Carolyn's Cafe is also in Ceclia and well deserving of a meal stop as evidenced by this on-line recommendation.

The easiest way to get to Carolyn's Cafe is to take a break from househunting with a 7 member!  Not househunting? Still easy! It is located about 5 miles off I-10 near Breaux Bridge. Take exit 109 off I-10. Head northeast on La Hwy 328 approx 1.5 miles. Turn left on Poche's Bridge Rd to Hwy 31. Turn right on Hwy 31 and head East 3.7 miles to  Hwy 355.
