Morain Coffee Co. in Lafayette Closes After Just Two Months

Morain Coffee Co., located on Ambassador Caffery Parkway in Lafayette, has closed its doors just two months after welcoming its first customers. In a heartfelt Facebook post, the shop announced:

“It is with a sad heart that I must announce that as of today, we had to close. We appreciate everyone’s business and are devastated that we could no longer remain open.”

The cafe, owned by "nurse-turned-barista" Jodi Taylor, first opened earlier this year on May 15. Inspired by her love of coffee, home-style baking, and family,

Taylor named the business after her three sons, who also helped run the shop.

From Excitement to Closure

When it launched, Morain Coffee quickly made a name for itself with scratch-made treats, local flavors like boudin and cochon in a blanket, and its now-famous cinnamon roll biscuits.
