2nd Language brings some of the best global offerings into one innovative cultural hub in the heart of downtown Evansville, IN.
A CUISINE FEATURING A BLEND OF VIBRANT ASIAN FLAVORS AND INDULGENT PASTRIES.
When you step into 2nd Language, you’ll be immersed into a space of passion, culture, and history. With a cuisine featuring a blend of vibrant Asian flavors and indulgent pastries, our goal is to bring some of the best global offerings into one innovative cultural hub in the heart of downtown Evansville. Whether you’re in the mood for savory or sweet, breakfast or dinner, our eclectic menu is designed to satiate taste buds big and small. Our selection ranges from beautifully layered croissants in our Patisserie, to flavorful Southeast Asian cuisine on the savory side. Why the unique combination, you ask? We say, why not.
INFLUENCED BY EUROPEAN PASTRIES. INSPIRED BY GLOBAL FLAVORS.
In the Patisserie, or French pastry hub, you’ll find a variety of decadent pastries ranging from vegan hand pies to our signature layered French Donut, all created with careful technique. On the savory side (coming soon), expect your favorite Asian cuisine classics elevated to the next level with the incorporation of elements from the Patisserie. Think airy, sweet Japanese milk bread or crisp croissants meshed with Banh Mi and Katsu sandwiches. Yeah, we’re hungry now too.
🇯🇵 Our Miso Butterscotch is sweet, but slightly salty, with a touch umami essence, perfectly balanced from becoming too sweet! Basically, if you love salted caramel, then you will LOVE this! ☺️

👩🍳 When we first set out to create The Patisserie menu, we knew that we wanted to add vegan options so everyone could find something they loved!
.
But our vegan items are far from typical. They are filled with symphonies of flavor, texture, and fun!
.
🍲 Some vegan options we offer are our Asian Rice Porridge (known as Jok in Thailand), our Hand-Pies which are made plant-based, and our Smoothie Bowl which is filled with exotic blends and refreshing flavor!

🧇 We are so excited to introduce the Tri-State to our carefully crafted "Craffles!"
.
The "Croissant Waffle" product is taking the culinary world by storm. It is spreading throughout S.E. Asia and the U.S. Market in large metropolitan cities like NYC.
.
🥐 Our Bakers use the finest ingredients and authentic techniques to create delectable European Pastries for our shop. We used these same attributes to further elevate this amazing new product that this region has never seen!
.
Most shops making this product use frozen dough pressed in a waffle iron for quick and easy service, but anyone who has stopped by our shop knows that this is not how we roll!
.
👩🍳 Our NEW "Craffles" are made 100% from scratch using our FRESH, NEVER FROZEN, Croissant dough. Each batch of dough takes 3 days to laminate (Folding dough and butter multiple times to create hundreds of buttery layers), and rise. We then make each "Craffle" portion thicker and fuller than the S.E. Asian and NYC counterparts to create a bigger and better waffle feel.
.
When you indulge in one of our "Craffles," you are tasting the most refined available version of this product, and you can find it right here in the heart of Downtown Evansville!

🧇 This Saturday, from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM, we will be serving 3 Exclusive Craffle Flavors: Peaches & Brie, Chocolate Matcha, and Karaage Chicken & Craffles! 🍑
.
🥐 We take 3 days to craft our layered dough specifically for our Craffles. In Asia and NYC, pre-made croissant dough is typically smashed into a waffle iron to create a thin and crispy version, but we took the time to create a bigger and thicker dough so you can enjoy hundreds of flakey layers in true waffle form! We then top our Craffles with exotic and exciting flavors sure to please any waffle connoisseur! 🍫
.
The are while supplies last, and they will go FAST, so bring the whole family and have some fun with our new Craffles!

🥯 Our Bagels take on the texture of a "traditional" bagel, being more chewy in texture, which comes from poaching the dough in a honey solution to give them their signature chewy crust, and then baking them at a high temp to develop the crispy exterior texture!
.
When thinking of a bagel, most of us think of a grocery store bagel, which has a fluffier interior and soft shell. This is because these are not poached at all, and is only baked in a steam injected oven, which creates a bread texture.
.
👩🍳 We strive to be as authentic & educational as possible, so if you ever want to know more about what we do, ask a team member and we'd be happy to show you more!
