A charming brunch spot with a quiet, homey atmosphere. Creative decor and a dedicated book corner for kids add to the appeal. The open layout with expansive windows creates a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended!

I visit Cafe Aquarius every time I’m in New Orleans. The food is so delicious, the staff is kind and accommodating, and the atmosphere is very welcoming! The book store is also such a great spot. I miss the cat, though!!!

I remember before Katrina when this was the cake place. Now it’s this really cute cafe with colorful decorations and really friendly staff. The brunch we had was delicious: artichoke cakes and spinach and fried oysters - it was soooo good! I miss seeing the cat in the bookstore though - please bring it back!

I love this place but I’m actually an Aquarius so maybe I’m biased. I’ve gotten to where I’m craving the fried tomatoes and Gouda grits and look forward to weekend brunch there and browsing the books next door. I do miss the cat in the bookstore and heard it’s gone because some Karen complained - please bring the cat back!

Great little neighborhood cafe and bookstore! Totally unexpected. A really solid selection of books including a surprisingly large children's section. I'll definitely be coming again!

Food is always delicious. Sad to see Ms. Kitty gone bc people are scared of her. She is harmless and precious. She was part of the experience.

Me and my wife entered the restaurant and was seated immediately. Service took drink order within 3 minutes, with a smile. Food took a little while about 15 minutes. I had a Fried Green Tomato Burger and my wife had a Regular Burger. The server came to our table not as frequently as I would have liked, to check on drinks. The food was good, I enjoyed my burger. I may go back, simply because the have fried green tomatoes on the menu.

I love their mascot, Catfish! She is the sweetest cat and one of the best parts about this place.

This place is incredible.I have been coming here a little over a year now and at least once a week.The staff are like family, incredibly friendly and kind to their patrons.The food has real heart poured into it and you can tell that Mrs. Rhonda truly cares about the quality of her craft. I have yet to have a bad item on this menu and trust me I’ve tried all of itThe cafe and bookstore combination creates such a nice relaxing atmosphere for customers and restaurant goers alike. Each table feels like it has its own story and place in the restaurant. It’s the type of place that you can have a giant work get together and at the exact same time, the location feels like you can sit in any little corner and read a book without interruption.The music in the background is always at the perfect level not to disturb you and it’s always in great taste.And the absolute BEST part of this Cafe’ has to be it’s incredible mascot Catfish. The sweetest little cat that I have ever met who resides in the Cafe’. She is well groomed, perfectly taken care of, will come up to you for a pet if you enter the book store enough, and is a vital part of this places atmosphere.It makes me quite sad to see some customers leave a negative review just for her. There is no cause for it, I’ve spoken with the staff at length on the topic of hygiene due to the cat, and every morning the tables and chairs get vigorously wiped down and cleaned.I love this placeYou should love this place
