“We always try to go here when we are in New Orleans. Last weekend we took my niece for her first visit and she left her purse that was filled with all of her makeup. She was so upset because we are 5 hours away and she was starting school this week. I called the next morning and they located the bag and overnighted it to us! What a blessing! That is great customer service.“

“I like this place and I like that oat milk is already included in the drink, I hope there will be more vegan pastry options soon as I’m switching over to vegan from vegetarian, but I’ll gladly still get the coffee. The owner is very sweet and welcoming. And the staff are fun to talk to as well. It’s nice coming here and there very sweet to my dog as well.“

“Amazing food , staff and ambiance.“

“Great food and quick service“

“Loved it so much at breakfast that we stopped again for a late day treat. Food - Staff - Atmosphere : all amazing (bonus points for the spicy Bloody Mary)“

“Great service and food. Very helpful with directions.“

“And a good selection of music on the box…“

“I was in Tremé for four days, and I ate and drank coffee at Fatmas each and every single one of those days. The coffee was amazing. The food was delicious and their pastries were just beautiful. I loved the atmosphere and the outside seating. There’s even a couple of open windows where you can just stand and look out and feel the breeze while you’re waiting for your food. I wish that I lived closer so that I could go there every day.“

“Great food with incredibly friendly and professional staff. A family favorite!“

“Quintessential Marigny coffee shop. Fell in love with a divine maple latte last fall I never minded waiting 20 minutes in line for. Eclectic crowd, packed liked sardines; barista’s look like extras from a Nirvana video. You’re as likely to find a vintage clothing sale outside as you are a chess game, or neighborhood denizens passing a joint around on the stoops outside. Excellent pours. The coffee never disappoints, but the ambiance makes the place.“

“I'm recommending the gazebo because I've always loved going here and never had any issues with the food, until yesterday. We waited on two drinks for 25 minutes and two meals for 45 minutes. The food was inedible, both poboys were doused in salt and the chicken wasn't cooked properly. I informed the server that it wasn't cooked and I couldn't eat it and she couldn't have cared less. We paid $70 for food that was left on the plate. Extremely disappointed and hoping it was just a bad day.“

“Celtica has fast become our new favorite breakfast place. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and prices are reasonable. The vibe is a pleasant mixture depending on the time of visit but mostly very friendly mixture of gen x and millennials. The only hang up i have is the available seating, this place needs more seating as it is gaining popularity quickly.“

“Absolutely delicious made-to-order food and coffee/tea, nice ambiance, and attentive & friendly staff. Always a go-to!“

“Amazing food! Hip vibe! Avacado toast was the best!!“

“I just had the best lunch at this Cafe. Outstanding service and food is excellent. Will go back every time I'm in the area. Thank for your service. RJ Escoe“

“So glad that the only place I'll get beignets is back in business! It's worth every mile from Texas to make the stop. After having their beignets, fried to order, there's no need to go to that other place!!“

“Wow! like an oasis in a very bubbling area. nice, quiet, clean, friendly, supporting people in need... Food is great, worth stopping by. From Montreal“

“Great breakfast tacos with avocado & green onions! can't get just one.“

“Vegetarian friendly and great environment!“

“Discovered this little gem while staying at prince Conti last year a must go for brunch“

“We waited an hour for our food but it turned out so good !! The staff was very busy and very helpful !“

“Le Petit Bleu in the Garden District was such a charming stop during my trip. The café is absolutely adorable, and the atmosphere felt so welcoming the moment I walked in. I met some of the friendliest people there, which made the experience even more special.

I ordered a pastry, deviled eggs, and coffee, and everything was delicious—perfect for a relaxed morning before exploring the neighborhood. The location is wonderful too. It’s right across the street from a beautiful cemetery and in such a walkable part of the Garden District, which made it the perfect place to start a morning stroll.

Between the cozy charm, great food, and kind people, I absolutely loved my time here. I would definitely visit again the next time I’m in New Orleans. ☕🥐“

“The capital of singer songwriters in New Orleans.“

“We ate there while on vacation and their coffee and their twist on french toast was the best I’ve had. The service was top notch and the cafe was very clean :) Highly recommend stopping in.“

“This is the best coffee I've had in my entire life thus far and I'm 55 and a 1/2“

“Exceptional service and food options/selection, all at reasonable prices. Great value and everything tasted great. Our party of four had the "BBQ" oysters and patte as appetizer; gumbo, steak and frittes, beet salad with blue crab and grilled duroc blade steak as main course, and shared the chocolate cake and bread pudding - all perfect. Very busy on the Monday visited and a bit louder than I would have preferred. That said, would definitely recommend and look forward to my next visit.“

“Great food! Great staff! 😉“

“FANTASTIC! Truly, one of the best matchas I’ve ever had. Be sure you don’t miss out on a chocolate chip cookie which are made with rye flour, and refrigerated overnight to keep them moist….. BEST! And the ginger Chia pudding with berries and granola… Top notch!“

“Best shrimp and grits I’ve had in a long time.“

“Best Breakfast around and you can’t forget the beignets“

“The food here was amazing. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. I had the sausage and cheese biscuit with cheddar and tomato jam (pictured). It was divine.“

“My husband and i was visiting from Louisiana so we decided to stop in Cafe new orleans in Mississippi I ordered the steak salad and a baked potato I asked for no onions on my salad they had onions on the salad. My salad the salad looked like something that someone else had ordered it looked it had been sitting for a while it barely head cheese on it the lettuce look like it was getting ready to turn brown the meat was tuff behind $51.00 I thought the food would taste better then it did.“

“Oh my gosh I bought a box as a souvenir to share with the family. All the pralines I have ever had have been too sugary and hard. Miss Loretta’s Pralines are better than chocolate and her Praline Stuffed beignets are better than the “other very popular place!” I also love the Jesus signs!! I wish I would have bought more!“

“Small little coffee spot inside a cool looking and smelling deli. The drinks are made to order and you are the priority when the gentleman is making your choice beverage. I happen to walk in just based off the sign for the coffee inside. I had an iced americano and it was delicious. Highly recommended.“

“Best breakfast my wife and I have had in a restaurant ever! There Bennie’s are awesome. Can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu! We sat at the bar and the bartender was great!“

“Chateau Cafe Lakeview
Food is made as you order it. Always hot and delicious. You order at the counter and it is brought to your table with a very short wait. Service is great. The area is clean and kept that way. Tables are cleared shortly after someone leaves. The atmosphere is nice. Customers are respectful of others and you usually run into someone you know. An added perk is they have the best looking baristas around!“

“I'm glad I discovered this wonderful cafe right in Treme. Wonderful Smoothies, outside seating! Sometimes they offer Vegan Food too! Wish it was on a regular basis! Friendly staff also! I highly recommend this place!“
