“Beautiful courtyard and delicious food. Our waiter"s recommendations were spot on. Would definitely return.“

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

“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.“

“Great food and quick service“

“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.“

“Amazing food , staff and ambiance.“

“The coffee and service were great! However, I was under the impression that this was a dog-friendly place. I came in holding my 11 lb Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and wasn’t acknowledged regarding my dog, which was fine — until another customer came in with their dog. The staff immediately offered them complimentary dog treats from the counter, but nothing was mentioned or offered to me.

The same staff member who served me even looked over after giving the other dog a treat, but didn’t say anything to me, which left me a little confused. I didn’t want to make it awkward by asking, but I’d love to know if there was a reason for that.

Overall, I really enjoyed the coffee and the service otherwise, but that small moment made me feel a bit left out. I’ll give this a 4-star rating for now, just because it could make other dog owners feel the same way. Maybe I just misunderstood how dog-friendly this place is!“

“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.“

“Delicious food, a variety of menu options, and terrific service!“

“Great espresso, nice spot.“

“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“

“The best food in the whole city of NEW ORLEANS HOMECOOKED FOOD THAT IS“

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

“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)“

“Everything is delicious here, really good. Best biscuits in the city hands down. They use what they have grown from the garden. The prices are unbelievable and the food is so fresh and high quality. I love the cause and helping kids on the spectrum learn skills and socialization! Truly amazing!“

“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!!“

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

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

“Vegetarian friendly and great environment!“

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

“Their soup noodles variety and the dimsum taste good. And ll of their pastries are great, it is highly recommendable.“

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

“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. ☕🥐“

“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.“

“Very pleasing atmosphere and love the aesthetics and beauty. Lots of gluten free and vegan options. There is respect for table spacing and social distancing in line while ordering. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

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

“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!“

“Great food! Great staff! 😉“

“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.“

“Great brunch menu and tasty drinks“

“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 employees, very helpful in making sure I indeed had the plant I wanted! Tasty and relaxing drinks. Lovely plantyard to relax in and chat , buy a plant or a pot if you'd like!“

“This has become my favorite place in New Orleans. I make it a point of stopping here when I’m In town.“

“Great little spot for coffee. The French toast was spectacular. Super friendly staff. 🥰🥰“

“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.“

“New Orleans in a cup! Love the one Royale.“

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

“I will always come back for the food and the excellent hospitality.“

“Best coffee shop on the NOBTS campus. Affordable coffee drinks and always a good spot for a snack between classes.“

“Excellent M Club lounge in a not-so-excellent hotel. The lounge really is a redeeming factor for the hotel. Wonderful complimentary breakfast every morning, a wide spread of snacks in the evening (although variety could be better), and friendly staff.

The only thing I would change is to turn down the music. The lounge should be a place to catch some respite and peace from the chaos of the hotel lobby. Loud music spoils the atmosphere. Also, maybe play some classical music instead of non-stop 90's pop and R&B.“

“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!“

“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!“
