Cafetomas Uptown

The ham jibarito was incredible. Very filling. Prices are very reasonable.

You've gotta check them out for brunch. Arepas are wonderful, chilaquiles as well on their all day breakfast menu. I love putting a few shots in a mango tajin smoothie to be a fancy daiquiri.

Always so delicious. Chicken arepas is a favorite, also Cuban platter, tostones, jibarito… We love the outdoor seating and have never had to wait for a table.

Been local for 10 years, and not sure how it took me so long to discover this gem!
Our new breakfast spot in New Orleans. We were looking for other options as we were getting a little tired of our “usuals“. We were rousing through options on Google maps and came across this place open for breakfast.
It was clearly a family Dash run establishment and we really enjoyed hearing about the menu from our server who I believe was part of the family. We were very impressed with their full all-day breakfast menu (see my updated menu photo; the prior most recent photo on Google reviews was three years old and not accurate), especially the large selection of fresh fruit smoothies and a full espresso menu, which is not very common for a small establishment. The Cuban espresso was bold and bracing as you’d like it.
The decor of both the inside and outside dining areas were carefully curated and polished with a touch of someone who clearly cared about their establishment. Dining alongside sunny Carrollton Avenue was a great vibe.
The food was delicious and authentic with large portion sizes! The Chilaquiles in particular were a comforting, warm, spiced morning hug from someone’s sweet abuelita. The sweet plantains were a treat.
I’ll be back ASAP to try the multiple flavors of lunch/dinnertime arepas and the jibaritos.

The breakfast was so delish, I can’t wait to go back and try the dinner. The server was so sweet, best smile. Atmosphere was comfy and they have tables outside overlooking Carrollton. Already planning to go back

Cafe Tomas came highly recommended. When our streetcar stopped we decided to catch a bite and then walk home. Grabbed a seat and there was only one other table of 3 in restaurant who had quite obviously already ordered. Sign outside said $1 taco Tuesday. We just needed a quick bite so figured that would be good. We ordered plantanos, 2 chicken tacos and 2 beef tacos. Food was good. Beef a bit tough. It took 15 minutes to get platanos. Mind you, ONE other table who had app. Noticed their dishes came out piece-mailed. Another TWENTY minutes if not more for FOUR small tacos. Get the bill and partner paid. Got half-way home and I looked at receipt to see we had been charged $3.99 for each taco. Were they good? For the most part. Were they worth $3.99 EACH when sandwich board outside CLEARLY said $1 each for taco Tuesday? Nope! Will not go back. Next time I stop it will be next door at Lebanon Cafe.

Super limpio y muy lindo atienden 🤞🏻🥳

Cafetomas never disappoints!! Their new location is beautiful and it has the same charm as their first location in Kenner. Cafetomas has the best background music and it is never too loud. Food was also outstanding. We got breakfast arepa and the beef arepas and we loved them both. Their natural juices are great too. Additionally, the owner is very welcoming and ensures you have a great experience.
