Molly's Rise and Shine

Rambling preachy notices ruin the quaint and fun decor. Nice workers, food is so so, rather greasy. It's a shame they automatically added a 15% gratuity in an effort to take some kind of moral high ground, because I would have left more of a tip without it. Long lines on weekends.

Hipster trendy spot... make your own opinion. I got the fried chicken sandwich, it's okay, has a strong chili flavor, nothing spectacular. Wait time was over an hour to sit, came around 1030.

Will I come again, no, will I recommend, also no.

Molly’s Rise and Shine is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked up to the charming exterior, we knew we were in for something special. The inside felt like stepping into your grandma’s toy room—fun, colorful, and filled with nostalgic vibes. The walls are lined with retro games, toys, and quirky knick-knacks that make the atmosphere both inviting and playful.

The service was exceptional. Despite the line out the door, it moved quickly, and the staff was friendly and attentive. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to your table, making the process seamless.

We had the classic biscuit sandwiches, and they did not disappoint. The biscuits were homemade with an incredible texture—flaky, buttery, and perfectly golden. I had mine without the banana peppers, but my husband had his as-is, and he said the tangy kick from the peppers took the sandwich to a whole new level.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Molly’s Rise and Shine is a must-visit for a delicious breakfast experience with a side of fun nostalgia. We can’t wait to come back and try more from their amazing menu!

Stopped in when wandering the Garden District.

Only got the chicken sandwich.

The sandwich itself was very simple, but was insanely good. One of the best chicken sandwiches my wife and I have ever eaten, and we try a lot of chicken sandwiches.

The honey butter was lights out.

We stopped into Molly's for a quick bite and shared the chicken biscuits and it was amazing! I wish me and my wife got one each now! My wife also fell in love with the iced dirty chai, which she said was amazing

Come for the food, stay for the vibes. First visit was in 2023 and Molly’s is still cranking out delicious eats in 2025. Absolute must for breakfast in NOLA. The carrot yogurt bowl was perfection - crunchy flavorful granola, creamy yogurt, carrot marmalade wasn’t too sweet, orange slices and hint of mint were *chefs kiss* Staff were so nice and helpful, even made an allergy note on my order. Bonus Antonio Banderas poster in the back 💕

This place is amazing!

They really bring a creative twist on classic staples.

One dish we ordered was the collard greens and grits. I was sure I knew what that would taste like, but I was shocked to get a Thai tasting braised greens with peanuts and what tasted like fish sauce. The flavor was bright and refreshing whereas I'm used to collards and greens both being hearty and savory.

The tamales reminded me of both the Mississippi delta style I grew up with and the more authentic tamales I've had in California. The red mole seemed cooked into the masa like the delta tamales but more upscale. I love that they were full of veggies. The biscuit was both crispy and moist at the same time. The biscuit sandwiches were huge and more traditional.

I like Turkey and the Wolf, but I LOVE this place. I'll 100% be back here.
