We’ve been waiting for our food for 50 minutes now. Just an omelette and beignets. People that got here after us with similar or same orders have gotten theirs. When we ordered yesterday morning for room service we got a taste of it and it was just “ok”. Know you will pay a lot for food that has barely any taste in it, and be ready to wait. The couple next to us have been waiting for 45 minutes and when asked where their food was they just glanced at the receipt in their hand and said “oh I’ll look into it” and hasn’t been back since. Do yourself a favor and skip it.

The staff was absolutely the best. Even gifted us beignets with chocolate sauce they had extra and refilled my tea with hot water water at no extra cost.

The Roosevelt Beignets are craaaazy good, like waaaay better than Cafe du Monde. They just look/feel/taste a lot more premium, which also comes with a premium WA price tag of 3/$9 (Cafe du Monde = 3/$3.85). High quality beignets + nutella raspberry sauce = foodgasm.

If you want breakfast, make sure you come before 11am. The red velvet cake has too much cream. There is more cream than the actual red velvet cake. Personally, I didn't really enjoy it. The service is really slow, not a good place to eat if you are in a rush. For dine in, you order and pay at the register, then get a number card to put on your table for the servers to bring your plates to your table.

Great food options. Loves of pastries. Fruit partfait was fresh. Biscuits and gravy was flavorful and warm. Can't ever go wrong with pancakes.

Service was great for a walk-up counter. I did expect more from the food at the world famous Roosevelt (now called Waldorf Astoria New Orleans). We had a bowl (about 10oz) of gumbo and a chicken sandwich with French fries. The gumbo was forgettable, but the price will linger in my mind for a while at just under a dollar per tablespoonful. The fried chicken sandwich was crisp yet tender. It was accompanied by pickles and lettuce. There were tiny bottles of katsup, mayo, and mustard on each table. Unfortunately, I found two opened containers. The opened mayo had what looked like katsup mixed into it (probably from someone sticking a French fry into the bottle). I am one of the only people in the country who admits to not liking fries much. With that said, the fries that came with the sandwich were amazing! They had a crispness and seasoning that truly impressed. With all of this said, the business is known as a bakery and coffee shop. I do intend to come back and give their coffee and treats a go.

We found Teddy’s Cafe is good for a quick meal. Though this is not what we are normally looking for it is very good as lots of people are in a hurry and need a quick bite. They have a good selection of pastries, muffins, coffees and also some cooked dishes. The service is also friendly, efficient and prompt. For a fast food restaurant the seating is surprisingly very ample and quiet comfortable. This is a great place to stop for a quick bite or something light.

At first we just thought it was a coffee and pastry shop but they had a menu board for breakfast which was very good.
Teddy's is the casual coffee bar & breakfast/lunch spot in the beautiful, historic Roosevelt's lobby. If you're a hotel guest, by all means, check it out. However, with all of the amazing food to be had in the city of New Orleans, there's no reason to go out of your way to come dine here. Full disclosure, the only reason I ate here twice during my recent 5-day stay at the Roosevelt Hotel was that I had a daily $30pp credit to spend as part of the AMEX Fine Hotels + Resorts program. Teddy's can be great for a couple of reasons beyond convenience. They have a full-featured espresso machine and can make most "mermaid logo'd" coffee options, awesome to have if the in-room Nespresso machine doesn't meet your needs. They offer an array of grab & go snacks and bottled drinks to toss in your day bag before you head out to explore NOLA. The pastry case has some tasty croissants, danish, and pretty fruit-adorned desserts. Finally, there is a limited hot meal menu with some decent options that you can eat in the dining room or have prepared to-go for a great picnic elsewhere. Your best experience will be before 8a on weekdays before the crowds have begun to form. After that, service & food quality becomes spotty as the staff is overwhelmed. I'd avoid altogether on the weekends. Our first visit was on a Friday morning around 8:30 am. There was a line of about 5 parties waiting to order at the counter and one harried person working there. When it was finally our turn, I ordered the "fresh pressed juice blend" and the single counter person searched in back of the mini fridge to pull out a pitcher covered in saran wrap with about 3 oz of juice in the bottom. She said, "It looks like they forgot to refill it." Thoughts I had but did not say: Umm, ok? That doesn't seem "fresh pressed" to me; is that pitcher from yesterday? I did say, "No worries, how about a bloody mary instead?" Again, rustling to the back of the fridge and pulling out another almost empty container of juice. "Ok, nevermind, I'll have a small coffee." :-/We'd heard on Yelp and through the hotel front desk that the beignets were great, so we ordered "The Roosevelt" to share (2 eggs, 3 beignets, homefries, fruit cup, and choice of meat) plus side of avocado and wheat toast. Our assessment: beignets were just okay, a bit dense and not the light & fluffy texture you know if you have had the best. Everything else on the meal was pretty good, especially the crispy, thick bacon and the ripe, fresh fruit. I was annoyed that my toast was served completely dry with no butter and no way to get any without waiting in line again. The food servers come from the kitchen, drop off your plates, and never return. How hard would it be to put a couple of sealed butter pats on each table along with the other condiments in the center holder, or at least in the self-service utensils/condiments station at the front? Better yet, just butter the toast before serving. :-/Our 2nd try at Teddy's was about 7:30a on Monday morning. This time, we hit the sweet spot: no line and the dining room was in pristine condition. This time, we wisely ordered coffees, a warmed croissant, a breakfast BLT (brioche bun, Crystal hot sauce mayo, fried egg, BLT, plus homefries), and a side of pork sausage (2 links). Our order was served promptly and the food was warm. All tasted fine, especially the high-quality meats. A note on condiments. You'll find a little tray on each table with Tabasco, salt, pepper, and a random couple of single-use, glass-jarred items such as honey, ketchup, mayo, and jam by Dickenson's. If you need other things not on the table, try the station at the door where there are packets of mustard, other jams, plastic utensils, etc. Beware that the jarred items may have been opened, half dished out with someone else's knife or finger, and put back into the tray. No thanks, e coli, typhus, & salmonella! Just make sure you are opening a s

A good place to go in the morning for a coffee or snack. The lunch food was good too!

Spent 40 minutes waiting for my lunch - an order of gumbo and a salad. My gumbo consisted of a cold lump of rice surrounded by a couple pieces of sausage in a thick tasteless gravy. I'm pretty sure they forgot about my order until I inquired about it after waiting for almost 30 mins. The employees couldn't have cared less. Other guests seems to share the same problem - I watched one couple wait 20 minutes for an order of beignets.

I really wanted to like this place. The food was all right. The pancakes were cold and dry (like eating styrofoam). Overhyped. I gave this place two stars because I was feeling extra generous. Good cappuccino.

We had great breakfasts in this cafe. Food was consistently good. My daughter ordered a brownie from the case to take back to our room and it was hard as a rock. We reported it the next day and were offered a replacement without issue.
