I was there this morning, Friday Nov. 1, 2024 just to meet someone who requested this location(Silver Whistle Cafe, St. Charles Ave.) to discuss some business, I arrived first, my quest came 15 minutes later, however, as I went to seat myself, I sat at this table and NO ONE asked could they help me for 15 minutes UNTIL my quest arrived and an Asian employee came quickly to our table and said: oh, let me wipe your table off because I'm so sorry for the mess on the table, and what can I get you? and she preceded to ask me what could she get me? I felt VERY, VERY uncomfortable being there and quickly made my decision to NEVER bring business to this Cafe again. This was straight blatant discrimination. Wow, some people that you hire are the same people that will bring your business down.

Inconsistent.
Good on a Saturday, not so great on a Tuesday.

We went here TWICE on our trip because it was so good. The staff is friendly, the coffee is delicious, and they have the most delectable blueberry muffin I've ever tasted!

Wow. A great, rich espresso with a nice cafe vibe...all in the bottom of a hotel. Great place, I recommend it if you're on St. Charles Street.

I stayed at the hotel this cafe is located in for a work trip, and it was so nice to be able to pop downstairs for a coffee and pastry before heading out! The staff was incredibly kind and you can tell they enjoy their job, and care about the customer experience.

We ordered several espresso drinks with various flavors and everyone was a fan! The Silver Whistle definitely adds to the experience of the Ponchartrain Hotel!

Quiet little cafe in the bottom of the Ponchatrain hotel. Really good coffee. The broken yolk sandwich is tasty. Cheddar grits just right. Opens at 7am.

The place is super cute. The ceiling was an art piece all on its own. Had hot coffee with their frittata. It was okay. Not what I was expecting after having Avenue Cafe frittata. I did enjoy the fresh vegetables in it though. My husband had their blood orange juice ( bottled) which was very good and the broken egg sandwich. Personally I liked his meal better than mine. But the staff was wonderful and it’s a great vibe.

I like how they don’t have a bunch of menu items. They pick a couple items and make them well. The servers were nice, but they could do to speak louder. I really liked the decorations. Very instagramable.

Vegetarian options: They have a lot of milk substitute options, but the vegetarian dishes aren’t labeled. I don’t think they have any vegan options.

Dietary restrictions: None of the stuff has nuts unlessIt literally says it has nuts in the title or description. They have a lot of keto options. Lots of dairy substitutes too.

Parking: There’s a parking garage right next to the building, plus street parking.

Kid-friendliness: They don’t have many kid friendly menu options. Most of the food is catered towards an adult palate.

Wheelchair accessibility: The tables are really close and the way to the bathroom has stairs. It would be pretty hard for someone with a wheelchair to navigate.

The egg white frittata was full of perfectly cooked veggies, seasoned to perfection and spritzed with lemon...... Bright, light, yet filling.... Did I say perfect?!I had to get it to go, but if you can stop in and sit down I think you'll be glad you did.The person at the counter gave me a quick run down of which foods would travel best and was kind & helpful.

Got a $4 latte that tasted like it was from a gas station cappuccino vending machine.
