“Great little shop that specializes in cheesecake, obviously. The name intrigued me as I passed by on my way to a jobsite and I felt compelled to stop by to check it out. I had never seen a bakery that was strictly cheesecake before, and the positive reviews only reinforced my decision to see what it was all about.

It was getting close to closing time when I arrived and there were five or six flavors of the personal size to choose from, ready to go.

I went with a personal sized Chocolate, and Strawberry Swirl which were to be split and shared with a coworker, and cupcake sized Piña Colada.

The cupcake size didn't survive the parking lot because I devoured it immediately. It was fabulous!

The flavors of the other two were also wonderful, with perfect texture and not too dense, and with just the right sweetness. They left nothing to be desired, except MORE!

It was excellent. The two bakers I spoke to were also just as delightful as the cheesecakes.

I hope this little shop stays open as I intend on stopping by again.

And again.”

“666th review 🤘😈 this bar is like a home away from home. be cool, enjoy the great food, great drinks poured with love, and an amazing community of locals, writers, painters, clothing makers, musicians, burlesque performers, tour guides, and everything else, goths and punks and witchy folks, sharing some of the most fascinating stories and conversations in town. Come in for amazing movie nights, burlesque shows, writers circles, live music, and trivia nights in the back courtyard aka the Scrapyard. if you ain't gonna be cool, then don't bother coming in, if you're trouble then this ain't the place for you. otherwise what an absolute gem of a bar slash venue”

“On our way out of town and didn’t want to fight to the crowds in the middle of the French Quarter but wanted to find some good craft beer. This place did not disappoint. We did 2 flights and were able to sample each beer that was offered. Ended up having a nice wine glass of the barrel aged blueberry sour and a pint of the WC Pale Ale. Great atmosphere. Shared some Mardi Gras familiarities with some locals, grabbed some stickers and were on our way. Great beer and laid back atmosphere! Highly recommend!”

“The entire staff is very friendly. The service is fast & accurate. No waiting in long lines like at fast-food places. And the food is excellent! I’m hooked on their banh mi sandwiches.🤤”

“I finally tried Stella Maris after many friends recommended it. It was the best Middle Eastern food I’ve had in the New Orleans area! The food is delicious, prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly. The grocery store has a nice selection of international food at surprisingly low prices.”

“Wonderful experience! Had the quesadilla and it was delicious. Staff was great, super friendly. Restaurant had the small business cozy family vibe. Food and service were spectacular, highly recommend.”

“One of the best poboys I have ever tasted.”

“I can’t speak more highly about this Bakery! I have had EVERYTHING and I’m obsessed. They made a giant king cake 3 for my son’s birthday and it was phenomenal. Their day to day chocolate croissants, cookies, and bread have always been top tier. Along with having my favorite traditional king cake they will remain my favorite. 10/10 recommendation.”

“We stopped by this morning and everything we tried was amazing!! The beignets were delicious and life changing, the king cake was the perfect amount of sweet and fluffy, and my husband was completely satisfied with his shrimp and grits that he ordered. We will definitely add this location to our regular stops when we travel through!”

“Went here for my birthday dinner and it was exceptional. Romantic and cozy atmosphere with decor that transports you to Venezuela. The owner helped us order the best flank steak and branzino I've ever had. Definitely try the homemade hot sauce. Can't wait to go again!”

“I want to thank Arabi food store for providing the best finger sandwiches for my father's funeral services. thank you very much everyone enjoyed them I would highly recommend anyone going to Arabi food store if you have any catering needs. thank you, Reisie AKA LBT.”

“We dined in and upon first entering, you can tell the place is kept extremely clean and well maintained! The employees/manager welcomed us with a genuine smile and warmth. The menu is well-designed for simplicity and ease of use. I ate the shrimp platter and my wife had the chicken platter. Both came with a salad, hummus, rice, and pita bread. Neither of us got the hummus, but we both received extra salad. The plates were delivered to our table quickly, and hot! The shrimp platter had AMAZING flavor, not overbearing and not too typical of seafood - just perfect! The rice is to die for, and was probably my favorite part of the dish, which says wonders because I absolutely love my seafood! The salad was simple, yet tasty and crisp. My wife loved the chicken platter in its entirety! All-in-all, I'd give them a 4.9, but only due to them offering drinks in 12oz cans instead of out of the fountain, but its able to be overlooked for the overall experience.”

“seafood platter was excellent, everything was battered and tried perfectly. boiled seafood was perfectly seasoned the shrimp were easy to peel”

“Our go to place for fresh seafood. Today, gumbo, incredibly fresh seafood platter for two, baked mac and cheese followed by their bread pudding Everything was delicious, the service was good, see you next Thursday!”

“Amazing!!! Wow. We were recommended to come here by out Uber driver and I am SO SO glad we did!! I had the Philly Steak and my friend had the Crawfish stuffed. Wow. Is all I can say. The flavor was amazing!! I would eat here everyday if I lived here!! I HIGHLY recommend making a stop here.”

“IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!!!crab dip is to die for.the cookies were amazing! The CAKE!!! Never had a party where all the cake was gone some came back for thirds!! There are no words to describe how fresh and the FLAVOR was out of this world!!!! My new 1 stop party food place.”

“My wife and I ate there yesterday. It was impossible to enjoy our food. What we assume ro be the managers (a man and lady) were having a verbal altercation on the phone... screaming profusely, slinging racial slurs, cursing and would not stop. This went on for at least 20 minutes. Seriously, this could not have been taken to another area--like outside? ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND EMBARRASSING behavior coming from those 2 "adults" We will NEVER eat there again...plus it was sub-par anyway. All we wanted was a peaceful meal after having tragic news. Joke was on us. "0" stars and NEVER AGAIN. And as far as the workers involved--YOU NEED TO GO. Thanks for such a horrible experience and a waist of money and time.”
