    Superb iced coffee
    Ashley F.

    I had the best breakfast from Avenue Cafe delivered via DoorDash while in town for work. I ordered their famous iced coffee and it was fantastic! I rarely drink iced coffee but I decided to give theirs a try. It was perfect. Not too sweet, not too strong. It was just right. I also ordered a yogurt parfait that was amazing with crunchy yummy granola!! For my entree I tried the salmon bagel sandwich. It was also delicious. They packaged everything really well too and I appreciated that. All of my food was really great and it made my long work day so much better. It was the prefect way to start my day in New Orleans!!

    Stopped by for a coffee and breakfast sandwich. As we arrived we were greeted and assisted with putting in an order. We got ice coffees and a pair of sandwiches. (Mushroom Muffin Sandwich & Sausage Muffin Sandwich. It was a great breakfast.

    Let me tell you a little story about this place. It's a fun and artisty little coffee spot with a decent loaded menu of snacks and lite meal options. The staff was friendly and attentive. The shop was clean each time we came here. Yup, we hit this place up 3 days in a row. Coffee was tasty and hit the spot rightly in our bellies. The delicious food was filling but didn't over deliver, leaving you with stuffed brain. Prices were reasonable and affordable. This place is cute and should be experienced if you're in the area.

    Vegan bagel sandwich and Bloody Mary

    When traveling, I always try and find a bagel with vegan cream cheese. It was pretty hard to find in New Orleans, but Avenue Cafe delivered with a tasty vegan breakfast sandwich and even better that it was paired with a bloody mary! The staff were all very friendly!

    Avenue Cafe is a great local coffee shop. You can sit enjoy your food an people watch or grab and go. They offer an nice selection of breakfast items and pastries. I give them bonus points for offering a vegan bagel sandwich that is very tasty! Pro tip: there is only one restroom so if seeing folks line up to use the facilities is annoying to you, don't sit near the coffee station because you will have a prime seat to anxious folks doing the pee-pee dance.

    So, the Wife and I decided to try this local spot about two minutes from our hotel. I have found myself amazed by establishments here in New Orleans that don't look like much from the outside but are gems on the inside. This establishment is no different. It is very clean and laid-back, and the staff is very friendly. We had the vegan bagel sandwiches, and they were awesome. I had the Chai Tea with Oak Milk and while it was pretty good it could have been a little hotter. We will visit again whenever we are in the Crescent City. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!!

    Updated review: I frequent this place somewhat often, but I do not like that the tip option on the card machine has changed. It does not let you do a custom tip and forces you to do 15% + or no tip. I try to bring cash with me but I don't always have that on hand. As much as I would love to tip 15-25% to the staff- I can't afford that (especially coming from food & beverage myself.) It is not full service so 15-25% is a lot when you're ordering more than just a drip coffee. I LOVE the granola fruit bowl here, and the coffee dressing station is the BEST. Latte only comes in one size which is kind of annoying when you have people ordering who don't understand coffee in america is super sized. My brother loves the croissant sand-which, and chai tea. All in all, once you find what you like and bring cash to tip - it's a pretty good time.

Ordered: - Collard Green Melt - I was unsure about this one at first but honestly the flavors work really well together. - Fried Bologna - this one was also very yummy. I think if i reordered I would probably do not mustard (but that's just a personal preference since I don't like mustard). This sandwich had a lot of height to it, my TMJ was not happy but it was good. - Crinkle Cut Fries Both of the sandwiches were good but they're quite rich. I wouldn't be able to finish one by myself I got a little flavor fatigue by the end. Having a hard time picking between the two sandwich which one I prefer more so I would just get both and split it with others. Wait Time: Arrived around 1PM on a rainy Saturday, line was out the door. It was about a 30 minute wait until we ordered and got seated. Restaurant had slight nostalgia vibes to me, it almost felt like the sandwiches were something someone made after school with leftover ingredients and it works.

I will say I planned on ordering food here no matter what but my total was around $45 so keep that in mind, the price can come for you quick! That is my main quip. They had a bunch of options such as lasagna, chicken, and different kinds of cooked fish The store is kind of tight so not recommended for someone who's handicapped. They're open 24/7 so I'm sure it can be a good place to pick up something good once you leave Bourbon Street!

I come to central deli whenever I'm with someone not from New Orleans due to the fact their muffuletta is quintessential! I would like to reiterate nothing was wrong with the food , great food purely with the lady taking orders. I got a classic half muffuletta and a "glass" San pellegrino. The lady then told me open glass is prohibited in New Orleans , I retorted with "o really I didn't know that , since when?" Before I could finish The lady then yelled with "SINCE FOREVER, IM SORRY YOUVE BEEN TO BAD BARS WHERE THEY SERVE YOU GLASS ITS BEEN ILLEGAL SINCE THE 50s" which isn't true the city changed the law in 2001. She then proceeded to open my glass bottle even though I told her I didn't want it open, so I the asked if I could get another one since she was in rage mode and didn't understand that she just contradicted herself. As I asked for the second San Pellegrino, she then takes the first one and goes "NO PROBLEM THANKS FOR THE FREE DRINK", and starts to drink the San Pellegrino infront of me as I check out, making thirst quenching noises like "AHH". As I leave she can't help but remind me for her free drink again. I'm pretty sure the management witness this whole situation and I hope they do something about, that lady doesn't realize what hospitality is and needs to be fired. I did nothing to her and I bet I wasn't the first she has blow up on. But in my eyes absolutely unacceptable.

I'm not an authority on poboys, but I've been told this is not really a traditional poboy and that it's more of a cross between poboy and bahn mi, with all the pickled vegetables.

I placed my order and then went to the front of the house to grab a frozen Irish coffee. There's one six people ish table and some small bar space in the Killer Poboys area, so I sat by the bar solo until my sandwich came out. I got the grilled shrimp poboy-- it reminded me a lot of the grilled shrimp sandwich from Num Pang, which is an NYC institution I miss dearly. But the bread is much softer and plentiful. The mayo and the overflowing pickled carrots makes it a messy experience. For Gulf shrimp, the fishy taste was almost nonexistent, a testament to the good seasoning and grilling. I wish we would all be so lucky to have late night bar eats like this.

If you read…read morethe whole review I'll give you the best tip on how to skip the line (insert shushing emoji) and don't cheat by skipping to the end! Hands down, the best po'boys in all of NOLA. Everything is made from scratch (except the bread, which they source locally), and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorites are the Surf & Turf and the James Brown. The Surf & Turf gives you get the best of both worlds (shout out to Hannah Montana). Look it up kids. You get the slow-cooked roast beef with gravy plus fresh Gulf shrimp. Shut the front door! The James Brown is just as incredible: juicy BBQ beef, pepper jack cheese, fried shrimp, and a hot sauce mayo. Bring napkins - you'll need them. Pro tip: go with a group and order a few different po'boys to share. You'll want to try everything. You made it to the end, so here we go. I feel like gate keeping (look it up old-timers), but I'm going to be generous because I love y'all. In order to skip the line, go to the bar area and find a high top or seat at the bar. A seat always opens up quickly. It never fails. You can order from the bartender and the service is top notch. Cheers y'all!

Fries are nothing special (IMO).
