    Tart and iced coffee

    I found this little place after attending a graduation in the area. Street and reserved parking, attached to a super cute bookstore. Menu has lots of fresh and yummy foods, something for every picky taste bud. Although I only had coffee and dessert I would've had more of there hadn't been a wait 40mins before you get your food warning. Though I appreciate the warning, that cancelled lunch for my schedule. I would again try Cafe Aquarius if I had business in the area but I usually don't.

    Oh my word! I already want to go back. My friend and I each got a cauliflower "chik'n" wrap and shared. Oh my oh my! So yummy. I got the Asian Chicken Wrap which is described as "Asian marinated chicken, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, cilantro, rice noodles, sesame peanut sauce, spinach wrap." My friend got another "chik'n" wrap but I can't find the description online so I can't tell you about it but it was good also. I got the pasta salad and my friend got fries. I Tammy liked the pasta salad. Excellent, excellent restaurant

    Super unique, cute, & welcoming atmosphere/ staff. Book store inside. Plenty decorations. Great fresh & healthy food options as well as vegan/vegetarian (especially hard to find in Da Parish). Robyn is the best! Their Blue Eyes Tea is delicious, pretty color, tastes great without sweetener, & free refills.

    Still as good as ever! Loved the Asian Chicken Wrap, even as a takeout meal! The cold quinoa salad was great as well.

    The bookstore and cafe signs

    This place is amazing!!!! The owner had an amazing idea for a cozy restaurant. The food is amazing, perfect consistency and the fact that she was even teaching us the recipe and the owner herself was there to have a friendly conversation is the coolest to experience. She has a bookstore with the coziest little set up. We are from florida and this place right here should be a 10 star... the 5 star isn't near what she deserves :)

    Fried green tomatoes with Gouda grits - eggs, fried green tomatoes, fried shrimp, hollandaise sauce and a little argula.

    Correction I had the fried green tomatoes not the eggs Labatt. I can't wait to try more

    Ronda made my wedding cake dreams come true. Not only did both layers (chocolates peanut butter, and red velvet) taste light and fluffy, moist and decedent all at the same time-the design captured a New Orleans nuptial like no other. Hands down have these people do your cake!!! Also the brunch is to die for. Fried green tomato eggs Benedict a must!!

    Awesome selections. I loved the Eggs Labatt. Servings were generous. Not quite the social distancing I like, but perfect for pick up.

    Walking into Cochon Butcher, one is immediately struck by something that is not always easy to…read moreachieve in the restaurant business: a palpable sense of professionalism. Everything appears carefully considered and efficiently executed. The layout is purposeful, the operation is remarkably well organized, the space is impeccably clean, and the presentation of the products is both attractive and inviting. The restaurant's steady stream of customers throughout much of the day is hardly surprising. There is an obvious rhythm and efficiency to the operation, yet it never feels rushed or chaotic. Instead, there is a sense that every component of the business has been thoughtfully orchestrated. The staff further reinforces this impression. They are exceptionally friendly, courteous, and accommodating, but what stands out most is their knowledge. They are able to answer questions, offer guidance, and navigate the extensive menu with confidence, making the experience both comfortable and enjoyable. And the menu itself is a destination. It offers an impressive range of choices, with an appealing variety of meats, sandwiches, sides, and beverages. There is far too much temptation to reasonably expect one visit to be sufficient. In fact, choosing what to order may be the most difficult part of the experience. Their version of the muffuletta an outstanding of the original. Particularly their version of the bread, which was fresh, and warmly toasted renders it a cut above. Cochon Butcher is therefore a restaurant best approached with the intention of returning. One visit gives you an introduction; several visits allow you to truly appreciate the breadth of what they do. The combination of organization, cleanliness, quality, knowledgeable service, and an extensive menu makes Cochon Butcher a particularly impressive example of how a busy restaurant can operate with both efficiency and character.

    Cochon Butcher was definitely worth the stop! There was a line when we arrived, and seating is…read morefirst come, first served, so be prepared to wait a little and get creative when finding a table. We noticed a guy sitting by himself and offered to buy him a beer if he'd let us join him at his table. He said yes, and it ended up being part of the fun experience! The food was excellent. We ordered the Cochon Muffaletta, which was huge, packed with flavor, and definitely a must-try. The mac & cheese is an absolute MUST--creamy, cheesy, rich, and easily one of my favorite things we ordered. The beer was great too and paired perfectly with the food. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and exactly the kind of place you want to experience while in New Orleans. 5/5 -- great food, great beer, and absolutely worth the visit. I would definitely come back!
