    Tasty food, great drinks, great customer service, and a cool beautiful interior. What's not to love about this place? I stopped here on my way out of New Orleans after a bachelor party and the refreshments were much needed. The croissants are immaculate, sometimes I pull up the pics I took of them and reminisce. They were that good! Perfect spot for a quick cafe breakfast or to grab some pastries on the go. You'll be glad you visited.

    The people running this place are so kind and talented! Everything is made from scratch in house. The pastry's are great! We also had a chicken pot pie that was fantastic! I highly recommend this spot for a quick delicious bite and coffee. This would also be a nice place to post up with a laptop if you need a place to work.

    Cheddar egg and cheese biscuit
    Anne A.

    This white cheddar biscuit with egg and smoked cheddar might actually be the best breakfast biscuit I've ever had. The bread was amazing, and the lovely ladies working today were the sweetest

    Iced chai and a croissant to go!

    This was my first time stopping in at their uptown location. A few weeks ago, someone smashed their window! Not cool! So I wanted to pay them a visit :) COVID procedures were less seating, must wear a mask, baristas wear masks, and contactless payment. I wish I could remember the name of the barista who served me. She was so sweet. She knew exactly what kinds of breads they had fresh that day and exactly where they were to show me. Even though I didn't get a loaf this day, I got an awesome gorgeous croissant. Ohhh it was delicious. I also got an iced chai. Also delicious I will definitely be back next time I find myself uptown in the early morning!

    boudin king cake
    Jamie B.

    The smells of this place when you walk should be captured in a candle or something! I enjoyed the nice warm welcome I had when I entered the cafe. It was my first time here. I had ordered a boudin king cake prior for pick up; orders must be placed in advance. I had paid prior too, so it was super easy. I walked in, was greeted, got my cake and left. The space is pretty big and could be good for groups. It looks like counter service as well, so separate checks would be easy too. There is parking off street outside and you are next door to Creole Creamery which is pretty amazing. I tried the boudin king cake when I was home. I didn't know whether it was cooked or not, I assume it was, but wish I had some instructions or had the nice lady behind the counter let know some cooking instructions. But regardless, I heated the oven up to 400 and heated it up for about 10 or minutes. I tasted it and that bread was so freaking flaky and good. It basically melted in my mouth. I loved the bacon pieces sprinkled all over. There is a tiny container of syrup that is included if you wanna pour that on your king cake. I did taste a little before pouring it on and it had a spicy sweet flavor to it. So, I poured a little on a slice and I didn't exactly love it, so I just ate the cake as is. The crackling on top, that they call it, is not cracking. That is pork rines. True crackling is fried, cubed bacon fat which is the most calorific, heart attack pushing, delicious thing you will put in your mouth. I ate one of the pork rines and didn't care for it. Overall, I did really enjoy that boudin. I don't know where the boudin came from or if they make it in house, but it was damn good and i am a boudin snob from living in Cajun Country for a while. I will be back, it's a super nice bakery.

    There is nothing left of my sandwich. At one point I did hold it over my head and say "my god, yes"

    Firstly, food was delicious AS ALWAYS. But today the lovely lady behind the counter (working a solo shift) made me an egg sandwich that was... simply... divine. I'm a simple person, I just want bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. Even though she was working the counter, it was slow enough in the middle of the day that she was willing to make me eggs (even though I know when they're working alone sometimes they can't) and these eggs were SILKY, let me tell you SILKY!!!!!! I have never had such good eggs IN MY LIFE. I don't know her name, she worked on Wednesday, August 16, 2023 at 3pm and it was AWESOME. I'm having an awful time in life and this helped so much.

We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children (one being only 2 years old), and because of that they changed our table type from a 4-top to a 5-top and made us wait an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple tables became available that easily could have accommodated us, but the hostess was determined to keep telling us we had to wait. To make matters worse, there was open bench seating in the back where customers ordering to-go could sit. I offered to order food to-go so we could at least sit down and get started while waiting, and she told me if I did that they would remove our name from the waitlist because "you have to pick one or the other." No willingness to problem solve whatsoever. She repeatedly said she was "sorry," but her actions showed the opposite. I was simply trying to work together to find some reasonable solution instead of continuing to watch everyone else get seated while our family, including small children, kept waiting. Absolutely horrible customer service experience.

There were an array of tables/chairs for dining in/brunch, though many of the visitors took their food and drink to go. That was the plan for me until the unexpected happened. I ordered a savory bun and a Purple Mountain (ube cream on a london fog - incredible and unique). I also ordered a build-your-own breakfast sandwich. The lovely staff member asked if I wanted my egg in the sandwich to be scrambled or sunny side up - casually. I figured that if she gave me this choice, then the egg should at least hold up well in the sandwich if it were sunny side up. I was wrong. When I received the sandwich in the to-go box, it had already been cut in half and the egg yolk was not even remotely solidified. It was extremely messy and liquid and saturated the entire bottom slice of bread. Mind you, someone had cut the sandwich, saw the egg yolk carnage, and thought "this is fine." Maybe it was my own naivete, but that's how I ended up with egg on my face (literally) and eating a deconstructed breakfast sandwich. BUT - it was still extremely delicious. Takeaway: get the breakfast sandwich! Do not get sunny side up egg!

This French bakery offers authentic pastries, hand-made croissants, brunch fare, & espresso drinks. The high-ceilings, white tile, and marble tabletops emit a European café vibe. There is also a charming courtyard if you want to soak in some sunshine. I first learned about this bakery when staying at the Hotel Villa Convento across the street. They served their buttery rich croissants as part of their continental breakfast. (I'm not sure if they still do.) Now that I have a house in the Quarter, I take a morning stroll over here to pick up croissants to take home. The butter croissants are a bargain at $3.50. I also love the chocolate & almond (both are $3.95 each), as well as the crisp & flaky Palmiers & delicate Almond Florentines. When I have guests, I bring them back a Ham & Cheese Croissant - a bargain at $5.50. They always ask me to bring another the next day.
