    Everything bagel
    Ike A.

    Great place to grab a quick bite to eat, this morning I was meeting uptown with a client and stopped here for a quick bite. It was great , staff is always pleasant and the smell of fresh food and coffee never hurts. Today I got a bagel with eggs and turkey for breakfast with pepper jack cheese.. Bon appetite

    Pastries and sandwiches

    With a large, deep interior, the building is a charming and ideal meeting place. I love the idea of combining local baked goods and locally-roasted coffee. Unfortunately, the coffee is not top notch and the baked goods are ok - reflective of the production at volume to supply their several other locations.

    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.

    Menu as of 09/12/2023

    Menu Also the place is now open to like 9 PM. Decent breakfast food, spacious place, too.

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

Joel is professional and kind; He's full of personality and definitely knows his stuff!! I highly recommend having a reservation. We were seated immediately due to having a reservation. The vibe of the location is the best. The colors and setting will brighten up your day. We'll thought out set up. Our server Aurry was amazing. She provided great service and awesome recommendations from drinks, apps and eats! Her personality was very pleasant and sweet. She was attentive but not overwhelming at all. Both Aurry and Joel contributed to the overall experience making it great. The FOOD was a HIT. Everything ordered was presented beautifully and delicious!!! The executive chef is definitely cooking very very well!!! We loved the Blue Crab Ragoon App as well as the Crab Cakes. There was nothing left on the plates. For entrées we had Banana Foster Pain Perdu, Side of Duck Bacon, Hashbrown, 100% Seafood Gumbo and Fried Catfish. Everything was seasoned to perfection and hot!!! Last but definitely not least are the Cocktails which were very good. Try the Cold Brew Martini if you like iced coffee type drinks and also try the Strawberry Lemon drop for a sweet treat. Both taste great and have a nice amount of spirits in them. This is a must try in NOLA. Will definitely return!!

    Biscuits and gravy is my go to breakfast and they were great here. The gravy had a tasty flavor…read morethat was very nice, the biscuits were a bit small and the serving size wasn't huge. I added hash browns and bacon. 4 pieces of bacon in a side order and it was nice and crispy. The hash browns were patty similar to the frozen kind you can buy, not sure if they came in a box frozen or not but they were served nice and crispy. The team were all very friendly and service was great. I probably wouldn't go out of my way for a return visit but wouldn't avoid eating here either

You have to wait in line to order/pay so depending on how difficult the group(s)/people(s) orders are ahead of you, will dictate how fast this process will go. The place is much bigger than I initially expected. There are 2 floors with seating. It would be hard to accommodate a large party but there's plenty of seating. I live the old 80's/90's theme and decor. Such a great throwback. We ordered 2 drip coffees (you get them in a to-go cups but you can get free refills), and the Grand Slam McMuffin. Both were great. Wish the sandwiches were bigger for the price you pay. $11.50 for a breakfast sandwich is pretty steep, but it's the price you pay considering everything is homemade. I would also like to point out that there is a discrepancy on the price of adding an egg. The menu says it's $2 more but we were charged $2.50. They should really update their menu or be upfront about it. Overall a great place to have a great breakfast. * Please note that you're not allowed to have someone save a table while another waits in line to order. You must order first before being allowed to take a table.

We've been a huge fan of Chef Cook over the years and we're really sad to see this gem closing. We decided to share a bunch of small plates and split a main dish. I got the frozen espresso martini to start which was refreshing on a hot summer day. We got the house salad, oyster BLT, pork belly & watermelon, bowl of gumbo and my mom's chicken and dumplings. The gumbo was my favorite starter and it's really hard to share a bowl because you want it all to yourself! I really enjoyed the oyster BLT with the crunchy oysters and crispy pork belly pieces. The main of chicken and dumplings is the epitome of comfort food. The service was amazing and staff is attentive. The food came out pretty quickly but we weren't rushed. Before leaving we made another reservation for this upcoming weekend before we have to say goodbye for good.

    Luzianne Cafe, which is based on the nostalgic tea brand of all our southern kiddos childhood, sits…read moreabout two blocks off of Poydras at the corner of Constance and Girod, and is a bright, open, well maintained cafe serving up breakfast and lunch classics in addition to a full bar that includes frozen boozy drinks...because New Orleans! We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and drinks at Luzianne. Minor things noted, mainly on the cook of the eggs, but nothing awful. It his the spot and checked the boxes!

I went by their recommendations and got the boudin Benedict, since that's not something I would find outside of NOLA.
