OMG, how did this place not already have their own business listing on Yelp? For shame! Though I am…read morehappy to get a chance to be the first to review Vintage Garden Kitchen on Yelp, because this is an absolute *gem* of a business, and everyone in the world needs to know about it. Yesterday afternoon, I saw a tweet reminding people to place orders before 4pm, because today (Wednesday) is the day they deliver - yes, that's right, deliver! - their jars of amazingly delicious, healthy, vegetarian-friendly, locally sourced, and [insert list of superlatives and synonyms for the word awesome] soup. Straight from their garden, via the kitchen, to your door. Thanks to the reminder on Twitter, I placed my order online yesterday afternoon for four pints of soup: Fiery Shiitake Mushroom and Barley; Moroccan Chickpea Stew; Rustic Vegetable Bean; and Vegan Lentils and Greens. Each pint comes in a re-usable mason jar, and when you collect six of those, you get a free pint of soup with your next order! Brilliant: it's savvy (saves the business money), and green, and convenient. There's so much win here that I'm having a hard time putting it into words. Long story sort: The Vintage Garden Kitchen is an Arc Enterprises Company, meaning that not only do they provide amazing food (AND DELIVER IT TO YOUR DOOR!), but also, in doing so they provide employment for adults with developmental disabilities. (They're one of the businesses run by the nonprofit Arc of Greater New Orleans.) I've seen the garden where they grow all the food that is used to make these amazing soups, and it blows my mind that food this fresh, this nutritious, and this beautifully convenient is available in New Orleans. But wait, it gets better: their food is shockingly affordable. A half pint of, say, Moroccan Chickpea Stew feeds 2 people, and costs $4.99. The minimum order for delivery is $15, so for four pints I paid about $22.00, and it was delivered the very next day. How. Awesome. Is. That. Seriously. They deliver every Wednesday between 10am and 2pm, and orders must be placed before 4pm on Tuesday to ensure delivery. They deliver to 70001, 70005, 70115, 70118, 70119 (yay!), 70124, and 70125. Again, the minimum order for delivery is $15 (so, approximately three pints, or two quarts, blah blah math and stuff). They take credit cards, it's easy to place an order online, and you can also order in two other ways. Either pre-order for pick-up (and you can come get your soups between 8am and 4pm M-F), or if you don't want to pre-order, you can simply stop by during business hours. Walk-ins are welcome, too! So...yeah. Amazing, amazing, amazing. I'm so glad the Vintage Garden Kitchen exists. I highly recommend you give them a try. Then you, too, can write your very own rave review of this freaking awesome local business. Well done, Vintage Garden Kitchen. Well done. And THANKS!

Bring back your mason jars (I think if you bring 10 back you get a pint free) & bring your leftover grocery/walmart/target/etc bags to help them out as well. SO MANY great soups!!! Some of my favorite are the Yellow Split Pea soup, Mushroom and Asparagus, Moroccan Chickpea Stew; Rustic Vegetable Bean, Roasted Buternut Squash, Chicken & Andouille Gumbo, Sweet Roasted Pepper & Carrot, Veggie Tortilla Soup, Smothered Chicken with Rice & Greens - SO MANY GREAT SOUPS!!!! The location is a little out of the way, on Labarre south of Airline Highway across the railroad tracks, but definetly worth the trip!!!!

It was in our home, where I set up a romantic setting and she was our personal chef. I purchased a 6 course meal and requested her to serve and describe each dish. The food was prepared fresh and from scratch. Our menu consist of : 1st course( hors d'oeuvre) Mini Crab Cakes w/Remoulade Sauce 2nd course(soup) Chicken & Sausage Gumbo w/White Rice 3rd course (salad) Garden Salad Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing 4th course ( (Palate) Vodka Lemon Sorbet 5th Course (main) Pan Fried Redfish Rice Pilaf Green Beans 6th (dessert) Turtle cheesecake. Her presentation was that of a 5 star restaurant and the taste of it ALL was exquisite. Chef Melissa was accommodating to all of our needs, flexible, professional and had the most pleasant personality and demeanor about herself. This was definitely an experience my husband and I will never forget. I will be using her in the near future for all of my catering needs.

Since it was raining on and off Sunday, and it wasn't as many people , I only had to wait about 5-10 minutes in line. I ordered the biscoff cheesecake and it was really good. I had 2 small complaints. One being that it didn't come in a to go box (since it is pretty big and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it out there). I understand the box cost money, but I think if she offered a to go option in a box for $2 more people would purchase it. Second complaint was just that the cheesecake wasn't really cold or firm how I like it, but I blame that on the weather. I put my piece in the freezer when I got home and when I ate it the next day it was so much better! So I'm sure if you purchase from one of the stores she sells at you would enjoy it.

The reviews were GREAT, that's the only reason I tried them. Salmon - dry and tasteless. I'm not sure what they're seasoning their food with, but it's not not style. Brussels Sprouts- tasteless again and hard, but it leaves a spicy after taste. BBQ RIBS & Wings - The ribs fell off the bones, however the taste was of pepper and more pepper, I thought it was the sauce so I rinsed them off and it still had that gross pepper taste. Even my eyes started to water. Mac & cheese was pretty tasty per my son Potato salad was DELICIOUS, my FAVORITE!! Baked beans were EXCELLENT ALSO. Finally a sweet flavor that wasn't spicy and it felt like the beans melted in your mouth, they were so GOOOOD. I wanted to like this place, but oh well ‍. The two stars are for the potato salad and the baked beans, everything else was a disappointment. Maybe you guys should do a smoked sweet flavor. But to have it smoked AND peppery was not cool, I choked...BUT that's just me ‍
