The beignets were dry and lacked flavor, and instead of a nice dusting of powdered sugar, there were huge clumps of it piled on top. Powdered sugar can't make up for a dry beignet. The coffee wasn't any better. It had a strong burnt taste that made it difficult to enjoy. I understand Cafe Du Monde is an iconic New Orleans stop with tons of history, but based on the food and coffee alone, I just don't understand the hype. There are much better beignets in New Orleans. Service was average very touristy Overrated, disappointing, and definitely a one-and-done for me. I wouldn't return.

Wish we got a couch versus the normal boring chairs, but it was fine. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered the boozy versions of course. The ice cream flavors were amazing! I honestly can't remember them all, but I think the zulu was my favorite of the night. The portions were PERFECT. Such a treat, they even had the world cup playing so bonus points for them. Highly recommended for a night out!

It kind of ruined the sundae I wish I didn't even pour it on. Really should work on that considering it's an affogato place.

The iced London Fog lattes I discovered are premade, which overall my wife thought was alright, but she liked that they had gluten free blueberry muffins. The chocolate croissant was solid. The service was prompt and friendly. And the decor had a rustic ambiance with the brick walls, dark book shelving and garden patio in the back. The coffee bar has a hidden quality about it that is alluring and appealing. It was good to check out before we concluded our recent stay in NOLA.

We ordered an Avocado Bowl, and Biscuits and Gravy. They were both good! Nothing too special about them. Avocado bowl is more like a salad topped with avocado. Biscuits were soft and gravy was light! I am such a gravy girl. The service was good. Staff was friendly. We were sat immediately. Our busser was so sweet and nice. He was so fast to clear our dishes. However it did take a while to get our bill. The place is like a cute breakfast dinner. There was a second floor option, but we didn't get to explore because 2nd floor is outside and it was humid that day. In conclusion, a good breakfast spot. However, I much prefer the "Camp St." location over this one.

The Vintage - New Orleans, LA…read more The Vintage on Magazine Street was our very first food stop in New Orleans, and it turned out to be a great way for my wife and me to start our trip. From the moment we walked in, I really liked the atmosphere. The place has a cool, relaxed New Orleans vibe with a little bit of an upscale café feel without being overly fancy. It's the kind of spot where you can come in, sit down, enjoy some good food and drinks, and just take your time. Of course, we couldn't come to New Orleans and not start things off with beignets! We decided to go with the Fancy Beignet Flight, which gave us a chance to try several different flavors. We got the raspberry, s'mores, and Chantilly. They came out looking almost too good to eat, covered in powdered sugar with all the different fillings and toppings. Almost... because we definitely ate them! They were warm, sweet, messy in the best possible way, and a fun introduction to our New Orleans food adventure. For my meal, I ordered the Italian Panini with the truffle Parmesan fries. The sandwich was packed with meat, cheese, and flavor. Looking at that cross-section, they definitely weren't being stingy with the fillings! The bread was toasted nicely, and everything worked well together. The truffle fries were another highlight. They had plenty of seasoning and Parmesan and paired perfectly with the sandwich. I also grabbed a small iced mocha, which went really well with the food and especially the beignets. One thing I really enjoyed about The Vintage was the atmosphere. The interior has a lot of character, from the marble tables and vintage-style flooring to the bar and pastry display. It feels like a place that belongs on Magazine Street. It was comfortable enough that we didn't feel rushed and could just enjoy being in New Orleans together. The service was good during our visit, and everything came together for a really enjoyable first meal in the city. Our bill came to around $48 after tax and tip for the two of us, and considering we had a sandwich, upgraded fries, drinks, and the beignet flight, I thought it was a good experience for the money. Most importantly, this place gave my wife and me a great start to our New Orleans trip. When your first stop includes a loaded Italian panini, truffle Parmesan fries, iced coffee, and a whole flight of beignets, you know the trip is starting off right! Definitely a place I would visit again. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great first taste of New Orleans. 5 stars from us!

Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!
