    Over priced ! $1.49 for a chocolate donut Service was great through drive thru. Pay cash if you can

    This is my 2nd time getting an inedible bacon, egg & cheese croissant. I've ordered this meal so many times in the past with NO problem. It's like they drench the croissant in grease. I took the egg & bacon off and will have to just eat that with some toast because there's no way I can eat that greasy croissant.

    Western Omelet
    Ashley F.

    A cafe type joint that I think is a nice spot to grab a bite that's not fast food. Gives me a Waffle House type vibe, but more upscale. Lolol. I ordered the Western Omelet and added cheese grits. The omelet was nothing special, as the eggs were not fluffy, in which that is what I like. The grits were lumpy, and the food came out lukewarm. Decent lil spot if you want to sit down and get food that's not fast food but reasonably priced.

    06FEB24 ~ The King Cake was good, similar in taste & quality to most of the other major King Cake providers. Because of the manner in which it was packaged about 40% of the icing stuck to the plastic. The price was, again, right in line with the major King Cake suppliers. The service was weak. The young woman behind the counter did her job but in facial expressions, voice, & mannerisms did nothing to tell me she liked her job & was definitely not happy about doing her job.

    Absolutely sweetest employees EVER! The beignets were made to order so they were sooo fresh. Crunchy outside and melt in your mouth inside. They are a bit on the smaller side, but they offered glazed AND powdered which I thought was so unique! I also got a med mocha which was delicious. Definitely recommend going here! The place is so cute and small and even has a drive thru (so convenient!) In total I spent $13 for 8 beignets and a medium coffee.

    Great cafe! All the things they need to excel on -- coffee, breakfast, and donuts; they do it right! The club sandwich looks delicious. Can't wait to try that next.

    My favorite drink is back! It's the matcha coconut water which I believe is a spring and summer…read moreseasonal drink now, and it's as good as I remember. The drink was $7.14 which isn't too bad, but the taste is great. It's very refreshing and not heavy at all. I came on a Sunday morning and the inside was a little busy, so I decided to sit outside. They have maybe 4 tables outside with music playing so it was quite nice. One more thing -- i really like the cup lid. Sometimes you'll go to a place and the lid makes it really hard to get an even stir/shake but with their lid it's so easy as you just plug the top with a finger and shake. Small detail but it's something I appreciated. The matcha coconut water is a must try!

Like where have I been?! We are forever grateful for that alone. As someone who already loves Vietnamese culture through food here in New Orleans, this place just hits. Vietnamese coffee is a staple for me--not even for energy, but for the flavor. If you know, you know... that bold, strong, chicory-meets-condensed-milk moment. It's rich, it's cultural, it's intentional. And when you start adding things like pandan cold foam? Simple, but it speaks volumes about the influence and beauty of the Vietnamese community here. I respect it, deeply. Now let's talk about that Croffle... a croissant-waffle situation. I went with the Chantilly and berries because... you already know, I'm gonna choose what feels like home every time. The cream was smooth, the fruit was fresh, everything worked. My only thing--personally--it was a little heavy on the almonds for me. Still good, just my preference. We also had The American--eggs, bacon, French ham, hand-cut fries, garlic aioli, and a baguette. I shared it with my son and made my own little sandwich moment with it. Used the aioli as a base, layered the eggs, bacon, and ham... and I feel like that's exactly what it was meant for. Solid, simple, and filling. I've tried a few other things too like the bánh mì and donuts. The bánh mì was good, donuts were okay... not my go-to for that. But that frozen cocktail? Listen... it was TOO good. Took it to a festival with me and between that drink and that sun, I slept the whole festival away lol. Overall, I'll definitely be back. I still want to try more from the kitchen--especially that chicken everybody keeps talking about. This is a great spot for early weekend brunch, late evening studying, or weekday coffee runs. Not too small, not too big. Beautiful lighting. A really good addition to Gretna.

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. Got a huge sausage egg and cheese sandwich with the fluffiest eggs that was also super yummy. My 18 month old ate half of it. Would definitely return.

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!!

    I was stopping through New Orleans and wanted breakfast food. I'm so glad I tried this restaurant…read more It absolutely lived up to the hype! It's a trendy diner/cafe vibe inside and all the staff are really nice. I am gluten sensitive so having gluten free options was a plus for me. I went on a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait. I ordered the Bearcat breakfast with bison sausage. Never had bison sausage but it was absolutely delicious. The potatoes were cooked perfectly crispy and seasoned very well. The eggs were also scrambled perfectly. Everything was so good! I opted for the gluten free pancakes on the side. They were good for GF. I think they put banana in them for the texture which was nice. The syrup made the pancakes for me. What I absolutely loved was the Golden Latte! It was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The espresso was good and the flavors were well balanced and it wasn't super sweet (which I appreciated). I would absolutely come back here!

Point of note is that they are busy, you sign up for seating from a screen out front of the cafe, and gratuity is added on all check with 2 or more persons. These could've been a deterrent for me, but everything changed when the food arrived. We were greeted by our server Edwin, and he presented the menu to us, which at first glance can be intimidating. He gave insight to the specials and took our drink orders. I had a late to drink which was good, and my wife had the chai. We asked for help to narrow our food choice down and his recommendations were spot on. We share one pancake according to the recommendation of our server which was fluffy, soft and delightful with the syrup and butter. I had the open face biscuit with crab. I think it was called the Cat Momma Biscuit. It came with a sunny egg and beurre blanc sauce. It was absolutely delicious. My wife had the special steak quesadilla that came with fresh salsa, avocado, and sour cream. It was also amazing. We also had a side of the breakfast potatoes which were a little salty in my opinion, but still a popular favorite amongst locals. There was so much to choose from in terms of food and drinks. They have their own bottle beverages which we ordered a ginger lemonade, and a Fuji Apple Oolong tea to go. Both were great. I can't say enough about the food and bottle beverages . This place is a must!

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.
