Joe&#x27;s Cafe

Love the donuts at Joe's. I went here at least twice during my trip to NOLA last month. They were fresh and very reasonably priced. The sweet tea wasn't very sweet, which is off for the South, but overall, I had a great experience and I'll be going back next time I'm in New Orleans. read more

This is for the buttermilk drops. The best buttermilk drops ever. Slightly beats out Dorignac's, if only because they don't run out as fast. When I'm back in town, this is where I get my stash. Then head to Moe's for the muffaletta. Then off to the park to see the gators if you're on vacay. All are completely worth it. read more

I regularly patronize this restaurant because of the decent food and service, but I recently placed an order via Uber App to get a buy one get one free for pickup. I was on my way to pick my order up but then I got an alert stating I already picked the order up. I was too busy to address the issue at the time so I placed a separate order for delivery that night. I spoke to Kayla and Ava about either getting a refund or picking my order up but I was told it was an Uber issue while Uber is saying to contact the store. Not happy with the result hoping I can get my order or refund or I will stop patronizing the store going forward and go thru my bank to get a refund. read more

Joe's glazed beignets were my favorite beignets in all of new orleans. We got them warm and they were so moist inside. What a unique way to make beignets. I normally find beignets to be too "bready" and dry, but not these glazed ones. These were flakey, buttery, and so delicious. read more

Breakfast all day, but why bother? This local chain's loyal following baffles me. It's like the grumpy McKenzie's counterladies, but the food isn't good enought to be worth the bad treatment. My second visit to a Joe's, since it was between my son's school and my doctor appointment. Cold hash browns and, somehow, cold sunnyside up eggs. Service good if you're a regular, based on what I saw, but I'm not, so while other tables got "You okay, babe?" I got my plate shoved in from behind with no comment and then was ignored. read more

This replaced the Tasty's donuts joint that I grew up with most of my life. Joes is okay, but doesn't compare to them honestly. I do like some of the stuff here. The glazed beignets are probably my favorite thing here. I find that they always have a line and hardly have anything prepared when I come here so I have to park my car and wait, which I HATE. I am not a fan of the traditional donuts here, as I grew up with Tastys and like them a bit more. The icing on the donuts here is a bit on the heavy end. Not a horrible place and will probably come back for more glazed Beignets. read more

Health warning. Do not eat here. Just left the drive thru. The young lady, who was working the drive room. Wiped her nose with her hand. Then proceeded to ask me how could she help me. I told her you could help my by washing your hands, after you wipe your nose. She gave a smug smile and grabbed a bottle of hand sanitizer. I looked at her with Ewwwwww written on my face and said really. I left. If they are so slack in the hand washing procedures. What other health codes are being violated that you can't see? I came home and called, asked to speak to a manager, she didn't seem disgusted at the prospect of the employees actions. So Yelp and health dept do your stuff. The one star is only because I had to leave something. I left pretty disgusted. Everything she has touched in that establishment has been cross contaminated with her bodily fluids.

Poor service. Insulted by server! I'm a trans woman who frequented this location before and after my transition. I was a loyal customer. I came in with my partner late after 11pm on the 23rd of July for a donut and coffee as we often do. When the night waitress came back with our donuts, she said "sorry." Then muttered very very inaudibly "damn boy you know you ugly". She probably thinks I didn't hear, but I did. I cried at the table with my loved one, and could not eat my food. We ended up taking it to go, chugging our coffee and having to eat elsewhere due to the hostility. I felt attacked, denigrated, betrayed, and invalidated by what she had the gall to mutter a foot away from me. All I wanted was a donut and coffee and instead, your unprofessional rude employee made me feel unsafe, uncomfortable, and it was simply VERY uncalled for. I can no longer feel safe eating there and me and my family won't be back. read more

I've been there or gotten delivery a handful of times through Waitr. It's a typical diner, so don't expect a five-star experience. The food I've had has been pretty good, and the donuts are great (try the buttermilk drops or maple bacon log). I would advise against ordering takeout/delivery, because every time I've done so, the order has been wrong. Every time. Example: a patty melt with no cheese and/or no onions (it's supposed to automatically come with both...what's melting when there's no cheese?), ask for pickles only and you get lettuce and tomatoes (say what?), you receive a waffle with no syrup (hmmm), etc. Through Waitr, I've started paying extra to add items that are supposed to included in the basic item price (and are explicitly included in the item description), because I know they'll leave them off if I don't. I don't intend to get delivery again for that reason. It just doesn't make sense. So, go there and enjoy! That way, if something is missing from your order, you can get it remedied without paying an arm and a leg. (P.S. Yes, I know these are all first-world problems, but I'm letting you know, so you can be cautious when appropriate. Go forth and be kind.) read more

History

Established in 1988.

Joe's Cafe is growing! There are 5 locations in the Greater New Orleans area and more on the way. Locations are open 24 hours. The Armand Family opened Joe's Cafe in 1988 to share their family's sweet dough and homestyle cooking recipes with New Orleans. A favorite late-night 24 hour restaurant features a full menu any time of day or night. Our mission is to stick to the basics by offering our customers homemade cooking, starting with our famous donuts. We start our mornings mixing our own secret donut recipe to serve up a variety of favorites. We also focus the same amount of attention to the quality of our food. We are committed to giving our customers a fresh home cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our hearty and flavorful breakfast plates are served all day long. For lunch or dinner, try our delicious handcrafted signature burger on a sweet sourdough bun! Or you can try a variety of favorite comfort food dinners and local favorites including Creole, Cajun and dishes.

Meet the Business Owner: James A.

Welcome to Our Family's Table. James knew at the age of 14 that he had a knack for working restaurants, specifically in the art of donut making. After giving up his first job as a paperboy, James applied for a position with Ms. Helen and Ms. Marilyn, two former nuns who owned a local New Orleans Westbank area donut franchise. James aspired to be a donut cutter, he took the position of donut fryer. With absolutely no "official" training, he paid close attention to the donut cutter and quickly mastered the craft. Those hand-cut tasty morsels (glazed donuts) are today's number "1" best seller for all our present Joe's locations. In 1988 he and his wife Stacey bought their first donut location. James and Stacey, along with their four sons, continued to grow the company to multiple locations founded on the values of hard work, persistence, quality ingredients, great service and value for the customer.

He opted for Meatlover's omelette, hash browns and toast. 25 minutes later breakfast was served. Husband's order was fine: tasty omelette, and the toast was well buttered. Mine? The Swiss was sticking out of the omelette and it was a slice not melted. The cheese inside the omelette was melted, and overall it had good flavor. The hash browns had good flavor, but they were not well done. The biscuit was not buttered - there was butter on the table - and it was nice and dense to support slathering it in jelly.

I got the mango sticky rice donut. It was hard to pick just one, all the flavors seemed so unique. I thought the texture was good & the filling was really delicious. It was a great donut! The iced coffee was good too. I will say - there is not a lot of seating here. The location is quite small. But fun to stop in and grab a donut to-go

Came to this place a few years ago to get a quick omelet with a friend. It was tasty, made with…read morefresh ingredients, filling and reasonably priced. Surprisingly, we were the only patrons there at the time, and our order came out quickly. Fast forward to a Thurs morning a few weeks ago... We checked out this place as we were in a rush and were craving a good omelet. The queue was almost out the door, the place was packed - we never thought we'd get our order in time. It took some time for us to place our order, but in under 15 minutes, our order was out to us. This time, in addition to the classic veggie omelet, we had berry pancakes. The omelets were just as good as they were a few years ago. Portions were ample, food was fresh, and it was reasonably priced. The pancakes left much to be desired, though. There was a single berry atop the 3 pancakes. It was also impossible to get any honey or syrup out of the packets they included in the condiments area. The pancake itself was not too thick, which is nice, but there was nothing to moisten it so we ended up eating very little. The pancake is also advertised and priced as an upgrade from a regular pancake order, when in reality, it is just 3 pancakes with one strawberry. That was quite disappointing so I will probably never get pancakes from here again. I will return for the omelets however!

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.
