I've walked past this place so many times thinking it was closed, but I finally stopped in while…read morelooking for a coffee shop to work from--and I'm so glad I did. The service was amazing from the start. Now let's talk about the food. I wasn't even planning to order anything, but it smelled too good to ignore. I went with something simple--a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit--but there was nothing simple about it. It came out hot and fresh, and the biscuit practically melted in my mouth. I was honestly surprised by how fresh everything tasted. The shop itself is really cute, with funky music playing in the background and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I'm already determined to become a regular here--I want them to know me by name! I can't wait to come back and try more of their treats.

I walked in and was ready to order but had to step out after seeing flies on the bagels and other pastries. My suggestion would be to find a way to seal off the pastry area to prevent bugs, add some ambiance to the location with welcoming decorations. The service was great I just couldn't find it in me to order any food after witnessing flies on what I wanted to order. I ended up walking out to try out a different coffee shop.

Similarly my Vietnamese coffee, called cå phé sü då, was delicious and not too sweet. The cashier was perfectly sweet too. I'll take my coffee with a double shot of kindness any day. The pastries are great too. They catered our event across the street, which is how I got turned onto it. There's seating inside along with a comfortable neighborhood vibe and a couple of tables out front. Clearly a chill place to hang for whatever purpose. No matter where you live, you wish there was a place like this in your neighborhood. Yeah, all the Elite Yelpers who've reviewed it are a tipoff for certain.

We'll be back!

I dont like cakes refrigerated cause I feel like it dries it out more... try it out for yourself. I give all the star cause last time I came i had a boudin roll. It wasn't called roll but it was good. Soft yeast roll time with filling boudin, cheese amd something else. Best thing ive had from there. If there was more filling it would be perfect. The roll to filling ratio was off. It was mostly bread. Staff is always great. Respectful amd nice whenever I visit. Parking is street parking. I've never been when its busy so always able to get a spot.

The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, both about books and the coffee. Every single coffee drink I've tried is absolutely outstanding. My favorite so far is If Beale Street Could Talk, a cayenne-infused mocha. It is spicy, smoky and delicious. The bookstore is lovely, too. They have plenty of events, and there are always at least a few crowds hanging around. Their selection is lovely and I always find a few new books to read. Beautiful outdoor patio, plus they have a small recording studio for podcasts (I think) and a bunch of tables, games, puzzles, etc. I love this spot! I think about their drinks all the time

When we visited, it was crowded, but there was an event going on outside. Additionally, groups were there to meet and have coffee and chat. They have a coffee bar that appears to be well appointed. The book selection is wonderful. So many James Baldwin titles, including some you don't see regularly. They do online orders, so if you are looking for Baldwin books or books on Black history/social justice, consider buying from this Black owned business instead of Amazon. They also have a beautiful air bnb for rent. As mentioned in other reviews, this is in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhood and can be made part of a full day of activities, including JamNola and Allways Lounge and great restaurants.

Trekked over here on a Sunday afternoon and waited in line for about 10 minutes before being…read moreserved. The interior was pretty cramped based on their layout so it felt chaotic at times. What I got: Kaya bun (10/5) -- no sweetness whatsoever, just pure coconut pandan flavor coming through. Custard had the perfect consistency--thick, creamy, and has a slight egginess that, if you are familiar with dan taat, will appreciate--and did not leech any moisture into the pastry. Also love the choice of coating in dessicated coconut since it again did not add any sweetness and the fineness melted in your mouth with each bite. Pastry itself was buttery and tender with a slight chew crawssant (5/5) -- a seasonal item of twice baked croissant filled with crawfish and mozzarella. Buttery, flaky, gooey with a kiss of heat...it was fun and satisfying to eat not to mention filling. Surely, I will return to pick up some pastries for my loved ones back home.

There was a casual, welcoming, as well as comfortable atmosphere to the place. Bacon Praline. Chef's kiss. This was the best bacon I have ever had! It was satisfyingly crispy, absolutely mouthwatering, expertly candied, topped with a generous dusting of praline, giving it an additional sweet taste and adding another layer of deliciousness to it. For my brunch meal, I ordered the Smothered Smoked Pork Chops with potatoes, eggs, and biscuit. The Pork Chops were tender with great smoky flavor, while the accompanying white, savory sauce was tasty and well seasoned with bits of meat. It was just a bit too fatty for me. Potatoes were also yummy, cooked perfectly, and slightly crispy. I requested the eggs to be fried over hard, and it was a bit weird, because seemed the yolk seemed to be mixed in. It was also a little bland. Biscuit was too dry. Overall, this was a nice place to have brunch. Service was solid. The waitress was very friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. I would consider returning just to get the Bacon Praline again! I was also intrigued by the Waffle and Duck Hash with sweet potato, so want to try that dish.
