Rude service from start to finish. We added ourselves to the waitlist because they had a…read morereservation available, yet watched several families get seated ahead of us while we continued waiting. We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children (one being only 2 years old), and because of that they changed our table type from a 4-top to a 5-top and made us wait an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple tables became available that easily could have accommodated us, but the hostess was determined to keep telling us we had to wait. To make matters worse, there was open bench seating in the back where customers ordering to-go could sit. I offered to order food to-go so we could at least sit down and get started while waiting, and she told me if I did that they would remove our name from the waitlist because "you have to pick one or the other." No willingness to problem solve whatsoever. She repeatedly said she was "sorry," but her actions showed the opposite. I was simply trying to work together to find some reasonable solution instead of continuing to watch everyone else get seated while our family, including small children, kept waiting. Absolutely horrible customer service experience.

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.

Their coffee is also really good and pairs perfectly with the food. The staff does a great job keeping up with the rush. The only downsides come down to space and logistics: Limited Seating: There is very little room inside, so it fills up fast. Outdoor Seating & Smoking: Because inside is tight, you often have to sit outside. Unfortunately, people were smoking in the outdoor seating area, which makes for a pretty unpleasant experience if you're trying to enjoy your food and fresh air. Parking: It can be quite a hassle to find a spot on busy days, so be prepared to circle the block. Overall, the food and drinks are a 5/5 and absolutely worth the trip, just keep the seating and parking limitations in mind if you're planning to stay and eat!

Beignets for breakfast? Check out Loretta's!…read more Sweet or savory?? We went for the praline filled beignets. Flaky fresh hot beignets filled with warm, gooey praline sauce. Served in sets of three. So decadently delicious. They only have one savory option here and we don't eat crawfish. The other locations also have beignets filled with chicken, eggs and crab. Lots of other sweet options here. Chocolate. Peanut butter and jelly. Or just plain beignets. Line moves quickly. Order and then grab a table and wait for your beignets. This was recommended by our Lyft driver, Joseph. Just ask a local.

We ordered one crab beignet each and grabbed a table nearby. The crab lumps inside were super tender and savory, I loved every single bite of it! I thought it was flavorful enough without the sauce so i didn't add much of it but my friends really liked the sauce as well. I wish the beignet itself was a bit more fluffy but I could eat the crab filling all day. Would definitely come back again!

Best thing: The Spumoni Ice Cream and the Baked Alaska…read more Type of Food: Sicilian/Italian Desserts, Gelato, and Pastries. Review: Angelo Brocato is a classic stop if you're looking for great sweet treats. The Spumoni Ice Cream was incredibly good, and the Baked Alaska definitely didn't disappoint either--both are highly recommended. We also tried the Rum Custard; while it was perfectly fine, it just didn't quite live up to how great the other items were. On the upside, the prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the service was quick and efficient, meaning you won't have to wait long to get your sugar fix. Cons: Parking is highly limited and can be quite difficult to find around the shop. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up (Definitely would go back!)

Croissant D'Or Patisserie is located in the former home of Angelo Brocato's ice cream parlor…read more Angelo Brocato moved to a new location but its name is still in the tile on the floor at the entrance. This French bakery offers authentic pastries, hand-made croissants, brunch fare, & espresso drinks. The high-ceilings, white tile, and marble tabletops emit a European café vibe. There is also a charming courtyard if you want to soak in some sunshine. I first learned about this bakery when staying at the Hotel Villa Convento across the street. They served their buttery rich croissants as part of their continental breakfast. (I'm not sure if they still do.) Now that I have a house in the Quarter, I take a morning stroll over here to pick up croissants to take home. The butter croissants are a bargain at $3.50. I also love the chocolate & almond (both are $3.95 each), as well as the crisp & flaky Palmiers & delicate Almond Florentines. When I have guests, I bring them back a Ham & Cheese Croissant - a bargain at $5.50. They always ask me to bring another the next day.

The place is very simple inside, not a ton of tables but that adds to the simple feel. They did have a garbage bin that was overflowing which took away from the look. But the ladies behind the counter were pretty busy. I got a triple chocolate brownie and an affogato with the espresso ice cream. The affogato was a good serving size but it was a struggle to eat. The satisfying taste I associate with affogato wasn't there and the Gelato just wasn't smooth. The brownie was okay, I was expecting something more decadent. Serving: You order at the counter. Drinks: Basically beverage options. Seating: There's some seating inside and outside. Pets: You're good outside. Parking: Street parking.
