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!

Dough Nguyener's Bakery -- 4…read more Dough Nguyener's really introduced me and my son to the flavors of ube and pandan... and I still can't believe I went my whole life without them. 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.

The bakery has a light, airy, and intentional vibe that balances the rigorous standards of a serious artisan kitchen with the warmth of a local neighborhood spot. The baked goods are truly some of the best in New Orleans. The technical execution is flawless, and you can taste the high standards in every item. My absolute must-haves are the breakfast sandwiches and the croissants. The crisp, buttery layers are perfect. Highly recommend!

Probably would get the plain one next time. The large king cakes come in a large rectangle with dark golden brown dough and lots of very fine gold, purple, green sugar on top....looks more impressive than 95% of the other king cakes which can be slathered with too much white icing, use coarse sugar, or have dough on the yellow side instead of golden brown. We also got almond croissant which was delicious, especially after a bit of time in the toaster oven. The chocolate croissant is unique for its layer of chocolate glaze on top.

They went through the books and also offered suggestions. When we picked up the cake, we were excited about how things came out! They gave directions on what we needed to do, and the owner carried the cake out to the car for us. On top of the decorations, the cake was delicious!! Everyone said how good the cake was, not too too sweet and moist. My mother froze a couple of pieces and my dad has been eating it lately, still raving about how good it is!! I will be using Sweet Generations for my cake needs. Until we meet again!!

The tiramisu foam the shop makes is made from scratch so it's all fresh! The coffee tasted really good, but the caffeine definitely hits you instantly since it's a cold brew mixed with that tiramisu foam. Overall, still a recommended coffee place in the West Bank area!

If you're looking for an authentic, delicious King Cake, Antoine's delivers…read more This fantastic Black-owned bakery knows exactly what they're doing. The King Cake was fresh, soft, and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, with just the right amount of icing and traditional Mardi Gras flair. The texture was spot on: light, fluffy, and flavorful in every bite. You can taste the quality and care that goes into their baking. It feels like a true neighborhood staple and a place worth supporting. Highly recommend during Carnival season or anytime you're craving something special.

Not wanting to leave empty-handed...I grabbed a slice of cake and some sweet potato pie...and let me tell you...both were absolutely excellent...rich, flavorful, and worth every bite...that alone convinced me it would be worth making a return trip...so much so...I actually changed my travel plans from 4am to 6am just to try those beignets. The next morning...I arrived right at 6am...along with about five other customers already waiting outside...we stood there expecting the doors to open...but after a while...one customer called inside and was told they couldn't open because they didn't have a cashier yet...one by one...everyone left. I stayed until about 6:15am...hoping things would turn around...but eventually had to leave as well. That was definitely disappointing...especially knowing they lost at least five or more customers that morning. I'm really hoping this was just a one-time situation...because based on the cake and pie alone...this place has something special...I'll definitely give them another shot on my next visit... but hopefully next time...the service matches the quality of the desserts.
