    Order the breakfast croissant and a cappuccino. Both were great! Bacon was crisp! Bread was fresh! I even got a little coupon for my next visit. It's such a nice clean looking establishment. Would definitely visit again if I were in the area!

    Called ahead my order. Was ready with in 12 mins Tried the Belgium waffle with banana foster on the side. Delicious. Perfectly sweet ! Also enjoyed the avocado BLT wrapped in spinach. Which I preferred over the hash brown wrap. Loved the BLT. Bacon was crunchy salty and right amount of garlic aioli. I enjoyed it more than the hash brown wrap. Wish the hash brown was crispy. I will be back to check out lunch menu! Also thumbs up for the drive through!

    Cute spot like a cafe coffee bar. Very clean and modern looking. Looks like a new buildout. I had an omelet with cheese, ham, onions, and spinach with toast. My wife had the hash bowl loaded. She really enjoyed it and wants to go back. Service was not bad.

    Love the food & drinks but frankly - this was $23.33 not the kind of cafe you can afford to come to 3x a week. So sad because their frozens give you a good morning jump!

    This was my first time at perks and it was great. Inside was super clean and everyone who works there was very friendly. The food was just very good and for a very good price, you will probably need some salt, pepper, and hot sauce because it is pretty plain jane. The grits were actually some of the best I've ever had they weren't chunky or too watery, they were a perfect consistency and tasted buttery as well. I can't say anything about their coffee, but my friend got an iced coffee and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

    Terrible onion soup! Tasted likes lemons. Eggs were over cooked and service was slow.

    Cute & clean

    This was our first time here. We found it on Yelp & relied on the rating & it did not disappoint. The place is super cute, very clean, friendly staff & the food/coffee were great! We're adding this to our favorite spots when we visit New Orleans/Metairie again!

    Perks Coffee & Cafe: avocado toast on wheat + latte
    Crystal W.

    It's cute & quaint. The customer service purely lacks the essence and I interacted with three different employees. The one that was kind and memorable is the darkest haired Hispanic/Latin woman. Ordered an avocado on wheat toast and an almond milk vanilla latte to dine in totaling close to $11. Out comes my order and ridiculously it's one slice of bread, a heapful of avocado, two tomatoes. It was incredibly salty but after my long flight I was starving and ate anyhow. The latte is especially nice. The right foam consistency that I look for in a latte. I went to the register and mentioned that for future reference in a very happy tone, to turn down the notch with the salt and she nodded and didn't much acknowledge nor apologized! Latte great! Avocado toast - suuuuuuuuuper salty; like their service.

    Salmon toast
    Lynnet P.

    I was not expecting to be wowed but boy was I! This place is outstanding for both the food & the friendly service. I ordered the salmon toast and it's truly the best I've ever had. It has tarragon aioli which amazing and the salmon is Smokey & generous. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits but the flavor profile is bright not overly rich because it has goat cheese. These people know what they're doing. If I lived here I'd be here every week until I've tried everything on the menu, then start all over!

    Italian sandwich shop conveniently located by Tulane!…read more If you have ever been to Italy, you know this iconic focaccia bread sandwich, well here it is in New Orleans! The Roma is probably my favorite because it is more savory. The positano was a little sweeter than I expected with the fig jam. I love the fig jam. Both sandwiches were great and you can't go wrong Price is pricey Bread is oily Parking is street and somewhat difficult to find, had to walk 2 blocks Only has about 3 small tables to sit outside, otherwise you're out of luck. I took it to go since there was no seating. Overall, I'd definitely come back. I think half a sandwich per person would suffice instead of a whole next time. It still tasted good after being in the fridge for a day.

    What is not to love about a sandwich shop who makes their own Italian bread and imports their meats…read moreand cheeses from Italy? Our sandwiches were to die for. I had the Napoli. The prosciutto was heavenly, the sweetness of the fig spread coupled with the spicy Calabrian chilis is out of this world. Sooo good! Mike had the Pisa. Despite the chicken being a perfectly thin cotoletta (yes, I have been taking Italian lessons for the past year ) it was still moist and crispy. The sauce was wonderful and the mozzarella was melted to form the most delightful sandwich. We had planned to get back over there before we left town but failed to. Alas, another reason to come back to NOLA This place is not an eat in establishment but has 3 tables outside for you to enjoy your sandwiches. The young lady who took our order was friendly and pleasant and one of the owners (the mom) chatted with us. Our experience was wonderful. It reminded us of our visits to sandwich shops in Firenze. Panini deliziosi!

    It's rare to step into a restaurant before the doors open, an almost behind-the-scenes experience…read more You get to see what makes people tick and who they really are. In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand. This is the kind of business we should be proud to support as a community. Keep it up.

    I thought Southern's was pretty good overall. The menu offers some unique options, including…read morecreative chicken sandwiches and a few Asian-inspired fusion dishes that go beyond traditional Southern cuisine. I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus. Just keep in mind that most of the menu is fried, so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for a particularly healthy meal.
