My new favorite coffee breakfast spot in the bywater! Fantastic food at good prices always makes me happy. And the aesthetic is so cool. You'll love the cute courtyard in the back, and cool art work and murals inside. I had the 3 egg kale omelette, and the peanut butter cookie crumble pancake with caramel drizzle. Word in the street is you can get a slice of Dong Phuong king cake here for Mardi gras. The lunch sandwiches here look pretty awesome as well, I'll be back often!

Green breakfast sandwich on sourdough
Kermeka D.

We enjoyed a nice casual brunch here. You order and pay at the counter and thet bring you your food and drinks and you bus your own dishes when done. The green sandwich was tasty and comes on your choice of a bagel, croissant or toast. The lemon lavender pancakes were so delicious and they were veey generous with the lemon curd. We did not even need the pancake syrup since the curd was so tasty in itself. The cinammon brown sugar latte was pretty but not sweet enough for me. They do have a section with milk and sugar etc. if you need to doctor your drinks. Others in our group got the breakfast plate, thr breakfast burrito, and the cuban sandwich. All were satisfied with the food and portion sizes.

Matcha lemonade

Cute and casual spot for a quick bite before starting my vacation day. Service was quick and the food tasted great. Not too heavy and the ambiance was quite relaxing.

chocolate chip cookies

Food was decent, but these cookies were very good! A great place to stop if wanting to eat outside the "city" area!

Mexican Breakfast Plate
Liza S.

It had been a while since I last went to Satsuma, and I'm glad I did. This was my first time visiting the Dauphine St. location (I went to the Maple St. one a handful of times) and enjoyed the location. I ordered an iced dirty chai and the Mexican breakfast plate. For the most part, I enjoyed the breakfast. However, the tortillas were cold and stiff and there was hardly any salsa. If you are going to prominently list salsa as one of the ingredients, I would expect more than a teaspoon of it. Overall, I'd be happy going back and trying other things from the menu. I saw a few people eating pancakes that looked very very tasty.

Great food and coffee, especially like the pancakes with real maple syrup! Soothing music, local art beautifies the space. Staff is always welcoming and brings your food to the table.

Soggy spinach with half yes HALF an egg and a bite of avocado. That's how it arrived for $13.68
Grace B.

This was a total bummer. I came to New Orleans for the food. We were staying nearby and most eateries were closed as it was a weekday so we came here a few times. Breakfast was fine so we can by for lunch. I got the worst salad I've ever had. If you want to spend $13.68 for a bunch of soggy spinach and not even two bites of avocado you've come to the right place. The people working inside could have been kinder too. I went to use the bathroom and they demanded you stand in a certain spot. Don't mind doing that just could have asked kindly. I'd skip this spot.

Green eggs minus the ham on a toasted everything bagel.
Desiree D.

Cute cafe in the bywater - friendly staff - adorable cafe cat that will come in. However, i feel everything is a bit overpriced for what it is. I believe i paid about 7.50 for a green eggs and ham on a bagel. to be fair, it was good (minus the ham), but it was lacking pesto in the egg. i wish there were more cheese too. overall it was an overpriced mediocre egg n cheese sandwhich at best. Theres plenty of juices to choose from, but they too are a bit overpriced.

Avocado Toast
Meva B.

I came here for breakfast this morning with a friend. We sat outside and it was nice and quiet. A cute cat came by and there were a few birds outside in the trees next to our table. My friend and I both ordered the avocado toast. It was small for $8, I was pretty surprised. Also, it didn't taste particularly good, the avocado mash was really bland. I also had a lemonade which was nice. Overall, it's a nice environment but would recommend trying something other than the avocado toast.

My husband and I both have Celiac Disease (gluten free) and we're vegetarians. We visited here on our trip to New Orleans for brunch. This is a small and charming cafe-style joint with a nice patio. It's not a dedicated kitchen but the staff happily prepared us an egg sandwich on housemade GF bread as well as an eggs & black beans breakfast with housemade tortillas. They cleaned off surfaces to prepare our meals. My husband and I are both very sensitive and felt fine after this meal. Amazing coffee here, too.

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 ordered the macchiato, but they said that's a small drink, they changed it to a latte for me, I also ordered the breakfast sandwich with egg sausage and cheese. To add sausage, avocado, or bacon add $2. They also have pastries, sandwiches specials and bagels for fans they offer LIX and a bagel as well. A good selection for a nice little breakfast snack to start your day. Fast and friendly service. It felt so I prefer that to chain coffee spots. There were some good audience somewhere on the walls and good people watching. I wish they much success.

There's no indoor seating because it's a tiny cute little shop, but they do have tables and chairs outside if you want to hang out. They have all kinds of fruit, milk, and boba teas. I got to try the strawberry fruit tea ($6), and I added some lychee popping pearls to it (For only $0.75 extra, it's SO worth it). It was not overly sweet, delicious, and perfectly refreshing! Just what I needed since it was hot out! I'll have to try their milk teas sometime I got to try their grilled cheese ($6). It was made with colby jack cheese on a bun. (At least, I think, I'm no cheese expert) The bun was good, but the cheese wasn't my favorite. In my opinion, this would be so much better if they used a sharper cheese, but to each their own. I did add imitation crab (+$1) to the grilled cheese, which helped boost the flavor a bit, but I really thought they could have use sauce or seasonings. You may enjoy their grilled cheese though if you're a purist! I also tried their sushi dog ($6). The hot dog was good quality, all beef. This had plenty of sauces and flavor, and much more up-my-alley! It is only half a sausage though, you don't get a whole dog, which was my only complaint. One thing to note: It's completely cashless, so you should definitely bring small bills for tips because you can't break a $20 there! Overall, I would try their other menu items, but I'd skip the grilled cheese. Their drinks seem to be yummy too!

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!

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 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 super 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.
