    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    The space

    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.

Joel is professional and kind; He's full of personality and definitely knows his stuff!! I highly recommend having a reservation. We were seated immediately due to having a reservation. The vibe of the location is the best. The colors and setting will brighten up your day. We'll thought out set up. Our server Aurry was amazing. She provided great service and awesome recommendations from drinks, apps and eats! Her personality was very pleasant and sweet. She was attentive but not overwhelming at all. Both Aurry and Joel contributed to the overall experience making it great. The FOOD was a HIT. Everything ordered was presented beautifully and delicious!!! The executive chef is definitely cooking very very well!!! We loved the Blue Crab Ragoon App as well as the Crab Cakes. There was nothing left on the plates. For entrées we had Banana Foster Pain Perdu, Side of Duck Bacon, Hashbrown, 100% Seafood Gumbo and Fried Catfish. Everything was seasoned to perfection and hot!!! Last but definitely not least are the Cocktails which were very good. Try the Cold Brew Martini if you like iced coffee type drinks and also try the Strawberry Lemon drop for a sweet treat. Both taste great and have a nice amount of spirits in them. This is a must try in NOLA. Will definitely return!!

    Cracked Brunch was a little bit of a mixed bag for me, but there were definitely some highlights…read morethat would bring me back! I ordered the chicken sandwich with mac & cheese on the side. The chicken sandwich itself was really good and honestly ended up being the star of my meal. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and the sandwich was filling enough that I was perfectly fine eating it on its own. Unfortunately, my mac & cheese was cold in the middle, so I sent it back and swapped it for the hash browns. The hash browns weren't really my favorite either, so at that point I just accepted that the chicken sandwich and I were going to ride this thing out together. My husband, on the other hand, is a TRUE breakfast person, so this was much more his territory. He ordered a steak breakfast bowl topped with eggs. He enjoyed it overall, but felt like it could've used a little more seasoning. He ended up asking for some aioli on the side, which helped give it the extra flavor he was looking for. Now the chicken and waffles? THAT was the fun part. The presentation was adorable, with the chicken served alongside the waffle cone-style presentation, and naturally I ended up eating most of his chicken. The chicken was really good, and even though I'm not a huge waffle person, I tried some of the waffle too and enjoyed what I had. It was definitely the more memorable dish at the table. I also really liked the atmosphere. It's cute, bright, and feels made for brunch, so aesthetically they understood the assignment. Overall, there were some execution issues with my sides, especially being served mac & cheese that was cold in the center, but the chicken dishes were good enough that I still enjoyed the experience. My husband enjoyed his breakfast overall, and I'd come back and give them another shot. Next time, though, I'm sticking with the chicken because clearly that's where they had me.

You have to wait in line to order/pay so depending on how difficult the group(s)/people(s) orders are ahead of you, will dictate how fast this process will go. The place is much bigger than I initially expected. There are 2 floors with seating. It would be hard to accommodate a large party but there's plenty of seating. I live the old 80's/90's theme and decor. Such a great throwback. We ordered 2 drip coffees (you get them in a to-go cups but you can get free refills), and the Grand Slam McMuffin. Both were great. Wish the sandwiches were bigger for the price you pay. $11.50 for a breakfast sandwich is pretty steep, but it's the price you pay considering everything is homemade. I would also like to point out that there is a discrepancy on the price of adding an egg. The menu says it's $2 more but we were charged $2.50. They should really update their menu or be upfront about it. Overall a great place to have a great breakfast. * Please note that you're not allowed to have someone save a table while another waits in line to order. You must order first before being allowed to take a table.

The main of chicken and dumplings is the epitome of comfort food. The service was amazing and staff is attentive. The food came out pretty quickly but we weren't rushed. Before leaving we made another reservation for this upcoming weekend before we have to say goodbye for good.

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice.
