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.

It's my favorite splurge in town, so when my birthday weekend rolled around, this is where I chose to spend it... with a vegan cheese wheel (the dates that come with should be eaten at the same time as the cheese and you'll feel like you're eating some caramelized magic. And when Mardi Gras Day rolled around a couple weeks later, as per my tradition, we had brunch here.

They were out of quite a few bottles, but there was still a wide selection. The service was very thoughtful, with the owner serving most of the tables herself. She was even kind enough to give us free glasses of Champagne while our bottle cooled. You will feel cared for here. The real standout though was the food. We had caviar topped deviled eggs, caviar serving, and a wheel of deliciously melted cheese. Everything was gorgeously presented and Instagram worthy. The deviled eggs were incredible. My sister said they were one of the best things she's eaten and she's not a fan of deviled eggs. The caviar was great (of course). The cheese was also excellent and included dates that were remarkably good. The ambiance is very cute. Simple and clean aesthetics that are refined but lightly adorned. This is my 7th time visiting NOLA, and Effervescence is now one of my favorite places in NOLA.

Bad: My wife is pregnant and we generally try to avoid undercooked meat as an added safety. 2 of the 3 first course options aren't fully cooked - which limited her options. I called in advance to ask if they could accommodate and offer at least one additional safe option as a first course and they assured me they could- specifically saying the chef would offer something different for her needs. When we mentioned this to the server, she was pretty curt (read rude) and explained she couldn't accommodate. And the "best she could do" was offer two second course options. But the tone and demeanor felt a bit like she had to explain to us how a prix fixe menu works- it was a tad condescending. This was the start of dinner and kind of soured the evening for me. Everyone else was great, but I was stunned at the tone, demeanor, and condescension displayed by that particular server. Wouldn't go back as a result.

For our fourth wedding anniversary, we chose the four-course menu and had a true five-star experience. From the amuse-bouche to the final case of sweet treats after dinner, every presentation and flavor was exceptional. Restaurant August excels at hospitality, and the dining room's warm tones create an inviting atmosphere, especially after sunset when the chandeliers and candlelight begin to glow. We also appreciated how thoughtfully the wines by the glass paired with the menu options. Honestly, we struggled to choose a favorite dish because every course was memorable and beautifully executed! Thank you, Restaurant August, for such a wonderful evening celebrating our anniversary. We will absolutely recommend this restaurant for years to come and hope to return again someday.
