The sauce was kind of like a white gravy -- creamy, rich, and paired perfectly with the sandwich. It was packed with meat and cheese, and the flavor was honestly finger-licking good. I wasn't too impressed with the coffee though. It wasn't bad by any means, just pretty mediocre.

I initially wanted French Toast, but because I got behind the power curve, I decided to grab…read moresomething quick, so I stopped in for an early morning BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST... Happy Birthday To Me, right. I found it to be a quaint neighborhood cafe with hours from 7am - 3pm; perfect cafe hours. As I approached the cashier, I noticed a middle aged lady with bright fiery red hair... I just knew from her vibrant appearance, she'd be bubbly, BUT she wasn't. Lol. I notice a French accent, which was quite a surprise, there was no mention of such in any of the reviews I read. I ordered a croissant sandwich because from a picture that I saw online, it looked to be a generous size & quite scrumptious. Much to my dismay, while tasty, it was much, much smaller than its online appearance. The food was delivered to me, which was quite pleasant & unexpected. I ordered a latte with Oat Milk as my tummy won't tolerate the cow's milk. Moooooo. Lol. I like the quaint feel indoors and to note, there's an outdoor patio to offset the intimate interior. On this morning, it was a bit too cold to sit outside and I'd like to say I'll return, but that's a lie. The reason you ask, well I didn't feel welcomed upon my entrance. When ordering my sandwich, the red haired cashier got snippy with me after I asked a question by saying "if you don't see it on the menu, we don't have it"... I was like hmmmmmm ok. It was my bday, so I was in the BEST of spirits & mood, maybe RED woke up on the wrong side of "le lit", which is bed in French . Definitely not something I want to be part of my BIRTHDAY EXPERIENCE, so I'm penning this review and erasing it from my mind. If you find a parking spot, grab it because as stated, it's in a neighborhood, so parking is limited. $9.30 for a small breakfast sandwich is a bit much, so bring extra coins if you come, you'll need it. And pack an extra smile, in case you don't get one from RED.

I'm slowly making my way through their coffee menu, by asking each barista what their favorite…read moredrink is and then ordering that the next time I go. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, both about books and the coffee. Every single coffee drink I've tried is absolutely outstanding. My favorite so far is If Beale Street Could Talk, a cayenne-infused mocha. It is spicy, smoky and delicious. The bookstore is lovely, too. They have plenty of events, and there are always at least a few crowds hanging around. Their selection is lovely and I always find a few new books to read. Beautiful outdoor patio, plus they have a small recording studio for podcasts (I think) and a bunch of tables, games, puzzles, etc. I love this spot! I think about their drinks all the time

James Baldwin was known as "God's Black revolutionary mouth" and is also the forever #1 guest on my…read moredead or alive party list. This bookstore is a true community spot. When we visited, it was crowded, but there was an event going on outside. Additionally, groups were there to meet and have coffee and chat. They have a coffee bar that appears to be well appointed. The book selection is wonderful. So many James Baldwin titles, including some you don't see regularly. They do online orders, so if you are looking for Baldwin books or books on Black history/social justice, consider buying from this Black owned business instead of Amazon. They also have a beautiful air bnb for rent. As mentioned in other reviews, this is in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhood and can be made part of a full day of activities, including JamNola and Allways Lounge and great restaurants.

I stopped in to meet a couple of friends. I couldn't decide what beverage to get with all the tasty…read moresounding names. I finally decided to get the blueberry pomegranate smoothie, which was delightful. The young lady who took my order was funny and pleasant. This particular location is so cozy and cute.

They are a fantastic coffee house that brews good coffee. I had the iced cold brew that brought me to a place of spiritual purity and strength, strength and spiritual purity. Additionally, if you desire a breakfast sandwich, CC's has you covered, especially if you're into bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant-like I am. The sandwich satisfied me before I embarked on a long day of festivities. The coffee house has inside and outside table seating that's great for conversing with friends or doing work. Moreover, the structure of the building narrows towards the south end with a window that allows for the sunlight to peer in, which is quite lovely if you're there in the morning after the sun has risen.

The coffee is freshly roasted and the food options are fantastic. They have everything from pastries, muffins, and bread pudding to some really great savory items. My personal favorites are the kolaches--they're always fresh and so delicious. There are great options like spinach feta, cheesesteak, and crawfish, so there's always something new to try. The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxed, making it a great spot to settle in with a laptop or meet up. The staff is always friendly, and the whole place has a really positive community feel. What makes this spot even more special is its mission--proceeds support a recovery program, which adds a meaningful layer to the experience. Love supporting our community. Great coffee, great food, and a great purpose behind it all. Definitely a local favorite and a place I'm always happy to visit. you should add to your list too.

I lucked out by finding Ayu Bakehouse.

I wasn't a fan of the cinnamon roll due to the crunchiness of the raw cane sugar on top. Ayu is a counter service restaurant with a full service coffee setup. The line moves fairly quickly, so don't be deterred if the line is out the door. Seating is very limited, so we took our items to go. Definitely worth the visit!

The pastries at Ayu Bakehouse are phenomenal--the croissants are easily some of the best around,…read moreflaky and absolutely perfect. 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!
