So it's been a while since I've been back and one of my former coworker friends wanted to grab brunch and suggested Wakin Bakin since he lives in the neighborhood! Let me tell you, I regret that it's taken me so long to come back! Before I forget there are new local owners who you can tell love the community and the people that come into their restaurant! They're planning on doing breakfast for dinner I think Thursdays and Fridays which I want to check out as well I ordered the special of eggs Benedict over their delicious honey butter biscuit and the hashrowns which were like red potatoes that were in crawfish boil, omg so good!! And the iced chai latte with oat milk was from a local coffeehouse, I forgot which one but it dang it was good too! My friend is trying to eat healthier so he got the tofu bowl with Patton's beef hot sausage and a honey butter biscuit! He enjoyed his food and let me taste it and it was yummy too! I definitely need to bring them back in my rotation!! Also, it's a little small inside but they have outdoor tables too! read more

Stopped in this morning for an employee meeting breakfast. What a nice quiet place for breakfast and meeting. The waiter was outstanding, friendly, tentative and very helpful. I had the OG Bowl. It was great. Perfectly cooked over easy eggs and the bacon was wonderful. The grits were off the charts, creamy and cooked to perfection too. Great place to try. I will make this a normal stop when I am in NOLA. read more

OMG!! This place is soooooo good! Please do yourself a favor and come enjoy the food and friendly service here!! We stayed at an airbnb nearby and heard about this place and it was so amazing, we ordered the biscuits and gravy and shrimp and grita and was delicious, one of the best biscuits and gravy we've had. I also ordered egg whites cause of dietary reasons and they served me such a generous amount, everything is home made and delicious. I love the chill ambiance and the service is so fast! If you're hungry and want fast and friendly service and great coffee come to wakin' Bakin'. We made a second stop and had some pancakes and sourdough sandwich, loved! And they have outside seating if you want to bring your furry friend. read more

Everything was great, food and customer service was amazing. The decorations on the wall were pretty awesome too!

Oh double yes!!! We are at the Mid City location 3 mornings out of the 5 days we were in NOLA. Outstanding service, abundant portions, and cute atmosphere. Seating indoors as well as outdoors. Great coffee also. We tried the grits, breakfast burrito, the sourdough sandwich, and ofcourse the biscuits and gravy. Portions were large enough as a shareable. They also have a location in the French Quarter!. read more

Went Sunday morning with another couple and enjoyed it. It's a small space, very casual with a few tables outside. We sat outside and were served promptly. I had the voodoo coffee with chocolate milk, to gulp it all down quickly because it was delicious! I had eggs, bacon, hash and biscuit. Eggs were perfectly scrambled and the bacon was sooo good. We are happy to have discovered a new breakfast place. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Wakin' Bakin! I've been eyeing this place for a while and finally got my chance to swing by. There are a lot of great brunch places in New Orleans, but their hours are usually from morning to early afternoon so you have to plan to come here earlier in your day. It being a Saturday I fully expected to have to wait to get seated but I was fortunate and was able to get seated right away. I even got a larger table because the tables for smaller groups were already occupied. This gave me lots of space to spread out. I got a cup of coffee (HEY Coffee Co. brand) which had unlimited refills (my favorite kind!) and a breakfast burrito. I originally asked to have the bacon put on the side but the server was so wonderful and offered me options! I ended up getting Tofu in my burrito! It was very yummy! The service was great! The team there were very attentive, kept my coffee full (even filled my to go cup!), and accommodated my dietary requests. The ambience was nice- it's limited seating inside but they do have sitting space outside too. Drinks: Lots of breakfast drink options! Service: Very good and attentive! Outdoor Seating: Yes! Parking: Street Parking Pets: Definitely allowed outside. read more

A quaint restaurant to stop and get breakfast. There was both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside and it was packed both inside and out. The food came out relatively quick and the service was great. You truly felt the hospitality. As for the food it wasn't anything extraordinary but your standard breakfast. The hash browns were interesting as I've never seen it like that. I heard the cheesy grits were phenomenal. read more

This was the best breakfast sandwich I've had in a long time! I've heard so many rave reviews about this place, I was thinking it would be packed on a Saturday morning. I think we beat the rush. We were seated immediately and waited on by the nicest staff ever. They were super attentive. I will definitely be back, even if it's just for a to go order. I got the Sourdough King and my mom got the breakfast burrito. Both were very good. read more

Wakin' Bakin' - Sourdough King with smashed potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Funky little establishment, indoor seating or outdoor picnic tables to watch the world go by. SuperBowl was superb, and I'm really excited by the tofu bowl! Eggs don't agree with me so any place with a tasty tofu option is stellar. Also, the local chai is lovely. Not sweet so you can actually taste the tea and not the sugar. read more

Breakfast of the champions. Hash browns are the best I've ever had. Very small intimate place, but service was absolutely great!!! Highly recommend. read more

Small Cramped Space. Food is terrible. Service is Bad. 3 strikes and you are OUT! Do not waste your time at this horrible restaurant. I decided to give this location a second chance. I came here Saturday morning and I was actually able to get food this time. Server had a major attitude, she was very rude. The food was not good. And did I mention how small and uncomfortable the atmosphere is here!? read more

I had the tofu scramble, it was delish! Service was very slow and not worth mentioning. The fresh OJ was delicious as well. The grits were pretty good. Biscuit was good but wish they had a non sausage version of the gravy. Pancakes/eggs were just ok. Coffee/chocolate milk combo drink was a NO. read more

We went to the one located in mid-city on Banks street. The parking was horrible (especially since it was garbage day in that neighborhood - Tuesday I think). It's a cute little place (emphasis on the little) with great service and really yummy grits and breakfast items. Wish they had beignets. read more

The food was amazing! Everything the girls and I had; we enjoyed! The sourdough bread; baked to perfection. The grits were so thick yet delicious! I personally had the meat eater omelet with no substitutions. The freshly squeezed orange juice and lemonade was worth it! The service was quick and the waiter was great! The actual space is smaller than expected but there is outdoor seating also! read more

I was working at Jazz Fest this year and stopped in for a yummy breakfast. The service was great! I would suggest a visit and I will certainly return. read more

First time in this little quaint breakfast place and was very surprised. The food was delicious. I ordered the OG Bowl and it was really what I was hoping for. The grits were creamy, bacon confit was perfect and the eggs were perfectly prepared. I'd stop back in and eat there again. read more

This is a really cozy breakfast spot! Not too many tables so make sure to get there early. The service was fantastic and the food was really good. I got the usual which was sausage, hash browns and eggs. The hash was particularly good. My boyfriend's sausage and gravy was huge and he was really full when he finished it. Just a really nice neighborhood breakfast spot! read more

Wakin Bakin was amazing ! It's a small quaint spot on Banks street. There are a few tables inside and has outdoor tables. The gentleman that greeted us was very kind and polite. I came with a bunch of picky eaters, and everyone was satisfied.The hot sausage patty was delish! Just enough spice ! The potatoes and bacon were fried crisp! The service was spot on, would definitely recommend if you are in the area! read more

Slow and inattentive service coupled with the price makes this experience one to avoid.

Great little mid city breakfast place. I had been once a good while ago. Long enough that I didn't even remember what I had ordered. This time brought friends who had never been. The inside is kinda small so it can fill up pretty fast. They do have a couple outside seating options. This day we were able to walk right in no wait. I went with the biscuits and gravy. That was some of the fluffiest airy biscuits I've tasted. The sausage gravy was also very good. Just a heads up they don't have booze, but they will do a corking fee if you bring your own I think it was 15 bucks. Don't know if they always allow this but we had walking bloody Mary's I made at the house and my bro in law was wan't quite finished and we were going to stand outside while he finished, but the waitress was like no need go right in. read more

The ABSOLUTELY SWEETEST PLACE IVE VISIT IN NEW ORLEANS. I wish I remember our waitresses name but even the waiter that helped her bring things out was so amazingly sweet serving me and my kids. Food was amazing as well ! We sat outside and received amazing servicing along with the sweetest compliment from our waitress. I know she was surprised on how polite all my kids were but we are amazing and the service we received! Such a good wholesome place to be at. read more

Do yourself a favor and hop over here for breakfast. The only issue we had was trying to choose from their insanely delicious menu. Service was great and portions were huge. Highly recommend this charming spot read more

Amazing breakfast service that features scrumptious home potatoes, tasty honey biscuits and some of the best cold brew coffee in NOLA. I ordered the voodoo cold brew and was blown away by how amazing the taste was--and I usually hate cold brew coffee! 8/10 I definitely recommend^^ read more

Crazy busy Saturday morning, however, it was so nice to sit outside and wait for a table! The food was incredible tasting-made to perfection! Too large of a portion so I brought 1/2 home. Great neighborhood place! read more

Wakin' Bakin' is just a few blocks from my house. It's got a great staff, charming vibe, very good food and people love it. Worth a stop for a very casual breakfast or brunch. It sits amongst some groovy burger joints and pubs as well. read more

Everything tasted amazing. Awesome and quick service. We got grits and biscuits and gravy. Absolutely phenomenal best breakfast we had in the area. read more

Came in on a Tuesday morning as our last stop before we headed back to the airport. The gentleman who took our order was nice and friendly. He was also patient which I appreciated. The food was cheap and came out quickly. I got a big John with an over medium egg and cheddar cheese. My mate got biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were too crumbly that I couldn't pick my sandwich up without it falling apart. The egg was slightly more cooked then I like so the yolk was a little more thick then I would of wanted. The biscuit really soaked up the yolk and was good but there wasn't enough. The cheese was shredded and kinda melted on top of the biscuit which as odd and greasy. The sausage was decent. The biscuits and gravy were sad, cold but looked great. Over all I wanted more but was happy with the staff and the place but don't think I'd return. read more

First time trying Wakin' Bakin' since they opened their French Quarter location in this space previously occupied by Eat NOLA. The vibe is comfortable and casual with a bright, cheery ambiance that fits nicely with their breakfast/lunch business model. We got lucky and were seated immediately at 10:30 on a busy Sunday morning. Friendly and efficient service. Started with a cup of French Truck coffee, which is one of the best cups o' joe in NOLA. For entrees, I went with the biscuits & gravy with sausage and scrambled eggs. The biscuits are awesome, with a honey cornbread taste & consistency. The sausage gravy was pretty good, but a little saltier than I'd like. My bride had "the usual", which she enjoyed. The bacon confit (a little softer than regular bacon) and Cajun hash were the stars of the plate. Bottom-line, better than average breakfast option in the Quarter, but not quite worthy of making my list of the top 10 best breakfast/brunches in NOLA. read more

Love the (fairly) recent overhaul of their menu. Try the vegan options-tofu, beans-you won't be disappointed. They roast some awesome garlic for homemade aoli, order a side of it! read more

Soon as you walk in you feel the good vibes. Fresh hippy vibe , good music & delicious food. The breakfast bowl was very filling. Biscuits and Gravy was on point. Must have the fresh squeezed orange juice to wash everything down. FYI... there is no need to add any salt and pepper - the food is well seasoned. Definitely would recommend anyone staying in the neighborhood to come here for a delicious , hearty breakfast. read more

After such a great breakfast first time there, our second breakfast was disappointing. It was over 90 degrees and we were seated outside and our server told us that they were out of ice so we got lukewarm water. They forgot to bring us our coffees, didn't refill our empty waters, and the food was just okay. They did offer our drinks they forgot to give us complimentary. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! I couldn't recommend it more. We stumbled upon this place after the wait being too long somewhere else. As soon as we walked in we got the friendliest welcoming and sat immediately outside next to a huge fan. Our server, Trisha was just one of a kind! It was so refreshing to have such a great dining experience on a whim! The food was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!!!! read more

I love the cozy atmosphere and whimsical name, but the food is quite underwhelming. I wasn't a fan of the Avocado Toast. I was expecting toast on an artisan bread with a thick layer of avocado and egg. Instead I got a bland sandwich with stiff bread and no sauce. The biscuit was very dense. The best part of the meal was the crispy hashbrown. My husband didn't like his biscuits and gravy. The bacon and eggs fared better. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I should have gotten the Special as some Yelpers seemed to enjoy. Since none of the items were a homerun and don't live in the area, this is a one and done for me. I prefer Satsuma instead - tasty vegetarian and vegan options. read more
