The Vintage - New Orleans, LA…read more The Vintage on Magazine Street was our very first food stop in New Orleans, and it turned out to be a great way for my wife and me to start our trip. From the moment we walked in, I really liked the atmosphere. The place has a cool, relaxed New Orleans vibe with a little bit of an upscale café feel without being overly fancy. It's the kind of spot where you can come in, sit down, enjoy some good food and drinks, and just take your time. Of course, we couldn't come to New Orleans and not start things off with beignets! We decided to go with the Fancy Beignet Flight, which gave us a chance to try several different flavors. We got the raspberry, s'mores, and Chantilly. They came out looking almost too good to eat, covered in powdered sugar with all the different fillings and toppings. Almost... because we definitely ate them! They were warm, sweet, messy in the best possible way, and a fun introduction to our New Orleans food adventure. For my meal, I ordered the Italian Panini with the truffle Parmesan fries. The sandwich was packed with meat, cheese, and flavor. Looking at that cross-section, they definitely weren't being stingy with the fillings! The bread was toasted nicely, and everything worked well together. The truffle fries were another highlight. They had plenty of seasoning and Parmesan and paired perfectly with the sandwich. I also grabbed a small iced mocha, which went really well with the food and especially the beignets. One thing I really enjoyed about The Vintage was the atmosphere. The interior has a lot of character, from the marble tables and vintage-style flooring to the bar and pastry display. It feels like a place that belongs on Magazine Street. It was comfortable enough that we didn't feel rushed and could just enjoy being in New Orleans together. The service was good during our visit, and everything came together for a really enjoyable first meal in the city. Our bill came to around $48 after tax and tip for the two of us, and considering we had a sandwich, upgraded fries, drinks, and the beignet flight, I thought it was a good experience for the money. Most importantly, this place gave my wife and me a great start to our New Orleans trip. When your first stop includes a loaded Italian panini, truffle Parmesan fries, iced coffee, and a whole flight of beignets, you know the trip is starting off right! Definitely a place I would visit again. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great first taste of New Orleans. 5 stars from us!

Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!

I love this place. This time I tried the Potato galettes (think Potato pancake), and four pastries…read moreI havent tried before. The Staff is always friendly and the service is always fast. I went after 8 so it was nice and quiet in the restaurant. The Potato gallettes are crispy on the outside and are good with breakfast or lunch. The almond pastry was nice and soft. The almonds add nice texture. I was only supposed to eat half but I ate the whole thing. The chocolate croissants were just not for me. I love chocolate and I love croissants but together, it wasn't my thing. No stars off for that because it's a matter of preference. The ham and cheese Danish had crispy parmesan on the outside. I was really good and could be for breakfast and lunch. I visit here often. The Potato soup is delicious. I love the pesto chicken pasta, and I would tell you guys about this amazing cookie that they have BUT, they already sell out too quickly. I don't need any more competition.

Restroom stall door was broken making me watch and wait while my kid uses the toilet. Please fix the stall lock so it can be safer for kids!

I thought this coffee shop was quaint and in the heart of Jefferson. It was pretty packed for 10am…read more The place is decently sized, quite few tables inside and about 3 or 4 outside to dine at. There is a jug of water in the back next to the very clean bathrooms. The menus are on the wall and they have a good number of options for food, including bagels and lox, which I will get next time. Not many places offer that in Metry. I ended up ordering the special latte which was a chocolate and vanilla blend. It was tasty, rich, I like when placed offer chocolate and not mocha. There is a different between those flavors and chocolate always wins, yet not many places offer so again, glad they have this too. I also ordered the scrambled egg croissant with cheddar and ham. I did enjoy the croissant, it was flaky and butter, delicious. I also enjoyed the ham, had a sweetness to it. I did not love the cheddar or lack there was. It was very little cheese and honestly, with that delicate ham, it needed a better cheese like brie maybe or gruyere? Something to match that perfect buttery croissant. I did notice the menu online is not exactly the same as the one on the wall. I was interested in an Italian Bagel, but maybe that is offered other times of the year or maybe it was just not popular, but it sounded interesting. I should have asked if they had the ingredients to make it and probably will next time if I don't get my lox bagel. The lady that took my order was professional and personable with the regulars. I did like that the worker space is open to the dinners and you can see everything coming in and going out - it was a well designed space. The decor was quaint. Only thing I didn't like was there was not as much cleaning of the tables as I would like in between customers. Overall, very good experience and very tasy coffee.

Was not impressed whatsoever…read more Service was slow and unfriendly. New person at the register got upset with me after she placed my order. Asked me if I had exited out of the screen. I said I paid in cash and didn't even touch the register. This was immediately after I had told her to put the change in the tip jar. Can't believe her memory was that bad- or if she was that frazzled by the line that has accumulated from her struggling with said register. Whichever the case, it left a bad taste in my mouth. There was no apology or even acknowledgement of her error besides an "Oh yeah!" Coffee was fresh but not strong. Was surprised by the lack of milk and sugar options available for patrons available on the counter. Totally expected some syrups and various types of milk available. Sandwich, as you can see in the picture, was barely filled. 1 layer of the toppings and I had multiple bites of just bread. Nothing about the sandwich was special nor unique. Bacon tasted like regular bacon and the bread was store-bought, not fresh bakery variety as others have mentioned in their reviews. Will not be back despite wanting to check out this place for years due to its high reviews and central location. Huge fail Yelp

Novelty experience- a must to do on your tour of New Orleans!…read more *Cash only* I did not have cash but as southern as it gets a lovely lady in line gave me some of her spare dollars so I could try this tasty treat (chill I Venmo) I shared the classic beignets and a hot chocolate. 10/10 would go back - I went in the airport location as well

Absolutely lived up to the hype. Beignets were soooooooooooo good. Customer service was incredibly…read morefriendly. Little hard to understand but they're doing their absolute best. Ambiance is amazing but also not so much lol. We had a shirtless and homeless drug addict next to us for about 3 minutes and no one seemed concerned enough to ask him to leave. He had been talking to his imaginary friend. Just wanting to enjoy breakfast, I did have a fun topic to explain to my kids. The bennys were delicious like I said. Hot and ready to eat. It was worth the walk! YOU NEED CASH!!!! They have an ATM there but it's still an inconvenience. I'm going to leave a 4 star for 2 reasons. 1. It's 2026....take cards lol. I like the old school vibes, but it's a pain and cost me more money to get cash. 2. At least ask the homeless dude to leave....I'm trying to eat and he's 6 feet from my family and tweaking out. It's your property, you CAN ask them to leave. It's a lack of interest by the business. Other than that, I had a fantastic time. 100% recommend.

Came here on a whim after church and it was great for a quick brekky and coffee…read more Apparently they're plant based so no eggs in the bread which I was surprised at it because it tasted great! They heated up the savory pastry, which I appreciate. The coffee was good too and not burnt or sour. I loved that they had bread samples too, I would def buy a loaf of olive bread. Has WiFi and about 3-4 tables. Pretty small place inside. Has some outdoor seating. Overall, I'd come back for a quick bite or catch up with a friend. Parking: free limited on street
