Nice and smooth, without the slightly harsh after taste you get from so many other coffees around. It's amazing! The service is far above average! Always friendly and extremely helpful. You don't feel rushed to make a decision and they always help you out with suggestions if needed. It feels like... You're at a friend's house. The volume is usually low on background music & customers talking, which adds to the mellow feel. Honestly, I can't find one thing wrong with this place. There's even a bagel menu, full of choices of your hungry. Great place to hang and work, read, chat, or just chill. I'd highly recommend it! Love this little place! Very eclectic and cool. The Staff is friendly and helpful. The crepes look delish (Although I didn't try one this time), and the coffee was amazing! Freshly made to order and served in cute sky blue cups. WiFi avail and low music in the background. There is also a small courtyard in the back and a few tables out front as well if you prefer to sit and enjoy the great outdoors. Lots of choices for coffee, teas, and yes Crepes (Which I'll be trying next time!!) I'll certainly be back! I'd recommend this little spot to all. Great to have coffee, relax, or just chill with your computer.

We also came several times for brunch after church and thought it was great. The portions were small but they prices weren't bad. Sometimes the waitress would REALLY push specials on us and constantly come up to the table, but that was our only real complaint. Recently, for Sunday brunch, my boyfriend and I went for one special entree each and it totaled nearly $120! After that we will likely not be back. Perhaps this was our fault, but previously our brunches only totaled about $60, so we were more than shocked.

The meal starts out with flatbread that's lightly buttered, fresh and warm right out of their Mexican oven. Outstanding! Kept it on the light side for lunch, so went with the beet salad. It was perfect for what I was hungry for. You get mixed greens, roasted red and.green beets, burrato, oranges with blackberry vinaigrette dressing.

We had already eaten lunch, so I didn't order any food, but we were able to enjoy the complimentary hot, fresh bread along with some great drinks. Of all the drinks we tried, the Golden Peach, Passion Fruit Martini, and the recommended Mini Beer Shots were my favorite. I also love that they use fresh fruit and ingredients in their beverages you can really taste the difference it made. We were able to sit at the bar that day and received great service from Ashlyn. She was very nice, personable, and attentive. She made the experience feel so welcoming and pleasant that we decided to go back the very next day with more family members. Unfortunately, our Saturday visit during the Hot August Stroll was a completely different experience. And it wasn't because of how busy things were or the events taking place. The issue was the inconsiderate service we received from our waitress, C. The service was so disappointing that I won't even go into detail, but it definitely changed my overall impression of the restaurant. Would I recommend One Thirteen? It really depends on what you're going for and, honestly, which server you happen to get. The ambiance is definitely one of the highlights. It's cute, colorful, pink, and very aesthetically pleasing. It would be a great spot for Happy Hour, birthdays, brunch, date night, or even a work gathering.

Three pancakes (nothing smaller but okay. I can eat off this all day), smoked sausage and eggs. Grand total came to $6.65. Not bad. The drive through service was professional, alert and helpful. There was a little wait only because of the larger order ahead of me. The ambiance is pleasant and clean both in the drive through-outside and inside of the building. Back to the order, the smoked sausage was cook perfectly and the eggs were well seasoned, you don't need to add anything. For the pancakes, I'm unsure if it's fresh batter made or frozen but it doesn't give you the other "drive through" taste pancakes but I was kinda looking for a more homey fuller pancake but these are still okay. Since I'm working in the area, I know I'll work my way through the menu choices.

They're $10 on Mondays - get in here and get you one as soon as you can...then get another. Now I can't wait until Monday. But, I was in there over the weekend, and tried a recommended dish - the Bayou Omelet. We split the dish, which we ordered with perfectly crisped hash browns (my description, not the menu), and a cathead biscuit. What's a cathead biscuit you may ask? So did we. It's a biscuit as a big as a cathead! And guess what, I hope I don't run into that cat, 'cause he's a big-un'. But back to this omelet. Dang, y'all, it was sooo good - the seafood was fresh and tasty, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and every bite screamed "we love you, thanks for stopping in!" Had some hot, black coffee with it - also pretty good...good enough for a second and third cup, for sure. Two visits in and still impressed - if you make it out, leave some time for a little stroll around the little town of Abita Springs...the Brew Pub is great for an after dinner pint to wash down whatever amazing treat you had at the Cafe'.
