Great spot that we decided to stop from a nice breakfast before heading out! Highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches, king cake when in season, coffee and juices! Fun bright spot. Great staff!

Very cute little Cafe full of flavor. We started with a nice glass of ginger ale with cane sugar as our taste buds danced from the turtle soup. There was so much flavor in every bite. Then we split the Creoletta sandwich. Again, the flavors were nothing less but spectacular. We also tried the frozen peach bellini. This would be a great frozen treat on a hot day like today. These do contain alcohol. The atmosphere was the best. You could look around and feel the French Cafe vibe. I highly recommend you check this place out for lunch.

Adorable little cafe and shop right next to the iconic Commander’s Palace. The crepes, soups, salads, and sandwiches are fresh and delicious, and they offer a great selection of coffee, tea, wine, and cocktails. The shop has a fun collection of souvenirs and kitchen items, all featuring their signature white-and-blue stripes—think towels, aprons, hats, wooden spoons, cutting boards, candles, coffee, tea, books, and even umbrellas. A perfect spot to grab a bite and pick up a unique gift or keepsake!

This is a small cafe with limited seating, but thats not a big deal. The crepes were delicious; however, the star of the show was the biscuit breakfast sandwich with egg and bacon. It was a whole other level of goodness!! I highly recommend the sandwich, you wont be disappointed. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

My wife has this to say while exploring New Orleans. The moment she step inside, she was greeted with the comforting aroma of fresh coffee and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. She ordered a cup of their rich, smooth coffee and a blueberry crepe—and wow. The crepe was perfection: light, buttery, and filled with fresh, juicy blueberries that tasted like summer on a plate. Whether you’re wandering the streets looking for a quiet cafe or just need a delicious pick-me-up, this little spot delivers big flavor and charm. Don’t miss it.

The service here was amazing! She even remembered my name and said goodbye as I was leaving! I will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. This trip I tried the snapping turtle soup and it was delicious!

The best Ice Americano I’ve ever had in the U.S.! The latte is great, too. Above all, the interior is absolutely beautiful. I feel so lucky to have discovered this place during my trip!

Cute little place with cool decor and a nice menu. I got the Cajun crepe and it was really good! I got there nice and early so there was no other customers and it was pretty peaceful.
