Get there before 10:30 am so you can order the breakfast menu . Get the fried chicken and biscuit sandwich with Tabasco honey , blue crab with poached eggs and hollandaise , or avocado toast with eggs .

Rachel

Gourmet fast-casual kind of place, with the option to eat in or take out . Delicious selection of instagrammable pies etc. I was impressed by the avocado/egg tartine and Milk Money Latte .

Wilson Favre-Delerue

Hip , fun and lively . Biscuits light and tasty, fried chicken lacking in flavour, crawfish and grits not too heavy. The real treasures here are the bakery products, both daily specials and fab cookies .

Kashem Miah

Such great food here. Has a Brooklyn style feel. We ordered the biscuits and pumpkin bread . Both were amazing. I finished breakfast with the salmon toast . Lots of salmon but not overly fishy.

Ben K.

Great for brunch . Try the biscuits and gravy (add an egg ), and shrimp and grits . Baked goods are so good too, the the chocolate espresso cookie .

Ares, Jr.

Loved the breakfast here and the ambience. The mixture of hip-hop vibes with the coffee shop appeal and food. Recommend the chicken and biscuit as well as the cheese and grits . The drinks were good!

Andrew Friedrichs

The BBQ Shrimp Toast was really good, but the shrimp were over-cooked. Probably an anomaly, cause our shrimp and grits were perfect!!! Fun coffee cocktails and interesting Bloody Mary .

Анастасия Цукор

I want to contact the owner of this cafe . If you want to increase profit of your restaurant on weekdays, make morning and brunchmenu for all weekdays, and completely delete lunch and dinner menu

Ms.M

Food was great! Had to remember to take pictures before it was all gone. Hangover bowl HITS even without a hangover & the sausage breakfast sandwich comes w/ double patties you wouldnt leave hungry. !

Megan Allison

Grits with crawfish gravy and buttery biscuits , amaze. Adorable place, staff and customers. Best breakfast I could find in the area. Loved!

Sezen

I don't remember the name of this one but it was divine! It's like eggs benedict but with shrimps . Loved the place as well , I wish I can go back!

Laur Lo Ski

I was disappointed that at 2:00 PM on a Saturday my only meal choices were brunch , but if you're into that this is the place for you. Total hipster hangout ! The spinach and cheese dip was heavenly!

Fabian Martin

Good avocado toast with fresh ingredients . Nice vibe overall too

Ms Helene

Really good almond cappuccino $4 and tasty salmon on toast with cream cheese capers onion and dill if overrated for $15

Adrock Holzer

Good people watching , clean , dese set up for large groups with a reservation , no issues with splitting checks, also good for grab and go coffee

Nicole Cheramie

This southern bakery , open daily for breakfast or brunch , is always busy. Perhaps it's the mimosa bar or the pastries . Order the griddle banana bread or country fried steak and sausage gravy biscuit .

The chocolate mousse cake is maybe the best cake I've ever had and it's my religion. It goes quickly so if you sit down order it right away. We're glad we did!

Daniela Staiculescu

This dish was divine. Crawfish and grits , poached egg . Order a biscuit on the side.

Jacqueline Abernathy

Great vibe and friendly service . The artichoke dip was ????????????????. The pastries looks amazing. The burger was okay (but I don’t think that’s their specialty). Overall, I highly recommend.

Santiago Mandi

Probably the best place I ate while in New Orleans. The Fried Oyster Benedict and cinnamon monkey bread were to die for

Clara Eloy

The avocado toast was very good and very fresh. Nice breakfast spot

Justin Lisenby

Amazing breakfast ! The bowl with braised short ribs is out of this world.

Jackie Todd

Avocado toast was good, despite being a little saltier than my light stomach could handle. So the baked goods are yummy, too. Try the chocolate chip cookies !

iPau_

Amazing breakfast & coffee ! Try the Croque Madame and Flat White . ????????????

Michal Palmon

The place is beautiful and the food is great. Had the burata toast with no shrimp and the avocado toast the next day. A bit pricey .

Frency Thijs

We loved the avocado and BBQ shrimp toast ! All the pastries look delicious and probably taste delicious as well ????

Wejdan ✨

The avocado toast ! You would think what's new? But trust me it's different and it's amazing!!

Dianne Hillhouse

Breakfast - avocado toast , crawfish gravy , lattes . Excellent food and service. Bright , cheery, modern but cozy atmosphere .
