Amore Bakery and Cafe located on the New Orleans Westbank in the Old Gretna Community. Amore has an upscale feel to it as they decorate for all the major holidays with Christmas being one of my favorites. The desserts they serve up are very well done. Angelo Brocato serves his mmmmm so good large cannolis, gelato, Italian cookies, and Spumoni here. I promise you won't be disappointed if you come here for a sweet snack. Eat local, Enjoy! read more

This is a cute little coffee shop in the Gretna area! The service was quick and friendly. The inside had a fancy/old school look to it. I got their medium Iced Amore Latte (plus tax = $7.41). The coffee was standard, but still pretty good and strong. Parking mainly consists of free and paid street parking. Overall, a solid small coffee shop in old Gretna. read more

I have been wanting to try them for some time and finally got a chance. I ordered the Toasted Coconut Coffee Frappuccino and it was extremely delicious. The cashier was so friendly and welcoming, and so were many of the customers (if not all that I had conversation with)! I love this area of Gretna to begin with, small town feels right outside the bustling New Orleans. Beautiful to stroll with your drink from Amore or have at their outdoor seating area. However, I paid $4 for a side of bacon and received TWO small pieces of bacon. Yes the bacon tasted pretty good, but that is entirely too expensive and I felt like this is not good restaurant business practice. Especially in today's economy. Look at the picture!!! read more

Lovely little bakery nestled in Gretna with spectacular service and an old time feel. They have gelato, desserts, breakfast/brunch, and coffees. The berry waffle is big enough for two and the breakfast sandwhich is basic but fresh. Definitely worth a visit! If you're into cheesecake, try the berry chantilly cheesecake. It's the perfect blend of cheese and sweetness without overdoing the sugar. read more

Went there and got a coffee and some pastries and it was delicious. Couldn't ask for more.

Always a great time at Amore's! The service is top notch and very easy to talk to. The drinks are out of this world amazing! Anything you order to drink here is great. My favorite is the earl gray latte, it's top notch. My wife and daughter really enjoyed the hot cocoa here. For decorations they go all out here for Christmas. It felt like stepped back in time to Old Gretna, like if it was in England or something, very cool. Overall we a had a great time, and look forward to visiting here in the future. read more

A friend recommended this cafe and I am extremely glad I visited this hidden Gretna gem. Located near the farmers market it is reminiscent of a Parisian cafe with a little New Orleans flair. The pastries look amazing and the staff and very friendly. I highly recommend stopping by. Also a great place to bring a book and read for a bit. read more

Recommend? Yes. I got their avocado toast because it was the only vegan item they offered. It's a good enough avocado toast. The cafe itself is really cute so even if you can't eat anything here, come for a coffee and enjoy some good conversation or reading and writing. read more

Our little westbank gem! I constantly recommend this place to people. You really shouldn't go to Old Gretna and not stop in for a snack! They always do a fantastic job from the food and drinks to the decor! I can honestly say everything here is good! I still think they need to start doing flights of their soups though. It's hard to pick just one!! read more

I love everything about this place, but the coffee. I don't know if it's the coffee or the milk they use that it tastes funny. I tried the coffee many times with family and friends and they feel the same. The food, gelato, pastries, and ambiance are great! It's a fun place to hang out with kids. The service is great; the girls are very nice too. Please fix the coffee, so I can go more often lol I need a good coffee. read more

We have been to this establishment many times with no issues but today we had the worst service out of all our visits here. Dark hair blue eyed female. Don't remember seeing a name tag. Didn't greet my partner and I when we walked up nor smiled. Thanks to the barista because he actually did. I asked for a lunch menu and she said they didn't serve lunch on Saturdays which was fine. Told her we would order coffee and pastries to go. Barely gave me two seconds to scan the coffee menu and rushed me to place an order so I picked something. She then proceeded to rudely ask " if there was anything else" before my partner could even look. After we paid (which I still tipped on my to go order) there was no thank you. No have a good day. No nothing. read more

I have come here many times and everything I've ever had is delicious. I love that they offer crème brûlée because it's pretty hard to find in places that aren't nicer restaurants . Such a cute spot to take Instagram pics at too! read more

I love the place! It's great coffee, but way more! Great baked goods, breakfast and lunch!! Super cool vibe and cool decorations. It's like being in an old New Orleans shotgun with a old ice cream shop added in! Great staff and fast service. Right in the heart of beautiful Gretna! read more

Such a cute place! Another hidden gem in old Gretna that I had never been to until now. It's a small place but still very busy - it was tough to find an open table on a hot, humid Louisiana summer evening. They still had decorations from 4th of July but it made the place look so festive and nice so no complaints at all about that. I got the stracciatella gelato, which was delicious! My friends had a cookie and one of the chocolate pastry dishes from their display case and my friend swears by their cookies! I'll have to try it another time but it's a real sweet place and would love to come back. read more

Food is ok . There is much better food and coffee around the corner on Lafayette Street. Go to Nguyeners bakery the coffee is great. The service at Amore is not good they act like you owe them something. The owner came down and caused a scene in front of the whole restaurant about this review and her mother came down and berated us and twice tapped my wife on her back and said don't ever come back when I was the one who did this. This could all have been handled better if she would have pulled me aside and communicated about the issues. Instead she thought a owner should act so unprofessional in her own restaurant. I hope the future of this area does not depend on owners like her. Also don't get on yelp if you can't handle honesty. read more

Stopped by after dinner last week to get dessert. Waited several minutes for the three employees to stop gossiping and wait on us (just acted like we were not there.) Finally we got to order my partner got a almond croissant and a blueberry scone. I went with banana pudding, which was prepackaged (should have known better.) The croissant was HARD AS A ROCK as was the scone. The Banana pudding was OLD not sure how long it had been sitting but I'm guessing no less than a week or more, the bananas were BLACK... pics attached...YUM! read more

Great find in Gretna!! I work nearby often and recently discovered it. You'd think you were in the LGD. The quality (and prices) meet or exceed those expectations. read more

The place is beautiful truly. The ambiance is nice very chatty. The service is okay just a whole bunch of teenagers . I have been about 3 times hoping the coffee might be better or different at the very least. In the past I have ordered hot latte, iced latte and a cold cream cold brew and these coffees were all so flat, no taste - just not good. If you are a real coffee lover don't come here but if all you care about is sweets then yes. Their sweets, breads, cakes, gelato etc come from Angelo brocatto. read more

I have to update the my last review. Sage asked me to some in an try a fresh piece of coconut cake so the next I was in the neighborhood I stopped by. They were out of coconut this time but she did offer me a wedding cake cupcake and I also picked up two scones, the pistachio cake and an almond braid. Y'all. The wedding cake cupcake. The first word that came to my head was "Mesmerizing!!" The cake was light and fluffy but held together. The frosting was whipped to perfection and had a delicate almond flavor that complimented the cake so well. Perfect distribution of icing and cake. Usually I say cake is the the carrier for the main event-the icing. But the cake held its own. My new favorite. I tried the white chocolate raspberry and the blueberry scone. Both were light and fluffy and just a tad crispy on the outside with a light glaze covering the entire biscuit. The pistachio cake is just not my thing. I liked the frosting and nuts but the cake needs a little something-too bland for my buds. The almond braid was probably my second favorite after the wedding cake. Flaky layer upon layer of pastry with a lovely almond filling. It is to die for. Every time I go in, I'm swept away by the decor. It's just beautiful and Sage graciously called her mom while I was standing there to find out where she ordered the bathroom faucets which I love. This is a family affair. Sage is precious, creative, talented and just plain ol' nice. She deserves to do well. I hope you visit her soon and bring friends. read more

Awesome experience! They have wise assortment of baked goods including muffins, turnovers, cookies and cream cheese pie. Also they have a dozen or so different ice creams. The staff are very helpful and polite. Plenty of clean tables. The only drawback is that there are 4-5 stairs to walk up to get to the counter. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

The space is cute, the coffee is good, but the pastries are just ok. The worst part about this place is the very rude service. Their ordering and pick-up system is a mystery, but questions are unwelcome. My name was called but it was unclear to me whether the brown bag next to my drinks was my croissant, but when I asked if it was mine, I was forcefully told no, "We know," and that my name would be called (it was called). Then my to-go croissant was brought out on a plate. just rude and unhelpful. They should probably work on training. read more

Located in old Gretna , Amore , has a very nice easily identifiable storefront. As you go inside you notice the wonderful displays of gelatos, and magazine picture worthy pastries and desserts. I had a wonderful apple strudel, flaky pastry over delicious sweet apple slices , it was fresh , well made and obviously made from scratch. The cappuccino was a great pairing with the strudel. I can't wait to return to eat my way through all the pastry and dessert choices. Well worth spending some time at Amore pastries and cafe. read more
