Oh my word! I already want to go back. My friend and I each got a cauliflower "chik'n" wrap and shared. Oh my oh my! So yummy. I got the Asian Chicken Wrap which is described as "Asian marinated chicken, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, cilantro, rice noodles, sesame peanut sauce, spinach wrap." My friend got another "chik'n" wrap but I can't find the description online so I can't tell you about it but it was good also. I got the pasta salad and my friend got fries. I Tammy liked the pasta salad. Excellent, excellent restaurant

Still as good as ever! Loved the Asian Chicken Wrap, even as a takeout meal! The cold quinoa salad was great as well.

Super unique, cute, & welcoming atmosphere/ staff. Book store inside. Plenty decorations. Great fresh & healthy food options as well as vegan/vegetarian (especially hard to find in Da Parish). Robyn is the best! Their Blue Eyes Tea is delicious, pretty color, tastes great without sweetener, & free refills.

The bookstore and cafe signs

This place is amazing!!!! The owner had an amazing idea for a cozy restaurant. The food is amazing, perfect consistency and the fact that she was even teaching us the recipe and the owner herself was there to have a friendly conversation is the coolest to experience. She has a bookstore with the coziest little set up. We are from florida and this place right here should be a 10 star... the 5 star isn't near what she deserves :)

Tart and iced coffee

I found this little place after attending a graduation in the area. Street and reserved parking, attached to a super cute bookstore. Menu has lots of fresh and yummy foods, something for every picky taste bud. Although I only had coffee and dessert I would've had more of there hadn't been a wait 40mins before you get your food warning. Though I appreciate the warning, that cancelled lunch for my schedule. I would again try Cafe Aquarius if I had business in the area but I usually don't.

Fried green tomatoes with Gouda grits - eggs, fried green tomatoes, fried shrimp, hollandaise sauce and a little argula.

Correction I had the fried green tomatoes not the eggs Labatt. I can't wait to try more

Ronda made my wedding cake dreams come true. Not only did both layers (chocolates peanut butter, and red velvet) taste light and fluffy, moist and decedent all at the same time-the design captured a New Orleans nuptial like no other. Hands down have these people do your cake!!! Also the brunch is to die for. Fried green tomato eggs Benedict a must!!

Awesome selections. I loved the Eggs Labatt. Servings were generous. Not quite the social distancing I like, but perfect for pick up.

My friend and I were greeted enthusiastically when we walked through the door of this small,…read morefamily-run Vietnamese restaurant in a Chalmette strip mall. That was so kind, and it moved me. Many "social" experiences feel so impersonal and isolated now; and I've always felt that making, eating, and sharing food should not feel that way, and, at Beignets & More, walking into the space feels humanizing, like you've been welcomed to a family meal, even if you're on your own. My friend and I both had pots of green tea and ordered pho, which came out within 10 minutes. I have wheat/gluten allergies and confirmed that the pho here is gluten free. The brisket pho was great, and I'll definitely come back to try the chicken, rare steak, and veggie--or to get a big container of their terrific broth to go when I'm feeling a cold coming on. (I'm sure other menu items are worth trying too!) Both the son and his dad came around during our meal to gently ask "everything is good?" I'll be here often as long as I live in New Orleans. -- Bonuses: In the table caddy with hoisin sauce, sriracha, napkins, and spoons, there are also real chopsticks to use--not the wooden, to-go ones many restaurants offer even when you're dining in. Parking at the strip mall is easy.

My first visit I enjoyed a Vietnamese iced coffee (espresso and condensed milk) and beignets, which were so delicious. You have a choice of three regular beignets that are huge, or nine mini beignets that remind me of funnel cake! I have returned for another cup of coffee and well as their chargrilled shrimp Vietnamese poboy and rare round eye or eye round pho. The poboy is absolutely wonderful and the pho was delicious. This will be my go to at times when I wanted a shrimp poboy, great substitute for the fried ones. You can dine in or take out. The owners are so nice and definitely know their regulars. Until we meet again!

Someone told me that I should try this place because it's the Chalmette version of Port of Call…read more(great burger place in New Orleans) but better prices. Once I heard that I knew I had to give it a try. Me and a friend decided to give it a try on a Friday night. Went in and was immediately seated, no wait time at all. the place isn't very big, so I was surprised by this. After reviewing the menu, we placed our orders for the Brewster Burger (10-ounce sirloin beef) with a loaded baked potato. I decided to try their signature drink the Boom a lache, they have a full service bar so you can order whatever you like though. My drink came out first and it was delicious, very similar to port of calls monsoon drink, and the size was huge. After a short wait the food came and we were thoroughly impressed, great burger and the loaded baked potato was just right. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the mood for a quality burger at a great price.

They must be under new management because lately items have been missing in my order or some was…read morenot fresh.Ordered a burger plate dressed got no tomatoes or lettuce just a big hunk of onion.On another occasion the lettuce was wilted mind you the burgers use to be excellent but it seems every time I say I'm not going anymore I still go back but I think this will be my last time.I feel like I'm paying for some items I'm not getting.
