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.

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

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.

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

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 :)

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.

Quality / amount / presentation: failing grade. We bought…read more$45 worth of baked goods: samples of several things and 1/2 dozen cupcakes. (Everything you see, still untouched, in the pic.) It looked like $8-10 worth in volume from a bakery. This was the worst and driest cakes or pastries we've ever had!! Instead of nicely cut, the cake pieces looked liked a toddler had spooned up the remnants in a container and then sprayed them all with white frosting - which was on top of everything. We were obviously sold pieces that had been lying around for quite a while, as some were so dry they had crusted up and were inedible. The cupcakes were the only cake-moist pieces, but the taste was bland and sugary. Somehow the supposedly different flavors also tasted almost the same.

If you are ready to waste your time and get bait and switched, come here for your wedding cake. I…read morereached out to them on The Knot sending a picture of a vintage rectangular cake. I told her our location was Zachary - 2 hours away. She originally quoted for 101 and then once I mentioned it would be chantilly she quoted 120. Mind you, I sent a specific picture of what I wanted. We were invited to come out to a cake tasting (costing $25). For the price, we justified this totaling 4 hour trip for the sake of affordability. We are on a tight budget. We get there and everyone was kind. The cake was pretty good. And then we get to pricing. Suddenly the same cake I requested initially mentioning the berries on top and vintage aesthetic now costs 262.36 and the delivery is 175. Mentioned the original price and she said that was a price for a basic rectangular cake that is not chantilly. Why would she quote me for that when I sent her the picture she acknowledged receiving in the appointment? I noticed the reviews on here when I put in the address to give it a shot. The cake was fine. They are nice to your face. But they are a shotty business model. If you are a couple already stressing about wedding planning and budgets - this is a 40 person cake for $500. Not the low price they will attract you to them with "affordability" slapped in the ad. Extremely disappointing and extreme waste of time and gas. Half a tank on nothing. ** I would update my review if you were being honest. In the initial quote before we came I absolutely did show you the cake itself that I wanted in the picture AND I wanted the berries covering the top which was in the initial picture. I mentioned I wanted to raspberries from the picture to be replaced with the Chantilly betties. This was all before the appointment. You even acknowledged I sent you an initial picture in the appointment, so I showed you a similar one again since you said you didnt remember. The cake I showed you initially before we came was actually even more intricate. I expected a travel fee which is why I asked before you mentioned it if it was included in the 262. I expectef a higher fee for the travel. Not a $200 deviation in price from the cake alone.

Really nice meal before the show with my vegetarian friends…read more Recently a couple of friends and I needed to grab a quick bite. I thought we were going to another place when one of my guests suggested Thaihey across the street from the fire station on Decatur. Yes, sure. It's a typical Quarter restaurant with its long gallery seating. We were seated right away. The menu appeared to be heavily vegetarian which was great for my two friends. Many will understand the limited menu options for vegetarians at most places. Wes ordered Tom Kai, Becky the Massaman Jackfruit option and I the one with short rib. It was delicious. It was warm and comforting, full of flavor and the chef made it less spicy for me. What a delight to choose a menu option that I have never had and restaurant that I have never been to. You believe that I'll return for certain. Especially for that gorgeous Mai Tai!

Great food great service a nice variety. We got the catfish and it was amazing just a little bit…read morespicy and I got the less than mild. The mild is grease spicy they said. We got the Mule cocktail and the. Finished the meal with the Thai old fashion, which was a clever twist on the classic old fashion. The place has a nice feel and decorated modestly with a definite Thai influence from a city the owner may have been from. Our Takeaway was it's Thai with a twist, which was nice. Try Thaihey you should be pleasantly surprised.

Ya'll are just so DISRESPECTFUL! I don't care if I go to a place and I feel the food is terrible, I simply keep it pushing because their clearly in business because SOMEBODY likes it! Everyones palates and tastes are different! In our community, it's IMPERATIVE to support US! If you patronize a spot, you have issues? Tell THEM while your there! Call them if your home to relay your opinion! We are the ONLY people who would rather blast US on social media instead of having private chats with owners and managers so that they can still make a living while improving! Get. It. Together! And No I do NOT know the owner, just looking at the yelp reviews and it's just plain disgusting how we treat each other! Have some respect and decency people! Now on to my actual review, this place is the TRUTH! If you all follow this brotha on social media, you know he is MORE than just this vegan spot! He goes in the community and talks about regular food who all consume and the harmful ingredients that are in them! He is all about education! What we ordered: The liberation burger- double vegan patties, lettuce, homemade sauce and vegan cheese! Everything about this burger was GOOD! The patties were seasoned and actually had good flavor! They weren't crumbling but held their own! I haaaaaate vegan cheese. Literally never met a vegan pre made cheese that I have liked! I can vaguely taste the vegan cheese on this so I was really happy about that! It was just an overall GREAT burger! The lettuce was super green, not the white ugly non nutritional part! The home made sauce I could have bottled that up! The beans!! Oh weeeee those red beans are FANTASTIC! Again, they were SEASONED SOOOO well! Mac and cheese- I told ya'll I DON'T LIKE VEGAN CHEESE! Best vegan mac hands down. More like a spaghetti of sorts but yummy in my tummy! Strawberry biscuits POPEYES WHO?!? Big, warm, DELICIOUS! Strawberry drink had huge strawberries in them! Fantastic! Yes you can order on their website and then give it about 30-45 mins and head on over! He makes everything literally when you order it so patience is KEY! I had zero issues waiting.
