Eggs anyway you like it plus bacon and coffee.

Eric C.

Yummy eggs anyway you like it plus added bacon. Wide selection of choices plus surprisingly there is a drive thru. Located in a quiet business center. Buy and sit type of eating but I'm sure if you are a regular, you are treated with extra care. Check it out for an area close to the airport.

My first time visiting and it was so cute and quaint for breakfast. It was just what I was looking for after leaving the airport. The atmosphere was busy but not overbearing. I enjoyed the hustle and bustle. The food was on spot! I was hungry and ordered pancakes, eggs, and bacon. The bacon was cold but the eggs made up for it. I enjoyed the powered sugar on the pancakes. The customer service was impeccable. I'll be back to try that veggie omelette soon!

Always a favorite breakfast spot! Friendly staff and delicious food. My family has been going here since I was a kid to their old location. This new location (across the street) is so cute and well kept. Plenty of parking and tables. Even a few outdoor tables for a pretty day!

I've always been a fan of Chateau Cafe but I had only ever been to the old location in Kenner that's now closed. I tried this location a few months ago and it was pretty decent. However, I will say I did not like it as much as I enjoyed the old location. My mom ordered the garden salad and added protein. It looked delicious and she said it tasted good as well. The salad portion size was pretty big for take out but it got pricy after adding on a protein. I ordered the chicken club which wasn't exactly what I was imagining when I order clubs at cafes. It was just cut in half but the portion size was definitively bigger than when you order a club at another restaurant like McAlister's. The chicken club was good but I will say the bottom piece of bread got very soggy very quickly. We ordered to-go and it took about 45 minutes in the drive thru. I got a frozen coffee while we waited and that was to die for! I would go back to try something new but I will say it's a little on the pricier side.

I really liked the consistency of the coffee--it's thicker, creamier, and more concentrated, which makes it stronger than your usual cup. I was recommended to try adding chicory (a classic New Orleans touch from back in the day when coffee was stretched), but I'm still on the fence about it. It adds a slightly bitter, herbal root flavor--kind of like ginseng. It's not bad, just different, and I think I still prefer my regular iced coffee with a splash of whole milk. The service was quick and efficient, and the staff were very friendly. Overall, it's a great little grab-and-go café if you're on the move. read more

Friendly, laidback neighborhood place is good for all ages. Stopped for a quick, fresh, delicious lunch - turkey and avocado on wheat toast with chips, chicken club sandwich with French fries, and well-seasoned, boiled shrimp on a crispy salad - all served in a comfortable, bright, unpretentious space. Daily specials and large variety offered on the menu add to Chateau's appeal. Outdoor seating and LOTS of free, off-street parking available. Convenient location. read more

I ordered Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso with oat milk and I am not the biggest fan of it. There was a weird sour after taste to the coffee which I am unsure where it is coming from. I imagine if it was a little sweeter, it may have been more enjoyable. When I sat down to start on some work, I tried to connect to the cafe wifi, having seen the password posted on a sheet of paper near the counter. The wifi gave me and my friend a couple issues when trying to connect. After about 5-10 minutes of errors and no internet signals, we decided to use out hotspots. We were eventually able to use the wifi after maybe 30 minutes, so if you are able to find a connection, it is fine but if you are unable to, it can be frustrating.

The crêpes are absolutely outstanding, and I highly recommend trying them. My personal favorite is the Strawberry Lemon Curd crêpe. The combination of sweet strawberries and bright lemon curd is perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. Every bite tastes fresh, handcrafted, and made with care. If you're a carrot cake lover, you owe it to yourself to try theirs. In my opinion, it is the best carrot cake in America. It's moist, flavorful, perfectly spiced, and unforgettable.

The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. In a world filled with rushed meals and chain restaurants, Crêpes Rendez Vous stands apart by delivering exceptional food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that feels truly special.

My only small complaint is that the sweet potato habanero sauce isn't as thick as it used to be. I'm a little annoyed about that, but it still tastes exactly the same Cochon Butcher remains one of those must visit New Orleans spots that never disappoints. Great food, great service, and a place I'll always adore.

If you're wondering if Cochon Butcher is worth the hype, it absolutely is. It's totally clear why…read morethey are Michelin-recommended. We ordered the black-eyed pea chili and the muffuletta, and the sandwich completely stole the show. The bread was perfectly soft, and you can really taste the difference in quality with their in-house meats. The olive salad tied the whole thing together, complementing the rich, savory flavors perfectly. That being said, the space gets extremely crowded on busy days. It's tight enough that you'll likely have people bumping into your chair or brushing past you while you eat and walk through the dining room. The biggest downside was the service at the counter. The line to the cashiers was very disorganized. Instead of calling the next person in line, one cashier was pulling people up at random, which made the ordering process frustrating. Overall, the food is fantastic, but be prepared for chaotic crowds and a messy ordering system during peak hours.

Two Chicks Café - CBD

The stories about the line are true: it was mid morning on a Sunday, and there was definitely a line, but we put in for a table for three and were seated within 20 minutes. First up was a bloody mary, the canonical brunch beverage, and it was a winner. Dressed with some nice veggies in handled jar, it was delicious and refreshing. As for the food, I was torn between a couple of the benedicts, so I ended up combining and getting crab cake and andouille sausage, both on the same croissant. It was delicious if a bit much; I ended up taking half to go. The crab cake was substantial in size, with a good crab to cake ratio, and the sauce which was touted to be excellent, certainly was. This was a very tasty breakfast. The decor was very cute and bright, and our server had a great smile and proper NOLA accent, tending to all of our needs with aplomb. It was a great experience, and one I'd do again for sure.

We sat outside cuz it was busy so I'm not sure what the inside looks like. The outside tables are just on the sidewalk along the street so not much to comment on.

Surrey's Café & Juice Bar

My wife and I had breakfast at Surrey's Cafe & Juice Bar, and it absolutely lived up to the hype…read more We decided to share two dishes: the Bananas Foster French Toast and the Boudin Breakfast Biscuit. Both were outstanding. The Bananas Foster French Toast was rich, indulgent, and packed with flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet. The bananas and sauce were the perfect complement to the French toast, making it feel like a New Orleans dessert and breakfast all in one. The Boudin Breakfast Biscuit was equally impressive. The biscuit was fresh and flaky, and the boudin added a delicious Cajun flavor that set it apart from a typical breakfast sausage. Every bite was savory, satisfying, and uniquely Louisiana. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it's easy to see why Surrey's has such a loyal following. If you're visiting New Orleans and looking for a memorable breakfast, put this place on your list. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

The food was fantastic, and I have to recognize the staff that really looked out for my mom while we waited. The hostess was so kind in allowing my mom to sit inside and have coffee until our table was ready. I didn't mind at all waiting outside because it was such a beautiful day, and it was just great being in New Orleans. I will say the food was astronomically delicious. If I could provide a 10 rating, I definitely would. From the French toast made with the po' boy bread to the shrimp and grits and the crab omelette, my taste buds were so happy. This place is a true gem. I can't wait to come back and try more. Such a great experience.
