When I started riding bikes with my hubby after retirement a few months ago, I told him this was…read morethe first coffee shop I wanted to ride to. It's tucked away in Lake Vista in a beautiful neighborhood. We were surprised to walk in and see so many children and parents enjoying breakfast. Saint Pius is in the same circle. It's decorated so cute with all things Nola and has various items available for sale at the counter. They also have some outdoor tables and chairs. It's a cafe and they served breakfast and lunch along with coffee and other drinks along with ice cream and treats. The cashier/barista was very friendly and answered my questions. I went with the cafe latte with sugarfree caramel syrup and my hubby went with a traditional cup of joe. We also ordered a cinnamon roll that were just out of the oven fresh and covered in icing. Everything was delicious! They are pet friendly and even have some doggie snacks and ice cream. They also host events that you can find on their Instagram profile. We will be back!

Stroll in for an ice cream for the little ones while you enjoy Prosecco in a proper glass. There is also a variety of local artwork, which is fun to peruse and handy for the home or a gift. The service is very, very friendly, and not pushy. A gem at the heart of the bird streets.

I visited here last Friday morning for the first time. There was free street parking across the…read morestreet. It was very crowded inside. So, the tables were pretty full. I ordered a light lemony-flavored pastry that had a powdered sugar on top. It was somewhat like a scone but not completely. I really enjoyed it. I also had the napoleon which was also really tasty. The cappuccino was also good. I took one star off because the tables and floors were not as clean as I would have preferred. This could've just been due to how busy it was but because of this I am less likely to eat inside again. I'd likely just order items to go.

They have a large selection of coffee, matcha and desserts available. I went with an Iced Latte and warmed cinnamon roll which was moist and delicious. The latte was good as well. There's a large indoor seating area as well as tables outside. They offered free WiFi if you want to sit and work which a few people were doing. It was a nice experience!

I went to Evolve with the intent to study and try it out since I have heard a lot of people raving…read moreabout this place. The employees are nice and gave us plenty of time to look at the menu before we ordered. The space is bigger than I expected, with lots of seating areas, tables, and couches. There are also a lot of outlets anf the music is not too loud in my opinion, so I believe it is the perfect study spot. 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 business is Black Women owned and it's such a nice place to swing thru where you can never go wrong. The only thing is that it's a bit small inside but they also have seating in the shade outside that actually gets a nice breeze.

I was able to charge my camera & chill while taking my time. i needed a nap immediately after eating here, way too good, I know they put their love and elbows in the food.

Perfection. Huge portion and delicious. I want it now just writing about it. Also great Vietnamese food! Amazing pork bao. So good I'm excited to get the pork vermicelli noodles next time. Also if they can cook meat that good, then you know those Banh Mi will be amazing. Also the Vietnamese Ice Coffee is the pinnacle of what life should be. The staff is super nice and treated us like royalty. We will be back! This is our breakfast place now.

At work we sponsor small events regularly, and Chez Pierre Bao buns are ALWAYS a hit. People love the little grilled-pork-filled buns, and i think they appreciate trying something a little unique. I can't neglect to mention that whether I'm having a tasty pho in person or taking a catering order to go, the staff is always efficient, professional, and friendly.

Crêpes Rendez Vous has become one of my favorite hidden gems in the New Orleans area. From the…read moremoment you walk inside, the atmosphere sets the tone. The lighthouse-themed décor creates a warm, inviting ambiance that immediately makes you feel at home. It feels like a place designed for people to slow down, connect, and enjoy life's simple pleasures. The real secret behind this restaurant is the love that goes into every item they serve. 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. Another thing I appreciate is that everything is cooked to order. Whether you're dining inside or taking advantage of their convenient drive-through, the food always arrives piping hot and fresh. 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. If you're looking for a memorable breakfast, brunch, dessert, or simply a place that serves food with heart, this is it. Five stars without hesitation.

Maybe I don't get it, but everything about my meal there was off. From the unusual ordering…read moreprocedure to the upstairs seating, the tables are all 2 tops and the food was just mediocre. My Croque Monsieur was nothing but a ham and cheese melted in a panini press with one slice of chopped ham and very sour tasting Swiss cheese with a couple of unripe tomato slices.

The only good thing about the trip was that I now know not to go back.

It was one of those days where I happened to be off of work in the middle of the week. I was…read morecraving chicken and waffles in the worst way, and I happened to be over by this location. The stars had aligned in such a way that I knew it had to be. The location is on the corner, and you could drive right past it if you didn't know what you're looking for (and I didn't, so trust me for that!). When you walk in, there's a bar seating area, as well as some seating on the main level, and then there's a loft type level with more seating available. I'm glad I was there on a random weekday, as I feel that the line to get in could probably get long on the weekend. Service was prompt, drinks were replenished as needed, and the chicken and waffles were just as I had dreamed they would be. Now, I know that not everyone loves chicken and waffles, but fret not, as they have all kinds of other breakfast options for you to enjoy. Your visit will not be in vain!

We were greeted with a smile when we entered and sat immediately. Our server "Jyair" I believe his name was, was so patient and calm and kind.

So we ended up throwing 80% of them out. Seriously the second worst donuts I've ever had (the other was a place called 5 sisters). The burger was a lot of flavors - not always in a good way...it was just like taking 17 things and smashing them together in a burger and the burger itself was MASSIVELY overcooked...it was 5 minutes past any pink left and just short of a hockey puck. The chicken sandwich was fine, again...lots of flavors, but not any consistent flavor in a way that made sense or was really good just more different flavors. The waffle fries with cheese were deconstructed and there was some bbq sauce that I still don't know what it was supposed to go on (that being said it was the best thing I got). And the meal was $70?!?!?!? Yikes. Hard pass on this place.
