Amazing little diner!!! We needed breakfast after an early flight in, close to the airport, and this fit the bill. The menu is not plain or ordinary - great modern breakfast options. The biscuit breakfast sandwich was huge - all the portions were, and so good. The coffee - incredible. From local Pretty Coffee Roasters. One person in our party cannot have a lot of caffeine, and even the decaf was smooth and delicious. Finally, the beignets. We got one order to share. I've been to New Orleans probably 20 times in my life, had Cafe du Monde beignets every time, and I kid you not, these beignets give Cafe du Monde a run for its money. They are a bit different, and I can't quite describe how, except they are richer in flavor. To die for. read more

Nice little spot in lovely Rivertown in Kenner. Very nice service, and I got what may have been the most impressive, and delicious, breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I jokingly asked if there were 10 eggs on my sandwich! It's a knife and fork sandwich after a bite or two because the delicious biscuit just couldn't handle it. My GF just got a scone, and it was also so good she made me take a taste, and I agreed. Our only knock was we didn't like the coffee - maybe we should have checked and maybe we got a lighter roast than we like - we both like pretty rich, dark coffees. read more

We went for a Sunday breakfast. Ambiance is like a small cafe diner with limited seating and also serves as a bakery. We were seated quickly as there wasn't a wait when we arrived. The wait staff were friendly. The prices were also reasonable. The food was ok, though there were a few items not available that morning. I ate grits, eggs, and bacon. read more

Quick service. Friendly employees. Delicious coffee (iced latte with praline). I had a muffin, my boyfriend had scrambled eggs and toast. I love finding little places off the beaten path. And it's nice before or after a walk around the levee. read more

Why did I pass this place up all this time? I know why, I thought they only sold pastries well silly me for thinking. When I tell you I was so surprised at how delicious the breakfast was at this restaurant. We sat outside because the day was beautiful but the inside was extremely small and only the bar was available. I ordered the breakfast bowl, hands down the best bowl I've had in New Orleans PERIOD! The French toast wasn't great to me it was lacking sweetness and flavor but the texture was good. But that breakfast bowl will take me back each time. read more

I have passed this place many times. And obviously robbed myself of a great experience many times! The staff were friendly. The view by the window was so peaceful. I went at 9am and it was a soothing calm environment. I looked over the menu with lots of great choices and chose the breakfast bowl. Best decision of my day. The eggs were light and fluffy with a great taste. The grits were cooked to perfection and the bacon was right on the edge of crispy so I could really taste the flavor. I also ordered the biscuit with a couple jelly's (one being bacon jam suggested by a great waitress). It was so warm and fluffy and super tasty. What blew me away was the presentation! This place really cares about what they put out. The prices are reasonable and the product is remarkably fresh and delicious. I will be back and I will bring anyone I can. read more

Went there for brunch on Sunday. The coffee is always delicious, and the food is always on point. Ordered the Grilled Caprese. The mozzarella was fresh, as was the basil. The balsamic glaze was sweet but not too sweet. The servers are always pleasant, and the restaurant is small but quaint. Have never been disappointed. read more

It's a cute place - straightforward. Just walk in, order your dessert and leave or sit. They do have a few places to sit. No one else was there when I walked in. The person behind the counter could not tell me if there was corn syrup in the cakes so I did not ask any more questions. I just said thank you and left. I'm sure it's wonderful to be able to eat like that however I can't since I'm allergic to corn syrup and I don't eat seed oils either. read more

FOOD Really good and creative enough to be intriguing without being bizarre. I had the breakfast burrito (sounds boring, but it wasn't), the freshness and combo of verde sauce and chorizo hit that proverbial spot for me. I was interested in the Bananas Foster and the Red Velvet Elvis pancakes, but it was a toss-up between the burrito or the Beignet BLT. I loved it, but next time I will go for the decadent BBLT, because why not? Plus, it looks so scrumptious. I ordered some cookies to go, so good and creative that I came back to load up my carry-on bag for wifey to share, good choice. The doberge cake was calling my name, so pretty, but too pricey. SERVICE Folks were adequately friendly, but it seemed they didn't get quite enough sleep the night before, reminds me of when I was 25. It took a few more minutes than I expected for my breakfast, but it was well worth it. I only got one coffee refill, because the tables became increasingly full, while the server was... slightly overwhelmed. AMBIENCE Parking was challenging, until i figured out that the entire building was Debbie. Felt like traditional old time New Orleans style parking. The building is clean, though the entrance door is a bit ramshackle, 1950's vintage, not maintained as well as it could be. When I returned for my second batch of cookies, there was inly one staffer in the front of the house, though I'm sure more were in the back, baking. The server probably fit in the category of gender fluid, not surprising considering the signage posted. I'm down with that, but if it makes you uncomfortable, you may wish to have dinner at Gendusa's a few blocks away where the NASCAR races on Fox Sports dominates the dining room, with photos of Italian gangsters adorn the walls. Different strokes and all. All in all, I will go out of my way to visit Debbie on the Levee next time I visit. read more

Absolutely wonderful beignets! Perfectly crispy while simultaneously fluffy and dense. So tasty piping hot and alongside some of their yummy cold brew with simple syrup and oat milk . The staff were warm and friendly as well, and the shop overall had a very cozy feel. I saw they have milk and cookies happy hour during the week which is just adorable. Note that they charge an automatic 15% gratuity for service. read more

Omg. Hands down the best. We had the loaded hashbrowns, classic breakfast plate (the pancakes had a whipped cinnamon butter) and couldn't decide what bakery goods so just picked four to go. So so good! Friendly prompt service and good prices too. A must. read more

Absolutely great service and even better food! Loved it and can't wait to go back! The atmosphere has a very relaxed and cool vibe

Quaint restaurant with excellent service, food and desserts. First time guest celebrating a birthday. Had an amazing breakfast. Every part was enough for 2 and the pastries were an added pleasure. Highly recommend. They have board games and card games to keep you busy while you wait for food. The wait is worth it!! read more

We got to try Debbie on the Levee as a Yelp Elite Perk. It was a cute bakery and bar. (Unique combo, no?) I'm so glad I go to try this place! I don't live in Kenner, so I would have never discovered it otherwise! Complimentary with the Yelp Elite event, we got cookies and flavored milks! We tried a pistachio cherry cookie, which was delicious. The dough was pistachio flavored and chewy, with dried cherry chunks throughout. The chocolate chip cookie was a crispier cookie with tons of mini chocolate chips in it. The flavored milks were yummy too, soft in flavor and not super sweet, so it's not overwhelming. They have regular milk, almond milk, and oat milk. They were out of the Twix flavored milk, so I'll have to come back to try it again some time! We purchased a lavender lemonade ($2.50), and this was fantastic!! Just a little sweet and tart, surprisingly flavorful with a strong (but really pleasant) lavender infusion. I could drink that all day! We also tried their apple curry handpie ($4) I loved the slight hint of curry taste in the apple filling. It was warmed up for us, so it felt freshly baked. Lastly, we bought a jalapeño cheddar scone ($4). This was good too. It was actually more moist than expected (not dried out at all!). The spicy heat from the jalapeño was mild, just a touch. I would say the price and portions for everything is fair as a bakery and bar. They do have a 15% service charge automatically applied, but the staff there are so attentive while you eat and drink there (great service: refills your water and comes to check on you while eating) and working hard to fulfill your order (warming up the pastries and bartending), so I think it's a good idea to bring a little cash for tipping too! read more

Worth the drive out of town to visit! Food is well seasoned, not spicy but they salted the eggs and everything was delightful! The team really took care of us and was super nice and sweet.

More people should know this location exists. I'm a fan of Debbie does Doberge cakes and have visited the bakery bar a lot. Whenever someone has a birthday I order a Debbie does doberge cake to wow them. Everybody always loves the cakes I get from here. I went to for Yelp Elite week for the milk and cookies and got 2 chocolate chip cookies and a strawberry milk and a Cinnamon Toast milk. The cookie was good and it was even better when I dipped it in the cinnamon toast milk. This would be a great thing to enjoy with kids. Both milk flavors I got were good. I want to try the Twix milk next time. They have a milk and cookies happy hour during the week and I definitely recommend going. I was also told they have brunch at this location. I'll be back for that. While I was there I decided to get a king cake doberge cake and it was so good. I'm thankful I don't live too close to this location because I'd probably get a slice of cake every single day if I did lol. read more

Such an experience on a Sunday afternoon! I have been looking for a savory scone and was also in need of a pick me up. The workers were wonderful and super friendly. I was a little picky about how I wanted my coffee made, but the lovely barista ensured the drink would meet my desires and even offered to make me another if I didn't like the first. I didn't have to take them up on that offer because it was absolutely perfect! The scone was terrific. 10/10 recommend. great energy, great attitudes, great service and terrific coffee and pastries! read more

Delicious and creative food offerings here. Inspiring craft cocktails and a smiling interactive staff makes this place enjoyable and unique.

From the coffee old fashioned to the caprese sammy to the sides and the service, everything is phenomenal. Little small breakfast spot that brings a lot of power. First time here and will 100% be coming back. If you haven't tried them go give it a shot read more

This is the type of place you want to eat at everyday. I started following on Facebook after seeing a cake slice photo and it's been on my list of things to get to for over a year unfortunately. Doh! ‍. I ordered an iced pistachio latte and a biscuit breakfast sandwich with bacon. The latte was great and they keep the flavor year round so that's A++. The breakfast sandwich looked so good I had to take a photo. A hearty size with a biscuit that melts in your mouth. One bite and you almost want gobble it all up like Cookie Monster. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. I lingered longer and chatted with the friendly staff as if we were old friends. Perfect place to take a new friend. Sadly I had no room for dessert but I already know what I'm getting next time. Highly recommend you get there ASAP. read more

I had to try that King Cake Cocktail that I saw pictures of all over their facebook page. I came here around 2pm on a Friday. I was the only one there, so I made friends with the bartender and the cashier with the fun hair. The drink was a nice, relaxing break since I was giving myself a little pick me up. It was indeed strong, but flavorful and fun. The interior of the restaurant is bigger than I was expecting and spacious enough to be spread out. I would say this would be a great place for a groups. The big windows bring in plenty of natural light and the art on the wall gives the place a fun personality. Service and product was 5 star quality! read more

Most restaurants in New Orleans are amazing, and Debbie on the Levee does not disappoint. The breakfast sandwiches are especially good, and the Foster French Toast is worth trying. This particular french toast is good because while having sweet butter, sauce, and bananas, the toast itself is not. The two types of flavor lend perfectly to each other. The coffee is good as well, and there is great customer service. The employees are friendly, and you can tell that they care about their customers. This cafe has a fun atmosphere, with board games such as "Sorry!" for customers to play while waiting. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys a board game, cup of coffee, or a good breakfast. read more

This is a gem in River town area of Kenner! The have a small menu of savory items ( mainly breakfast type but served all day and there are some non-breakfast options too) along with an array of sweet treats including the famous doberge cakes and cake bites! You should try the ginger cookie with a blood orange icing that has a hint of spiciness to it! The chipotle grilled cheese is served with 3 dipping sauces and the breakfast burrito is packed full of flavor! In addition to this and the ginger cookie I also had the doberge bites in the flavors black and gold, nectar cream, wedding cake and a goat cheese and fig one. I was surprised to find them open at 5 on a Sunday and a nice surprise it was! They also have many specialty cocktails to choose from. I wish I would've taken pix but I just jumped right in to my food! Service was super friendly and attentive! read more

Edit to add a fifth star since the owner came on and stated that they give the surcharge to the employees. BRAVO!!!! So bye bye Miss American Pie, I drove to Debbie on the Levee, but the levee was not dry! Because they sell some creative sounding alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages! I had seen the pictures from the Yelp Elite Event a long time ago, I have been stalking them on the various social media sites and I have been wanting to come. I finally took the time to come out, and I did not regret it. The service was amazing. Parking on the side or in the back. Inside was neat and clean. I got the mac and cheese and a wedding cake doberge bite to dine in. Both were amazing. I got some blueberry hand pies, apple hand pies, a few doberge bites to go for some family coming in from out of town and everyone was amazed and impressed. The only questionable thing is that they have 15% surcharge on all transactions. Their website and all signs in the restaurant say that they do this. When I asked the gal working the counter what it was for, she skirted discussing what it was for. If it was simply for credit card transactions, that is one thing, but they evidently do it for cash transactions as well. I would hope for the answer that it goes to the employees, but it does not implicitly say that, and the employee did not say that it did. This location is a bit out of the way from where I live, but I will be back if I am in the area again. read more

I have fallen in love with this adorable place. I ordered a glass of wine and key lime tart. The key lime tart is amazing! It was the perfect way to end the work day. In addition, I ordered 6 doberge petit fours to go. I did taste one before I left. The lemon was so delicious. About 30 minutes after the left, I realized that I left my doberge petit fours. Madi had put them in refrigerator for me. I came back with the tot, and I decided to order the jalapeño cheese scone, and I got the tot a chocolate chip cookie. She loved the cookie, and I devoured the scone. It was shameful how quickly I ate that HUGE scone. This is the place where I can sip a little wine alone, chill with the tot, have part of date night, and/or catch up with a friend. Booze AND desserts! Yes, please!!!! read more
