My favorite drink is back! It's the matcha coconut water which I believe is a spring and summer seasonal drink now, and it's as good as I remember. The drink was $7.14 which isn't too bad, but the taste is great. It's very refreshing and not heavy at all. I came on a Sunday morning and the inside was a little busy, so I decided to sit outside. They have maybe 4 tables outside with music playing so it was quite nice. One more thing -- i really like the cup lid. Sometimes you'll go to a place and the lid makes it really hard to get an even stir/shake but with their lid it's so easy as you just plug the top with a finger and shake. Small detail but it's something I appreciated. The matcha coconut water is a must try! read more

Dough Nguyener's Bakery -- 4 Dough Nguyener's really introduced me and my son to the flavors of ube and pandan... and I still can't believe I went my whole life without them. Like where have I been?! We are forever grateful for that alone. As someone who already loves Vietnamese culture through food here in New Orleans, this place just hits. Vietnamese coffee is a staple for me--not even for energy, but for the flavor. If you know, you know... that bold, strong, chicory-meets-condensed-milk moment. It's rich, it's cultural, it's intentional. And when you start adding things like pandan cold foam? Simple, but it speaks volumes about the influence and beauty of the Vietnamese community here. I respect it, deeply. Now let's talk about that Croffle... a croissant-waffle situation. I went with the Chantilly and berries because... you already know, I'm gonna choose what feels like home every time. The cream was smooth, the fruit was fresh, everything worked. My only thing--personally--it was a little heavy on the almonds for me. Still good, just my preference. We also had The American--eggs, bacon, French ham, hand-cut fries, garlic aioli, and a baguette. I shared it with my son and made my own little sandwich moment with it. Used the aioli as a base, layered the eggs, bacon, and ham... and I feel like that's exactly what it was meant for. Solid, simple, and filling. I've tried a few other things too like the bánh mì and donuts. The bánh mì was good, donuts were okay... not my go-to for that. But that frozen cocktail? Listen... it was TOO good. Took it to a festival with me and between that drink and that sun, I slept the whole festival away lol. Overall, I'll definitely be back. I still want to try more from the kitchen--especially that chicken everybody keeps talking about. This is a great spot for early weekend brunch, late evening studying, or weekday coffee runs. Not too small, not too big. Beautiful lighting. A really good addition to Gretna. read more

I tried out one of their summer specials, a large Iced Coconut Water with Matcha Foam (with tax = $8.24), & their Strawberry and Blueberry Coconut Chia Pudding (with tax = $7.64). The Chia Pudding was really good! The texture was so light and fluffy. All of the ingredients blended well together. The Iced Coconut Water with Matcha Foam was good too. It was really refreshing, but I wished that the drink had more of a strong matcha flavor to it. It was still a solid drink. The service was okay and quick. The inside looked the same like last time, but still very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Overall, a way better experience than my first time at Dough Nguyener. read more

I love this place! The workers are so friendly and the coffee is bomb!!! I love Vietnamese iced coffee, and you can get some variety with the egg coffee and pandan coffee. Their food is super yummy too. I got the hot honey shrimp sliders, which was $15 total for three huge sliders which I think is a pretty good deal. read more

Dough Nguyener - Egg coffee Pandan coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

They gave me a horrible drink and then refused to exchange it, saying I would "just have to buy a new one".............. After I just paid almost ten dollars for a drink that is full and is getting trashed. I didn't even leave the establishment or anything like that. I would understand if maybe someone was trying to give back a drink that was empty or something but that was not the case. Crazy to think the owners are really THAT cheap lmao. Also, they are MAGA which is gross. read more

Love this place. They have optimized seating in the space they have but wish it were a little bigger for weekends when it's more crowded.

Oh my! Vietnamese coffee is my new obsession and I loved it so much, I came here twice in one weekend! I ordered the ice cafe trung, both times! And what that is, is a classic Vietnamese egg coffee that combines chilled coffee with a rich and creamy whipped egg yolk topping, in addition to my favorite part - condensed milk! It was creamy and so smooth. I just really savored it, the second time anyway. I probably downed the first one in a minute and I ordered the large. Tthe condensed milk with the egg yolk flavors were singing! I had no idea I would love this so much and I am great I tried something new. I also ordered the special of the day, the fried chicken sandwich. It was crispy and I loved the pickles, but it was not my favorite fried chicken sandwich. Something was different with the batter, it was almost like a tempura, like fry, but the sauce did help. It was good enough for me to eat all of it. I also had a slice of the cookie butter cheesecake. It was very good too, again not my favorite, but again, I ate every bit of it. Their coffee was the star, and if I came here twice in one weekend for that coffee, that says a lot! I would love that coffee every day. read more

Whoever was working the drive thru today needs to fix their attitude that's all I can say. We ordered ONE kolache. We get to the window she says "one or two?" We said ONE. She rung up two. We said we only ordered ONE. She said "you just said you wanted two" with the stinkiest attitude and look on her face. No queen we said ONE two different times.

I moved recently, but forgot to update my review before leaving. I did go back and try one more thing before I left, and I will say the nutella croffle was amazing! Still never got any lunch food, but I still think about that croffle till this day. If I'm ever back on the WB around breakfast time, I will absolutely be stopping by for one! I also got the french toast iced latte and loved it. read more

Vietnamese coffee was amazing! Actually bought two for myself. Also had an egg/cheese cross aint that was on point. Donuts were great too. Service and speed was elite. The only issue are the prices. Kinda crazy having to spend $40 a dozen donuts/coffee/sandwhich. That's without the second coffee which was like $10 by itself. read more

Great lunch choice for our group today, while visiting Gretna on business. Very smooth process for ordering and lots of great choices for lunch and sweet treats. One had Shrimp Toast (think avocado toast presentation), one had the Hot Honey Chicken Sliders (actually sized between a slider and a full "dinner-sized" sandwich. Needless to say, only one was finished because of the size. I had the Jambon Mi (sic?) and it was for me a perfect ham and Swiss sandwich. Loved it! The chicken and my sandwich both came with fresh-cut fries and those were also phenomenal. Had to try their Biscoff cookie for a treat and if you like Biscoff then it was every bit (and more) that you would expect. To top it off, everything averaged about $15 per person for lunch. Check it out! You won't be sorry. read more

Been wanting to try this place out for so long, and finally got the chance to since I was in New Orleans. I think the drinks were good, a little on the sweeter side. The banh mi was decent too. What I loved the most was the interior decorations! My last name is Nguyen as well so I was definitely digging the vibes. read more

Stopped in here on New Year's day just to have a matcha. No, saw the s'mores latte said new years resolutions start on Mondays only. So yummy. S'mores sometimes just tastes like sugar. But here they really gave the marshmallow chocolate cinnamon. Then I fell in love with how light and bright it was so I sat down to see what other trouble I could get into. Loved the bao bun. Good sweet and savory. After leaving I tried the cookies (oatmeal raisan and ube) and they were my favorite type of cookie. Like some how chewy but with a good bite from the outside. Not super sweet and allowing the flavor to shine. I do understand the folks who have 3 stars. They missed me with the chia pudding parfait. Every component was middle of the road. My surprise guest said the the crossaint sandwich was decent but bigger than anyone should want. They stopped eating the crossaint part on the second half. I will definitely be back. Unfortunately and fortunately I sat right where they were bringing out all the dine in orders and sooooo many things looked delicious. Wings and French toast especially. read more

What an amazing culinary surprise on the West Bank!! I had heard this place is a 'Nguyener' because of its great, unique eats, and it absolutely is!! It is a Vietnamese bakery that serves up the most delicious fresh baked goods as savory bites like Bahn mi. I'm normally the savory eater and my so much sweet, but walking In and seeing all of their baked sweet treats, I was drawn in. I had their almond croissant and Bahn mi with baked chicken thigh - both were amazing. It was a lot of food too took me about three sessions to eat it all. The staff was friendly, the facility was super clean, and I found the prices to be favorable based on the quality and quantity of food. I am definitely looking forward to returning soon! read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! I thought it was so cute and I'm so glad I found it. Me and my boyfriend came here for brunch while my cuz and her husband was at the 49ers game which they won btw... Sorry Saints :/ But anyways, this joint was so cute! I love the decor and vibe inside and outside. Restrooms were mad clean. Staff was super friendly. Food size was ginormous! And yummy at that!! My boyfriend and I loved it! We had a super cool experience here and would definitely come back if we're ever in New Orleans again :) Thanx Nguyeners!!! read more

Dough Nguyener's is 1 block from my home which makes it easy to enjoy all the good items that they have to offer. Just look at my pictures that I posted of all the pastries and Banh Mi sandwiches available here. During Mardi Gras season you can special order King Cakes which are pretty good. The fried chicken and hot honey sliders are legit as well. Just give at least 20 minutes for the fried chicken as it's cooked to order. The service here is awesome, parking is easy just across the street. The dining and restrooms are always clean. You order your food at the counter and then it's delivered to your table. You can also create an account their website for pickup or catering options. Enjoy and eat local! read more

Stopped in for a snack on a Friday afternoon. Very close to closing time for them, but they were up front about what was available and what was too late to get. Atmosphere inside was nice, quiet with lots of lighting and the delicious smells of bakery and coffee. We were able to get parking in an empty lot across the street. Had my first Vietnamese coffee with cold foam. After 2 sweeteners, it was very good. Paired it with a cherry cheese Danish and I was set! Cousin ordered a matcha tea an a fruit cheesecake, which she promptly devoured. Will go back to try the breakfast and lunch options; they're bound to be good. read more

This is a great lunch spot with an outdoor seating option. I love their pink brand color too! Inside, the tables are close together, making it tricky and uncomfortable to squeeze between them, especially when it's crowded. Tip for remote workers: If you're planning to work here, bring your laptop fully charged. There's only one accessible indoor outlet (by the front door), and it's a popular table. Outdoor outlets are available, but the WiFi doesn't work outside. Food & Drinks: Food-wise, I recommend the sliders, turkey sandwich, or Nguyening Wings with shrimp toast. The hot vanilla latte is decent. I've had better at cafes and coffee shops across the river, but this is the best coffee I've found on the Westbank. I also like that they keep clean cups on the counter if you want water. Other drink options include Coca-Cola products and iced tea. Heads up: Their menu is on the pricier side. If you're a french fry fanatic like me, I'd skip theirs. The shape is awkward, they're pricey, and they are sold separately from sandwiches. Unless you're splitting with others, you'll probably have leftovers. Pastries: Pastries aren't a strong point. Cupcakes I've tried haven't been fresh or moist, the strawberry cupcake tasted like a grocery store's boxed mix, and the chocolate cupcake icing was extremely hard both times I tried it. The turkey and Swiss croissant was just okay. Although it was heated, the turkey and cheese inside were cold. Service: Service tends to be better on weekends, as staff are more attentive, knowledgeable about entree's ingredients and availability of substitutions, and overall warmer and friendlier compared to weekday afternoons. I like that they have to-go containers on the counter so you don't have to wait for a staff member to bring one. I do wish there was a designated spot for used plates, since staff can take a while to clear them, especially outside. Heads up: The kitchen closes weekdays from 2-4 p.m. before reopening and weekends at 2 p.m. (the restaurant closes at 3 p.m. on weekends). During those times, you can still get pastries and drinks. read more

A cute little bakery with excellent breakfast and lunch options! The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were fresh and delicious.

I don't typically give 5 stars and I never give any star that isn't earned!!! These folks deserve every star given. This is a cute little spot in Metairie and it's super clean and convenient. They serve doughnuts and other pastries along with some breakfast and lunch items. They also have a nice drink menu. I've been a few times and I'll be a repeat customer as long as I live here. Today I got Vietnamese coffee which is delicious! I also got the berry toast which is filling, delicious, and nutritious! It's covered in fresh berries....blueberries are firm and not mushy (I don't like mushy fruit). I've also had their baguette before which you need in your life if you're a carb lover like me. Today I also did garlic rice to eat later! Everything is cooked to order and the service is superb!! read more

Went here solo for a sweet little birthday lunch on Thursday. It's more than a bakery although my sweet tooth thinks that is the best part. They have sandwich's, small & big plate meals, a variety of coffee and teas, and don't forget the pastries. Ordering is easy and customer service is always on point here. There's plenty of seating inside or on the patio. It's such a cute bakery!! I had the shrimp tempura rolls, matcha iced tea, pandan cupcake and my ultimate fav pandan cookie. Don't judge on the 2 desserts it was my birthday. My food was out in less than 10 minutes and oh so yummy! I sat on the patio to enjoy a delicious meal on a beautiful sunny day!

I came here because I wanted to try their king cakes as I saw some flavors that interested me. The place was chic. Very nice location and the building is solid with parking on the back and a drive through. The ube coffee was one of the things we got as they didn't have pandan king cakes and that was super tasty the only thing missing was getting some foods from here but I will be back. We did have a pastry and that was delicious. Service was fast and super nice. read more

I was so excited to try this place after all the race reviews but it was so disappointing. When we got there, we grabbed a table for our group. The tables on either side of us had not been bussed and were full with dirty plates and left over food. I saw no urgency for anyone to bus it. A guy finally came over and bussed one of the tables so we could use it but did not wipe the dirty/ wet surfaces. We say down for a solid 10 minutes before realizing it was counter service. When we got to the counter, there were two cashiers. One was very helpful and friendly and the other one was short and rude. Guess which one I got. She was annoyed by my questions and instead of asking me directly if I had already placed and order, she turned and asked the other (friendly) cashier if I had already ordered. This seemed rude and idiotic as I was standing there with menu in hand and asking questions about the menu. I finally got my order in and ordered the chicken wraps. Highly disappointing and over priced. The chicken was served in large chicken strips/nuggets and so dry and over cooked , I could hardly cut it in smaller pieces to get them to fit into the lettuce as a wrap. I gave up and tried to eat as a salad and cut everything small but gave up again half way and left the rest. Wasn't even worth taking home the left overs. I tried other dishes from my group including- wings (7/10), garlic noodles (8/10). Do not plan to come back to a dirty restaurant with unreliable and rude service and bad food. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this cute, "insta-friendly" spot open 7 days a week! We didn't realize there's a huge indoor dining space and was happy to enjoy a lovely dine-in brunch feast. Line moved quickly. There's a few communal high top tables too if you can't get a conventional table. Service extremely friendly and fast. Tables were turning over fairly quickly and staff were quick to clean in between. Crispy shrimp banh mi didn't disappoint!! Bread was PERFECT. And iykyk that's the distinguishing factor between a good and great banh mi. Don't sleep on the egg banhmi though, I was really taken back by the unique seasoning and flavor of the gently folded, fried egg whites. Ube latte at $7 was made of really good Vietnamese coffee, strong chicory as it should be. Last but not least, also got the croiwaffle, which was a croissant-batter waffle topped with a huge helping of mixed fruits, condensed milk and almonds. Never thought of or had anything like this before - very good even though we were stuffed. read more
