    Daily Special
    Shannon S.

    This is a great spot I was glad to discover as it was new to me along with also being near a spot I used to work at so I wish I would have known about it sooner. A husband and wife own and run this place and they are some really nice folks. They have a nice rotation of daily specials during the week and it is a pleasant place to enjoy a meal. I have only managed one visit so far to sample their burger and some fantastic onion rings but I still really want to try their daily specials which look fantastic. I am really craving their pot roast and I'm looking forward to sampling that as soon as possible. My video review of Ernie's Cafe is here: https://youtu.be/x00w_BiEOxk

    As someone who enjoys giving small businesses/ restaurants a try, I have to say this place was an absolute disappointment. My daughter was disappointed as well. There's quite a few things I could mention but the key things for me were the tiny portions, the pitiful "salad" with horrible Ranch dressing, & the completely unseasoned "platter" that I ordered. I paid $14 for 5 bland shrimp & 1 piece of fish. I did order gumbo ($6 for a very small cup) & it was actually pretty good. Not to mention, the service was moderate, considering you have to fix your own drink. The worst $22+ I've ever spent. I left still hungry.

    Got the Fried Pickles today, they were delicious, it was just what I was in the mood for

    Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.

    Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!

    Cute cafe! l love the decor. The furniture is very cute & standout ottoman piano did look vintage…read more This is a walk up & order at the bar venue Your are given a number to your table. The menu has many choices. I ordered the firecracker shrimp with side arugula salad. The shrimp was yummy the salad too but expected more on the salad maybe cucumber or tomatoes over all for just having cheese on Arugula with dressing was ok. I paired it with the shrimp and it was tasty! According to the hop on/off bus the beignets & champagne are the hit at this cafe. The bartender made a wonderful cocktail with champagne & it was delicious! The spot is dog friendly & in a cute little restaurant/bar row & shops area.

    If you have time for just one coffee shop in New Orleans while strolling through the Garden…read moreDistrict or Uptown, make it this one. The coffee house is the perfect match of New Orleans aesthetics and flavors. Starting with the architecture, it's housed in one of the many ornate double shotgun homes that line Magazine street. It leans into the historic aesthetic, with chandeliers, brick fireplaces, deep colors, and lots of hard wood, appearing like a quiet study or library. Be forewarned, this place can get rather busy, mostly with students studying and working. I found everyone to be respectful of the quietness of the space. On a visit at 2:00pm every interior table was full (approximately 25 tables). Hot Tip: There is a door leading to the back that states "espresso garden". We landed there, where there were 6 additional seating tables outside in a very nice space. The coffee offerings were excellent and curated. Respectful to New Orleans they use chicory in their coffee ; I am happy to have this familiar flavor but some may find it strong or bitter. I got the Tiramisu Cold Brew and the cream cut the bitterness significantly. I also ordered a savory pastry (the shroom boom) which had a crispy, flaky crust and tasted fresh. There are other coffee shops in the area; most feel very standard or corporate and don't have the richness that this location offers.

    I had an awesome experience at trumpet and drum coffee house. The vibes were awesome! And the…read morecoffee was pretty good as well. I loved the interior and exterior of this shop. I had an awesome time sitting outside - they had both a front patio and a small seating area in the back of the shop. The furniture was pretty nice and comfortable. The interior had a great vibe too - I loved the overall layout and decoration. The coffee was pretty good. It was a little bit expensive, but it was pretty darn good. I got a cappuccino, it had nice rich flavor without being too intense. Service was good, it took a little bit to get our coffee, but was happy to sit outside while we waited. It was a little busy when I went, but not too bad for a weekend. Definitely would recommend & will be back
