We came in to grab some drinks and the selection isn't bad. We had a look around and the staff are pretty friendly. It looks to have some store made food available but unsure if it's any good. Is it like the bodegas in NY or do they just serve sandwiches here? Would take recommendations from any locals that have been here. There's also a large selection of tobacco products. There's ice cream, cold drinks and the regular convenience store candy as well. Staff were friendly, we got our drinks and took off. I think it's dog friendly as we saw a guy carrying his dog around in there.

The best meal of my New Orleans visit. Visited during a weekday afternoon. You can order with the…read morestaff at the counter or on a tablet depending on your payment type (cash/card/EBT). My food was hot n ready within 10 minutes. What I got: crawfish pie (10/5) -- $2.99 for this masterpiece. it is basically crawfish etouffee mixed with some rice stuffed into pie dough. savory, got a nice kick of heat, and love how pronounced the bell pepper flavor is shrimp po boy (10/5) -- everything is just so balanced and went down like nothing because it is so effortlessly addictive. Shrimp are seasoned and fried perfectly. came out to ~$10 and the 6" is HUGE, also easily customizable chicken sausage gumbo (5/5) -- literally feels/tastes like it is made with love. perfectly seasoned, hearty, savory, nice chunks of smoked sausage, good portion of rice It will be on my list to return to whenever I come to New Orleans.

Hidden gem ALERT!!!!!…read more I explored the French Quarter for more authentic eats, and escaped Burbon St...mission complete. New Orleans version of a NY bodega is where I found one of the best and most adorable shrimp po'boys. You'll have to put these directions into your phone, because the location is in the depths of the neighborhood district. It's walkable to and from the popular Canal Street, just much quieter and secluded. You won't be able to park on this particular street, but near by areas would allow for street parking. This is in fact a grocery store with a hot food market setup in the back. I was pleasantly greeted immediately as I entered by a gentleman stocking, and a nice lady behind the register. I immediately darted to the back of the store and saw the setup, simple with a bit of updated technology. You can order and pay at a tablet style screen, and wait for the magic to be made on the other side. It took about 5 minutes and I got a text my order was ready, the same gentleman who was stocking called out my name from the back and handed me a 12 inch shrimp po'boy for 12.00. This sandwich was incredible, loaded with crispy fried shrimp and fresh lettuce. The bun was soft and very fresh, I added extra pickles for an acidic flavor breakup to the fried fish and dough. The flavors were on point, very seasoned and perfectly cooked shrimp. I was very impressed by the price and quality....not to mention customer service. Pro Tip: My van driver mentioned to me before dropping me off at the hotel, a lot of people walk Burbon Street and turn around when it becomes residential. But there is actually a ton of life and experiences to be had off the beaten path, both local and authentic.

Mardi Gras Zone is probably my favorite place to buy food in the city…read more They have beet kimchi!!! Anything that you're looking for as far as health food they have There's so much to choose from I discovered Pam's lemon shortbread gluten-free cookies at the store and I ate a whole box once I couldn't get enough of their chicken salad from the deli A box gluten-free crackers, the chicken salad, and a couple of those cookies with a glass of unsweetened tea is one of my favorite meals! I have not been upstairs yet, I have heard wonderful things Will update when I do! Little local gem

Seemingly Racist Establishment that will target people of color …read more.... During the first week of January, my lifelong friend visited Plush Appeal to purchase Mardi Gras decor for her out of state home. We are natives of New Orleans and were raised with the proper etiquette and respect for ourselves, others and community. We are proud graduates of an affluent Catholic high school and our class of women has made quite a positive impact in this world collectively. With that said, as my friend was shopping she interacted with one of the sales associates and had a lovely conversation. This particular sales associate then left the area. Within minutes two other sales associates approached my friend, accused her of stealing, and when my friend attempted to clear her name and prove her innocence, these women refused. They stated she was on camera and despite my friend asking multiple times for proof and to view the cameras, she was again refused her request. Apparently, two large men were then instructed to escort her out to which she stated she felt extremely uncomfortable. Several of her friends have reached out to the store. Ms. Vee was so nice! CeeCee though ... the manager... when I called to ask for clarification she became nasty and hung up. Long story short, nothing was stolen. If that were the case why not call the police or show the video? Most importantly to note are the differences in skin tones. My friend is an upper class African American female who was seemingly targeted for the color of her skin. Take your business elsewhere!

I'm a HARDCORE Juantonio's fan out west but the minute I had Hola Nola during my first trip...I knew I had East Coast Corn Chips I loved. I love the Cajun flavored chips. And Rouses was walking distance from my hotel, on the way home from a stop for a NOLA Sazerac. So I grabbed me two bags... should last a week. And some hummus and other snacks. Man was I glad I did. Barely spent anything versus paying double for half of what I got at Rouses in the hotel "market." Shop local. Support the community where you're visiting. Isn't that the point of going to a city? To take it in and support it instead of just supporting big chains?! The cashier was super sweet and friendly and we chatted about cats and dogs lol Prices. Good. Location. Good. Rouses. Good.

The pharmacist has always been very helpful, however as was recently announced, that service will soon end, as they're closing the pharmacy in June and moving customers' prescriptions to the 900 Canal (& Baronne) Street location. On recent visits I've noticed limited inventory in other departments, leading me to question the long-term plans for this once-thriving Walgreens store.

She did more than this was just so rude. I'll add a pic of my receipt and hope you all can remedy this attitude.

They offer all the standard items of convenience stores from snacks, drinks, lottery in addition to household basics, medicines and of course, souvenirs and NOLA specific goods. Pricing here is a bit high, but that is not surprising. They know they are in a prime location and when you come here, you are paying for convenience. The store needs some TLC conditionally, and a little bit more attention to cleanliness wouldn't hurt. Service was super friendly and welcoming, which was a redeeming quality for this location. Overall, solid 3.5, but the cashier really made our day. We wandered in for a soda and drink, and got what we were after, but if we needed more than that, we would probably go elsewhere due to price point. But again, this spot came in clutch when needed.
