    I popped in here for a quick iced tea and I was delighted. First of all, my iced jasmine was really good, and it came in a compostable cup. It was $4, which is a good price for a tasty tea in this area. There is a lot of comfy looking seating and some folks were working on their laptops. The decor and music and vibe was so inviting it made me want to stay. Put me in a good mood!

    Iced vanilla latte to-go!

    Out of all of the coffee shops in my area this is the one I frequent most. It's right across the street from my house, and is always open when I need them. Coffee is always fresh and tasty, and the barista's are super friendly and Now know me by my name. Akeyla is my favorite barista. She remembers what I order and it's very fast when I'm in a hurry.

    Shrimps and grits with avocado toast

    Ordered a matcha latte, avocado toast, and shrimp and grits to share. The avocado toast was good. The shrimp and grits tasted good, but I wasn't able to taste the shrimp. Matcha latte was good, hard to mess that up. Overall, pleasant experience. Portions are small for what you pay, but understandable due to it being a more artsy cafe.

    Billed as "part coffee shop, part lounge, part remote office and part meeting spot", I would argue it is also "part game room, part photo op, and part uber waiting room". The instantly welcoming place is a strikingly whimsical and texturally busy space for the hotel, which is something lacking from the Virgin in Chicago. (The hotel, not D'anthony, the zoo volunteer that speaks Mandalorian). The musically-pumpin' place is comfortable, though a little to sterile to be truly cozy. Knick-knack kitschy, it's a perfect setting for a Richard Scarry book, filled to the rim with games, books, plants, lamps, art, a mannequin in a bunny suit that manages to not be out of place, and pillows with patterns so singular they can only be described as "Joann's clearance bin", all splashed with more red than a Ron Howard family reunion under the two suns of Tattooine. The blackberry mocha was good, but my wife liked the pisatchio mocha the best. A place for $6 drips (Columbe), $3 cookies, $8 bagels, and $18 breakfast sandwiches (hot breakfast options run $17-24) this place is the only thing funding Virgin Galactic. Five stars for offering free infused water, though they only fill it once. They should refill it at 5 because we were the ones manhandling it like a stolen ATM, shaking out the last drops like Steve Martin's canteen in Three Amigos. If you're familiar with other the effelles (F.L.'s, you can steal that, Richie Rich), this one ranked the highest (4.5) compared to Nashville (4.4), Dallas (4.1), and Vegas (3.8).

    Delicious food! A wonderful option we ate at daily for breakfast while at the hotel! The grits are to die for. Really loved the avocado toast too.

    Hehe the bunny guy is indeed funny (iykyk), and it is indeed a library, oh it's more than a library too :) actually a coffee shop if you didn't catch it in the photos, maybe the coolest baristas and staff, so professional and personable yes, you are in a hotel, but something about this place feels so strange, lovely, yet distinct.

    Cortado please

    Funny how? Last year during our stay at the Virgin Hotel, I'd let my wife sleep as I grabbed my morning coffee. Once I had my coffee, I'd go to the lounge, find a leather chair and just chill. 2022, I'm staying at a different hotel close by. I still want that outrageous Cortado! Last week I walked in like I owned the joint. These baristas know how to use that coffee maker, nothing but the best provided by Sir Richard. One Cortado please. I grab my freshly made, amazing coffee. I sit next to the white rabbit and smile. I'm back.

    This is the cute little coffee shop in the lobby of the Virgin hotel- eclectic decor and a great place to meet a client or colleague before heading out for the day. It's 100% enclosed/indoors so no outside seating but that's also good for inclement weather. Very narrow menu but basics to start you day: coffee, latte, etc and a few pastries.

    Stayed in the Virgin Hotel, and stopped in to Funny Library before heading to the airport. I'm always encouraged when the barista warns me that my macchiato will be tiny - that means they know what they're doing! It was delicious, and my plain bagel with cream cheese didn't disappoint either. My friends were pleased with their food orders as well! Such a fun atmosphere - I think it would take a long time to run out of quirky things to amuse yourself with. My only complaint is that the 20% off coupon I received as part of my stay was apparently only valid the first day of my stay, but I believe that is on the hotel, not Funny Library!

    Lies! Beautiful cappuccino/croissant I saw on yelp vs what I got. Sorry to be a jerk, but to the people who made that...What the??

    Located on the first floor of the Virgin Hotel New Orleans is a peculiar, colorful, and eccentric Cafe. This eclectic 'library' features a lovely selection of drinks and small-eats. A great little stop to enjoy a drink...and play "I spy" with the unique decor'! I loved the fun vibe and atmosphere, however both my husband and I's drinks were not very good. We ended up tossing both ours out before drinking even half of each.

With the recent rain, the usual…read morepotent French Quarter street smells were washed away, leaving the air beautifully fresh and the temperatures perfectly cool. Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.

We sat in our own private room and were treated to a very special delight of a dinner. I tried the incredible fried green tomatoes, the seafood soup (?) and the incredible steak...wow, everything was amazing.

You have to wait in line to order/pay so depending on how difficult the group(s)/people(s) orders are ahead of you, will dictate how fast this process will go. The place is much bigger than I initially expected. There are 2 floors with seating. It would be hard to accommodate a large party but there's plenty of seating. I live the old 80's/90's theme and decor. Such a great throwback. We ordered 2 drip coffees (you get them in a to-go cups but you can get free refills), and the Grand Slam McMuffin. Both were great. Wish the sandwiches were bigger for the price you pay. $11.50 for a breakfast sandwich is pretty steep, but it's the price you pay considering everything is homemade. I would also like to point out that there is a discrepancy on the price of adding an egg. The menu says it's $2 more but we were charged $2.50. They should really update their menu or be upfront about it. Overall a great place to have a great breakfast. * Please note that you're not allowed to have someone save a table while another waits in line to order. You must order first before being allowed to take a table.

The chicken sandwich itself was really good and honestly ended up being the star of my meal. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and the sandwich was filling enough that I was perfectly fine eating it on its own. Unfortunately, my mac & cheese was cold in the middle, so I sent it back and swapped it for the hash browns. The hash browns weren't really my favorite either, so at that point I just accepted that the chicken sandwich and I were going to ride this thing out together. My husband, on the other hand, is a TRUE breakfast person, so this was much more his territory. He ordered a steak breakfast bowl topped with eggs. He enjoyed it overall, but felt like it could've used a little more seasoning. He ended up asking for some aioli on the side, which helped give it the extra flavor he was looking for. Now the chicken and waffles? THAT was the fun part. The presentation was adorable, with the chicken served alongside the waffle cone-style presentation, and naturally I ended up eating most of his chicken. The chicken was really good, and even though I'm not a huge waffle person, I tried some of the waffle too and enjoyed what I had. It was definitely the more memorable dish at the table. I also really liked the atmosphere. It's cute, bright, and feels made for brunch, so aesthetically they understood the assignment. Overall, there were some execution issues with my sides, especially being served mac & cheese that was cold in the center, but the chicken dishes were good enough that I still enjoyed the experience. My husband enjoyed his breakfast overall, and I'd come back and give them another shot. Next time, though, I'm sticking with the chicken because clearly that's where they had me.
