    Egg sandwich
    Susan R.

    Had an amazing breakfast here: egg sandwich on a biscuit with bacon and pepper jack cheese. The biscuit is rectangular for maximum surface area. Great coffee too and great vibes!

    This is a wonderfully chocolate petit four.
    VIC M.

    I enjoyed the baked items from here. The Petit Four was a good size and very chocolatey. Dark chocolate on the outside with layers of chocolate cake and cream. I also had the sweet cruffin and the Parmesan cruffin. Both were enjoyable. The service was friendly and helpful.

    Storefront
    Jennifer K.

    Ok, best scone I've had in a long time but it could be because I was in Germany for the last 6 months where they don't really have scones. This one was uniquely good though because it was the perfect texture and sweetness without tasting like a cupcake or biscuit. I had one two days in a row and even as a day old it was amazing. I had the cold brew and the London smog with vanilla instead of lavender due to the barista's on point recommendation. It was amazing! I love the cute corner store front on St. Charles and I will come back here again and again. The service was really genuine and helpful. Highly recommend, favorite coffee shop I've had in New Orleans so far! Update: downgraded to 4 star. I came in before work hoping to relax and have a cappuccino in a big ceramic mug with an encouraging heart on it.. nope, not here. I didn't express the expectation because when I said for here and not to go, I thought it was a known outcome. This is not your place if you're looking for that. Still a good place but I can't say it's better than all the other ones that give the full cafe experience.

    Smoked turkey pesto sandwich
    Valerie G.

    Popped in here around 1pm on a Thursday. There were only a handful of other people here. I got the smoked turkey sandwich with a hibiscus iced tea. The girl taking orders didn't seem to really be paying much attention. She asked me my order twice and then still got my drink wrong (ordered elderberry but got hibiscus). Don't get me wrong the drink was still good, so I wasn't too upset. They had ample seating inside and a few places to sit outside. The sandwich was great! Perfect for a light lunch.

    A little pricey
    Marguerite D.

    A little pricey for what you get. Conveniently located. Not too much charm. Won't return

    Avocado toast
    Rose S.

    Gracious bakery has a very generic feel w/a few tables, the display cases of goodies and the counter service. Don't let that fool you! The avocado toast is a nice little nosh. As with most avocado toast, I wish it would be a little bit less char/toast in the bread base so it's not like cutting into it and fearing it's going to jump off the plate and attack the person on the other side of the table. The croissants are what one loves buttery, flaky, crumbs all over you if you're not careful. Kept a couple in my purse for snacks during the day when I wandered about the Quarter. Pricing is fantastically what I would call cheap for New Orleans for excellent quality.

    Salmon bagel
    Stacy S.

    Thank you Yelpers for helping us find this cute spot for breakfast. I had the avocado toast and he had the salmon bagel. We shared a few pastries... all were delicious.

    Breakfast sandwich on a bagel
    Kristin H.

    Chose this place when searching for a quick breakfast place, and happy that we did! Easy walk from our Airbnb, on the corner of scenic St Charles in the garden district. Ordered two coffees a morning bun and breakfast sandwich. Perfect quick breakfast on the go. Pleasant service, nice little breakfast stop... and quick!

    Quiche and salad with creamy herb
    Kristina A.

    Convenient little spot in the garden district. Service was mediocre. Food was ok. The bagel was borderline burnt. We couldn't cut it with a knife. Quiche lacked flavor. The creamy herb dressing on my salad was delicious. The warm cinnamon roll was a little crunchy from the heat up. Overall served its purpose for a quick bite while in the garden district.

    Lemon Tart: is a bit more crust than lemon filling.
    Charles H.

    "OK!" 1. Food: not really a place to get an outstanding creation like O'Delice, Bittersweet, or the old Sucre. Nothing here is bad, just not special (see pic). 2. Atmosphere: here's the real problem. Back when it was a po'boy shop concrete floors and a dark eating space were common - like Matassa's or the Nelly Deli. But for a high end bakery it's kind of creepy. 3. Regardless: it's good to have in the neighborhood for a sugar rush.

    Almond croissant
    Sheila D.

    We stopped here to take a break from the chilly weather. Grabbed a latte, hibiscus ice tea and almond croissant. Service was very quick and friendly. Cute little place right on St Charles.

Streetcar Café is a perfect choice for what I was looking for: ample breakfast choices, a full bar, and excellent service by Andres. I ordered two poached eggs ($3.50), a single pancake ($4.50), and hash brown potatoes ($4). Totally reasonable pricing, and excellent meals, topped with the Always Summer (Malibu rum, Triple sec, OJ, Pineapple juice, Grenadine, $13). The place filled up pretty quickly after I arrived at around 10 a.m. Andres did an outstanding job of keeping track of my order, and served up the menu items piping hot. Couldn't finish it all, but it was a best-choice for brunch this morning.

We arrived sans reservation, but were whisked straight into the courtyard -- arguably the best seat in the house on a pleasant Louisiana evening. Between the soft night air and the glow of the courtyard, the atmosphere alone deserved applause. The cocktails arrived first and immediately set a dangerously high standard: beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and the kind of drinks that make you consider canceling your plans afterward. Fortunately, the food rose to the occasion. The edamame and roasted Brussels sprouts disappeared with alarming speed, and the Amelie Salad was a standout -- generously portioned, fresh, vibrant, and substantial enough to be an entrée or ideal for sharing if you're pretending to be civilized. A special nod to Liz, who elevated the entire experience with spot-on recommendations, warm hospitality, and the rare ability to be both attentive and effortlessly relaxed. In a city famous for memorable dining, this meal still managed to feel special -- equal parts elegant, welcoming, and unmistakably New Orleans.

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.

The coffee? Strong enough to fix your life. The service?
