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.

Dough Nguyener's Bakery -- 4…read more 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.

Well, they have a great plain donut. Moist with just a hint of the frying oil, tasty dough... excellent! One bite of the fritter gave me a sugar rush!! Very good.. The breakfast sandwich was fantastic. The croissant was very good with nice crispy bacon, and fresh egg and cheese. Waaaayyy better than MickeyDs, and better price ($3.99). I haven't had many better.

I said, hey how are you. He spoke and I said excuse me because I couldn't hear what was said. Turns out he had AirPods in and didn't even acknowledge that I had spoken. He just continued his conversation with no regards to my greeting. I ordered my two donuts and the entire transaction was in silence. The donuts are very subpar, the only reason i return is because of convenience. After ordering a total wasn't given, no receipt was offered, and no farewell. Im not expecting top notch service but it's just plain rude to be ignored. I'm not coming back and I hope this location closes to make space for something better. TLDR; terrible attitude, bad service

The King Cake was fresh, soft, and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, with just the right amount of icing and traditional Mardi Gras flair. The texture was spot on: light, fluffy, and flavorful in every bite. You can taste the quality and care that goes into their baking. It feels like a true neighborhood staple and a place worth supporting. Highly recommend during Carnival season or anytime you're craving something special.

Not wanting to leave empty-handed...I grabbed a slice of cake and some sweet potato pie...and let me tell you...both were absolutely excellent...rich, flavorful, and worth every bite...that alone convinced me it would be worth making a return trip...so much so...I actually changed my travel plans from 4am to 6am just to try those beignets. The next morning...I arrived right at 6am...along with about five other customers already waiting outside...we stood there expecting the doors to open...but after a while...one customer called inside and was told they couldn't open because they didn't have a cashier yet...one by one...everyone left. I stayed until about 6:15am...hoping things would turn around...but eventually had to leave as well. That was definitely disappointing...especially knowing they lost at least five or more customers that morning. I'm really hoping this was just a one-time situation...because based on the cake and pie alone...this place has something special...I'll definitely give them another shot on my next visit... but hopefully next time...the service matches the quality of the desserts.

A tourist spot for sure, with a ridiculous wait time, they only accept cash and have a very limited menu. Now the menu doesn't bother me because i was really only here for the beignets and while they were not bad they were not very remarkable, and honestly i've had better outside of new orleans. I don't recommend coming here to actually enjoy anything and the staff is rushing you out the minute you sit down because of the wait time. I think you're better off finding better beignets elsewhere in new orleans, skip this tourist trap. I will add that the prices are fairly cheap so that's nice.

We also got almond croissant which was delicious, especially after a bit of time in the toaster oven. The chocolate croissant is unique for its layer of chocolate glaze on top.

Now let's talk about breakfast: Weekday around lunch. About 1/4 of seats taken. As best I could tell, 2 or 3 servers. Coffee, OJ and soda brought promptly after ordering. FYI - drinks reasonably priced. I opted for Spinach & Swiss omelette, hash browns well done and biscuit. He opted for Meatlover's omelette, hash browns and toast. 25 minutes later breakfast was served. Husband's order was fine: tasty omelette, and the toast was well buttered. Mine? The Swiss was sticking out of the omelette and it was a slice not melted. The cheese inside the omelette was melted, and overall it had good flavor. The hash browns had good flavor, but they were not well done. The biscuit was not buttered - there was butter on the table - and it was nice and dense to support slathering it in jelly. The waitress checked on us a couple of times. I made no comment whether it was good or bad, because I was going to eat it anyway. As a general rule I don't send things back, and in this instance given the time it took to get it, I was starved and certainly wasn't sending it back. Leftovers box and checkout was super quick.
