This place is under staffed. One cook, one server. Order was supposed to be ready in 20mins Took over an hour. Staff is unhappy, but it's definitely understandable read more

One of the very best donuts that I have ever had! My dad had a bakery. We made donuts that were very similar to Joe's read more

This place has very good glazed beignets. I honestly don't come here for anything else but them. I may try some of their homestyle meals because it looks good on the menu board but the glazed beignets is my go to for sweets cravings. Service has always been very friendly and inviting. I would definitely recommend them for your sweet tooth needs. read more

The cashier at the front counter was polite that was the only thing Good about the service.... If you are African American Decent, spend ya money somewhere else..... read more

SLOWWWWWWW you will wait over an hour for eggs and bacon and they will still get your order wrong and overcooked!! I have never seen more of sh*t show in my life!! If you say anything about it you will be blamed for the error. You have been warned! read more

Food was on point we had a country breakfast with a twist we added fried fish, fish was cooked and season just right. atmosphere was fun and non stressful. Was delighted when the kitchen manager Angela asked how we enjoyed our meal and was answering all our questions regarding King cakes and donuts. Angela was knowledgeable about every aspect of her restaurant. It was a great experience, and we appreciate the kitchen manager showing the genuine concern of our overall visit not just the food hospitality that you rarely see anymore read more

Don't bother going to this location. This is the second time we were told it would be an hour to order breakfast through the drive thru. This is unacceptable for an established break place. read more

I walked into Joe's today, because it is my daughter's favorite place. And when I walked in, I was greeted with a huge apology. Which means a lot. The employee was super frustrated that day because my orders weren't ready which is completely understandable. read more

This is my 2nd time getting an inedible bacon, egg & cheese croissant. I've ordered this meal so many times in the past with NO problem. It's like they drench the croissant in grease. I took the egg & bacon off and will have to just eat that with some toast because there's no way I can eat that greasy croissant. read more

They did not tell me I had to wait a whole hour just to get some beignets and the girl is just standing there doing nothing. Also she is not helping out and actually doing stuff all she clearly knows how to do is do nothing. Their also very under staffed so thats also part of the issue. Then when you confront them about it they will pay dumb. read more

If you know me, you know how much I love donuts. I'm very picky and take the art of frying dough very seriously lol. But Joe's has won a special place in my heart and breakfast lineup. The donuts are great, like be five-ten mins late to work great. I usually stick with original glaze but my son and family speak highly of the other flavors; powered jelly, strawberry with sprinkles, chocolate covered, etc. The younger staff is usually more friendly in the afternoon, where the atmosphere is usually more lax. But no matter the time of day, the line moves extremely slow (even if you're the only car or person waiting), which can be a little annoying. But the donuts are great and the breakfast sandwiches are yummy and affordable. read more

The food is good but the health department needs to pay the a visit. The server coughed three times and never considered washing her hands. No gloves no washing of hands. Where is the health department?? Where is the retraining? No one wants to be Covid sick !!! The food is good. Minus the germs read more

Disgusting environment, including the clogged toilet. Food was meh, it was clear I had arrived to late in the night to receive proper service. Go somewhere else. Zydecos, Salvos, or McDonalds for that matter... read more

06FEB24 ~ The King Cake was good, similar in taste & quality to most of the other major King Cake providers. Because of the manner in which it was packaged about 40% of the icing stuck to the plastic. The price was, again, right in line with the major King Cake suppliers. The service was weak. The young woman behind the counter did her job but in facial expressions, voice, & mannerisms did nothing to tell me she liked her job & was definitely not happy about doing her job. read more

A cafe type joint that I think is a nice spot to grab a bite that's not fast food. Gives me a Waffle House type vibe, but more upscale. Lolol. I ordered the Western Omelet and added cheese grits. The omelet was nothing special, as the eggs were not fluffy, in which that is what I like. The grits were lumpy, and the food came out lukewarm. Decent lil spot if you want to sit down and get food that's not fast food but reasonably priced. read more

Absolutely sweetest employees EVER! The beignets were made to order so they were sooo fresh. Crunchy outside and melt in your mouth inside. They are a bit on the smaller side, but they offered glazed AND powdered which I thought was so unique! I also got a med mocha which was delicious. Definitely recommend going here! The place is so cute and small and even has a drive thru (so convenient!) In total I spent $13 for 8 beignets and a medium coffee. read more

Needs to update hours. Went for a late night snack at 11pm and was told that they closed at 10pm.

We came the other day and it was AWKWARD AF in there. We opened the door and EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, turned and looked at us with a scowl!! It was like we were walking into a place we didn't belong. The doughnuts were good however. We tired again today and went to the drive thru... and automated message said "welcome to joes cafe! Someone will be with you in a moment!" We waited 5-8 mins and no one said a work to us so we left. I guess they don't need the business? ‍ read more

Great breakfast joint! The workers are always serving comfort, which makes the ordering experience a breeze. The restaurant also has inside dining for customers that want to enjoy their atmosphere. read more

This was actually a pleasant surprise when we ventured out for a quick breakfast. Real eggs, thick bacon and a pretty decent biscuit. The biscuit was fairly large so it definitely hit the spot. The price was also very reasonable for what you would expect from the quality. Hands down this breakfast sandwich beat anything you'd get at a fast food joint or quick serve restaurant. The donuts are great too, if you prefer something sweeter. read more

ZERO STARS! I just walked out the Terry Pkwy location where I was going for breakfast. I sat at the counter near the drive through window where the employee saw me sit but didn't utter a sound. (You work the drive through, I get it so you get a pass) i noticed they were a little busy with two waiters so I was patient until both waitresses walked by, looked at me, saw I didn't have a menu and STILL neither said a WORD...at least say I'll be with you shortly, or acknowledge my presence in so way, hell, be a MUTE but at least give me a menu! NEVER AGAIN! my money will be spent elsewhere. CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING IS OVERDUE read more

If I was allergic to tomato.. I would have been a goner.. I asked for PoBoy Dressed No Tomato.. got me 3 slices.. I asked to add the extra $2 for drink and chips.. staff said not on PoBoy.. My food was severed in a ToGo container.. why is that.. is it because I'm not White.. because everyone around me was served on Plate... I was here last November.. horrible service.. I thought I would get it another try since I live close.. Nope Not Coming Back read more

I'll be the first to admit that I usually don't go for donuts. If I'm going to go for something sweet, I just go for cake, but Joe's might change all that. For some reason, I've become kind of obsessed with their donuts. More specifically, their chocolate sprinkle donuts and their glazed chocolate donuts that actually have a really rich chocolate flavor. Either one will make for a perfect dessert when a craving hits. They also have a variety of other sweet and pastries that I have to resist when my sweet tooth kicks in. Did someone say McKenzie's turtles?! Oh yeah. I've been here for lunch once and the experience was great. Even though the restaurant was packed, service was attentive and friendly. I got a club sandwich with a side of grits and some donut holes, because when you're eating in a diner, and all of that is available, you go for it. The sandwich was really good, but curiously only had ham and bacon on it as the meats. I guess that's their version of a club and that's fine with me, I enjoyed it. The grits were yummy and, of course, the sweets always hit the spot because they're known for their donuts. I have yet to try breakfast here, but I'll be doing so soon. I'm glad there's a Joe's in Terrytown. read more

Sigh. The saga of crazy restaurant stories continues ... This place just opened which is why I hate to do this b/c I understand the crazy of opening up a store for the first time buttttttttt it's my duty to let people know what's up. So let's start with the positives. Great Coffee on the first trip. The second trip- I don't know what was going on. I should've stayed in drive through. Speaking of drive through, everything is made to order so if you're looking for fast service like Burger King - you're looking in the wrong place to grab your morning muffin. You're better off coming inside. First experience, was drive through. Nothing bad about it just took longer than expected- I asked the woman with the bright braids if she would like me to pull up front so that she can take the next person she said no and then shortly after asked could I pull up to the front - in my head I was like - I literally just asked you- but I let it go and I received my order 15 minutes later and It was hot so I can't complain there. They did forget to give me syrup which I found strange being that I ordered pancakes. But oh well I left with my Joe on the Rocks happy as a clam. Second visit I went inside. What in the hell did I walk into? My order took 35 minutes and the woman who took my order was so badly trained she couldn't tell a lid from a cup I tell ya. My joe on the rocks was not even filled up to the top as usual - she didn't even know how to make it - so I'm super frustrated but I was being patient with her b/c I know how it is to receive bad training and left to defend yourself. It was just a cluster of craziness. The woman taking my order couldn't find the buttons to place my order the woman she was asking for help was running around helping other orders.. she was about to crash I tell ya. And if she would have said "I'm new here I don't know" one more time I would have screamed. I'm over here like what. In . The . Karen is going on here.!?! So of course I reviewed the ticket to make sure she didn't over charge me... I felt more stressed being there than leaving there .. it was people backed up almost to the door. #Circus Town. And now I hear that Chris in the back is putting human waste in food!?! Which is crazy b/c all I seen were melanated men in the back cooking. So I don't know where that came from. Would I go back..that's up for question. The prices vs the portion size barely seems worth it. read more

Joe's is pretty good, but I'm still not totally convinced that it's worth the money. Before an important doctor appointment at a hospital downtown, we decided to stop at Joe's and grab some donuts to eat on the way. As we pulled in, we noticed through the windows that it was totally packed inside, so we opted for the drive thru which had a short line. The menu... TONS of breakfast options, but all are at prices of a dine-in breakfast restaurant. A $12+ breakfast sandwich? Holy cow! I can't speak on if the breakfast meals are worth it, but that price sure is slightly intimidating for a drive thru menu. The donuts were all pretty expensive (like $3-4+ each), too, so we got the basic dozen of glazed donuts for about $9. The drive thru was quick and when we got to the window, we were immediately handed a box of hot, fresh donuts. It was pretty interesting, too, that they give you your food before they process the payment. Maybe because they want to show customers they trust us? I don't know. Just something a little different than most fast food restaurants we've been to. Once we paid and left, we dug in. The donuts were hot, the dough was soft and they weren't overbearingly sweet, but they still just didn't convince me that they're THAT much better than donuts you can grab from the local grocery store. I'm definitely not completely ready to write off the place just yet because I would like to at least TRY their specialty donuts and other menu items like the sandwiches and burgers, but if I didn't make it to Joe's again before we move away, I wouldn't be sad or feel like I've really missed out. read more

Food and new place were very good. Great service too. The killer for me and it's an easy fix is REAL COFFEE CUPS! please if I'm eating in I want a real cup and a bottle of ketchup not packets. Other customers around me said the same thing. Please fix this It's an easy fix and people want y'all to do well. read more

Always a treat and the ride is always happy for! The Bavarian cream is stuffed in there!

Best doughnuts in New Orleans, well maybe tied w Gerald's but they are damn good! Omletttes here are also the bomb. And the burger is a hidden gem, with the bun made in house. My favorite coffee shop on the Wank fosho. read more

I give this establishment 3 stars. The smell of fresh coffee and donuts aroma is in the air. Well that's always pleasant. They do not take orders over the phone but you do have option to order online . I believe they should do both. read more

I don't really enjoy joe's cafe. The donuts are usually good only when they are freshly made but once they start to lose the freshness of them in such little time they are no longer good to me to indulge on. I've tried the food also and could be better read more

Today was the first day of the Happy Hour special from 3pm to 5. I arrived at 3 and ordered the roast beef poboy combo. The special is dine in only. They had 1 lady taking care of lobby and drive through and 1 cook in the back. Sandwich good. My sister, bro-in-law and niece joined me. They ordered same poboy and my sister claimed dressed. We were told they were out of lettuce and truck was coming in the morning. If the server wasn't rushed, she could have repeated the order instead of my sister receiving plain roast beef. She wasn't pleased. I'll give them one more try. My niece ordered French toast, bacon and scrambled eggs. The bacon was too hard to chew. They also need a trash can in the lobby, instead of a small circle hole, plate would not fit. Hopefully next time I'll have a more positive review. read more

Usually go to the drive thru for a coffee, but today decided to try the food. Big mistake. The chicken Caesar wrap was such a mess put together I'm surprised anyone in the kitchen felt enough pride to serve that, not to mention finding little chicken bones was a pretty big turn off. The overpriced onion rings were greasy and half of them were the outer skin of the onion that you don't want to eat. Also threw away the crawfish and corn soup I had bought for my son.. certainly by the way it tasted and smelled, I didn't want either one of us eating it and getting sick such a waste of money, and the rude girl at the window today was enough for me to never go back. read more

Every time I come here I expect a little wait but today it was over 50 mins!! Mind you I just had a procedure done on my back so I hadn't eaten since last night. Me and my friend both order the pot roast I get mine with mashed potatoes and macaroni also a cup of potato soup. I got a plate full of gravy and crawfish and corn soup I didn't even order that. My friend got the pot roast as well with mashed potatoes no gravy and steamed veggies she got Mac and cheese no potatoes. We called to tell them the issue and asked for the manager which I doubt we talked to they just said to bring the food back for a refund and my friend informs them we don't have the time so they say come tomorrow and she asked do we need to bring the food back tomorrow and they said yes who does that? They also were very abrupt on the phone and we didn't even get to finish what we were saying before they hung up. They screwed up and want us to bring the food back tomorrow? I also paid with a debit card and was refunded cash less the tip I left. Soooo she went back to return the food since I was filling a prescription at Walgreens and got the money back. But it was for the food and not the tip which is still a charge on my debit card. I won't be coming back this was a very terrible experience and the only compensation we got was the e refund minus the tip and 6 donuts. One would think after 50 our order would be perfect but another let down. I was giving them another chance but they failed miserably my last visit they screwed up my food too. I'll just stick to my favorite gas station for lunch for now on. read more

SLOOOOOOOOWWWW service inside the restaurant and in the drive thru. You will get stuck in the parking lot for an hour if their drive thru is long. Been there several times and this was the last time. Go to Terry Town Cafe down the street. Their donuts are better, they're open 24/7 and the staff is more friendly! read more

Worst. Service. Ever. I only come here because I do like the food and live across the street. But the service is the shittest service ever. read more

We normally go to Joe's for breakfast on Sunday mornings which is wonderful so we thought we'd try lunch on a Saturday and they sure missed the mark. My husband ordered pot roast, mashed potatoes w/gravy. He received cold pot roast and rice which he promptly sent back and they obviously put it in the microwave because is was so hot, he couldn't eat it. I ordered the patty melt and validated that it came with grilled onions....the server said it did but when my meal was delivered not an onion in sight. I definitely will think twice about returning... read more

Love the breakfast and egg rolls are delicious!! Service is great very friendly staff.
