The drink was $7.14 which isn't too bad, but the taste is great. It's very refreshing and not heavy at all. I came on a Sunday morning and the inside was a little busy, so I decided to sit outside. They have maybe 4 tables outside with music playing so it was quite nice. One more thing -- i really like the cup lid. Sometimes you'll go to a place and the lid makes it really hard to get an even stir/shake but with their lid it's so easy as you just plug the top with a finger and shake. Small detail but it's something I appreciated. The matcha coconut water is a must try!

I ordered the Cubano Bun Mi with shredded pork, French ham and cheese on a bun mi with house green salad. The sandwich was basic, as in nothing made it memorable. I was hoping for an interesting twist of some sorts, but at $13 the sandwich was so lacking in imagination. The bun was a large burger bun, not a crispy-crusted baguette as expected. (This sandwich would have been decent at a BBQ joint if served with fries and BBQ sauce and aptly labeled a Chopped Brisket Sammich.) The house salad featured wilted greens as well as clearly old cucumbers. I left the salad uneaten on the plate and brought the poor quality of the greens to the attention of the waiter when he cleared the table and went on to share with him that the greens were clearly old and they should have noticed. He apologized. I did have the "green cookie" and it was indeed flavorful and quite sweet but not worth $4. All in all I'd probably not visit here again with so many other interesting and better priced joints to experience in NOLA.

The bakery has a light, airy, and intentional vibe that balances the rigorous standards of a serious artisan kitchen with the warmth of a local neighborhood spot. The baked goods are truly some of the best in New Orleans. The technical execution is flawless, and you can taste the high standards in every item. My absolute must-haves are the breakfast sandwiches and the croissants. The crisp, buttery layers are perfect. Highly recommend!

Perhaps you need to recognize that smart business minded people utilize various forms of payments. Or perhaps you need to establish a business account for non-cash paying customers or realize that this is the 21st century and cash isn't the only option for every consumer. I personally don't walk around with cash as once did, so this is certainly not an establishment for me. And for the $3.69 apple filled croissant, it's missing apples and filling. Yeah, this place is a hard no for me again.

They went through the books and also offered suggestions. When we picked up the cake, we were excited about how things came out! They gave directions on what we needed to do, and the owner carried the cake out to the car for us. On top of the decorations, the cake was delicious!! Everyone said how good the cake was, not too too sweet and moist. My mother froze a couple of pieces and my dad has been eating it lately, still raving about how good it is!! I will be using Sweet Generations for my cake needs. Until we meet again!!

The service was fast and friendly. The inside still has a chill aesthetic to it like before. I got a large Iced Tiramisu Latte (with tax = $8.51). The tiramisu foam the shop makes is made from scratch so it's all fresh! The coffee tasted really good, but the caffeine definitely hits you instantly since it's a cold brew mixed with that tiramisu foam. Overall, still a recommended coffee place in the West Bank area!

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.

OMG THAT ALMOND CROISSANT!…read more Seriously, it's probably the best thing I've eaten in years. The pastry is of course the same high quality that O'Delice is known for, but the croissant's thick almond cream (too viscous to be paste) is so rich it oozes. It's even better than Boulangerie's, which we all know is fricking stellar, but even it has to be heated to get the same creaminess. See my attached photo. With her excellent fresh brewed espresso this is a perfect breakfast... even better on a bench at nearby Audubon Park.

We were across the river and I found this spot via Mapquest. It is a small, quaint, hole-in-the-wall type place. Limited selection but everything looked delicious. She even offers a bag of doggie treats! Though Eclair is in the title, they didn't have any available when we went. However, I was easily talked into trying the creme brûlée crepe cake as a substitute for the eclair. We left out of there with half dozen macaroons, a gold encrusted oreo cupcake, the crepe cake slice, and a bag of doggie treats. The macaroons are simply delicious, flavorful and colorful. The oreo cupcake was a hit, and devoured quickly. My son and I split the crepe cake and it was surprisingly light. I wasn't sure what to expect with the multiple layers but was delightfully thrilled with the taste. And true to form, it had the torched sugar crusted topping. Definitely worth returning for more. Aladdin also devoured his doggie treat with gusto. One thing to note, the crepe cakes have to be ordered ahead of time and purchased whole. We were fortunate to have been able to sample a slice. I will definitely be placing an order soon. Overall, a superb find and well worth the trip. I will be returning.
