It was very cute and nicely decorated. Our server was on top of it and gave us time to decide on what we wanted without pressuring us even though it was somewhat close to their closing time. The food was delivered quickly and was piping hot. Everything we had was excellent. The shrimp étouffée was tremendous, the flavor was on point neither the rice nor shrimp overcooked. The side salad was a good salad. The chicken sandwich was cooked nicely and seasoned well (not overly seasoned). We finished our lunch with a cookie, slice of cake and a couple lattes which were all wonderful. Definitely recommend.

I was so excited to get to try Ayu Bakehouse for the first time. On the corner of Frenchmen and…read moreDauphine in a beautiful corner building, it's just so appealing. There are some cute tables and chairs outside as well as about 10-15 seats at counters inside. I was greeted when I walked in and got in line at the counter. The pastries looked so fresh and delicious it was hard to choose just one. I went with a Pan O Chocolat, a chocolate filled croissant and iced latte. The prices are typical for a coffee and pastry. The croissant was so flaky and mouth watering. I ate very slowly enjoying each bite. The iced latte was good as well. I sat right by the espresso machine and enjoyed watching the baristas making coffees. I saw one come out with a perfect heart on top. They also have full bread loaves for sale as well as items for breakfast and lunch. I will definitely be back to try another pastry.

I wasn't a fan of the cinnamon roll due to the crunchiness of the raw cane sugar on top. Ayu is a counter service restaurant with a full service coffee setup. The line moves fairly quickly, so don't be deterred if the line is out the door. Seating is very limited, so we took our items to go. Definitely worth the visit!

The bakery has a cool open-concept layout where you can see the staff cooking and baking. However, the open kitchen also revealed some pretty noticeable hygiene issues. I noticed the staff preparing food without gloves, and I even watched an employee eat a tortilla while actively assembling burritos. Additionally, no one was wearing hairnets or hair restraints. Beyond that, seating is very limited (similar to other Bearcat locations), so I highly recommend ordering to-go!

We ordered one crab beignet each and grabbed a table nearby. The crab lumps inside were super tender and savory, I loved every single bite of it! I thought it was flavorful enough without the sauce so i didn't add much of it but my friends really liked the sauce as well. I wish the beignet itself was a bit more fluffy but I could eat the crab filling all day. Would definitely come back again!

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!

I could say everything was perfect here (super rich, flavorful, and sweet). I had their Spumoni Cheesecake which was good, my buddy recommended and ordered their Alaska cake which was good (but a bit too rich and sweet for me). Try and support local shops, Angelo was a perfect night cap to dinner. About 15 minutes away from Bourbon St, they also have locations in the airport too if you need your Italian dessert fix!

Review: Angelo Brocato is a classic stop if you're looking for great sweet treats. The Spumoni Ice Cream was incredibly good, and the Baked Alaska definitely didn't disappoint either--both are highly recommended. We also tried the Rum Custard; while it was perfectly fine, it just didn't quite live up to how great the other items were. On the upside, the prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the service was quick and efficient, meaning you won't have to wait long to get your sugar fix. Cons: Parking is highly limited and can be quite difficult to find around the shop. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up (Definitely would go back!)

The place is very simple inside, not a ton of tables but that adds to the simple feel. They did have a garbage bin that was overflowing which took away from the look. But the ladies behind the counter were pretty busy. I got a triple chocolate brownie and an affogato with the espresso ice cream. The affogato was a good serving size but it was a struggle to eat. The satisfying taste I associate with affogato wasn't there and the Gelato just wasn't smooth. The brownie was okay, I was expecting something more decadent. Serving: You order at the counter. Drinks: Basically beverage options. Seating: There's some seating inside and outside. Pets: You're good outside. Parking: Street parking.
