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.

Stopped in here on New Year's day just to have a matcha. No, saw the s'mores latte said new years…read moreresolutions start on Mondays only. So yummy. S'mores sometimes just tastes like sugar. But here they really gave the marshmallow chocolate cinnamon. Then I fell in love with how light and bright it was so I sat down to see what other trouble I could get into. Loved the bao bun. Good sweet and savory. After leaving I tried the cookies (oatmeal raisan and ube) and they were my favorite type of cookie. Like some how chewy but with a good bite from the outside. Not super sweet and allowing the flavor to shine. I do understand the folks who have 3 stars. They missed me with the chia pudding parfait. Every component was middle of the road. My surprise guest said the the crossaint sandwich was decent but bigger than anyone should want. They stopped eating the crossaint part on the second half. I will definitely be back. Unfortunately and fortunately I sat right where they were bringing out all the dine in orders and sooooo many things looked delicious. Wings and French toast especially.

If you're looking for an authentic, delicious King Cake, Antoine's delivers…read more This fantastic Black-owned bakery knows exactly what they're doing. 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.

Probably would get the plain one next time. The large king cakes come in a large rectangle with dark golden brown dough and lots of very fine gold, purple, green sugar on top....looks more impressive than 95% of the other king cakes which can be slathered with too much white icing, use coarse sugar, or have dough on the yellow side instead of golden brown. 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.

The cashier was so friendly and welcoming, and so were many of the customers (if not all that I had conversation with)! I love this area of Gretna to begin with, small town feels right outside the bustling New Orleans. Beautiful to stroll with your drink from Amore or have at their outdoor seating area. However, I paid $4 for a side of bacon and received TWO small pieces of bacon. Yes the bacon tasted pretty good, but that is entirely too expensive and I felt like this is not good restaurant business practice. Especially in today's economy. Look at the picture!!!

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.

Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!

The menu has many choices. I ordered the firecracker shrimp with side arugula salad.

I paired it with the shrimp and it was tasty! According to the hop on/off bus the beignets & champagne are the hit at this cafe. The bartender made a wonderful cocktail with champagne & it was delicious! The spot is dog friendly & in a cute little restaurant/bar row & shops area.
