    Sincerely love this place I go every Saturday and Sunday. The staff are great and they remember their usuals. Also the food is prepared to order their egg sandwich is my favorite breakfast. Great studying or breakfast date spot

    Dirty horchata ice latte, cold brew coffee, soy milk latte

    Hidden coffee shop in the lobby of a hotel. They had plenty of seating and everything is so affordable! I got the dirty horchata ($4.50) ice latte and it was so flavorful and strong. Honestly best latte I've had in a while. My friends also enjoyed their drinks ($3-4). The service was quick and friendly. Would highly recommend for affordable good coffee

    broken yolk sandwich - yummy
    Kelly G.

    They make perfect eggs. A couple of times I just got eggs and a croissant. I was amazed at how perfect the yolks were done. Fast service. Charming ambiance in a historic hotel. A nice way to start the day.

    A small classic breakfast cafe, it was very wonderful and the staff were informative and kind. The food was on point very delicious and not very heavy on the stomach. The cafe was quaint and beautiful!

    broken yolk sandwich

    Sandwich was simple, but had a burst of flavor with some delicious garlic aioli! The grits were so creamy, perfectly seasoned, I wanted to eat two helpings but I was so full!! Also a delicious cappuccino and a beautiful little space. It's in a historic hotel in towns and it's absolutely perfect and quaint. The team of staff was very attentive and friendly, I appreciate so much that the manager (I think) came to speak to us directly !! I saw the eggs Benedict all over Yelp and that's what I was looking forward to, he explained some changes; and I found a delicious alternative! Definitely a place to stop by on your way through New Orleans!

    The Silver Whistle Café, inside the Pontchartrain Hotel. Convenient location, excellent food.

    The Silver Whistle Café, inside the Pontchartrain Hotel. One of my family's favorite breakfast spots. Convenient location, right off St Charles Street, excellent food, excellent service. Being a breakfast spot, there is a limited menu and limited hours, sadly, 7am to 11am. So you need to be a morning person (shudder!) to enjoy their delicious breakfasts. For what the Silver Whistle Café is, Five-Star food and Seven-Star service.

    Very cool cafe about 2 blocks from the hotel I stayed at for a short first weekend in NOLA. We had a large group of us and had planned to meet here for breakfast in the morning. The location is right in the Garden District off of Charles Street so I was worried about a long wait, but looks like NOLA Saturday mornings are a little "sleepier" that I had anticipated (that or we just really lucked out). First come, first serve seating. You can also walk up to the counter and order to-go breakfast (quick coffee, etc). It actually worked out perfect since there were about 8 of us and there is a 10-top round table in the front corner... I'm sure it could seat a couple of 2-3 people parties as a communal table, but for our experience, we claimed it as our own. Our server was super nice and took really good care of us. I know larger parties tend to be more difficult, but she made it look easy... even gave us some tips about public transport when she saw us trying to buy day passes on our phones. The menu isn't that big, but you will want to order ALL OF IT. I settled on the Benedict. The other advantage of a larger group, is you can see the other dishes people order... and then start having FOMO. It's all good, I thought my choice was the right one, but it seems like everyone was super happy with the food they received. I highly recommend stopping and hanging out here... even look up at the ceiling! You can tell the building has been here a while.

    To go orders. Love the decor and atmosphere.

    I was really excited about this spot, great location inside a historic hotel. Breakfast menu is small but sufficient. They also have a variety of coffee offerings include espresso, lattes, etc. My mother and I ate here on a Tuesday morning. It was NOT busy and they had 3 ladies working the front. What rates them 3 stars is the fact that it took them 20+ minutes to make my latte and deliver it to the table. My food ended up coming out before the latte and the chef ended up making it himself. I don't know what the other 2 ladies were doing but they definitely weren't organized. Extremely irritating for something that can be made in less than 2 minutes. Really ruined the experience for me. I recommend the food but bring your own coffee!!

And Cafe Du Monde is a quintessential must go place in the Crescent City! Even for locals, nothing beats a plate of fresh beignets covered in powdered sugar ashes down by a nice cup of cafe au lait made with strong chickpea laced coffee. Go for the beignets and stay for the people watching. Like the food court at the Mall of America's, you'll see every walk of life come to Cafe Du Monde. You might even see a local musician or politician here. The vibe and the beignets keep people coming back. Laissez les beignets rouller!

I had the chance to come back to the city last weekend, when a good friend from my Italy days was in town for a conference. I was able to meet her to explore the city for a day, and we of course had to make room for beignets and Cafe du Monde. We almost settled for one of the locations at an indoor mall, but we stuck out a 20-30 min walk from where we were to make it to the original at the French Quarter. Since it was just two of us, we were able to get seated pretty quickly even though there was an expected Saturday morning line. I am also glad my friend had cash because they STILL only accept cash for payment. No credit cards, which is wild at any US establishment nowadays. We also tried to only order one plate of beignets (come in a set of 3) and one coffee each but the server came back with two beignet plates and coffees. $20 with tax included! The beignets themselves were scrumptious, warm, and delicious ofcourse. So I suppose worth any inconvenience that we may have experienced. However, the tables are left incredibly messy. It is true that our server did wipe off our table before we sat down but it is embarrassing to see patrons create such a mess to begin with.

We went all in: shrimp and grits that were downright phenomenal (I'm still thinking about them), a goat cheese omelette that was so good it made me question all my past breakfast decisions, and pancakes with berries that tasted like they were made by someone who genuinely cares about your happiness. The coffee? Strong enough to fix your life. The service? Warm, attentive, and somehow psychic--they just knew when we needed refills or another mimosa (which, for the record, felt less like a drink and more like a lifestyle choice). Honestly, this place doesn't just serve breakfast--it gives you a reason to get out of bed. 10/10 would wake up early again... and I do not say that lightly.

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!

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.
