I was told this is one of the best places to get beignets! And I did enjoy them but I think I liked the frozen chicory coffee the best! My friend and I split an order of 3 beignets and each got a frozen chicory coffee for under $20. I liked the service which was super friendly-- our server chatted us up because he used to live in Cali where we were from. It was hot outside and this place has indoor/outdoor seating. We chose indoor to cool off from walking around outside. We chose to visit after our Natchez Jazz cruise which docked a short 5min walk away. I would say the beignets get really messy bc of the powdered sugar getting EVERYWHERE so I suggest having a napkin or two close by. I think beignets are best eaten right away while they're warm because I took some home on a plane after buying it at the airport and they were hard as a rock. I don't recommend. So if I'm ever back in NOLA, I need to come back!

The service was great, our waitress got us in and out. The place is very high paced environment. They informed us after we asked for the bill that they are cash only. The ground was very dirty. There was a loud band that played outside the entire time. So its not a place to go and talk. Their coffee was VERY strong and when I say coffee is strong, it was. It actually gave me heart burn. The beignets were also sub par. I was disappointed in the lack of flavor. It really was just a piece of fried down with a mountain of powdered sugar on top. I was expecting their to be dipping sauces but there was not.

I honestly can't remember them all, but I think the zulu was my favorite of the night. The portions were PERFECT. Such a treat, they even had the world cup playing so bonus points for them. Highly recommended for a night out!

The iced London Fog lattes I discovered are premade, which overall my wife thought was alright, but she liked that they had gluten free blueberry muffins. The chocolate croissant was solid. The service was prompt and friendly. And the decor had a rustic ambiance with the brick walls, dark book shelving and garden patio in the back. The coffee bar has a hidden quality about it that is alluring and appealing. It was good to check out before we concluded our recent stay in NOLA.

She and the other gentleman made quick work of our dopio espressos. I tried the pistachio and raspberry cake, and it was delicious. Not too sweet, a bit rich for me.

We ordered an Avocado Bowl, and Biscuits and Gravy. They were both good! Nothing too special about them. Avocado bowl is more like a salad topped with avocado. Biscuits were soft and gravy was light! I am such a gravy girl. The service was good. Staff was friendly. We were sat immediately. Our busser was so sweet and nice. He was so fast to clear our dishes. However it did take a while to get our bill. The place is like a cute breakfast dinner. There was a second floor option, but we didn't get to explore because 2nd floor is outside and it was humid that day. In conclusion, a good breakfast spot. However, I much prefer the "Camp St." location over this one.

The Vintage - New Orleans, LA…read more The Vintage on Magazine Street was our very first food stop in New Orleans, and it turned out to be a great way for my wife and me to start our trip. From the moment we walked in, I really liked the atmosphere. The place has a cool, relaxed New Orleans vibe with a little bit of an upscale café feel without being overly fancy. It's the kind of spot where you can come in, sit down, enjoy some good food and drinks, and just take your time. Of course, we couldn't come to New Orleans and not start things off with beignets! We decided to go with the Fancy Beignet Flight, which gave us a chance to try several different flavors. We got the raspberry, s'mores, and Chantilly. They came out looking almost too good to eat, covered in powdered sugar with all the different fillings and toppings. Almost... because we definitely ate them! They were warm, sweet, messy in the best possible way, and a fun introduction to our New Orleans food adventure. For my meal, I ordered the Italian Panini with the truffle Parmesan fries. The sandwich was packed with meat, cheese, and flavor. Looking at that cross-section, they definitely weren't being stingy with the fillings! The bread was toasted nicely, and everything worked well together. The truffle fries were another highlight. They had plenty of seasoning and Parmesan and paired perfectly with the sandwich. I also grabbed a small iced mocha, which went really well with the food and especially the beignets. One thing I really enjoyed about The Vintage was the atmosphere. The interior has a lot of character, from the marble tables and vintage-style flooring to the bar and pastry display. It feels like a place that belongs on Magazine Street. It was comfortable enough that we didn't feel rushed and could just enjoy being in New Orleans together. The service was good during our visit, and everything came together for a really enjoyable first meal in the city. Our bill came to around $48 after tax and tip for the two of us, and considering we had a sandwich, upgraded fries, drinks, and the beignet flight, I thought it was a good experience for the money. Most importantly, this place gave my wife and me a great start to our New Orleans trip. When your first stop includes a loaded Italian panini, truffle Parmesan fries, iced coffee, and a whole flight of beignets, you know the trip is starting off right! Definitely a place I would visit again. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great first taste of New Orleans. 5 stars from us!
