Located inside The Rink, another cafe for the uptown area. The coffee was great, but the turkey pastry I got was very bland. The barista was friendly, but some of the other young workers were extremely loud. I was in a far corner, and one was yelling about her day to day to the coworkers as they took up a table doing a task. I heard every word and so did everyone else at the cafe at the time. I typically wouldn't say anything but it was very disruptive and went on for a while.

Mocha latte

We stopped in here for breakfast before our cruise. Everything was delicious and the place was clean and bright and hopping. Service was friendly and we found seats despite being a party of 5.

Sausage & egg breakfast biscuit

We had a scheduled Garden District architecture tour that started at the Rink on Prytania and we're looking for a place for breakfast beforehand when we stumbled on The Chicory House. This cute cafe is part of the Rink and was a great find. You order counter side but the bring you beverages and food to the table. Ordering counter side means you get to see their pastry case when ordering. We'd decided on a slice of their apple spice cake before anything else. It was so delicious with small bits of apple and even spice throughout. One of us ordered the biscuit sausage breakfast sandwich and the other a custom grits bowl with bacon crumbles and cheddar cheese along with a hot chocolate. The food well well priced and delicious. The biscuit sandwich was palm sized (larger than expected), flaky and had well seasoned sausage patty and eggs. The grits were well cooked & seasoned and a bit elevated with the bacon and cheese. This was a cute breakfast spot with indoor and porch seating. It was perfect for a quick but filling breakfast.

Had lunch here before our tour of the garden district. Sandwiches were tasty and the cafe is so cute. Also has a bookstore and shops right upstairs.

Nitro cold brew
Gabrielle A.

Ambiance was amazing . Staff was very nice as well. I got the boudin toast , very different but loved it . The nitro cold brew wasn't the best but definitely will try other beverages again .

Sweet potato biscuits

Amazing service with great coffee! You gotta have the sweet potato biscuit! Great stop when strolling the garden district!

Iced hibiscus!
Saphace A.

Our group was about to do the Garden district walking tour but wanted to get some caffeine. Most of my coworkers got lattes. I opted for the tea of the day, iced hibiscus with another flavor in it that I can't recall. Refreshing! Lots of green decor in here! It shares the same building as a few other businesses. A few tables inside and outside. Wonderful staff! They were very accommodating since there were so many of us.

Favorite cafe that we stopped into during our stay in NOLA! My iced carmel oat milk latte was INCREDIBLE. Had to come back for another one the next day. Food: Chicken salad sandwich- definitely recommend, very tasty! Ham sandwich- very tasty was well, was a 2nd favorite Turkey sandwich - meh, needed a sauce or something to add more flavor and it was a bit dry. Staff was very nice and loved the almost beachy vibe inside.

Cocktail menu at Mardi Gras 2023
Swati S.

This place is relatively new ( less than two years old ) and they're trying a lot of new things, but it seems they have their menu set for scones and sandwiches and salads as well as coffees and teas. Simply put, I don't enjoy the food. I find it overpriced and the service is not always the greatest. I feel like the food is lacking a certain amount of flavor and it's too generic for New Orleans. I think the big thing they get right is the table which they set up outdoors for Mardi Gras; the rest of the time it's OK if I skip it, I will give them credit for providing an average reasonable ambience for working in terms of the inside as a coffee shop. And that's about it.

Walking in the place is adorable and inviting. It has a good looking breakfast menu items and I very much enjoyed my iced chai latte. Service was a little slow but friendly.

A cute coffee house in a beautiful old neighborhood. The cafe au lait was fantastic. It's a nice place to stop in for a drink if your out and about in the garden district. Service was quick and friendly.

LOOK HOW DRY & COLD: the mystery - brownie? (even after reheating) that the condescending barista couldn't describe.

TOURIST TRAP 1. Atmosphere: this used to be the place where Garden District folk had their morning coffee. No more. The quality has tanked (See Pic). 2. Service: Anysmal. Since they reopened there is an old, snooty dude with a mustache that disdains clientele like a toilet brush. 3. Food: uggghhh no - see pic and review above. CAVEAT: This is a ruse for those on Garden District tours - like a Gray Line souvenir stop. Lovals have scattered to Ruby Slipper, Vintage, Another Broken Egg, French Truck, and even Starbucks 3-4 blocks nearby.

Great spot with beautiful outdoor seating in the garden district. Quiet and a great space to get some work done for work from home people. I had a dirty chai with oat milk and it was delicious, perfect balance of chai to espresso. The only downside is that the internet was not really working. Highly recommend otherwise and it may just have been the day too. Look forward to trying their lunch options as breakfast has no vegan option available but the veggie sandwich on the lunch menu looks great. They also have a kids menu if you're looking to bring the little ones.

Food and baked goods are mid, not bad, not great. Feels more like a tourist trap than a local community cafe.

They do have a vending machine but there are so many people trying to use it so save time and have some cash on you. There is an option for to-go so you're not dealing with the crowds or dine in. On on first day in New Orleans we explored the night life thoroughly and then stumbled across Cafe Du Monde, it wasn't too late at night but they were still opened which was nice. It was such a hot, humid night so we got their frozen cafe au lait and an order of their beignets. They paired so well together as we walked back to our street car line. I had a cafe au lait every day, it kept me cool and gave me some much needed energy with the heat. I know there's some debate on what cafe has the best beignets because I did find the night time versions do not compare to the fluffiness of those during the day.

I can't believe that I did not write a review before, maybe I did and it disappeared. Whatever the…read morecase, this place is an icon that literally every single person who visits New Orleans does or should visit. The lines can be long but if you time it right (like we did) you can walk right in and get a table. We arrived about 3pm and found a table immediately. The review starts and ends with beignets. In case you have not heard, they are outstanding. Once you can flag a server and place your order, they come out a few minutes later piping hot and smothered in powder sugar. It is hard to describe the pure delight of the first bite, quickly followed by a second and third (depending on your tolerance for really hot fried dough). Everyone loves them, as well they should. In October 2026 an order of 3 was $4.83. We got two orders for 3 people and they were gone before you knew it. If you have not been, you must. If you have, you know exactly what I am talking about.

The cold brew is wicked strong like much stronger than what I order normally at Starbucks. 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.

The fried 'seafood' platter contains farm-raised imported shrimp, farm-raised imported Swai (a foreign garbage-eating pond-raised fish), and farmed oysters for $26. No thanks. Ok. Switching to gumbo. Uh, their 'gumbo' is a thin broth with virtually no solid ingredients besides white rice. A very few minuscule shreds of chicken and maybe a 6-8 tiny cubes of some tasteless sausage for $17. It did come with a nice biscuit. Be aware of what's being served. Stick to the well-known real-deal restaurants. Not everything is what it claims to be. Nothing real about this ripoff. We'll never go back to this tourist trap.

Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.
