The shrimp, which are real gulf shrimp, and if they aren't then they could've fooled me. They were so good, cooked perfectly. The grits were creamy and the sauce was so flavorful. My only issue was that the paper wasn't edible lol. I can't wait to give this place another try. Not pictured was a strawberry matcha and southern pompom - which were both so good.

Happy Birthday To Me, right. I found it to be a quaint neighborhood cafe with hours from 7am - 3pm; perfect cafe hours. As I approached the cashier, I noticed a middle aged lady with bright fiery red hair... I just knew from her vibrant appearance, she'd be bubbly, BUT she wasn't. Lol. I notice a French accent, which was quite a surprise, there was no mention of such in any of the reviews I read. I ordered a croissant sandwich because from a picture that I saw online, it looked to be a generous size & quite scrumptious. Much to my dismay, while tasty, it was much, much smaller than its online appearance. The food was delivered to me, which was quite pleasant & unexpected. I ordered a latte with Oat Milk as my tummy won't tolerate the cow's milk. Moooooo. Lol. I like the quaint feel indoors and to note, there's an outdoor patio to offset the intimate interior. On this morning, it was a bit too cold to sit outside and I'd like to say I'll return, but that's a lie. The reason you ask, well I didn't feel welcomed upon my entrance. When ordering my sandwich, the red haired cashier got snippy with me after I asked a question by saying "if you don't see it on the menu, we don't have it"... I was like hmmmmmm ok. It was my bday, so I was in the BEST of spirits & mood, maybe RED woke up on the wrong side of "le lit", which is bed in French . Definitely not something I want to be part of my BIRTHDAY EXPERIENCE, so I'm penning this review and erasing it from my mind. If you find a parking spot, grab it because as stated, it's in a neighborhood, so parking is limited. $9.30 for a small breakfast sandwich is a bit much, so bring extra coins if you come, you'll need it. And pack an extra smile, in case you don't get one from RED.

I'm slowly making my way through their coffee menu, by asking each barista what their favorite…read moredrink is and then ordering that the next time I go. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, both about books and the coffee. Every single coffee drink I've tried is absolutely outstanding. My favorite so far is If Beale Street Could Talk, a cayenne-infused mocha. It is spicy, smoky and delicious. The bookstore is lovely, too. They have plenty of events, and there are always at least a few crowds hanging around. Their selection is lovely and I always find a few new books to read. Beautiful outdoor patio, plus they have a small recording studio for podcasts (I think) and a bunch of tables, games, puzzles, etc. I love this spot! I think about their drinks all the time

James Baldwin was known as "God's Black revolutionary mouth" and is also the forever #1 guest on my…read moredead or alive party list. This bookstore is a true community spot. When we visited, it was crowded, but there was an event going on outside. Additionally, groups were there to meet and have coffee and chat. They have a coffee bar that appears to be well appointed. The book selection is wonderful. So many James Baldwin titles, including some you don't see regularly. They do online orders, so if you are looking for Baldwin books or books on Black history/social justice, consider buying from this Black owned business instead of Amazon. They also have a beautiful air bnb for rent. As mentioned in other reviews, this is in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhood and can be made part of a full day of activities, including JamNola and Allways Lounge and great restaurants.

What I got: Kaya bun (10/5) -- no sweetness whatsoever, just pure coconut pandan flavor coming through. Custard had the perfect consistency--thick, creamy, and has a slight egginess that, if you are familiar with dan taat, will appreciate--and did not leech any moisture into the pastry. Also love the choice of coating in dessicated coconut since it again did not add any sweetness and the fineness melted in your mouth with each bite. Pastry itself was buttery and tender with a slight chew crawssant (5/5) -- a seasonal item of twice baked croissant filled with crawfish and mozzarella. Buttery, flaky, gooey with a kiss of heat...it was fun and satisfying to eat not to mention filling. Surely, I will return to pick up some pastries for my loved ones back home.
