Breakfast sandwich with ham
Robert D.

Nice little breakfast hole. Lawn and garden furniture not too crowded. Great views of the street. The almond croissant was delicious. They warmed it up for me. The breakfast sandwich was stuffed full of protein - eggs and ham. Nothing over cooked. The hash browns were ok - nothing special. The chocolate croissant was given to me, not the almond croissant I ordered again. When I pointed it out, the waitress stated they were out and had substituted it for me. The service is the problem. The first day was great. I got what I ordered. It's the second day and the attitude of the waitress that annoyed me. She was more interested in talking to the two guys sitting there than waiting on me. And you don't substitute one item for another without asking. Good reasonably priced breakfast items but watch the waitress. One was sweet and kind. The other was not helpful and made inappropriate decisions for me.

Blackened redfish and chicken andouille gumbo.

WAIT! Before you go here on your NOLA vacation, let me be clear: if you are looking for cheap, filling food, this ain't your place. The way I vacation in NOLA is I need maximum drinks, so I am careful with food intake. I like to drink my calories! Having said that, Vacherie knows how to cook and knows the NOLA flavors I love: blackened seasoning, Cajun cooking, and seafood. Our portions were light, and exactly what I was looking for. The service was some of the best I've had. The bartender was the server and engaged in conversation and told us about fishing while also sharing some hot spots of NOLA. The vibe is coffee shop chic: we were in the evening dining room and it was quiet (hard to find in NOLA), but not too quiet. This was the perfect place to grab a bite before hitting up the jazz clubs!

Amazing Bloody Mary here!!! We had time to kill as we were wondering around and stopped in here for a drink. They do have bathrooms customers can use unlike other places. They seemed to stay pretty busy.

I'm a bit confused about the reviews. I think there is a restaurant and a cafe portion as the place I grabbed dinner does not look anything like the bakery pictures I see here. I can't seem to find a difference from the naming of Vacherie day and night places though and I've confirmed on the hotel website as well as other web sites. We came by Vacherie to get some dinner before heading out to Bourbon St for the night. When we walked in it had this interesting old vibe to it. Cool spot. The bartender came over to check on us, brought us a menu and asked if we wanted any drinks. He recommended some beers and we placed our order. I couldn't tell if this was a locals spot or not as a few people felt like locals. I ended up getting the mac and cheese to start as well as the andouille with cheddar sandwich. I wasn't sure if NOLA had their own style of mac and cheese before this trip and I can say for certain I had mac and cheese at 4 restaurants and none of them came out the same. I enjoyed them all including this one. The sandwich was something I wanted as I don't get to eat a lot of andouille and I have to say for the price and portion size, this sandwich is awesome. Would get it again in a heartbeat if I were here. The portions are really large and we were definitely full before heading out to Bourbon St.

I'm visiting New Orleans and googled "salad". This was the first place that popped up. I'm SO GLAD I went here because the food was so delicious. The bar/restaurant looked so cute on the inside and was cozy. Also, the staff was SUPER NICE and gave me recommendations on what to order. He suggested the gumbo. It was my first time eating gumbo and I was so pleased with how good it was!! Great experience and would recommend. P.s. I came here for the salad and ended up falling in love with the gumbo.

B.L.T PC (Pimento Cheese)

Cozy little breakfast corner, you order at the counter when you walk in, menu is strewn by the door or available on the podium order counter or outside on the wall. We placed our order and seated ourselves in the back where the seatings are (limited seating possibly about 20 seats available) When the food is ready they will call your name by counter, come pick up your food and enjoy. I had the BLT P.C. (Pimento Cheese) on sourdough (There's a variety of bread options) and it came with a side of potato chips. Tap cold water is available by the side counter along with napkins and plastic utensils. The sandwich was delicious and fresh, everyone else got the breakfast sandwich. Once you're done eating take your plastic baskets and empty it into the trash and place the baskets on the side, it seems like they also serve lunch and dinner as well. Wonderful experience Thank you so much!

Breakfast burrito with fruit
Luke M.

Food was soo scrumptious, the coffee is amazing. And it's affordable. Dinning there was great too. Jesse will remember you order and especially your coffee order, she works great with the cook, you just can't ask for a better team.

Where to order

This review is for the daytime cafe; I haven't been to the main restaurant. I love this place! As others have said, the cafe is indeed casual & quite small, but they serve up some impressive salads & lunch fare. I had the ham & brie salad & it was HUGE & the toppings were plentiful! This salad was overflowing with lot's of thinly chopped ham, thick slices of brie, green apple, fresh veggies, & walnut halves. A friend ordered the tuna salad with crackers & it also was a generous portion. It was easily a half pound of tuna salad for 8 bucks. Everything is made to order & the man behind the counter is very pleasant. I am a sucker for a great salad & this place 100% delivers just that. Now I can't wait to try the dinner venue on the other side!

Sidecar cocktail...amazing!

In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand. This is the kind of business we should be proud to support as a community. Keep it up.

I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus. Just keep in mind that most of the menu is fried, so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for a particularly healthy meal.

We arrived sans reservation, but were whisked straight into the courtyard -- arguably the best seat in the house on a pleasant Louisiana evening. Between the soft night air and the glow of the courtyard, the atmosphere alone deserved applause. The cocktails arrived first and immediately set a dangerously high standard: beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and the kind of drinks that make you consider canceling your plans afterward. Fortunately, the food rose to the occasion. The edamame and roasted Brussels sprouts disappeared with alarming speed, and the Amelie Salad was a standout -- generously portioned, fresh, vibrant, and substantial enough to be an entrée or ideal for sharing if you're pretending to be civilized. A special nod to Liz, who elevated the entire experience with spot-on recommendations, warm hospitality, and the rare ability to be both attentive and effortlessly relaxed. In a city famous for memorable dining, this meal still managed to feel special -- equal parts elegant, welcoming, and unmistakably New Orleans.

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.

The restaurant was packed, and the staff was moving nonstop--but what really stood out was how smoothly everything was handled despite how busy it was. The food? Easily a 10/10. The chicken had that perfect balance--crispy and slightly spicy on the outside, yet unbelievably juicy and tender on the inside. You can tell real care goes into it. The greens were cooked just right with a subtle hint of spice that gave them great flavor, and the slaw had a light sweetness that complemented everything perfectly. Service was just as impressive. My server, Tashena, was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing without missing a beat, even in the rush. You could tell she genuinely cared about the experience. I also have to shout out the manager, Whitney. She was incredibly uplifting, constantly cheering on her team and keeping the energy positive and motivated. That kind of leadership really shows in the overall experience. Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, I can confidently say this is a 1000/10 recommend. I'll definitely be back
