Wow! Maybe name may not be the best but we had a really great time at Wakin bacon for our last day! We were immediately seated in the upper area, in a nice little room. Lots of artwork adorned the walls. Our waitress was awesome and came by quickly for the drink order, delivered it quickly, too. I chose the heart healthy omelet because of the description of shrimp, spinach and avocado... and was oh-so-delicious and would get it again. The others I traveled with got the Sourdough king sandwich , the Meat monster omelet and The Usual and all were also reported to be delicious! The cold coffees may have had a bit too much ice and not enough coffee but was still yummy. It's convenient and not far from Jackson Square. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers who rated it highly so it caught my eye. A five star experience! read more

Very tasty breakfast spot! An easy walk from our Airbnb and when the hostess saw us rolling our luggage inside she immediately offered to store it behind the counter so it was out of the way. The inside is brightly colored with tons of art work on the walls and there is plenty of seating. I had the Confit'o Burrito which was flavorful and the perfect amount of food. My friends had the Sourdough King sandwich and were obsessed with the fresh sourdough toast. The lattes are delicious as well! read more

The food was amazing--full of flavor and probably the best breakfast we had while visiting. The service was excellent, and I really appreciated how our waitress catered to my kids. The dining room is nice and cozy. It is a bit tight, but manageable--we were able to fit comfortably even with my 8-month-old stroller positioned between our table and the one behind us. The only downside was the lack of a ramp for wheelchairs or strollers, which could be challenging for guests with disabilities. read more

Breakfast is served. Not into the greasy spoon thing so I was looking for something more local and relatively healthy (I'm not sure I succeeded). I had the OG Bowl one morning and the Super Bowl the next. Both were fantastic. Really cool eclectic place and nice servers. I came back for the OG bowl one last time just because it was so nourishing and delicious with its little tiny pieces of shredded bacon. Will return. read more

Sourdough King was PHENOMENAL!! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Slap some hot sauce on that bad boy and your taste buds will be dancing like it's Fat Tuesday. Complimented by the delicious Cajun breakfast potatoes and you've got yourself the perfect breakfast, possibly even a hangover cure (if applicable). Service was great and the servers were attentive. Really enjoyed the ambiance inside, they had cool decorations in there and also local artwork on display and for sale. Awesome breakfast spot that I'd highly recommend if you're in the area!! read more

Cute lil spot, serving up some classics and some non-traditional options. The food options we chose were tasty and the service was engaging and honest. The ambiance was better suited for perhaps Key West given the esthetics, music selection and menu. But it was still a welcoming and yummy spot to catch some AM energy! read more

Best breakfast!! And not just in Nola, in general!! Love coming here. The voodoo brew and the usual are my favorites!! This cozy breakfast spot is perfect. Even when it's hot outside, you can stop in here to cool down, get a strong coffee and amazing food. The biscuits are fresh, hot and fall apart while you're eating them; the bacon is crispy and flavorful; and they give you plenty of fruit with the fruit side. Highly recommend! read more

Cute corner breakfast place in the French Quarter. Exactly what we needed after our first night in Bourbon St. I had the breakfast burrito, hubs had the King sandwich. Both were fantastic! Only downside was that hubs iced tea was the lightest, most watered down tea I've ever seen. The Turtle Iced coffee was good but not a lot of actual drink with so much ice. read more

This place is so cute! Very clean, nicely decorated you can buy local art which is neat. Prices are pretty reasonable! I had "the usual" and it was really good! The homemade biscuit was great and not dry, eggs were cooked perfectly. Wasn't too fond of the chai tea latte, it tasted good but was gritty from the topping. The rest of our group had the king sourdough sandwich which they said was great and the power bowl which was also good but very heavy on the beans. Our server was nice and answered all our questions and made sure there was no cross contamination with a food allergy at our table! Fresh OJ was great! read more

I totally enjoyed my breakfast and the vibe. I had the biscuits and gravy and the flavor was excellent, the portion size was filling. The space was filled with local artwork for sale that lead to a nice casual vibe. read more

The food was all cold and over priced. I'm guessing they let the food sit there ready then decided to bring it out. DNR

Cute little place on the corner. Biscuits and gravy was the best I ever had!! Sandwich was ok but wouldn't order that again. Potato's were good. If you even have an inkling for B&G get them!!!!! Would definitely go again!! Mad I didn't before I left lol. read more

My wife and I had breakfast at this cozy restaurant in the French Quarter. We were treated to Motown music and good service. I ordered Pancakes. It really was pancakes, plus eggs and sausage ( or bacon) It was very good. I just had a comfortable feeling about this place. The ambiance was relaxed and the murmur was low. Just Motown over the speakers. I'm not sure when I'll be in New Orleans again, but I definitely will drop in again when I do. read more

My go-to breakfast in new orleans. Its popular but always able to get in in 15 minutes. Great friendly service and great food!

Cozy corner place. Strong coffee. I had the Seafood etouffee and grits. This is a tasty shrimp and crawfish stew on a generous bed of grits with eggs on top. Tasty stew and filing and interesting breakfast. Oh! The dish comes with lightly toasted sourdough bread. This dryer bread was great for dipping and balanced the spicy soup. read more

Staff were all really friendly. We got a table right away which was nice although not expected. I had the tofu hash bowl which had all my favorite ingredients but since it didn't have any sauce, I found it a bit bland. The latté was tasty. My husband had the OG which was grits with cheese and bacon confit. He enjoyed his too. We both just felt the dishes were a little small and underwhelming on flavor. I feel with an extra ingredient or two both dishes could go from good to great! read more

The walls have beautiful and fun art all over the place! We were set immediately. Our server was over very quickly and was knowledgeable. Our food came out really fast. I have the usual I asked for my eggs over medium and they were perfect. This grilled biscuit you see on my plate is as good as it sounds! The gravy has so much flavor! Nice and thick. Obviously made from scratch and just amazing. The hubby has the king sourdough sandwich. Says it's really good. He is even eating the tomatoes! The sourdough with a garlic aioli on it is really good. The Cajun smash hash potatos are crispy and flavorful. The grits are good and creamy. The servings are very generous. We had to take quite a bit home. read more

Found this place by accident and chose to eat here because of the name. It was the best decision of my trip! The freshly squeezed orange juice was the best I have ever had!

When you get tired of over-priced and heavy breakfasts in the French Quarter, Wakin Bakin will fix that. They serve in-house cooked "REGULAR" breakfasts with an array of options and a quiet atmosphere. The food is all perfectly prepared and includes an array of options including waffles, bacon, pancakes, fruit and wonderful sour bread toast. Much of it is locally sourced and it is all fresh. We went two days in a row and were all pleased. Prices were excellent and the service was perfect. read more

It took over 45 minutes for just a omelette and breakfast burrito. The food was greasy and gross

Very good food, but the bathroom put me off of there forever. There is nothing to hold the toilet paper so it's just left on the floor and there was no soap. So after a nice breakfast I was really turned off. The waiter was very nice read more
