They were so fresh and delicious. Hubs and I both had the Filet Portabello, and it was YUM. My favorite was their bread and homemade butter. Our server was Deana, and she was extremely helpful with the menu, and our choices. Our glasses were never empty. Best choice we've made since visiting Nola!

This just is definitively the best Greek salad in the city.

I add the grilled chicken for protein, doesn't even need dressing! And the mixed greens are always crisp and never limp or starting to turn. I'm not a huge salad girlie (see my other reviews) but when I'm trying to eat lighter I still want lots of flavor and to feel full and this salad always does the job! I've been ordering it delivery, so can't comment on the ambiance but it's prepared quickly and with a good mix of all the goodies. Great for swimsuit season!

Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!

The menu has many choices. I ordered the firecracker shrimp with side arugula salad. The shrimp was yummy the salad too but expected more on the salad maybe cucumber or tomatoes over all for just having cheese on Arugula with dressing was ok. I paired it with the shrimp and it was tasty! According to the hop on/off bus the beignets & champagne are the hit at this cafe. The bartender made a wonderful cocktail with champagne & it was delicious! The spot is dog friendly & in a cute little restaurant/bar row & shops area.

I would like to commend the Elmwood location of La Madeleine for its exceptional customer service…read more Victoria, who is most often the cashier during my early morning visits, consistently delivers a warm, courteous, and professional experience. Her friendliness and efficiency greatly enhance each visit and reflect very positively on the restaurant. I would also like to recognize Ms. Keisha, the manager, for her outstanding professionalism. She recently addressed a concern of mine with courtesy and efficiency, resolving the matter promptly and thoroughly. Her attentive, respectful approach demonstrated strong leadership and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. The level of service provided by both Victoria and Ms. Keisha exemplifies the high standards upheld by La Madeleine and is sincerely appreciated. I highly recommend this location.

I thought this coffee shop was quaint and in the heart of Jefferson. It was pretty packed for 10am…read more The place is decently sized, quite few tables inside and about 3 or 4 outside to dine at. There is a jug of water in the back next to the very clean bathrooms. The menus are on the wall and they have a good number of options for food, including bagels and lox, which I will get next time. Not many places offer that in Metry. I ended up ordering the special latte which was a chocolate and vanilla blend. It was tasty, rich, I like when placed offer chocolate and not mocha. There is a different between those flavors and chocolate always wins, yet not many places offer so again, glad they have this too. I also ordered the scrambled egg croissant with cheddar and ham. I did enjoy the croissant, it was flaky and butter, delicious. I also enjoyed the ham, had a sweetness to it. I did not love the cheddar or lack there was. It was very little cheese and honestly, with that delicate ham, it needed a better cheese like brie maybe or gruyere? Something to match that perfect buttery croissant. I did notice the menu online is not exactly the same as the one on the wall. I was interested in an Italian Bagel, but maybe that is offered other times of the year or maybe it was just not popular, but it sounded interesting. I should have asked if they had the ingredients to make it and probably will next time if I don't get my lox bagel. The lady that took my order was professional and personable with the regulars. I did like that the worker space is open to the dinners and you can see everything coming in and going out - it was a well designed space. The decor was quaint. Only thing I didn't like was there was not as much cleaning of the tables as I would like in between customers. Overall, very good experience and very tasy coffee.

Was not impressed whatsoever…read more Service was slow and unfriendly. New person at the register got upset with me after she placed my order. Asked me if I had exited out of the screen. I said I paid in cash and didn't even touch the register. This was immediately after I had told her to put the change in the tip jar. Can't believe her memory was that bad- or if she was that frazzled by the line that has accumulated from her struggling with said register. Whichever the case, it left a bad taste in my mouth. There was no apology or even acknowledgement of her error besides an "Oh yeah!" Coffee was fresh but not strong. Was surprised by the lack of milk and sugar options available for patrons available on the counter. Totally expected some syrups and various types of milk available. Sandwich, as you can see in the picture, was barely filled. 1 layer of the toppings and I had multiple bites of just bread. Nothing about the sandwich was special nor unique. Bacon tasted like regular bacon and the bread was store-bought, not fresh bakery variety as others have mentioned in their reviews. Will not be back despite wanting to check out this place for years due to its high reviews and central location. Huge fail Yelp

And Cafe Du Monde is a quintessential must go place in the Crescent City! Even for locals, nothing beats a plate of fresh beignets covered in powdered sugar ashes down by a nice cup of cafe au lait made with strong chickpea laced coffee. Go for the beignets and stay for the people watching. Like the food court at the Mall of America's, you'll see every walk of life come to Cafe Du Monde. You might even see a local musician or politician here. The vibe and the beignets keep people coming back. Laissez les beignets rouller!

We had the White Chocolate Hot Chocolate, the Carmella which is a Cafe Mocha with chocolate, caramel and whipped cream. Both were delicious! We tried a blueberry scone and a blueberry muffin.

Ode to the Loaf and the Golden Fields On golden paths, where…read moreyellow beams ignite A tapestry of sun, I walk alone, Each footstep scented faintly with delight, For nearby, on Oak Street, warmth is sown: At Breads on Oak, a miracle is grown. Here wheat fields bow, their gilded spines resigned, Transformed by hands into a living dough, Wild yeast and patience, earth and sky combined, A tang of hope, an oven's gentle glow; Each loaf a testament to all we sow. This bread, crackling crust and airy, sour-sweet, Is more than sustenance; it is a prayer For all who gather, breaking bread to greet The morning light, and taste the love baked there; A grace that rises softly through the air. Yet one delight eludes my hungry heart: The one for whom my eager soul is yearning. I call to the Creator, source of every part, Their absence stains the loaf, the fields, the burning Of longing that the rising sun keeps turning. Grant me solace, Creator, as seasons spin. Above, within the ancient oaks outside, Two yellow birds in sunlit rapture sing, Echoing the baker's joy, the pride Of daily blessings, simple, sanctified. While I, earthbound, savor crust and spring, Trusting the Creator will one day lift my wing. Why do they sing so bright, so unafraid? Perhaps their hope is kneaded by the Creator's hand, While I, with all this gold and bread, remain unswayed. Hillel Yisroel (Albert) Canalizo

Has WiFi and about 3-4 tables. Pretty small place inside. Has some outdoor seating. Overall, I'd come back for a quick bite or catch up with a friend. Parking: free limited on street
