Excellent location and atmosphere. Food was excellent. Avocado toast was very unique and delicious and WJ breakfast was a great meal after a night on Bourbon Street! Great selection of beverages. Biscuits were top notch.

First time eating here today. Plenty of places to sit. Had a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit which I loved! My bf had avo and toast. We had a lovely waitress called Caroline looking after us who was patient but attentive when we were ordering. Would come here again and recommend!

This was recommended by a few friends and everyone had raved about it. We ordered a couple of items, but nothing blew us away. The only thing we’d order again is maybe the coconut cake, everything else was mediocre. The vibe of the restaurant was nice and the service was also good.

Service was wonderful and staff was soooo attentive! Very helpful when we had questions.
Food: 10/10 Everything was fabulous! Great breakfast/lunch spot! Got the grilled cheese and creole soup, and it was amazing! Full of flavor! Salads were big and plentiful!!
Many coffee, tea, matcha options! I got the hibiscus iced tea, lemonade which was tart and yummy! Coffee is a must! And their chai lattes are to die for, sooo good!!! Got one to go!

Everything is delicious here! It’s easy to stop in for a coffee and baked good, or have a seat and really get into the menu.
I’ve come here several times now and it never disappoints. I’m making my way down their biscuit selection and the shrimp and grits has a lot of flavor. I’d recommend making a reservation or planning to get your food to go and eating at one of the outside tables. This place can definitely get busy.

Service was professional and friendly. We arrived for brunch and started with cocktails. And purchasing pie and cookies for later.
Brunch was flavorful. The grain bowl was hearty, hot and plenty. The grits had a flavorful gravy with lots of flavor. And the short rib breakfast bowl very filling.
Absolutely get the corn bread with whipped butter.

First time visiting New Orleans and had to see what’s to it. Definitely not disappointed! The short rib with cheesy grits was phenomenal! Hands down one of my favorite places my whole trip! Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Amazing atmosphere and service.

The food is worth coming back for.
The portions were perfectly sized for a mid-afternoon lunch.
You are able to order cafe drinks from the bar.
Can't wait to go back

***NO MILITARY DISCOUNT*** We came back for a second time! Coconut cake is delicious and huge! All 4 of us had to share this delight. Moist, sweet, and light. Just Yummy all the way around. I had the shrimp and grits. The Jumbo shrimp were plump and juicy. The sauce wasn't bold but mildly delicious. GRITS were cooked to perfection!
