Shrimp and grits and the French toast plates were amazing, the space is super cute and the owner was very attentive and nice. Definitely a new favorite brunch spot! Thank you guys!
We showed up when only the snowball stand was open, but when the owner saw we were hungry, she opened the kitchen just for us and immediately made us feel like family. The red beans and friend catfish are the serious real deal, and priced below what other places charge for something not nearly as good. We'll be back!
Visited Cafe Porche on a Saturday morning. There is plenty of free street parking and it is close to the Muses apartments. One enters through a gate and the snowball stand is in the front of the property and the entry to the cafe is in the back. There was not a lot of seating but it was just the two of us. We ordered the Lakeview morning and the Carol B fried grits with shrimp. It was rollin'! The cream sauce was so good. Our server was not so attentive but I think that she was just a substitute for the actual server that was helping out in the snowball area. The new server was more of a people person. An older lady came to our table and thanked us for our patience even though the wait was not that long. If you know me, you know I had to order a wedding cake snowball to-go! They put condensed milk on top. The ice was crunchy but the juice was good. Overall, I would return.
THE FOOD IS AMAZING! GREAT SERVICE! The people are so warm and kind. We had a great breakfast. The portions are wonderful and not over priced. The mimosas are tasty. Highly recommend.

Coronella opened this restaurant six years ago. We had the pleasure of meeting her, she is such a kind and generous soul. She looked after our every need, including insisting on giving me a plastic bag to keep my bag dry in the rain. I mentioned I was walking to the street car and she wouldn’t let me! She insisted on driving me to the stop so I wouldn’t have to walk in the rain. Truly incredible kindness that should never be expected of anyone, but was so appreciated!
Our food was of course incredible! I got the fried grits with shrimp. Flavorful shrimp and great sauce on the grits. My coworker loved their pork chops with gravy.
Extraordinary breakfast dining experience! My best friend and I ordered, red beans & rice, the Lakeview fish and Carol fried grits & shrimp- fresh and well seasoned. The owner and staff were attentive warm & engaging. Kudos!
The food was so good, we had to hug the cook (no lie!)!! Absolutely Amazing!! Hands down! The food was very delicious!! The service was excellent & quick! The shrimp & grits,…. Perfection! The fried grits & shrimp was indescribably delicious!! It’s in a great location, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend & will definitely come back the next time we visit.
Stopped in while we were in town because of the reviews.mqn were they right. This place is amazing, it's tough to see from the street but don't give up. Best french toast I've ever had ever! We ate on the patio with our dogs. The service was some of the best I've ever had. They really get the little stuff right too, like for example the coffee was so fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.
I love to support local businesses. I came here after a Google search. I was not disappointed. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and warm. The server (Mark) was outstanding and he really takes pride in his work. Other members of the staff also inquired how my experience was.
Let's get to it...the food. The food is INCREDIBLE! I chose shrimp and grits, and it's the best I've had in New Orleans so far. The gumbo was fantastic as well. I will return to try the rest of their menu. Do not miss visiting this great place.

Went there for breakfast and had some of the best french toast I ever had in my life with perfectly cooked thick bacon. 😍 Literally melts in your mouth. I love places that have succinct menus and just know how to focus on less dishes.
Service was amazing, super fast and everyone was very friendly and attentive. Beautiful space that has a nice warm welcoming ambiance. Perfect for a nice date or to go with a group of friends.
Too bad I live in Montreal but I will definitely come back here next time I am in New Orleans. Thank you for the great food and wishing you great business.
Food and service were exceptional. They were very nice and attentive, but the food was damn good. It's definitely a hidden gem.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The food was perfect. My catfish was fried to perfection, and the grits were creamy. The service goes above and beyond to make sure you’re enjoying your experience. Whenever I think about southern hospitality, this place will be the first thing that comes to mind!
