A nice contrast to the grittier breakfast places. Light and happy decor and 80s pop music playing softly. Fantastic service and the food was great. It's only 4 stars for food because the menu is small but anything with bacon in it lives up to the name of the place.

I had the tofu momma bowl and my wife had the biscuits and sausage gravy. My wife has high biscuit standards and said the honey biscuit was spot on. My tofu momma bowl was a perfect NOLA breakfast, a lot of flavor and enough heat to wake your taste buds up. Charmingly small, can get busy.

Absolutely loved this place! No wait when we went, friendly and quick service, and the food was fantastic. I got the tofu bowl and a biscuit and both were things I’d happily get again. OJ and coffee were super fresh too. Absolutely recommend.

My wife and I went here for breakfast and it filled me up til almost dinner time. If you go here you gotta get the Super Bowl. Bacon confit with some Cajun hash browns. Super delicious.

Got the shrimp omelette with spinach. Amazing. Only bad thing was the banging of the dishes it was very loud. Other than that great place!

That own choice bar as described was no longer there. Order from the menu.Vegetarian options: I asked to leave out the bacon with my pancakes and fried egg. That was possible. What did I want in return? Fruit? Yes please, fruit!

Anybody can make eggs. I was a bit disturbed by the hidden charge supposedly to pay the kitchen crew. Like instead of taking that $10. and just charging me $10.30 they have to be tacky and petty and slip in a little hidden charge in the fine print.I just want coffee and breakfast in the morning. I don't need their friggin headaches! If they are too cheap to outright pay their kitchen staff a decent wage for flipping overpriced eggs they are not passing their miserable excuses off on me!I would like to let them know that the couple of dollars they gouged me for at checkout they have now lost 10x or 20x in return trips from my wife and I. We can walk a couple extra blocks. They ain't the only people in town that can make eggs.

When people say fresh squeezed OJ it usually tastes processed, however, the fresh squeezed OJ here tasted like you were eating a freshly peeled orange! I had "The usual" and it did not disappoint! The bacon was plentiful, crispy on some ends, tender on the others. The eggs were large and cooked perfectly. The grilled biscuit is genius and the "Cajun smash hash" potatoes had a nice sweet flavor at the end! Wait was a little long (understandably) but the server was nice and it was overall a nice breakfast!

Bar none-the best breakfast in the French Quarter. Forget the trendy line up and wait places.Excellent food and fair pricing.The only disappointment was discovering this hidden gem on the last day of our vacation.
