Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

This place makes my heart happy. It’s so quaint and makes me feel like I’m having breakfast in New Orleans. I always start with a hot vanilla latte which is always delicious. They have lots of classics like Po’ boys and red beans and rice but their breakfast and Sunday brunch items are not to be missed. The French toast is amazing especially with the praline pecans and banana. So good! They definitely don’t skimp on the portion sizes either. For a more savory breakfast, try the biscuits and sausage gravy which are hearty, flavorful and delicious or the creamy grits with bacon and eggs. They also had banana crepes on their weekend menu with fresh whipped cream and lemon zest and they were amazing! I’ve been dreaming about those buttery crepes ever since. I’ll be going back to try some of their dinner items soon. They also have a lot of pastry items and the carrot cake is an absolute must!

Tried this place based on reviews. The food was just OK, nothing was impressive. The blueberry lemon cheesecake was light and fluffy, and I liked the flavor a lot, but it wasn’t the rich type as most bakeries serve. Ordered coffee and had to return it and I was surprised being the place this a bakery but we ate at end of day maybe it wasn’t fresh and had been sitting a long time.
