Cafe Nola

Stopped by for the first time in 6 years. Prior to today, I had enjoyed the live music and crafty drinks in the nighttime hours.

Today I realized that they were one of very few places open for breakfast/brunch during the week. I stopped in, ran into some old acquaintances, was seated immediately, and waited on promptly. I ordered eggs Benedict and a coffee. I was great. Exactly what I needed to get the day going. I'm really happy with the way things went today.

I've heard tons of great things about this place and I thought I'd try it out. But to be honest, I wasn't very impressed. I guess I had higher expectations since I've heard so many good things but it really wasn't that amazing. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad at all! Just not anything to be wowed about. My boyfriend and I got brunch. We got a crab dip to start which I do have to say was seriously really really good crab dip, best thing we got. He got the breakfast Burrito which he thought was pretty good. And I got the hash which it was OK but again it didn't impress me. Our waitress was nice but she would disappear for long periods of time and when we saw her she never bothered to look our way. I had to ask other staff members to get us things. Cute spot and they have a nice selection of lattes but other then that just alright.

My Review is based on a short visit. I came in to pick up a friend and we sat around chatting for about 15 mins before we had to leave. I plan on going back for one of their fun nights and experience all this place had to offer. For the short time I was there, I was impressed by the different activities they have going on through out the week. Trivia nights, Karaoke and a load of other activities. The vibe is very chill and there is seating at the bar too. The walls are covered in beautiful art and this Cafe is the perfect place to chill get some work done (if you like background noise while working). Will definitely be visiting again for a wholesome experience.

Solid five stars.

I've been here at least ten times now and they are impeccably consistent. I order a mocha and they are not to heavy on the syrup. The milk froth is so well emulsified that the foam has an almost creamy thick texture. They also have a good espresso pull and properly roasted bean that has to have been roasted each morning.

For food I have been impressed with the technique and constancy of the home fries. They are evenly cooked through and browned well.

The Italian eggs Benedict is not over powered by the pesto as I thought, avoiding that I'm the first few times visiting. It's a light and fresh addition to help cut the holidays which is not as heavy as a dinner holidays. It is very light and air filled so you know it was whipped to order. Very delicious and good portions that are edible and not overwhelming

I am correctly missing a photo of the Italian Benedict because I was not expecting to do a review of it ;)

Love going to this place. I'm trying something different each time, and still all hits no misses! Got one of (there's several) salads and added shrimp to it - delicious. The buffalo chicken sliders are also fabulous. Excellent coffee and good alcohol selection as well, plenty of local stuff to choose from.

Our server was friendly and able to easily suggest a substitution when the drink I ordered was unavailable. We shared the calamari and hot chicken sliders from the appetizer section and they were substantial portions! The biscuits were delicious, I could have just eaten those by themselves. The chicken was well cooked, the seasoning and hot honey were delicious. The calamari was tasty and well seasoned as well. We haven’t been in a while and were very pleased with this visit!!

One of the best breakfast places in town. Simple mani, delicious food, perfect coffee and great service.

Crab Benedict was top notch, black bean wrap was so fresh and juicy. Migas - must try. Can stop just for coffee too.

Interior looks like European style. Busy during morning hours. Entrance faces south and wheel chair accessibility is going to be tight.

I will return and recommend it.

This is one of the best restaurants around! I got the Portobello cheese sandwich with tomato bisque which was the perfect combination. My husband got the shrimp and grits which was fantastic! ! My only gripe is that they need a bigger place for how good they are. It was a little packed.

Absolutely an amazing meal. The place is a little warm, but the food more than made up for it. It is definitely quirky. The bloody Mary and mimosa were amazing. The food was great. The vegetarian biscuits and gravy exceeded our expectations. One of the best biscuits and gravy dishes I have had. This place is a gem.

Service is always great. I have had the shrimp and grits twice. But it's never been the same dish. I like knowing I'm getting something familiar. Not different ever time. Pics show how different
