A Vegan Brunch Delight at Breads on Oak - Edit
Breads on Oak is a gem of a brunch spot, offering an array of vegan delights that will leave even the staunchest carnivore questioning their allegiance to meat. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat, although the service left a bit to be desired.
Read moreOur indecisiveness led us to order an assortment of dishes.. The Veggie Quiche stole the show with its seasonal vegetables, organic sprouted tofu, and a crust that boasted the essence of garden herbs. It was a symphony of flavors that danced on our taste buds.
Next up was the Egg O’Vegan Breakfast sandwich, a hearty creation featuring tofu scramble, vegan bacon, and melted cheese, all nestled between slices of their organic house-made buttermilk biscuit. The combination of savory and comforting elements made this sandwich a standout.
Biscuit Tower. Stacked high with layers of buttermilk biscuit, provolone-style cheese, housemade garbanzo bean sausage, and sprouted tofu scramble, this dish was a towering testament to vegan innovation.
To round off our meal, we indulged in a Strawberry Lemon Boston Cream Donut. Its sweet strawberry frosting and tart lemon cream filling were a delightful contrast, and it was hard to believe that such decadence could be achieved without the use of animal products.
While the food was undeniably outstanding, the same couldn't be said for the service. We found ourselves standing at the counter for quite some time before receiving any acknowledgment, and the condiment and utensil area left much to be desired. However, these minor hiccups were easily forgiven in light of the culinary delight that awaited us.
In conclusion, Breads on Oak is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in delectable vegan fare. While the service may leave something to be desired, the food more than makes up for it. Whether you're a committed vegan or simply curious about plant-based cuisine, this charming brunch spot is sure to leave you satisfied and eager for a return visit.
Pros: Fresh food not processed , Great Dinning Area , Amazing food you can’t go wrong
Cons: Service could have been better, Utensil area could use a little attention

Excellent, best of Nola - Edit
Do not miss out on this place. Both locations are excellent and have the breakfast menu which is great. We also enjoyed the coffee and bread. Just wish there were some of the more exciting pastries available which I got to try pre-covid - I would pay very good money for a croissant or filled pastry from them so please bring them back (sorry but a scone or cookie isn't going to whet my appetite.

I generally expect vegan biscuits to be more hard and dry, but this was the best biscuit I've ever eaten. I don't know what magic they are using, but it's worth a visit.

A gem in my US trip! - Edit
From the nutritious and tasty fresh food, the crunchy and light bread, to the sweet options and chai latte, I really felt lucky for having found this place! Such a gem in my US trip! Vegan, gluten free, socially responsabile, friendly people, warm environment - it has all the good things to share! It's really a place where to stop on your visit in N.O. or become regular if you live nearby 😉 I tried both locations, and personally preferred this one for the atmosphere and broader bread options.
Read morePros: Food, Atmosphere

A Must-Have Vegan Stop! Bakery and Eatery Done Right! - Edit
The breads here are delicious... but more importantly, there is a focus on in-house recipes and well-designed sandwiches. The Muffanada was our personal favorite and the bread it used was phenomenal!
Read moreReally wanted to try the Boston creme which is something I've been searching for some time. Might be back tomorrow for that! Love this place for vegan breads and pastries.

Trailblazer - Edit
Breads on Oak hit the scene at a time where there really were no other fully veg restaurants in the city. The heart and passion the owners pour into making quality, delicious vegan food is apparent in everything they make.

Lovely all-vegan spot - Edit
We really enjoyed our lunch at Breads on Oak. My husband ordered the Creole Toast, and I got The Melt. Both tasted amazing, but we were a little dissapointed with how little food we got for the price, hence the 4 stars (the Toast was $12, but only came with one slice of sourdough, and I noticed on the menu that a small filter coffee was $4). Apart from that, it's a great spot that has so many good breakfast, lunch, and snack options.

Great bread - Edit
We visited the Carondelet location twice and the original location once during a recent trip to New Orleans. The staff were helpful and friendly. We loved the tea biscuits, pain au chocolat and multigrain bread. I have to say the multigrain bread is the best that I've ever had.

Truly an artisan bakery - Edit
We were here every morning while visiting New Orleans from PA. Everything is vegan, smells incredible, thought we were in France for a sec. Have never had artisan breads, brioche, desserts, breakfast sandwiches as good as these - flaky, soft, buttery.
Read moreUpdate 12/31/2022 - came back on our second trip to New Orleans and it's just as delicious as we remember! New baked goods like German stollen, brioche eclairs, thumbprint cookies made with their own cultured butter. Awesome breakfast sandwiches, good coffee&tea, and plenty of seating in the back, very cozy

The flavors were very good and the friendly cat 🐈⬛ is definitely a highlight. However, the servings were miserly, the prices outrageous and the muffanada was a far imitation of the teal thing. Very disappointed after reading all these reviews.
