Best breakfast! - Edit
We spent a long weekend in the city and had breakfast here more than once. They serve “just eggs” with vegan cheese and a great variety of fresh veggies, as well as vegan pancakes and fritters. Portions were large and it was inexpensive.

Subpar - Edit
Reading the reviews, I had high expectations. This was not a case of not living up to high expectations, but failing to live up to standard expectations.
Read moreOn the menu it indicates not to eat here if you are in a hurry. That’s good advice, but doesn’t go far enough. When we ordered our bowl of vegan gumbo, vegan spicy sausage po’boy, and a smoothie, they estimated 25-30 minutes for it to be ready. It turned out to be a few minutes short of an hour. That was for the food, oh yeah, you ordered a smoothie too. Let us get on that. I can’t wrap my head around what could possibly take that long to prepare this food. There was a line of 3 couples when we arrived.
The food itself was unspectacular. The po’boy was good, but had a good amount of black char on the sausage that made the taste less desirable. The gumbo was okay, but not something I would recommend to a friend.
I wanted to like this place. It’s female black-owned and serves vegan options! But today the execution was lacking. I hope that this was an anomaly or if not can take this feedback and use it to improve.
Pros: Several vegan options, Friendly staff, Location
Cons: Long wait for food, Poor communication , Poorly cooked

Just ok. Expensive - Edit
Had takeaway. The crab cake was good. Accompanying potatoes just ok. Red beans and rice had little more than ⅛ cup of rice and large styrofoam container (16 oz) of mostly liquid and a quarter cup of beans at most. Not all that tasty. Grilled vegetables and brown rice were dripping with grease. Very expensive for mediocre food, all in styrofoam containers. Given two forks and knives, and ketchup without asking if needed, which was wasteful. The fellow in charge spoke down to one of his employees in front of me. Surprisingly, I was very disappointed.

Delicious vegan king cake and gumbo - Edit
I have never had gumbo or king cake before, and I'm so happy that they had vegan ones!! It was so good. The staff is very friendly and there are lots of vegan options. Once you order, you can walk around the market and they text you when your order is ready.

These crab cakes - Edit
I am obsessed with these vegan crab cakes. I’ve never had crab cakes with actual crabs so I can’t compare, but these crab cakes are the best things I’ve had! I normally don’t like seafood replacements but this is not fishy at all and very savory. Quite pricey, but such is the French market.

Great Vegan option - Edit
Finding high quality vegan food with more than one option was a task in NOLA. However- this place was fantastic! Located in the French market the vibe was really chill and the employees were wonderful. We ate three times on our trip! The blueberry pancakes, vegan gumbo, and the crab cake poboy were amazing! (I'd love to see them add some vegan shrimp to the mix!)

Omg those vegan crab cakes!! - Edit
The vegan Crab Cake Poboy was incredible!! The downsides were the price which was extreme. A poboy and a 12oz juice cost nearly $30. And the service was very slow. If u can wait, its worth it Bc it was delicious.
