We held a professional development at NOCHI last week. Their staff was extremely attentive, and the space was extremely conducive to our training. The training facililies that NOCHI offers are top-notch. I would highly recommend any event at NOCHI.

I've photographed dozens of events and classes at NOCHI and I couldn't recommend it more! I've learned incredible and practical things every class I've attended, and eaten some of the most delicious food of my life! While NOCHI is primarily a culinary school, they also offer classes for "civilians" like us! It's the perfect girls night, date night, or birthday gift - maybe I'll even see you there!

Had a fabulous time at the Open House. We were given a tour of the classrooms and kitchens. And then we got to make our own pizzas! I received many compliments on my dough stretching skills and then I topped my pizza like a mini mountain. It ended up baking beautifully and it was absolutely scrumptious. I thought I would just have a bite, but ended up devouring the whole pie! It was wonderful to talk to the staff members about their experiences and to get to know other prospective students. Definitely looking forward to taking more classes here!

Having attended and graduated from an accredited culinary school in Boulder, CO. I applied and was accepted into the Baking & Pastry program. To quote Robert Browning "My first thought was they lied in every word" This institute and staff has little to no respect for the students. The content of its courses is mediocre at best. I could ramble on, to prospective students please consider going somewhere else. This is not a good place.

NOCHI has been hosting the New Orleans Rotary club for about a year now and can't say enough about the place. The staff is super friendly and helpful, food is always great, I look forward to each week. My absolute favorite thing about NOCHI is their roof top deck area which is a great place to host a party.

Unbelievable experience here today. Was invited by my good friend to attend who is a member of the graduating class of March 2024. I can not say enough how gracious the staff was, and the cooks along with the dishes served were incredible. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

The first Job I had after school was building an apartment complex across the street from Nochi. My team and I would drop in for lunch multiple times a week I say multiple because it was that good. The ingredients were fresh and the menu changed regularly allowing for a great experience every time nothing was mundane. The memory of escaping to this little cafe during my short lunch hours has had a lasting memory on me. Keep doing what y’all are doing.

Our son goes to NOCHI. It is such an amazing program. Went to the pop up today and it was one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. NOCHI is so important to New Orleans.

This cafe is so cute!! I feel like it's a great addition to part of the city that it's in. I was downtown in between meetings and just needed somewhere fast to sit down and grab a bite. This was exactly it. I walked in thinking it was just coffee and pastries. To my surprise a full menu of YUMMY things. I opted for the beef Po boy that I forgot the menu name of (whoops)but it came with fries and was very delicious. God I stumbled into this spot!

The food was fantastic but do not go here unless you want to be assaulted by the building security. We were physically and verbally assaulted for walking out of the same door we came in at. We were not told by him that we needed to use the main door & there was no signage indicating that we couldn't use the door we came in from. The man proceeded to run and shove my brother into the wall and slam the door in his face. After which I tried to calm him down and he proceeded to verbally assault me for not listening to him when he said he told us to use the other door. (Again he did not walk up to me and ask me to use the other door). He did yell at one of my friends who left the breakfast place last and pointed at the main door but he did not say anything nor mentioned it to us. He made the assumption we were with him and that he would relay his half assed message to us. My friend did not as it is not his job to. The man was rude, violent, and abusing the powers of the security badge for which he holds. He needs to be fired or else risk seriously harming another one of your patrons. It ruined our entire breakfast experience and left us shaken up after being attacked for merely walking through the wrong door to leave. It is unbelievable that someone could think this is ok.

This is not actually an open cafe, it is a mistake online. It directs you to a Tulane building, but there is no cafe as listed.

Friendly staff, good food, and good coffee without the wait. And the price is right! This is a great option for a quick and easy breakfast or lunch near the office. Try the seared tuna salad - the tuna is super fresh!
