NOLA Brunch & Beignets

Before walking in, visually see the beautiful architecture of Nola. I knew immediately this is going to be an amazing experience. Escorting me in was my wonderful husband. We were kindly greeted and swiftly seated. You could feel atmosphere and vibe. Visually beautiful with the sense of old and yet modern. Perfect background music paired with the appealing aroma coming from the kitchen. We couldn't get a better server. Her name is RUBY. Much MAHALO 🤙🏽 for being attentive. As for the food we ordered, the pictures speak for itself. Yes, yes, yes 👏🏽 🙌🏽 it is delicious! I did the silent clapping as I was eating. Highly recommend Nola. Sadly we reside in Seattle and need to wait to experience the deliciousness of Nola when we visit again. Much ALOHA and MAHALO to Nola. Oh......and I to buy your hat and will be wearing it in Seattle 🤙🏽

We were in the area on the 4th of July and decided to give this place a try around 11:00 am. The small parking lot was completely full, but we were able to find free street parking just around the corner. Despite the restaurant being busy, we were seated immediately which was a pleasant surprise. The front-of-house team made a great first impression. The host was welcoming, and the young lady who walked us to our table was polite and upbeat. Our server, Terrance, was attentive and kind throughout our visit. Bonus points for the clean restrooms, and I appreciated that the sinks were outside of the toilet stalls which was a thoughtful touch for flow and cleanliness. The coffee was delicious and arrived quickly. As for the food, I was really hoping for something that would take me back to my roots. Growing up on authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine, I was excited but unfortunately, the flavors just didn’t deliver. The fried green tomatoes were heavily coated in cornmeal and noticeably lacking in seasoning. The shrimp had the same batter and shared the same fate. They appeared to have seasoning but they tasted bland. The remoulade did add a bit of life to the dish, but overall, both items missed the mark. On a brighter note, the Creole crab purses were tasty. We ordered the Mixed Beignets togo, but my husband couldn’t resist when they arrived so we ended up trying two before we even made it home. It came with 4 beignets, Classic, Chocolate, Lemon Curd, and a Seasonal Fruity Pebble beignet. The beignets were hands down the highlight of the meal. I was initially skeptical of the Fruity Pebble version, but it turned out to be surprisingly good. It was nostalgic and well executed. The ambiance was pleasant and the space had a clean, modern feel. However, adding a little soft jazz or blues music would really help evoke that true New Orleans vibe. With an 18% tip we spent a little over $80 for just the two of us. Overall: This place has potential. The service and atmosphere are on point, and they clearly care about the guest experience. With just a few tweaks to the seasoning and soundtrack, they could turn a good visit into a truly great one. We’ll definitely give it another shot.

What an amazing place to eat!!! First of all, the location and area of the restaurant is nice. As soon as you walk in, ALL the staff is greeting you with a warm smile. The vibe of the restaurant is just like the "big easy"...super relaxed. Nice jazz is playing in the background, while the smell of all the foods traveling through the air. The beignets are amazing and always fresh! The food is so tasteful and a celebration for your taste buds. Our server was Ruby. She was perfect. Very attentive, but not overbearing. Fast, but super polite and friendly. Great recommendations, which had us rolling out of there. Highly recommend NOLA to everyone that appreciates good food!!!

Love the ambiance of this place! We went here for brunch on a Friday afternoon! Best time to go, not crowded at all! I had the Boudin omelet, and it was cooked perfectly. However, I did taste the Boudin part, and the cream cheese over powered the dish for me! The egg part was tasty and had flavor, just no Boudin flavor. Friends had Blue crab omelet and kids brunch plate with a pancake. I Shall Return, I want to try the shrimp and grits and gumbo. They have Mimosa kits, really savvy way to serve them! Love it!

Food was delicious. Order a bunch of stuff to taste when you have a lazy day, then go home and watch movies and take a nap. Booze would have been good with the meal, but that’s just me. Service? Stellar…our waitress was awesome. I asked about the unique hot sauce I’ve seen on cooking shows, but never tasted. Authentic New Orleans!! Manager insisted I take a bottle off the table..I should have. Hospitality alone will take me back, along with that food! Yum. I need to take pictures of the food, but it was devoured quickly…

Loved the atmosphere and the service was top notch but being I'm originally from Mississippi and frequently visit new orleans i didn't feel that soul that I ideally feel in this two places but the food was delish to this area and ill Most likely return at a later date to explore more varieties from your menu!!!

Wow! Amazing place! Was my first time here. I was invited by family to have brunch together and allow me, it was worth it. I used to hangout over at the French quarters back in the day and had beginners but these beignets were different. Different flavors mmmmmm good accompanied with some good O coffee, the coffee was good, oh yeah! Nice decorations and a beautiful and huge mural painting. The waiters were very attentive all the time and friendly. It gets a lil crowded and there's isca eating list because of the place is very well known. The brunch? Mmmmmm good! You gotta come here. I recommend it for the whole family or just yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Warning: if wearing all black, read the menu carefully before ordering. The powdered sugar amount is (wonderfully) off the charts. We had a wonderful Sunday morning breakfast of pancakes, praline bacon, and beignets and rode that satisfying flavor-high all the way through church. Delicious, contemporary take on some traditional Louisiana flavors. One last thing not to be taken for granted is that the tap water was actually good!
