From Texas looking for some local eats and OMG. Best meal I’ve had in a very long time. The biscuits are melt in your mouth fluffy goodness. The eggs must have come from chickens in heaven. Let’s talk about those amazing creamy grits…I have no words. I am struggling to find words to describe the sweet cornbread pancakes too. This meal was just really, really that darn good.
You’ll be thankful you tried the Black Velvet Coffee drink too. Service was top notch. Thank you Heather! Trying to figure out how to take one of everything togo.

We had a excellent lunch at this nice homey, welcoming place. Good food and nice people. Outside dinning is so nice. We both ordered the crawfish stuffed peppers with green beans and carrot souflet

Yvonne and I stopped at the Abita Cafe this afternoon, and it was one of those days that just begs for a table outside. Blue-sky weather, that laid-back Abita vibe, and the kind of breeze that makes you slow down and actually enjoy your afternoon instead of rushing through it.
We ate outdoors and it couldn’t have been better—great service, great atmosphere, and everything we ordered hit the spot. The food was on point, the drinks were cold and refreshing, and for a little while it felt like the rest of the world could wait.
If you’re anywhere near Abita Springs and you’ve got a nice day, Abita Cafe is the move.

Ordered the cake & eggs. You get two large pancakes. The pancakes were cooked perfect, a little crispy on the edges, soft in the center and just the right sweetness! I’ll be going back to this place REAL SOOOON! a few locals hanging out, a perfect little breakfast place!

Wait staff was nice. We ordered the eggs combo and the abita star. My ham steak was huge. I had to get a to go box. Food was delicious. They dont have fancy coffee selection like cappuccino or flat white. We sat outside which was very nice. It wasn’t so hot that morning. They have the mist to help with the hot weather I supposed

Small café located in small town USA. Abita Springs is a historical city and this café celebrates its humble surroundings. Although woefully under staffed for a Saturday morning, the young lady did an exemplary job balancing a 8 top, a 4 top and my humble 2 top. The food was hot and plentiful, coffee was of good quality.
Overall a pleasent place for a post run rest, a break from the trace or just a gathering place for friends and family.

I had the cheeseburger
Which was tasty, I brought half of my order home. My friend ate the big breakfast which was too much to finish. A very nice restaurant for you to have a great meal.

17AUG24 ~ A quaint little hidden gem in Historic Downtown Abita Springs that I highly recommend. It is laidback & unpretentious so go there ready for good food, friendly staff, and customers. My son, grandson, and I went there. I had the Southern Fried Catfish with seasoned fries, and I highly recommend both as outstanding. My grandson had and loves his ‘regular’, pancakes with a side of bacon (He has had this at least a dozen times, and only wants, so I guess that this is a good recommendation). My son had the buffalo chicken sandwich. Our waitress, Alise, (The young woman on the left.) was outstanding, everything you would like in your waitress, genuinely pleasant/nice, well-spoken/articulate, helpful & knowledgeable, and always came by at the right time, not too little & not too much. The prices were acceptable and worth it. They have nice outside table service, weather accommodating. My son and his family go there every time they are on the North Shore. I hope that you enjoy this place as much as we did.

8-22-2025 Came in tonight for their Rotal Reds shrimp special… almost got those tacos again… but trusted my first choice. Concerned the portion (I can eat some boiled shrimp!) might not fill me up… man I was wrong. Nice loaded potato, salad with bacon and cheese… and soooo many shrimp! I almost had to leave some behind. Fantastic experience with great service!
7-11-2025 So I saw a FB post about a brisket taceaux and had to see for myself. Oh boy… it did not disappoint. Loaded with brisket and a tangy street corn mix made for a very satisfying lunch! Service was an improvement over last time so added a star. Check out the picture of the tacos… but sadly… this is not a regular menu item, still we can always hope.
Previously…. Feel like I eat burgers everywhere I go… but a Philly Dream? You know I had to try it. Yes… I passed on the all you can eat catfish night, which is obviously a hit here. The burger was a delight, cooked perfectly, and I even took half home. Oh… and I noticed on the way out that people were eating breakfast! An all-day breakfast menu… what a place.
