Hi hi back for more adventures from my trip to New Orleans ✨️ ☺️
Thank you all for helping me reach 13 million views. Please remind to like if you wanna see more reviews like this.
Here’s your review:
Miss Eunice Hunt from Jazzy Hats shop in the French Quarter told me to go here when I said I needed some real shrimp and grits. And let me tell you!!!!!!
They are celebrating 10 years of service as of 2025. The smells were great, they are health conscious, have milk alternatives for the café drinks, have REAL King cake served by the slice and you can pre order a whole one for $40.
They make their biscuits from scratch, they has croissants, cookies, cakes, muffins, corn bread, pecan pie with a unique twist, and of course the shrimp and grits were soooooo flavorful.
The staff were extremely friendly and diverse! 10/10 I will be back here as part of my New Orleans tradition from now on. Please take a look and all of the photos I’ve shared from my experience to give you a glimps from my point of view. I ordered to go and had my brunch poolside at my hotel and yes it was worth the wait!
Enjoy!

Cute brunch restaurant! It’s was really busy on a Saturday morning but the 30 minute wait went pretty quickly while walking around the area. I got the fried chicken biscuit and it was so good! The fried chicken was amazing but wish it was a bit spicier and had less honey and the biscuit was good but not the best I’ve had in New Orleans.

YEE DOGGIES this is amazingly good! The wait is ridiculous so join the wait-list early online. The chicken and waffles (5/5) were amazing – perfectly seasoned crispy chicken with a lovely sweet and unique kick from the pecans and the marshmallow and earthiness from the potato waffle. Like wow.
The biscuit and gravy (5/5) also fire. Thick sausage chunks with a savory, creamy gravy and a very well done, flaky, buttery biscuit. This and bear cat were my favorite biscuits in NOLA. The short rib bowl (4/5) was very good but not as good as the other stuff. Shrimp and grits (3.5/5) were okay. Service is also super nice.

Willa Jean in New Orleans is a very nice breakfast spot with a spacious, clean, and inviting atmosphere. I loved the bakery section and the overall vibes of the restaurant.
The food was good — I tried the avocado toast and the crab omelet, both of which were enjoyable. The standout for me was the biscuit: perfectly flaky, buttery, and delicious, easily a 10/10.
That said, while everything was solid, it wasn’t quite as mind-blowing as I expected based on all the hype. The avocado toast and omelet were tasty but didn’t leave a lasting impression. Overall, it’s a great spot for breakfast with quality food and a lovely atmosphere, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a must-visit on a New Orleans trip.

Just landed, came from Colorado. This place was saved as one of my “wanna go” restaurants. Everything want delicious. The stand out was the biscuit. Yum! There was also a crazy looking ten inch high coconut cake that I’m going to have to go back and try

Impressed with this breakfast spot! Biscuit was yummy and the avocado toast was out of this world! They do not skip on the avocado. Coffee was delicious and all the syrups are made in house. Service was fine, but nothing special. Overall, would return.

This place came recommended and it didn’t disappoint! It’s a bit pricey but worth it. The Hangover Bowl was specifically recommended, and I definitely enjoyed it! I’d also say the chicken and waffles were fantastic — a unique take on the dish! The vibes inside were super cute. Probably the biggest downside was how loud it was inside, but we definitely enjoyed our visit here!

Went for breakfast Saturday morning when they first opened so there wasn’t a wait. Cute & clean atmosphere with a delicious assortment of baked goods on display.
Our waitress Ranisha recommended her favorite the Crab Omelet, Hangover Bowl or Chicken & Waffles.
I came for the Chicken & Waffles which were very good. The chicken was crispy and juicy. The sweet potato waffle was soft and had just enough sweetness. Loved the dollops of marshmallow cream, pecans and sauce on top. Probably the best Chicken & Waffles I’ve had in a long time.
My husband ordered the Crab Omelet. It came with crispy potatoes and was full of lump crab! He enjoyed it as well.
Forgot to grab a biscuit so we had to go back the next day. The plain biscuit is a MUST! It was flakey and buttery. Best biscuit I’ve had. The Cherry Pistachio Scone is a seasonal item but I’m sure any scone they have will be buttery and flakey.
Overall, I highly recommend eating here. GET A BISCUIT! The staff and service is great. Ranisha is a wonderful waitress and made our NOLA trip memorable.

Might be the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had! The food was so rich and flavorful! It wasn’t too sweet and the taste was so unique. Friendly service, clean and open and bright spot! I highly recommend and would come back!
