Teddy’s Café and Sweet Shop

Casual coffee shop inside the Roosevelt Hotel.
The pastries and coffee were very good but the plastic silverware was not adequate. It looked cheap

I was really looking forward to this one bc it was filled with nutella. But I was sadly dissapointed. I didn’t even taste the raspberry and I guess they were fresh either since they were in the glass case. Beautiful display just very dried out. Shucks.

I had the coffee and it was great. It was smooth and perfect. Better than some of the coffee spots back home. The price is reasonable for a large coffee. The muffins look good but none of them made me want to have one. Keep the muffins simple. I didn’t sit down but it looks like all those sitting were having a good time. There is no table service. Just order a coffee a d sit down. Haha

Sweet shop and gathering spot for lunch. Teddy’s has a beautiful selection of desserts and truffles. Amazing, really! The mousse trio is dreamy. Ice cream and coffee selections. There is a nice selection of café style sandwiches made to order. Stop into this little hideaway off the main lobby in the Roosevelt for a quiet morning coffee, a comfy lunch or mid afternoon treat. Teddy’s is a hit with adults and kids alike. Yum!

This is a very regal space (see pic). Yet Teddy’s isn’t pretentious. It’s a handsome spot for morning net surfers, small meetings and sightseeing planning.
AWARD WINNING PASTRY CHEF
Under the leadership of Deborah Heyd, the Roosevelt just won Gambit’s top spot in their best sweet confections challenge. Her muffins, tarts and ice creams can be found at Teddy’s counter service café. Surprisingly the prices aren’t jacked-​up like at many hotels. Both coffee and pastries average between $ 4-​$ 6. Beware though, lunch items appear to be about 20% higher than local restaurants.
I CAN GET SWEATIER THAN 3 PIGS AT A TROUGH
C’mon by August we all do! So I’m constantly on the look out for an ideal refuge to change clothes and have a leisurely breakfast before work. And to me, the best men’s changing lavatory is at the Roosevelt Hotel conveniently located next to Teddy’s (they have those sumptuously thick disposable hand towels too!)
CAVEAT: it’s rumored that Teddy’s is in for an updated menu. But as long as they maintain their current pricing structure this will continue to be my favorite cooling off spot.

Through all my romantic relationships and friendships, one might learn that I am easy. Easy to get along with, easy when it comes to food options, and easy when it comes to making the best out of most situations. But the caveat is spending too much for little return. I feel like Teddy’s stands right on that limit. Their sweets and drinks are delicious, this place is easily accessible if you are in the CBD and being located in the Roosevelt makes for a nice environment. But when your delicious sweets have a sticker price of a luxury item and they taste like that affordable dessert at the mall kiosk, there is a slight problem. Teddy’s needs to up their taste to match the price and we have a deal that I will reach for my «Andrew Jacksons» all day long.
My suggestion, NOLA has great and better options when it comes to Cafes, Bakeries, and Sweet Shops, so don’t go out of your way to visit Teddy’s unless you are stumbling out of The Sazerac Bar.

Great little coffee and snack joint inside the Roosevelt Hotel. It’s where the gingerbread houses are displayed in December.
It has a pretty dessert selection and PJs coffees & teas. Since I’m a fan of PJs teas, this is good for me They can also make a yummy hot chocolate.
It’s convenient and affordable (especially considering the surroundings). The staff has always been pleasant and patient and the place is clean and beautiful.

This is a PJ’s coffee and although I like PJ’s this isn’t their best. I enjoy the coffee, usually, but this place issues. Today although 3 staff working and only about 6 customers they don’t serve coffee in China but «paper cup» although when I ordered coffee and pastry were to stay. Cappuccino in a large «to go» cup doesn’t come out the same as in a large coffee cup. This is done most of the time and they have many China cups that they don’t have to wash because it’s in a hotel and they go back to dish room. It is almost impossible to get WiFi service too although in hotel. It’s a beautiful place just off the elegant lobby but just don’t expect to much in way of service.

This is a cute café located in the Roosevelt hotel and is a pretty perfect spot for lunch
This was a tough call, as far as a rating goes. On one hand, the Cuban sandwich I had wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but I was starving when I ate it and it really hit the spot. The truffle fries were amazing. They came with aioli for dipping and I couldn’t get enough. I could have had an entire meal of fries. They have a really cute case that is full of little chocolates to choose from and they also have coffee drinks.
They have a few sandwich and salad options here and while it isn’t the cheapest lunch in the city, you get a good amount for what you pay for.
I’m marking the place three stars, but would probably lean more towards 3.5 stars, if this were Star Search.

Who knew that nestled in The Roosevelt was a fairly affordable spot for sandwiches and salads? I can’t count how many times I’ve stayed at this hotel and not realize this café serves more than sweets. I had the grown up grilled cheese, which has a mixture of cheeses with tomato and honey. It came with fries or a salad. Of course I chose the salad, because I live on the edge, and it was surprisingly high quality for a simple side salad.

It took me 3 days to finally try dessert from this place. They don’t seem to have a phone number (none that I could find). The number I tried led me straight to the Roosevelt desk. The first time I called, the man who answered told me Teddy’s closed at 10pm. It was perfect, because I could only go past 9 anyway. We get there and it’s closed. We walked all the way to the Roosevelt for a closed bakery. Thanks a lot, front desk. The next day, I called around 7pm and asked what time Teddy’s hours were for the day. The lady said they’ve been closing early so get there asap. She didn’t give me an exact time so I didnt’ wanna risk the walk. On the third day, we decided to go around noon, because that seemed like an appropriate hour to be open.
We walk in and stand around for quite some time before being helped. What attracted me to this place was the picture of chocolates. I was shocked at the relatively low prices of the chocolates, because I’m used to going to expensive chocolatiers. The chocolates were pretty looking, but they tasted decent. The cheesecake was also nothing special. I’d order other things from this place but they need to improve their service.

The dessert here easily complements the finest dining establishments in the city. Well worth it.

Open early for breakfast/​coffee. If you’re staying at the Roosevelt, it’s a convenient option for early risers who don’t want to wake up their traveling companions. Free Wi-​Fi and newspaper. Good assortment of breakfast pastries and desserts with the usual hotel mark-​up.
For lunch, there are pre-​made sandwiches and salads in the cold case. I ordered takeout from the menu for more interesting options. The online menu doesn’t show all of the sandwich and other entrée options, so ask to see the menu at the counter. Service for the takeout order was slow so factor that in if you have limited time.

Cute coffee /​café /​sweet shop in the Roosevelt. My mom and I ate here for lunch. She had a salad and I had an «adult grilled cheese», which was very good. Not the best food you can ever get in NoLa, but it was convenient for us because we were staying at the Roosevelt and had to head to the airport soon.
Also, the guy at the sweets counter gave us free samples after lunch.

Nice little café with an upscale but intimate environment. Food is decent, cappuccinos are good, service is okay. Nice morning spot for a quick bite to eat, or an afternoon area for a brief r&r with a pick me up.

Fast. And friendly

Coffee and service both good. Inside the Roosevelt Hotel, never tried the pastries etc. Disappointed that they did not have biscotti :(

Cute little coffee and sandwich spot in the Roosevelt hotel. I honestly didn’t know it existed until one of my local friends suggested it when we had a lunch break earlier this week. It is a nice change of pace from the usual hospital fare (ya know — «healthy stuff» like fried catfish, burgers, and a scant salad bar).
It’s a little pricey for what we had — but it was a great space, amazing looking desserts (and I had a bite of the choc chip cookie — so good!)
I had the adult grilled cheese — 3 dif kinds of cheese (not sure the specifics — gouda, fontina. and maybe swiss? it was good!) + honey + tomato and a side salad. pretty darn good. My friends had some of the entrée salads and they raved about it.
It’s really quiet too, and they have fresh coffee! So I think I found a backup study spot.

Great cappuccinos and ice cream (pistachio), but the croissants are only mediocre (would be better if the were toasted a bit).
