The Decadence Shoppe

closed

Great espresso, grabbed an awesome and authentic Gelato. Friendly staff and not crowded, definitely going back.

I stopped by here to have a cup of coffee while I was looking for a different place. The place I was looking for was closed but the owner of the café was super friendly and although he didn’t have any gluten-​free options on his menu he wrote out a list of options! He was just so helpful and friendly!!! Highly recommended for coffee and they serve food, just not GF so I can’t comment on that!

This was a decent place. They make the desserts all on their own and they are pretty yummy. Their cookies are the best– they have different flavors.
I understand they have free wifi, but I have never stayed. I have brought desserts and pastries from here and brought them to friends for parties. Their pastries, brownies, and cookies get rave reviews.

So I went for breakfast the other day at The Decadence Shoppe, I was pleasantly surprised! I was expecting your regular olé breakfast, but they have their own delicious way of preparing the usual. I got a breakfast sandwich that was scrambled egg with cheese and I added bacon on a biscuit. The biscuit was definitely made in house, the bacon was thick and crispy, and the eggs have been seasoned with a yummy blend of herbs that made the sandwich taste so different than the normal boring breakfast sandwich. Others with me got the pecan pancakes and the french toast. The pancakes were light and fluffy and had icing like on a cinnamon roll on them, they were super tasty and they came with bacon and eggs, and the french toast was on french bread, the way it’s supposed to be, and they had a rich vanilla flavor, also came with a side. Neither the pancakes or the french toast needed syrup, they were so flavorful on their own. I also got an iced mocha, it was huge and one of the best I have ever had. They have a whole case of pastries to choose from if you don’t want a big breakfast, and they serve lunch too which I am sure is fabulous and I need to go back for. The Decadence Shoppe is a must try for breakfast lovers.

In 3 days of new orleans, this was the only place that I ate at twice. The french toast was probably… nah…WAS the best that I have ever had.
Not sure what the eggs were seasoned with but they were amazing too.
Prices were reasonable and the place was empty both times we were there.
Have to say the gentleman working the register could have been a bit more personable but the cook was very nice

Start with a good coffee and a comfortable place to sit across from Louis Armstrong park and add good food with great people, and you have a happy me. The hot ham & cheese was delicious and likely is outstanding during tomato season. Cappucino’s made with attention.

I’ve visited this place many times. The two owners are always there and are very nice people. The food is inventive and delicious. Try their grits… too many places use instant grits but Decadence Shoppe has some of the most creamy delicious grits I’ve ever had. The coffee is better than most places. I’ve has several items on their menu and have never been disappointed.

Decadence? I’m in! Who wouldn’t be?
After unloading and setting up for the Barkus parade, I found myself in desperate need of a cup of coffee and some sustenance. The Decadence Shoppe appeared, a beacon of hope in front of mine eyes promising me a piping hot Americano and perhaps a baked good… some sins I very much deserved on this frigid Sunday morn. A berry scone did the trick. Decadent, it was. The butter immediately seeped through the wrapper. There’s no dry, crumbly scones up in here!
I can’t lie. The bathroom was also a draw (impossible to see my entire wig in a small hand mirror). But I did buy stuff and so I leave the nice guys at TDS this review…

This place was located near my hotel I was staying at. I wish I had went here a few days sooner! Anyway, my husband and I wanted a nice coffee to warm us up on the way over to the cemetery to complete our visit in NOLA. We happen to be served some of the best black coffee to go in the NOLA area. My husband ordered a caramel brownie as well and it was so rich and yummy!

I was visitng NOLA and doing laundry next door and came in to grab a quick bite and a coffee. I had their mini blueberry pie and WOW! I was blown away. This mini pie must have been the size of a softball and was chocked full of real blueberries. What was particularly impressive was that the pie was not super sweety, so I could taste the blue berries. The crust was home made.
Lastly, the coffee also was superb!
This quality a block away would sell for double the price. Next time I visit New Orleans this IS my breakfast stop.

Nice, neighborhood shoppe!
I stopped here 3 different times since my Hotel was just down the street. Each time, the place was clean and the service excellent.
Small, but nice selection of munchies. My wife and I had breakfast here 2 different days. The food was good and the portions generous.
Don’t walk by this place if you’re hungry or just need a bite!

Agree with «leah b».‘s earlier post … about the staff.
Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi is alive and working at The Decadence Shoppe!
You’d have to be a masochist to accept this abusive behavior.
The fast order cook screamed at me and refused to prepare my meal
as described on the menu and as I’d already paid for.
The food was unmemorable, but will never forget their contemptuous attitude toward customers. I’ll celebrate their inevitable closure.

I have not actually been to the shoppe, but I purchased a donated apple pie at a bake sale last night.
OM good. The apples are perfectly cut and the filling is well spice without being too sweet. The crust is just perfect.
Will definitely have to hunt down the actual store after eating this pie.

Okay so i have been in new orleans for the past 2 months working on a film and we eat breakfast here at least twice a week. The food is AH-​MAZING… however the people that own it are horribly rude. I don’t know how you can be in the service industry and your customer service is so bad.
I thought it was just me, but then the director went in at a completely different time than i did, he was there with his assistant and the owner started yelling at him, like full on screaming, because he asked whats good on the menu, lmao — who does that? apparently the owners of the decadence shoppe!
When he told me about it, i just died laughing, because i know it was the short one who runs the cash register that he was talking about.
I will say this, the food is really good, but what you have to go thru to get it, #notworthit find another place to eat, there are plenty other places that have great breakfast in the French Quarter without the attitude!!!

i just moved to the neighborhood and this place and the guys are fabulous! i will be back often.

The only bummer about this place is that I found out about it the day before I went home.
This is a cute little place right by Bar Tonique on Rampart. The set up is pretty standard café kind of vibe; art work on the walls and very clean.
They bake everything fresh and the food you get is fresh and delicious, no fried badness! This is a big deal to me when I have been on a 5 day bender of tater tots and beer.
My friend took me here for some lunch before the easter parades and I ordered an iced coffee and a turkey wrap — SO GOOD. I think they make their own Mayonnaise. That or they managed to make the stuff from a jar taste fabulous. Fabulous. Yes that is my word for this place. Give it a whirl.

A… MAZ…ING place. I recently moved to NO from Boston and have been in search of a cool café. not overly touristy, great fresh coffee, great, fresh food and a cool, laidback vibe. Decadence café is IT! Great food (breakfast and lunch), great prices, great owners. Dog-​friendly. The breakfast biscuits make you wonder why you ever slummed at McDonald’s.
