Excellent breakfast/brunch place across the river from Bourbon street. It has a pleasant, charming atmosphere with excellent food. I got to try the atchafalaya and the pain perdu french toast. Everything was great, but special mention to the atchafalaya! Crawfish ettouffe on over easy eggs and grits. The ettouffe adds some acidity and brightness to the thickness and creaminess of the grits and eggs. Absolutely perfect. Definitely try this place out if you have a chance to!

I'm usually annoyed with reviews who mark down ratings based on service because I put food as my number one priority. Let me get this out of the way, the food here is legit. Fresh, simple, more-or-less-healthful. I can vouch for the blueberry pancakes and the scrambled eggs, grits, and bacon. (the biscuit was the only thing that fell flat - a bit literally) Service, however, was the worst I think I've experienced anywhere. Not only was the woman behind the counter aloof beyond words, but she also did completely away with communication. When I asked her what kind of chai she had she literally rolled her eyes, turned back to the counter, took out the carton, held it up, then put it back and slammed the 'frige door shut. I was binging off of five days of amazing warmth and Louisiana hospitality so this was a shock. I did not hear a single greeting, thank you, or even instruction from her. Just awful. I'm also not crazy about the crowd we encountered. We hit the very tail end of the Sunday brunchers and again, totally different than the NOLA vibe we've been getting everywhere else - self-entitled and clueless, if not downright rude people. Terrible vibe. Tasty food. May you roll the dice and end up with a better experience than I!

I had spied Tout de Suite before, sitting there on the caddy corner across from Holy Name of Mary Church in Algiers Point. I had never thought to stop in, thinking that it was nothing more than a local coffee shop. So, when I heard that they sold breakfast and lunch that is top-notch, I made a point to check the place out! I finally had my opportunity last week when a friend invited me out for lunch. I get an hour for my lunch break, which means I have to go someplace close by, and Tout de Suite fit that bill. The place very much reminds me of an establishment you might find somewhere in the Garden District. It has an artsy vibe to it, and it's one of those places that people in the neighborhood have known about for years. Their menu of salads, soups, and salads is not an extensive one, but it has a little bit of something for everyone. Even better, there are healthy vegetarian options, which is hard to come by in this city where everything deep fried reigns supreme. On this day, I had the Baguette du Fromage, which is Gruyere and goat's cheese sandwiched between a whole wheat baguette with sliced tomatoes and mixed greens. Sandwiches are served with your choice of a mixed salad, potato salad or soup (tomato basil, miso, and crawfish bisque were the options). I originally opted for the tomato basil soup but was told that they were out, so I ordered the mixed salad instead. If they ran out of the soup, that tells me that it's good and gives me a reason to go back already. The sandwich was creamy, gooey deliciousness! The salad was also a nice mix of spring greens, carrots, cherry tomatoes and cucumber with a vinagrette dressing served separately. For $9, it was a very generous plate of food...very, very GOOD food! My friend order the rotisserie chicken club sandwich with potato salad. The sandwich had HUGE hunks of chicken on it to the point that it was falling out of the sandwich! It's great knowing that there's a quick and good lunch spot in Algiers that is within minutes of both home and the office. If you think you have to travel to the Eastbank to find a cute, comfy cafe with great food and a cool vibe, then you need to stop by Tout de Suite!

Went for brunch with mom and hubby. Ordered the huevos rancheros and Poche (boudin). Food came quickly and was delicious! Nice little gem of a place. Nothing fancy, just comfortable and friendly. If you find yourself in Old Algiers, don't fail to check 'em out.
(5)Jeremy L.
I wish this place had existed while I still lived in the city. I moved away a few years ago and came back recently to find this place right in the heart of old Algiers Point. 2 blocks away from my old house, I'd probably be here every day for lunch. It has a quaint atmosphere inside as well as plenty of outdoor seating. I had the chicken club and will make it a point to try something new every time I am in town.
(4)Sabrina F.
This is a cute little restaurant across the Mississippi. It's quaint and the food is out of control. I had the "Katrina" for breakfast. Huevos Rancheros sour cream, avocado, salsa, you name it they had it in there. It came out very presentable and turned into one delicious mess. Definitely check this place out if your in New Orleans. A little hidden gem.
(4)Eli C.
Fantastic breakfast place, come early as it can fill up fast. Menu is fresh and meals are thoughtfully crafted, ambience is warm and welcoming. we hope ot be regulars now that we have relocated to algiers point! The avocado toast breakfast is generously portioned and a refreshing change from common breakfast options in the GNO area, and one of few savory vegetarian options around here
(5)Katherine L.
How did it take me so long to discover this little gem? I love going out for breakfast and brunch, and while I was living in Nola, the weekend mornings have always been a case of 'where are we going to eat?' I would turn on Yelp and in all previous occasions this place didn't show up. One reason why I've probably never run across Tout De Suite Cafe is because I rarely ventured to Algiers Point. Well now I have a reason to visit more often during my trips to Nola. I really enjoyed the weekend morning vibe and the live music. I also liked the outdoor seating and how dog friendly it was. I came here with my wife and we ended up sitting inside, having recently come from the north, I was feeling the heat already. I ordered a con panna and the Traditional. Both were very good, although I thought my con panna tasted very similar to a mocha. I loved my potatoes on my traditional and they had a mild but good heat to them. I can't wait to come back here and try out the sausage gravy dishes (I like to douse my hash browns in gravy), and all the other breakfast dishes that look so delicious in the yelp pictures.

I cannot believe I've never reviewed this spot. I've lived around one corner or another from this cafe for years now and absolutely adore it. It's a beautiful old building where you can find locals gossiping over coffee, grabbing breakfast and on weekends, enjoying some sound-level-appropriate live music. My favorite is the Farmer Browns- your own little skillet of hash browns topped in your choice of heaven-- fried egg, avocado, etc. From there, the menu gets heavier-- think the Atchafalaya-- crawfish étouffée over fried eggs and cheesy grit cakes (heaven) to much lighter. Having light menu items like the Bermuda Triangles (wheat toast with avocado spread) allow the regulars to stop in for breakfast several days a week without having a heart attack two years later. The prices can be a bit steep, but you are paying for good quality food. If you're looking for a cute neighborhood spot to grab a solid brunch without waiting in the long lines of some of the more well known spots across the river, this is it. Note: no alcohol, so get your bloody mary fix before you come in!
(5)Shane S.
This is a cozy counter service breakfast nook. The woman at the counter was on the ball. She took orders, made coffee, and brought out the food. A great menu and very tasty food. The biscuits and the bacon were great. The coffee was strong and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.
(4)Victoria H.
Worth the ferry ride over! Missed breakfast, but lunch was tasty. A simple yet delicious side of potato salad and a chicken/bacon panini that was large and in charge with plenty of melted cheese.
(4)Tom H.
Food and vibe were both great. Nice mellow live music ona Saturday morning. The whole area of Algiers is great for wandering top.
(4)Tina H.
A beautiful little cafe with great food! We had the pain perdu and the pumpkin tortilla for breakfast. The pain perdu was an delicious take on french toast - brioche encrusted with almonds, served with some serious mixed fruit (lots of berries!). The pumpkin tortilla had scrambled eggs on a bed of argula on a pumpkin tortilla. A very good savory breakfast choice. Love this hidden gem!
(5)Vlad G.
great friendly neighborhood cafe. live music sat & sun for breakfast.
(5)Rudi R.
Awesome neighborhood café. Baked goods are fresh and tasty (try the green tomato pie if it is available). Sandwiches are hearty and fresh, great value.
(4)Casey Ann M.
One of my favorite places in all of New Orleans. We live near the Irish Channel and have biked downtown to the ferry and crossed the river to spend the morning here. The food is wonderful, coffee excellent, and the live music on Sat and Sun morning is a real treat.

I've been to NOLA 3 times now and only discovered Toot de Suite on my last visit. This cafe is a gem in the picturesque (and much quieter) Algiers Point. While they advertise being a vegan friendly restaurant, don't let that put you off if you're a carnivore. My Southern Belle chicken salad was one of the best I've ever eaten, not least because the serving of chicken outlasted the greens. My wife's Caesar salad was equally delicious with shaved Parmesan and an excellent dressing. We were so enamored of the place we went back the next day for breakfast, only to be further impressed. My omelet was overflowing with ham and bacon while my wife's personal skillet would have satisfied any of the big eaters I know or handily sated two people. The proprietor was on hand to offer advice on replicating her excellent gluten free blueberry muffins, the coffee and espresso were all excellent, and the atmosphere is one of the most inviting and comfortable of any coffee house I've had the pleasure of visiting. I cannot recommend this enough as a much needed break from the noise and frivolity of the French quarter.
(5)AuraLee P.
I really wish that this cafe was not in Algiers, because if I didn't have to cross a river to get to it I'd be there every day. They'd have to kick me out at closing time. It's beautiful, inside and out, and the staff is always so friendly. The first time I went there I gave my order at the counter of a cup of oolong tea and one of their fresh-made candied ginger cardamom black pepper cookies (!!!) and the lady ringing me up just said to me, "oh honey, just go grab the one you want!" Dangerous words, ma'am. I love coming here for brunch on Sundays. It's quiet and laid-back, definitely off the beaten/touristy path (due to it's location). The prices are reasonable and the food is made-to-order and delicious. I like their eggs to order plate; you can customize it any number of ways but I like it with poached eggs, skillet potatoes, bacon (thick cut and so flavorful), and a moist & flaky buttermilk biscuit. I'm always hesitant to order poached eggs in restaurants because more often than not they come out over/underdone but here they do them PERFECTLY. The last time I ate here my partner got the Atchafalaya, which is a crawfish étouffée over creamy grits and eggs to your liking. By the time I got around to asking him if he was enjoying his meal he'd all but inhaled it. So I'm guessing the answer was 'yes'. They have a full complement of cafe beverages: plenty of coffee (fair trade) and tea options (loose, so, better quality than your standard bag variety) as well as a slew of juices/kombucha/soda/etc. There are also fresh baked pastries and sweets, I already mentioned the cookies but there are cakes and little tarts and quiches and whatnot. There's an entire lunch menu and plenty of vegan/vegetarian options. The quinoa patties look delicious, as does the wild mushroom mac'n'cheese. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those places where I end up trying everything on the menu. Make a nice morning of it: take the streetcar down to the ferry, take the ferry across the river, and take a nice little walk to the cafe. You won't be disappointed!

I love going out for breakfasts on Sunday morning that Tout De Suite did it right. I don't often make it over to the West Bank, and I never come out of Algiers Point, but it is an absolutely cute neighborhood. Having never been here, it was confusing that we weren't sure what to do when we first walked in. It turns out that you order at the counter and then someone will bring you food out as it is ready. When you're finished, there is a garbage can to the left of the counter where you bus your own dishes. I ordered the large con panna (espresso with whipped cream on top) and the traditional with a fried egg, potatoes, applewood bacon, and an engish muffin. My wife got the same thing (different combination and with 2 eggs instead of one). The bill came to $25 which I thought was quite good. The coffee was very strong and tasty. I liked the bacon, I had 2 slices of nice thick bacon. The potatoes are sauteed with onions and peppers which gives them a nice flavor. On Sundays they have a jazz quartet playing which was very nice. They also have outside tables where you can sit. It would be a great place to have breakfast and bring your dog along.
(4)Tessa D.
Awesome breakfast skillets and home cooking with a quaint atmosphere! A true Algiers Point treasure!
(4)Geoffrey C.
This is a great little place in a frequent often. They serve breakfast till 12 daily. Their salads and sandwiches are incredible I try to eat here twice a week. try them out you won't be disappointed.
(5)Alvin D.
3.75/5 all of the things everytime i come here i want to order all the things. just put it all on a plate and let me stuff myself silly. i wish that it were somewhere nearer to me on the eastbank, but then when i'm finally in algiers point i remember how cute it all is and that the meal here would be a little extra special. i think they are pretty friendly and have let me order breakfast past the typical end-time so i'm thankful for that. to recent memory i went the gravy route, and i felt so satisfied as i roll out. i think maybe next time i'll just go with the standard plate...plus gravy lol. or there's also the one with avocado that my friend raved about. i'll also add that their baked stuff is also yummy. the ginger cookie has some other great spice-play going on and if you can squeeze in another bite after the meal give it a try.
(4)Mako Hema O.
Little gem of a place. Makes a fantastic mocha latte with almond milk. How amazing is that to find in Louisiana. This is a small quaint place but if your vegan you can work with it. They have healthy cereal for the kids, that makes a refreshing change. Pancakes arrived. Omg. Delicious. Blueberry is sooooo good. You gotta try it. They're large too. We shared and got the strawberry to go. They're so big.
(5)Bobby B.
*sigh* You should never have to wait an hour for a cold breakfast with off bacon and rude counter help and still have to pay 30+ bucks for 2 people. The pancakes were doughy (The girls said they were so bad she could have made them herself). The pain Perdu with orange had no orange and covered with stale almonds. It was actually a chore to try to eat. Since both meals were cold (all but the microwaved, off tasting bacon) the pat of butter was useless and the tiny container of cold syrup didn't do any good either. Eggs sunny-side up was so under-cooked that only a skin-thin bit was cooked and all the rest of the white was clear through (that's not sunny side up). Just such a terrible experience topped with the girl behind the counter just being rude and short with people made this a no-go place. I'm not sure if it's been sold or a new manager is in place, but it was waaaay under-staffed (which can lead to angry, rude employees and hour long waits). Get yo shit together, people. This place was decent a few years ago. Get back to that level.
(1)Jeremy H.
very fresh and mostly organic foods. Their breakfast is delicious. Try the Bermuda triangles, the avocado spread is amazing. all of the baked goods are made in house an are all amazing. The biscuits and gravy are fresh and a large portion.
(5)Cody H.
You know we love this place because of the awesome breakfast, but their lunch is awesome also. Not until Sunday did we know that they serve breakfast till 3....WOW!!!!! We planned on going there for lunch, but hen they said breakfast was still available.....BINGO, JINGLE BELLS, YATZE!!! The atchafalaya ( crawfish, two eggs over cornbread) is my go to every time. I'll be there tomorrow.
(5)Rob H.
Coffee was great. The quiche was wonderful. Highly recommend this small little corner restaurant. Very quaint in the heart of Algiers Point.
(4)Holly B.
Came down last year and enjoyed the hearty breakfasts; came right back again for breakfast my first morning back. The owner isn't chatty but is efficient and the food is great.
(5)Cathy C.
Tout De Suite was probably the favorite "find" of our entire trip this year (other than Algiers Point itself). We found it to be a handy place to break a twenty for ferry fare, but there are many more reasons to go here. As a coffee shop, they make all the standard drinks, and they were making King Cake lattes for the season. The glass case and counter are laden with sinful-looking pastries, cakes and pies; a couple of enormous cookies were good for snacking on all day. They do soup, sandwiches and salads for lunch, but what you really want to pay attention to is that chalkboard breakfast menu, especially the top. Some are a little pricey, but well worth it-they're delicious and you probably won't be needing to eat again for hours. The Atchafalaya (crawfish ettouffe, grits and eggs) and Poche (boudin, grits, eggs and sauce piquant) both sounded amazing, so Yelper Daughter and I decided to divide and conquer; our forks were straying to each other's plates, for sure! The place itself is completely charming. It sits on a corner, so it's bright and sunny inside. They've preserved the interior of the old building, from the worn wood walls and ceiling to the beautiful display case and counters. Local art and old posters adorn the walls, and there's an old piano that, if you're lucky, will get used while you're there. The staff are friendly, and the whole place has a laid-back, neighborly vibe that fits in perfectly with beautiful Algiers Point. I will be back-many, many times.
(5)Wayne R.
Wow, what a treat. Great and creative breakfast in a homey neighborhood, and with live music to boot! Kid friendly, and yummy. Friendly locals in line with us asked us tourists to join them at their table. Small place, so tables were in short supply, by the way. Ck it out if you are in Algiers (US, not Algeria, that is).
(5)April M.
What a neat little place! Seriously tasty food! Whenever we have visitors they always insist on going there every morning for breakfast! The line is worth the wait. And if you go on a weekend there is usually live music :)
(5)Erika M.
This place is so good! I always have consistently great food and service. I recommend the juevos rancheros. They are the best I've ever had! Coffee here is delicious. It's small and quaint and very inviting. Hot food isn't served on Mondays tho so I usually come a different day. You can still get pastries and coffee on Mondays. I've also been here for lunch and had tuna salad and soup. Both were delicious. I definitely recommend this place and I bring friends and family when they're in town.
(5)Jacqueline B.
Expensive. I'm a local and THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. $13.00+ for "pain purdue"??? Two slices of bread soaked in milk and eggs??? One sprig of grapes for garnish??? And an additional $4.00 for two slices of bacon??? Throw in the coffee (which, please note - REFILLS ARE NOT FREE) and you're $20.00 in the hole before you even throw a tip at the "waitstaff". Oh, it might look cute from the outside. And it might lend some level of touristy "ambiance" to the 'hood, but it's not worth the price. And the thing that really sucks??? Is that there's nothing more to choose from on this end of Algiers Point. I've also been privy to rumors that the owner likes it just fine... there's no competition, so if you're thirsty you're paying $3.00+ tax for a carbonated Perrier. Thanks, but no thanks. Get in your car and head to Common Grounds in Gretna where you can get a killer breakfast with re-fillable coffee for LESS than $10.00 (including the tip). If I wanted to spend THAT MUCH on breakfast, I'd head on over to a REAL brunch spot, like Muriel's or Court of Two Sisters. Tout De Suite didn't even bother with the reach-around.
(1)Tiff D.
Love at first sight. This little cafe has everything you could want in a cafe. Rustic homely decor, great menu, local art and music... but there are areas of improvement. Great selection of salads, sandwiches, paninis as well as a creative breakfast menu. Live music at breakfast on the weekends. There aren't many tables and the place is pretty busy on weekends. Once customers leave the tables, it took a long time before they were cleaned, if they were at all. Its clear there is no busser. We ended up sitting at a dirty table to grab a seat. I had huevos rancheros. Fried eggs ontop of a heaping pile of black beans and corn tortillas layered in there somewhere. The eggs were undercooked, there was way too much black beans, and the tortillas were just a soggy mess. I wouldn't call this the "best" huevos rancheros as the menu states. The flavors were decent but execution was poor. I think this place has potential. I will be back. Hopefully other menu items are better.
(3)Nicole M.
Best breakfast nook ever. What I enjoy most about staying at the house in New Orleans is their bacon. Go early to avoid a crowd. Great local spot.
(5)Tad D.
One of my favorite places in NOLA. The food is great and it's off the beaten path. The place is totally low key. The atmosphere is quite fun and I love having breakfast out front. Highly recommended as a coffee shop or breakfast joint.
(4)Amanda P.
This place was good enough for me to come back two days in a row! Coffee is excellent.
(4)Lauren M.
I really wish I had enjoyed this place more, but after a total of 3 visits (I'm a sucker for second and third chances, especially with it being so close by), I just am still underwhelmed at best. The first time I went was over a year ago, the food was pretty good, on the expensive side for what we received, but not outrageous. I had the Le Jardin which I enjoyed and my friend had the Rueben, which he much preferred to eat the other half of my sandwich. The used to have a better side selection, I can't remember what they were, but I liked mine. The building itself is adorable, that's the one consistent positive they have. The second time, I went by myself for lunch during the spring. I had the tuna sandwich with a side salad, and a latte. Total cost for everything landed me right around $30 with tip. Now had the meal been something worth speaking about, I wouldn't bat an eye at the price; however, this was not. The salad was good enough, the sandwich was decent at best and as much as it pains me to say it, I could have received a better latte at Starbucks. Luckily, the building is still nice. Third time, I brought my father there over the summer since it was nearby and he had remarked that it was an interesting looking place. I ordered the Poche and he had the JCC. My father received his meal first and after about 5-10 minutes of waiting, I urged him to go ahead and eat. By the time my Poche had finally arrived, he had all but finished his JCC. They say timing is everything, in this case that proves true; I'm not a fan of taking turns with my dining companion watching each other eat. My father had been wanting to try grits, I didn't let him try the grits with my Poche since I didn't want those to be his first experience. Everything about the Poche was sloppy. Maybe I've been spoiled by other boudin clad breakfasts in New Orleans, but this was painfully underwhelming. Besides the obviously overworked staff who didn't seem too concerned with their customers, the interior was nice to look at. I actually have coupons for this place if anyone wants them, I can guarantee I will not be using them. For the price and lack of service, coupled with the mediocre food at best, I can honestly only give this place one star, it's just not worth the visit. If you'd like to see how cute it is, I'd suggest walking in, taking a look, then walking immediately back out. As much as I love to support businesses in Algiers Point, this is the only one I just cannot enjoy no matter how many times I go.
(1)Jackie A.
My favorite breakfast dish is biscuits and gravy and Tout De Suite makes my favorite in the city. They grill the biscuits and use a straight forward pork tasty sausage gravy without weird seasonings. They also make delicious pies. The atmosphere is really cute, and laid back. I really like this place.
(5)Casey D.
I asked for regular iced coffee and received hazelnut flavored iced coffee. This is not ok. Ever. Seemed like a nice spot but I can't forgive the flavored coffee.
(2)Teresa K.
I found this place looking for somewhere to eat lunch. I got the special of the day, a great reuben sandwich which is a rare find here. I chose the side salad and it had an awesome light lemony home-made dressing. I couldnt resist trying a blueberry pie, fresh, great crust. I got a blackberry cheese danish for "later". It had a perfectly fresh, recently baked wonderful crust and delicious, just right cheese and berry ratio. The setting is perfect in Algiers point neighborhood, across from a square and a church. Plenty of shady parking.
(5)John L. H.
Tout De Suite is a great little neighborhood cafe in one of my favorite areas of the city. While searching for a new place to try for lunch, I remembered this cafe. I had tried it several years ago after Hurricane Gustav when they were the only open restaurant for miles. I remembered liking it, but had completely forgotten about it. Thanks to the Yelp mobile app, I rediscovered it. The building looks like an old neighborhood grocery store. I felt like I was stepping into another era which made added to the overall ambiance. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table (there are also a few seats along the counter). The seating area was a little cramped, which made holding private conversations difficult, but it did make it easy to meet other customers. It seemed like this is the place for neighbors to socialize while eating. I almost wish I had gone when it was more crowded so I could have met more people. The food was very good. I had the Cuban Sandwich with potato salad. Both were great. The Cuban was so good that next time I go I will probably get another instead of trying something else. Service was very fast and friendly. For my sandwich, potato salad and a drink, it was under $10. If you're in the Point, I highly recommend you try Tout De Suite.
(4)Katrina S.
If you ever need to feel like you have transported to another world while sipping a freshly brewed drink and tempting your taste buds, go to Tout! It is an adorable cafe with something so comfortably romantic, that my first stay on Aligers I found myself here three times a week. This is a wonderful spot for gluten free eaters as well! They not only make fresh GF baked goods and have amazing salads, but they also carry GF cold cereals (something that is hard to find and though simple can bring a smile to even an adults face)
(5)Wayne S.
Southern perfect cookin'! This is the PERFECT breakfast/brunch spot. Incredible food, from simple southern, masterful quiches, to the signature Atchafalaya it's heaven. Add great coffee or espresso and enjoy the local vibe of regulars and a little live guitar on Sunday morning. The biscuits taste like my grandmothers kitchen, and the grits were perfect as well. I didn't sample the amazing looking pastries as even my gluttony in heaven has its limits. It's worth the trip over the bridge from the quarter to this nice part of Algiers to get the best breakfast in NOLA without the tourist claptrap.
(5)Jason M.
I really wish I could write this review in French. Tout de Suite is just a short ferry-ride away from the base of Canal street, then a nice stroll through the very interesting town of Algiers Point. Really cute, I mean cool, interior. Ordered the Reuben, but also tried the Cuban, Deep South (biscuits & gravy, egg, & potatoes), Katrita (Huevos Rancheros) and Algerine (Greek yogurt) -- we had a big party. My advice is to skip out on the paninis, unless they're your drug, in which case you should try more types of food. Go for the breakfast dishes instead. BUT, the red potato salad you MUST have if you are a fan of p-salads. The Reuben and Cuban paninis were pretty good still, but when was the last time you had a panini that made you pause and wonder about how many hours you've wasted eating sub-par food? The Katrita and Deep South might lead to this introspection. I usually only order Huevos Rancheros not because of the taste, but because it's so fun to say, with a rolled tongue and over-exaggerated accent. "Waaayvos Lancheeelos" is how it goes. But this one was really, really good. It's worthy of its pronunciation. Deep South is a mixture of The Breakfast Greats: biscuits & gravy, egg, and potatoes. It's served on a skillet. Nothing bad ever came served on a skillet. Algerine is also a good healthy option. LASTLY, get their Vanilla Latte, iced. Just do it.
(5)Michelle Y.
I've eaten here 7 times and try something new every time because the dishes are all so different. Every one of them, from lox and a bagel, to crawfish étouffée over eggs over grits, to tuna salad, has been so delicious and that's why I keep coming back. Finding a seat can be a challenge on weekend mornings but it hasn't stopped us yet. Heading there in the morning and can't wait to try something new.
(5)Connie L.
this is a really cool spot in algiers, right across the river from the qtr. it is a cool breakfast spot, with lots of regulars. the service is good, although one of the servers is not talkative at all, which can come across as rude, particularly given that nola is such a friendly place. just ignore her and enjoy the efficiency. the omelets are great, (vegetarian option particularly), and the sweets are sinful.
(4)Woody S.
I want very much to love this cafe. It's quaint. The coffee is good. The food is often scrumptious. What's my beef, then? It seems as though the staff is unhappy. That unhappiness translates into mediocre service and a feeling that the customers' needs come last compared with the rush to make and cut pastries for sale later in the day. I understand the daily pressures that are involved with a busy operation. But if you don't take time to say "hi" to your regular customers and first-time visitors, if you are so frazzled that you can't take an order without having to turn away and yell something to the kitchen staff in the middle of writing the order down, then it's time to remedy the situation. This could be a four-star neighborhood nook. Why the managers and employees act as though it's a Manhattan lunch diner is beyond me. Either get extra help or lower your prices! I speak from the heart. I want this place to succeed.

This adorable little café was located a couple of blocks from the house where myself and three friends stayed (using airbnb) this past holiday weekend. It was a good mix of locals and a few tourists (mainly my group). We all ordered coffees and breakfast, and enjoyed the live music that was being performed. I was boring and just had the eggs, meat, and biscuit, but it was very good. My friends also enjoyed their foods (biscuits and gravy, greek yogurt and honey, and muffins) and coffees. The only bummer-no alcohol. But I probably didn't need to drink every morning anyway!! Can't wait to come visit here again!

Poche' is so good. Only place I've found where you can get boudin as your breakfast meat! Live music on the weekends for breakfast is a great treat. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the slow service and sometimes they run out of ingredients. Highly recommend just for the atmosphere and the boudin!

Delicious. Atchafalaya is a must try. The grits was so creamy and perfectly seasoned. Iced coffee was perfect for a warm morning. This place is a neighborhood gem. Stop in if you're staying in the Gretna area.

Cute lil cafe that serves up delicious coffee, breakfast, salads, and panini sandwiches. The various panini sandwiches are my personal favorite along with the chicken salad. The prices are a bit high but there's not many places to eat in the point. Artsy decor with a friendly neighborhood attitude to match. Grab a book and hangout or drop by on the weekends for some music.

What a quaint little cafe. I style myself a huevos rancheros expert. I once ate at a different Mexican(-American) restaurant every day for two weeks straight (multiple times some days). It was a culinary experiment. I also order huevos rancheros, at every restaurant that has them, at least once. Tout de suite's were easily the best I've had in NOLA.

My husband, several friends and I stayed in a VRBO around the corner from Tout De Suite last weekend, and breakfast there (3 of our 4 days in NOLA!) was a fail-safe start to our grueling, sunburned days at Jazz Fest. From the oatmeal to the Bermuda Triangles -- my new favorite vegetarian fare to make at home -- to multiple egg dishes, the offerings were impressive, we all agreed. The musical duos that soundtracked our Saturday and Sunday mornings added to the experience, as well. As busy as the place was, we didn't wait too terribly long for our food, nor did we feel rushed out. Somehow it all just flowed. Wish we had one of these right down the street from MY house!

Tout de Suite is a lovely and quaint coffee shop in the heart of Algeers Point. Right when you walk in you can tell you're in a building that is over 100 years old. From the stained floors, to the cypress board walls, you can feel the nostalgia. The food here is really good, from paninis and sandwiches to delicious breakfast. I enjoy the farmer's breakfast! On Sundays, there are usually a couple of older gentlemen playing the banjo or a young girl that sings in french. When you're there, it's hard not to feel like you've stepped into a movie set. Why only 3 stars? It's a bit on the expensive side.

The food is pretty great, the prices are a bit high. Very cute inside and outside.

Used to love this place but, I think they had a change in management. The wait staff at the register is really rude. I have been coming here consistently for the last two years but probably won't come back for awhile unless things change back to friendly service.

I stepped past the community events flyers nestled on the outside bulletin board and into a creaky, lively gathering spot with hardwood floors (always my weak spot) and a decent doorway view into the tiny sort of messy "kitchen" just feet behind the counter. This place is my dream neighborhood cafe, I thought. Actually, I exclaimed it to my boyfriend. In actuality, it's not a place I can sit for hours and feel good about buying something at my typical 1 hour per purchase rate (freelancer etiquette I try my hardest to maintain.) I love the public computer (no porn or games), I love that several elderly members of the Algiers Point community are regulars, complete with regular orders and regular dining companions, I love that there is often live music at least on the densely packed weekend brunch times, and I love that ginger-cardamon-molasses cookies are a regular, not a seasonal cookie. As is true with so many mainstays in one's neighborhood, TDS is a treasure chest of paradoxes: the cafe's prices are steep (I blinked and realized I spent $22 on a salad in two drinks, and it all happened before I could say 'debit card'). Cookies are the size of my face which makes the $2 price tag actually okay in my book, and muffins are not as pioneer-spirited in consistency and sugar dosing as I prefer (theirs are solidly connected to the cake family). The staff (also owners?) are friendly and frank, another combo of opposites that is a good thing for a business I'll patronize frequently. A barista might complain loudly that a newcomer to the area expected her to remember her "regular" order after visiting once, and not ordering from her, but her mother, who looks like her. Another barista may tease the cook about how she's lost interest in the bearded man walking his dogs outside the window, and everyone at any moment may be short with you when you ask for the third time what became of your Marigny (English muffins, PB, berries) takeout order. (Waiting 30 minutes during peak times for an English muffin makes Miss B cranky, and gives her enough time to calculate how much she'd save if she drove to Rouse's for English muffins.) Sometimes I feel like I am finally getting my finger on the pulse of this New Orleans transplant thing when I eavesdrop here. Today, a young couple complained about how many "layers of shellac" people seem to need to put on their houses here. They also said "it seems like it SHOULD be cheap to live here, but it's not." They clucked about this as they sat under the array of magnets someone glued together from bits of trash, selling for $20 a pop. They also repeated "New Orleans" by name a lot, to the point where I started to worry the spirit of Nola might be conjured and smite us all on the spot. But I digress into my superstitious nature. To me, The Abbeville breakfast entree explains why this is pricier and a bit edgier than your typical neighborhood coffeeshop gathering place. Sausage patties, two poached eggs on CRISPY grits, grilled biscuit, and Steen's cane syrup. Very heavy and very wonderful. Each item is prepared carefully and the layers of elements work just right. The menu is curated with effort and intention, and you're sure to feel like you're tasting a slice of southern Louisiana culture if you take weekend breakfast here. It's better to think of this place as a full on restaurant with made to order entrees--the food is worth it, and then you won't feel pissed when you realize you've spent $30 for a hungover weekend breakfast for two from the local coffeeshop. If you live in AP, you are probably always here. See you soon!

Great stop in Algiers Point for a little snack & espresso pick me up. Short walk from ferry terminal. Good location to sit out when weather is nice & people watch.

There are no postings or signs anywhere that breakfast isn't served all day. We waited almost a half hour in line to order. When we get up there the Lady was super rude and acted like we were idiots for trying to order breakfast. We were going to do lunch there but the lady rubbed us the wrong way. Looks and smelled good though!
(2)Javonda H.
The katrita was so deelish! My daughter also enjoyed the jean Lafitte (silver dollar pancakes) they were fresh and very good! Cute spot it's a little tight but very cozy and welcoming. We've been in Algiers for 7 years and pass this place up during our morning levee runs! Can't believe we never stopped in for food. We'll definitely be back.

My sister recently moved a few houses down from Tout de Suite and every time I walked by, this charming little cafe caught my eye. I finally dove in and entered this sweet shop. I saw one staff member, very friendly with the few locals hanging around. After perusing their board, I ordered their Southern Belle: a chicken salad sandwich featuring apples, pecans, and celery with a side of locally made kettle chips (Zapps). The sandwich bread had been toasted to pair with the cold salad. The salad featured large chunks of chicken breast that tasted delicious with every bite. My husband ordered the Reuben panini with potato salad. He enjoyed his sandwhich, although he eventually removed the bread due to it getting a bit soggy. The potato salad had sliced potatoes and a hint of sweetness. We paired our lunch with a glass bottle Mexican Coke, although they had a bevy of coffee and tea drinks. If I had the room, I would have loved to indulge in one of their sweet baked goods, such as the blueberry pie that was featured. If you are looking for a charming place to eat in Algiers' Point, or a quick trip across the ferry from the quarter, stop by Tout de Suite!

I miss this place already. When visiting friends in Algiers, I found Tout De Suite and wound up there every day for breakfast -- and everything I had was delicious. The Deep South, Atchafalaya and Plaquemines dishes all vied for top honors, and all wound up in a three-way tie. The Blue Eyes herbal iced tea, which for some reason is red, was another daily choice, along with the mocha. I don't drink coffee, but there was a lot to love on the board. Add in the wifi, outdoor tables, down-home vibe of the place and the fact that the tunes never let me down, even throughout several hour-long visits, and you can see why it's getting such high marks from patrons. If you are in the area, stop in and check it out.

My husband and I were in New Orleans for a long weekend last year in November. We were told that Algiers Point was worth the ferry ride and a walk around. We didn't have any idea where to go. There was some little dive as you got off the ferry, but it looked a bit touristy so we popped out our google map and looked up food. We happened up on this cafe. Let me tell you it was the best meal we had in New Orleans. I had the Cuban and my husband had one of their big salads with tons of fresh veggies. We were so excited to find this place. We each had delicious coffee beverages and then proceeded to sit there for a number of hours and played scrabble. The southern hospitality was alive and well here. If we find ourselves in New Orleans again, we will definitely find this great cafe AGAIN!!

what a great surprise....nestled in this historic neighborhood is a cafe that's a vegetarians dream....while there is "regular" food...it has lots of veggie options. The qunioa salad is fantastic. have been twice already.
(5)Avalon M.
I was the only one at the counter and I waited 10 minutes for the woman working to acknowledge that I was there. When she did, she was very rude and treated me like I was an idiot for trying to order breakfast when, apparently, they don't serve breakfast past a certain time (which is not posted anywhere). I was disappointed because it really looks like this place should feel friendly and hospitable, but truly it is not. The food was not very good, coffee was okay, service was downright awful and unwelcoming.
(1)Traci N.
The food was outstanding. The service left something to be desired. It must have taken 30-45 minutes for our lunch. I think they were busy closing up shop for the day instead of preparing our food once we got it though it was scrumptious. Blueberry pie still tasted like real fruit which we loved. Wild mushroom mac n cheese was delish as was the gumbo & grits thing. We also ordered a sandwich with Brie and gruyere that wasn't toasted as they said and was bland.
(3)Michelle T.
Nice, cozy little cafe with lots of character. Friendly lady working at the front. The Seduction Salad was deliciously satisfying, with lots of fresh lettuce (I think it included some arugula, which I love), shredded carrots. sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, walnuts, almonds, dried cranberries, sliced avocado, and a yummy vinaigrette dressing in a container. (Love it when the dressing is in a container so that you can add only as much as you want and don't have a salad drowning in dressing). I also had a Le Jardin hummus sandwich but without the feta (not a fan of feta). The sandwich was good, though a bit on the slim side without the feta. Loved the hearty bread they used for the sandwich, the hummus was tasty (although just a thin layer), and the veggies were fresh. I also had the quinoa salad, which seemed to have feta in it too. My dining companion had a tuna salad sandwich which he said was good, and he also had the couscous, which seemed pretty good. I got a morning glory muffin, and it made a deliciously wholesome snack. I love getting baked goods at health-oriented places, because they don't drown them in sugar and oil. A number of tables had plates, napkins, etc. left from previous customers left on them, so we cleared out a table by the window for ourselves. Guess they were a little short of help that afternoon when we stopped by. They had an old upright piano there as well as a little play area for kids. Veg*n options. Great place to relax for a bit.

Leisurely brunch this morning with good friends from out of town. They picked the spot, and I must say, what a gem! Tout De Suite is located in Algiers Point near the ferry landing. You stand in line, place your order, and wait for your meal to be served. My cafe au lait was spot on. Delicous. They do offer fresh squeezed oj, but they had run out, but will be sure to go earlier next time so chances will be better. I had the Katrita, which is a NOLA twist on huevos rancheros. My eggs were cooked to perfection, served with two types of cheese, black beans, salsa--I thoroughly enjoyed my food. My husband had the Farmer Brown, which was a nice pile of Potatoes O'Brien, topped with cheese, avocado, sour cream--and he really liked his food. One friend had the Atchafalaya--grits topped with crawfish etoufee, and another friend had the Deep South, which were Potatoes O'Brien and a biscuit, topped with country gravy and a side of grits. Everyone was very happy and cleaned their plates. All in all, an excellent experience and well worth traveling across the ferry for a wonderful treat!
(5)Mike P.
I had the Reuben with pasta salad and it was quite good, the marble rye was a nice touch as well. The place itself had a very cool vibe and i love that they have a bunch of books you could grab while eating. I'll be back here again.

There is no greater compliment that I can give to Tout De Suite than that I don't mind the flies that are plentiful in the summer everywhere in New Orleans... I have named a few and developed a first-name relationship with them. The price is moderate for what you get: but the sandwiches are so good I feel like I get away with a steal every time. Breakfast here is complex and interesting, and feels like health-food masquerading as hashbrowns and too many pancakes. (This is the triumph of atmosphere, partly, which is artsy and cool, but much more that Tout de Suite's operators really do value freshness and quality in their ingredients.) The coffee is so-so, but good enough as an excuse to hang out in this really charming, cool place. Now and then some really good musicians lend a tone. Well worth coming.

What a gem! I happened upon this place when I was on my way to eat my birthday dinner at the apparently now-defunct Aunt Leni's (R.I.P., Leni). They have a wide variety of fresh pastries, cakes, bevvies, panini and "sexy salads" to choose from. Although I really wanted to try one of their high octane coffees I thought of my unborn baby and went with a grapefruit soda. I also had a bacon, chicken and pesto panini and my love had one of his own concoctions and left a very happy camper. He, being a no-nonsense construction worker, usually wrinkles his nose at "foofy" coffee shops but even he was pleased with the homey atmosphere, delicious and filling food, authentically friendly staff, and outdoor seating options. I'm excited about turning this place into one of my local haunts.
(5)Mary Katherine B.
During my excursion to Algiers Point, see my review for that too, we drove by this adorable coffee shop and were lured by the cafe tables outside and the plants hanging in baskets. Such a cute cafe with character! This is the definition of local coffee shop; I'm jealous of Algiers Point. I got the Iced Latte and it was one of the best I've ever had. I soooo wanted to gobble up one of their of cookies. It looks like they have a great lunch selection too. Can't wait to come back.
(4)Jana B.
Cute atmosphere, and the owner Jill is very nice. The food is tasty and made quickly. price is fair for breakfast or lunch. I recommend this coffee shop!
(5)Katja J.
It was a nice cafe. The coffee was good and they have a good food selection. The Paninis and soups were good and the prices are decent! The staff was kinda nice! We just couldn't stay seated inside because it's an open kitchen and our eyes were watering from the cut onions! We were crying!:) So we had to move outside! They also have outdoor seating. It was a nice short stop for 4 hungry people.

We often visited for brunch after our Sunday morning bike ride when we lived in Algiers and occasionally visit when we have time now that we've moved further away. The food is tasty and the service has never been anything but stellar. Normally there's someone playing music on weekend mornings, which makes for wonderful atmosphere and a great start to the day. I've been in for lunch a few times too...my partner loves their Reuben, though I'm more partial to their veggie fare.
(5)Karen E.
We wandered across on the Canal Street ferry today to check out Algiers Point and found this neighborhood gem. We drove but you can easily walk to it from the ferry stop. I spent hour sipping coffee with a delicious gluten free muffin (yep gluten free!) and finishing off some work I needed to do on my vacation. ( free wi-fi) This place makes you feel like you belong in the neighborhood. Nothing touristy about it, very welcoming, excellent food, calm, relaxing. If I lived in NOLA, I'd choose this neighborhood. When you need to escape the crazies in the French Quarter, hop on the ferry and wind your way to Tout De Suite!
(5)Ashley H.
Relaxing way to spend a lunch. No body bothers you or rushes you everyone that goes there is nice (it seems). A really nice place to have a decent cup of coffee or enjoy a quiet lunch. Ruben Panini with Red Potato Salad the first visit and Ruben Panini with Chips (out of salad) and an Iced Latte the second time. Really good sandwich. I will gladly go back. It seemed a little high for a Ruben Panini but I will gladly pay a little extra to relax during lunch instead of being rushed out like Cattle. Nice...all the way around. A really nice visit.
(4)doug K.
Lovely, quiet cafe in Algiers. A straight up friendly and welcoming neighborhood joint. My bike tire went flat outside and the woman behind the counter (who seems to run the place herself) put together a stellar veggie sandwich and iced soy chai for me while locals gave me directions to give a friend. When the friend got lost on the way to pick me up, they got all into helping her out, and clapped when her car pulled up. Went back today- gorgeous day for a trip to Algiers., Decent tea and uncomfortable chairs inside, but a perfect place to homebase yourself to get some work and writing done on a lazy afternoon if the sun's shining, because the outdoor seating works and people walk by with puppies and babies and say "how ya doin?"
(4)Amanda A.
We love breakfast here. The biscuits are my favorite and their Huevos Rancheros is delicious! Get there before church lets out to grab a table.
