Cafe Porche & Snowbar - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food was delicious and the waitstaff were so lovely. A really nice place that I’d definitely recommend!

3 Days in New Orleans and we came twice!! Food was delicious! Our family is definitely coming back .

Amazing people and super welcoming & food is out of this world

The food was amazing and service was above and beyond. The best service I’ve had in a number of years. 5 star quality.

Loved the lavender, honey oatmilk latte. Also appreciated a dedicated vegetarian section on the menu. Definitely recommend a visit to experience real new orleans hospitality. Cornella was so incredibly helpful and friendly. :D

Food and service were fantastic, 10/10 would recommend.

My favorite place to go for a quiet meal. The service is great and the food is delicious.

Wonderful fried grits. Try the million dollar coffee with house made white chocolate. Well worth your hard earned!

We are so happy to choose this place for a breakfast. The yummiest food and a fantastic service. We have tried Black pearl, The Gumbo and Shrimp & Grits. Sorry for no pictures we ate it so fast. We also meet Coronella ❤️the owner of this place, she was so helpful to help us plan our day.

It’s great to support a local business and then to have such outstanding service on top of it ! Thank you for your breakfast we loved it

Located in neighborhood of our VRBO. Small venue and menu, family friendly. We had three different menu items - French toast, grits and eggs, red beans n rice - all were fantastic. Had two specialty drinks - fresh italian soda and tequila sunrise - also well done. Was a great first stop on our trip - staff was engaging and super nice - will return for more before we leave for sure.

Perfect spot for brunch before exploring the Garden District! Incredibly kind owner, delicious shrimp & grits and drinks! Highly recommend this place!!

Can’t say enough good things about this gem. Grits to die for, fabulous cocktails and Coronella: the nicest, kindest owner ever!) It’s a bit hidden from sight, but don’t give up! You will well rewarded. Enjoy!

The owner of this place was very sweet but this place is certainly not worthy of its 4.9 star. The food was only ok for the price. Meals did not arrive anywhere close to the same time. And cutlery was plastic. We had very high hopes and left disappointed.

Service is stellar. Food? AMAZING. What an awesome brunch spot off the beaten path. You will not be disappointed. A++

This place is a Hidden GEM❣Fun place Perfect! Perfect food! I was torn between the French toast and the shrimp and grits...but they offer smaller portions as sides; perfect! The owner is a superb artist and it shows inside and out! This is me, Zora the cook and Daisy (the magical flying pig :-)

I didn't get a chance to eat there, but the food looked great. Coffee was fantastic.

This place is amazing truly a hidden gem the owner is phenomenal and very poise.This was truly a nourishment to the soul .

I will make DAM SURE I come back with others to experience what I've done. This food was let me just say son of a @$###$ it was good. I shall come back with a group.

The food was really good and our server was so nice. We brought our dog and sat out on the patio. Its is a small but cute place to grab a bite. I’ll be recommending it to friends next time they’re in NOLA!

Coranella and her skilled staff always provide a superior dining experience. The food.. service 100% one of the best in the world I'm thankful that I found this jewel in Central City.. COME see for yourself

The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. They made us feel at home! Love this place and can't wait to return

I was also drawn to this spot because of great reviews and I must say I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered the French toast along with fried catfish. Everything was delicious! I will definitely be back!

If you’re in New Orleans and craving a classic Southern brunch, you can’t go wrong with the smothered shrimp and grits at Porche Cafe. Their dish is a delightful symphony of flavors, featuring succulent Gulf shrimp atop creamy, stone-ground grits. It’s a dish that truly embodies the spirit of New Orleans cuisine—comforting, rich, and utterly delicious. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Porche Cafe's shrimp and grits are a must-try for an authentic taste of the city's culinary heritage. .

Authentic food with great flavor. This place was a small little place with great food. Had the French toast, catfish and cheesy grits. Amazing food. The grits were my favorite so good. Didn't know they could be that good. I'm not accustomed to grits but we're delicious. A must try.

This place is a great little gem. Cocktails were smooth and delicious. Shrimp and grits well flavored and cooked. French toast with just the right amount of sweetness. And an amazing server who was welcoming and had great recommendations! We felt so welcome.

Working in the area and stopped for breakfast and little information. Very very helpful. Breakfast was awesome. Thanks for the coffee with no sugar. Will be back.

Soooo...I specifically stopped by this restaurant because of the reviews. It was aMAZing! The Beybellle (spell ✅) with Shrimp is the best shrimp and grits I've ever had! And I've had a lot of shrimp and grits! My daughter had the french toast, made with brioche, I believe. That also was amazing. I highly recommend this place! Update: I originally visited Cafe Porche in December of 2019. I recently doubled back to see if they still had the best shrimp and grits. I was not disappointed! I would still give them 5 stars. Such a hidden gem! And the customer service was excellent as usual.

Porche Cafe & Snowbar Wow. Everything I tasted was delicious. I’m a local; this is my new brunch spot. The owner Coronella Porche took care of us and she was sweet as the honey peach tea cocktail Porche Paradise she served us. The staff got hit with a sudden rush or 20+ people at the same time. Despite the rush, Coronella seated the 8 of us, served us, and closed us out in less than an hour. Highlights: gumbo, Caesar dressing, Porche paradise sweet peach tea cocktail, veggie omelette. Thank you Coronella! I will be back soon!

Enjoyed this place immensely. Great staff and customer service. On my list of Breakfast places.

We ate breakfast early on Mardi Gras day — what a tasty way to start the day!! Ms. Porche’s shrimp and grits are LIFE CHANGING. The food was so good and the people there so kind and friendly. You will thank yourself for seeking this place out to eat while you’re in the neighborhood.

Had a great lunch. Met the owner, lovely lady, great cook! The food was delicious. I highly recommend Cafe Porche & Snowballs

My favorite to go to when i visit New Orleans. Shrimp and grits were 🔥

Brunch at this hidden gem was one of the most authentic and friendliest restaurant experiences I've had! We brunched on the patio on a quiet Friday morning and the hostess was incredibly kind and welcoming, not to mention the food was amazing! My partner and I shared a combination of the catfish fillet, eggs and grits and the french toast, which was exactly what we needed on a NOLA brunch outing! Highly recommend!

Our son recommended this place. I guess we came on a busy day. May give it anther try next year.

Great food, good prices, and extra care.

Food was great! The service was excellent, made me feel right at home.

French toast amazing! Service great!

We came here for breakfast after seeing it on a recommended list and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible and the service was fantastic! Do not miss the fried grits and shrimp. Will definitely be back!

Coronella opened this restaurant six years ago. We had the pleasure of meeting her, she is such a kind and generous soul. She looked after our every need, including insisting on giving me a plastic bag to keep my bag dry in the rain. I mentioned I was walking to the street car and she wouldn’t let me! She insisted on driving me to the stop so I wouldn’t have to walk in the rain. Truly incredible kindness that should never be expected of anyone, but was so appreciated! Our food was of course incredible! I got the fried grits with shrimp. Flavorful shrimp and great sauce on the grits. My coworker loved their pork chops with gravy.

Perfect spot. High on all points. The french toast was incredible.

Stopped in while we were in town because of the reviews.mqn were they right. This place is amazing, it's tough to see from the street but don't give up. Best french toast I've ever had ever! We ate on the patio with our dogs. The service was some of the best I've ever had. They really get the little stuff right too, like for example the coffee was so fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.

THE FOOD IS AMAZING! GREAT SERVICE! The people are so warm and kind. We had a great breakfast. The portions are wonderful and not over priced. The mimosas are tasty. Highly recommend.

Went out of their way to make snowballs for us even though the stand was closed, and the snowballs were great!

The food was so good, we had to hug the cook (no lie!)!! Absolutely Amazing!! Hands down! The food was very delicious!! The service was excellent & quick! The shrimp & grits,…. Perfection! The fried grits & shrimp was indescribably delicious!! It’s in a great location, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend & will definitely come back the next time we visit.

THIS WAS AMAZING!!!! Excellent service, the food was GOURMET QUALITY. 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants the best taste of NOLA!

Tasty food with quick friendly service.

Honestly price doesn’t match value its I hard to eat farmed raised seafood. Left my shrimp on the plate because they tasted like soap.

Food was fresh and excellent ! Staff and owner are friendly . Some of the best food I had in NO. Highly recommended

The food and service are blessings from GOD!!! Shout out to Tonya (sp?)

If you’re in the neighborhood this is the place for breakfast or lunch. Away from the noise, simple but excellent food, ladies there are super kind and fun.

Quiet place in a residential neighborhood. Great breakfast. Worth a visit

This was a treasure to find! Friendly and attentive staff and the food was super. I had the veggie omelet and added shrimp which had a great NOLA savory seasoning and my husband had a perfectly crusted catfish. I want to go back! Lovely women at the helm in a welcoming atmosphere!

Visited Cafe Porche on a Saturday morning. There is plenty of free street parking and it is close to the Muses apartments. One enters through a gate and the snowball stand is in the front of the property and the entry to the cafe is in the back. There was not a lot of seating but it was just the two of us. We ordered the Lakeview morning and the Carol B fried grits with shrimp. It was rollin'! The cream sauce was so good. Our server was not so attentive but I think that she was just a substitute for the actual server that was helping out in the snowball area. The new server was more of a people person. An older lady came to our table and thanked us for our patience even though the wait was not that long. If you know me, you know I had to order a wedding cake snowball to-go! They put condensed milk on top. The ice was crunchy but the juice was good. Overall, I would return.

The food was nothing short of amazing! Best omelet and shrimp and grits ever!

Place was amazing! We stumbled into it on a search for snowcones. The snowcones and the food did not disappoint. The place is super cute, definitely go and try them!

What a joy! Great food with an atmosphere that’s just as good. Met the owner - who is amazing. Proud to support this business and look forward to coming back!

AMAZING food. Definitely get the catfish & shrimp and grits. Classics done to perfection.

Yummy place! Everything is delicious!

The food was hot, fresh, and tasty. It was also a value for the price.

Food was okay the owner was nice but plastic cups and plastic cups are not my vibe nit for the experience marketed on Google cocktail menu was still being updated mimosas served in a plastic cup are a no for me !

The owner and staff made our experience for Essence Festival one of the best! They were super accommodating despite the crowd and took very good care of our group of six. The food was perfectly seasoned - best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had!! We will be back!

Food and service were exceptional. They were very nice and attentive, but the food was damn good. It's definitely a hidden gem.

Delicious home style Southern food, good value, excellent friendly service, nice atmosphere. The eggs and grits were perfect, these cooks know what they are doing.

Reasonably priced and delicious. Staff were very nice. :)

Everything was delicious… customer service top notch

Best breakfast I had in New Orleans, gabs hands down. Service The ladies who work here are so kind, and they can recommend the best dishes. Food Fried grits and shrimp was unreal. Also had the fried catfish and it was very good. Price Totally fair. Recommend? Yes. I’ll be returning whenever I’m back in town.
