Deserves 5 stars - Edit
I cannot recommend this place enough - if you are looking for vegan food in New Orleans you MUST come by here for breakfast/brunch/lunch. The food was amazing, or server was super kind and gave great recommendations. They even gave us a free vegan muffin because they were closing up for the day and didn’t want to throw it out. Went with non vegan friends who were also amazed by the place. The food. The drinks. The atmosphere. Just come here you won’t regret it.

Nettes Personal - Essen versalzen und verbrannt. - Edit
Die Wartezeit für das Restaurant war lange. Das Personal dort war sehr freundlich. Leider war das ganze Essen entweder versalzen und etwas verbrannt oder hat nach nichts geschmeckt. Die veganen Pancakes waren gut und fluffig. Ein weiterer Minus Punkt sind die Preise und das extra berechnen von „Milchalternativen“

Get the pancakes - Edit
I love a good fluffy blueberry pancake and these were perfect. The blueberry syrup that comes with the short stack was delicious. We also enjoyed the tofu scramble. The potatoes were out of this world. The black bean sausage tasted more like a black bean burger patty than sausage, but still good. I also had their peach paradiso tea which was yummy.
Read moreWorth the wait. Get there early. Though since we only had a party of 2, we were able to be seated in only 7 mins instead of the 30 they said when we put our name down. The food is worth waiting for an hour though!

Delicious vegan options! - Edit
Loved the vegan brunch I had! Would love to return and try more of the options. The vegan pancakes were SO fluffy! And their blueberry lavender mint lemonade was delicious. Note that they do not accept reservations, so just plan for a bit of a wait, but it was worth it!

Great brunch option! - Edit
There was a 20 minute wait for two on a Sunday morning, but this place deserved the crowd. There were plenty of vegan options, including delicious pancakes! I didn’t love my rancheros, but fortunately my boyfriend’s breakfast was huge so I ate plenty.

Amazing!! A good place for all! - Edit
We had a group with vegans, omnivores, and someone with celiac disease and Bearcat was able to satisfy us all! Not just satisfy, but we all agreed it was the best breakfast of the trip. The vegan pancakes are the best pancakes I've had out, hands down. Fluffy and delicious. I get tired of tofu scramble but this one was very tasty. They had house-made black bean "sausage" - while the texture wasn't so hot, I'm not a fan of the impossible type fake meats so if you're like me you will enjoy. Multiple options for plant-based, and also gluten-free such as gf pancakes. And wonder of wonders, their bloody mary is made with vegan worcestershire sauce!!! So everyone can enjoy! If you don't like to wait, get there early. I will definitely return and highly recommend it!

Perfect place for vegans and their carnivore +1’s! - Edit
Vegan blueberry pancakes! Tofu “egg” scramble! Black bean “sausage”! Got a vegan blueberry muffin to go and it was just a fresh the next morning in the hotel! It’s rare to find a place with delicious food for all but my carnivore 1 raved about the shrimp scallops and grits for days!
Read morePros: Delicious vegan brunch options, Super friendly service, Excellent food for both vegans and non vegans!

Must try visiting Nola - Edit
Was worth the 01:45 hr wait I had the Wild Mushroom Katsu Sandwhich, the Breakfast Potatoes, & the Blueberry pancake. My partner had the Vegan Bearcat (Tofu Scramble, Black Bean Sausage, Breakfast Potatoes, Cauliflower “grits”, & Blueberry Lavender Mint Lemonade). It was all very good but the potatoes OMG. I tasted his lemonade and it was bomb too. Go Early not later lol.

Best Breakfast in NOLA - Edit
This is by far the best breakfast meal I have had in New Orleans. I got the Vegan Bearcat with pancakes and it was a good portion and filled me up! The potato’s were extremely crispy, the black bean aqua sage Pattie’s had great flavor and the tofu eggs were outstanding!! You would never know the pancakes and the butter were vegan too!! Not to mention my cappuccino was perfectly made too! I would give this five stars if the app would let me. I will definitely be back! #Veganuary

Went twice in one trip - Edit
We loved this place so much we had to go twice in one trip! The guava mint tea was incredible, I also got the pancakes one visit, and the breakfast burrito another trip, and both were so yummy. The nachos were also great! Don't be scared off by a wait time, it never took them more than 15 minutes to seat us. Highly recommend!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Reasonable prices, Homemade teas/lemonades!

You need to go here!!! - Edit
5 stars for sure. The menu isn't 100% vegan, but that shouldn't deter you at all! I ordered the bearcat vegan and added the pancakes and let me say those pancakes were the BEST I ever had. The tofu scramble and the potatoes paired very well together and were delicious. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the black bean patties texture. But I would HIGHLY recommend this place. Plus the service was excellent!!! (Oh and side note you should order the mango lemonade it was AMAZING)

Delicious vegan menu - Edit
Bearcat has lots of vegan options, healthy and more comfort food style. They have multiple vegan milk options (highly recommend their house made coconut milk) and vegan treats (muffins, etc). The patio is gorgeous and huge, dog friendly too. The portions are great and the flavors are spot on.

Crispy potatoes should be named crack potatoes - Edit
Recommend? Yes if you’re in the area.
Read moreThis is not an all vegan establishment. Items I ordered are. I got the butterfly matcha latte, breakfast burrito, and crispy potatoes.
Butterfly Matcha Latte - Exactly like how I remember from my trip last year. Floral version of matcha and creamy.
Breakfast burrito - This is definitely a 2 meal kind of burrito. Tofu scrambled is close enough to an egg as I care for it to be in a burrito. The tomato brings freshness to it. It is a bit on the wet side so I don't recommend eating it in a car.
Crispy potatoes - There's something addicting about these. Maybe it's the perfect balance of savory, crispy, and starchiness?
Great place for brunch. Please give the vegan options a try!

Yummy! - Edit
As soon as we came in the server was very nice and guaranteed me I could veganize anything. That was so nice to hear. Once seated she was very accommodating. Food was delicious and the amount was great! Service was slow (it could be due to Covid) . The downside is that yes theres vegan options but you are charged additional for some of the items .
Read morePros: Food is nicely presented and very tasty. , The server was very accommodating . , Server indulged me in veganizing a non vegan item

A must if you're in New Orleans - Edit
The staff is very knowledgeable about their products and upon telling them I was vegan, they told me which items would be excluded from my meal to make it vegan... I will definitely return.

Yummy Brekky Spot - Edit
Although there is a non-vegan option, Bearcat is really good for vegans. I love their matcha latte and crispy potatoes. They have a to go juice cooler too. Loved the atmosphere and of course, their kitty mascot is adorable.
