Great Find! - Edit
Came for traditional New Orleans food made vegan. The gumbo was good, the krabcakes excellent. Came back for breakfast and had pancakes, Just Egg scrambled, sausage, and orange juice. Yummy! So hard to find vegan breakfast food!

Good 🫃🏻 - Edit
Happy that there is at least one vegan option at the French Market — spicy sausage po boy was very good. It was my first time trying beignets, and those were also very good 🫃🏻

so happy to have found this place. it's always tough to feel like you're not missing out on a piece of culture when most local spots don't really know to accommodate for vegans, but meals from the heart gave me the opportunity to try (and love) red beans and rice. thank you!!

Vegan Beignets!!! - Edit
Don’t miss their vegan beignets!! Powdered sugar served on the side, I slathered them with the leftover jelly that came with the breakfast sandwich we got as well, so good!!
Read moreLocated in the covered French Market, tables are available nearby. They have a separate vegan menu with plenty of breakfast and lunch items. We tried the sausage egg n cheese muffin, and the grits eggs and chicken sausage plate with fruit. Both were fantastic, the plate offered quite a bit more food than the muffin sandwich however the fruit cup was very small comprised of one half of a strawberry and 6 blueberries.
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly service, Unique menu items
Cons: Were not accepting cash when we visited , Fruit cup was very small

Great Vegan Beignets! - Edit
Visiting New Orleans on a road trip and searched to find a place with authentic vegan beignets. The beignets here are amazing (10/10), fluffy, covered in powdered sugar, flakey. You get 4 beignets for $7 though which is pretty expensive for the portion size. But hey, at least they’re vegan.
Read moreWe also tried the vegan gumbo here but unfortunately it was a miss (5/10). It was only vegetables, no vegan shrimp or sausage or even protein. It had a few beans but was mostly a spiced soup which isn’t worth it when paying $19 for a large size. Other places like E’co have much better vegan gumbo.

So good that I went back! - Edit
Awesome food stall! Definitely go for vegan beignets while you’re in town. My favorite dish was the crab cake benedict, though everything was good. This is one of few options in the quarter, but fortunately it’s a great one!

Nice people with some good food - Edit
This place is in the French Market, which can be pretty dead when there are no tourists but very lively when there's something going on. We went during a Christmas parade, and the place was jumping.
Read moreI had vegan beignets, which were good. In fact, they made me hungry for more, so I had some beans and rice. That hit the spot. Flavorful and satisfying.
If you're in the area, and the French Market is open, check this place out. Get some vegan beignets. It's fried dough and powdered sugar. I don't know why the other places make it so complicated (involving animals).
