I had a really good vegetable omelet at Cafe Gentilly. I have never had an omelet where the ingredients were on top of the egg instead of inside it. The veggies were cooked well and so were the eggs. Fantastic artichoke. I’ve heard the hype around town for this place being a really solid breakfast spot and was anxious to try it. It was really packed when I went in there and took around 25 minutes for me to get my omelet. Disappointing but it is what it is and I can’t leave less than 5 before the omelet was that good and at an affordable price. Would have liked a bit more hash-browns, though.
Food was delicious! We tried Shrimp creole Benedict and Eggs Sardou (the shrimp creole is the best). The owner is really nice. They only accept cash (but there's and ATM in the same block). The right amount of food, good prices and awesome flavor!
Food was amazing!!! The drink machine wasnt working, so ice and drinks were served from a styrofoam cooler and canned drinks from a fridge, but the food made up for it. They were super busy, too!
Very nice and cozy family run breakfast restaurant. Be prepared to pay with cash only. I had a Breakfast Po-Boy and my wife had a Breakfast Special with bacon and hash browns.
Neighborhood cafe, cash only. Breakfast was excellent - great food, good prices, friendly staff.
breakfast was great, friendly staff, clean tables, affordable
Now, I love small, family ran businesses but this has got to be one of my favorite. The food was made fresh to order, piping hot and super flavorful. The cashier that took our order was friendly and made us feel welcome. Excellent experience and we will definitely be back. If we weren't so full from our meal, we would've ordered again just to taste it.
What a fantastic gem! I've heard so much about Cafe Gentilly over the years yet I've never been there until today. do yourself a favor and enjoy breakfast there. The owner and the staff are so personable in the food is top-notch. We had two different omelets and they were both fantastic and we shared them. Great fresh coffee and a total neighborhood spot. Make sure to stop by.
