Willa Jean

Hi hi 👋 back for more adventures from my trip to New Orleans ✨️ ☺️ Thank you all for helping me reach 13 million views. Please remind to like if you wanna see more reviews like this. Here's your review: Miss Eunice Hunt from Jazzy Hats shop in the French Quarter told me to go here when I said I needed some real shrimp and grits. And let me tell you!!!!!! They are celebrating 10 years of service as of 2025. The smells were great, they are health conscious, have milk alternatives for the café drinks, have REAL King cake served by the slice and you can pre order a whole one for $40. They make their biscuits from scratch, they has croissants, cookies, cakes, muffins, corn bread, pecan pie with a unique twist, and of course the shrimp and grits were soooooo flavorful. The staff were extre

Cute brunch restaurant! It’s was really busy on a Saturday morning but the 30 minute wait went pretty quickly while walking around the area. I got the fried chicken biscuit and it was so good! The fried chicken was amazing but wish it was a bit spicier and had less honey and the biscuit was good but not the best I’ve had in New Orleans.

Had a breakfast here and let's start out that the pastries That were very nice. We had eggs at our table of all kinds. Abby our server made some suggestions for us and I went with the Crawfish Omelet that she suggested but subbed the potatos out for thier biscuit... I tasted the potatoes they were also delicious but the biscuit was the best I had all week in New Orleans! The Crawfish Omelet was filled with Crawfish Mozzarella and spices. It was a nice omelet smaller in size than the others I had this week but good. My friend had the veggie omelet but be sure to like Mushrooms as it is filled with mushrooms. Loud and large space Abby was great and kept us feed well.

YEE DOGGIES this is amazingly good! The wait is ridiculous so join the wait-list early online. The chicken and waffles (5/5) were amazing - perfectly seasoned crispy chicken with a lovely sweet and unique kick from the pecans and the marshmallow and earthiness from the potato waffle. Like wow. The biscuit and gravy (5/5) also fire. Thick sausage chunks with a savory, creamy gravy and a very well done, flaky, buttery biscuit. This and bear cat were my favorite biscuits in NOLA. The short rib bowl (4/5) was very good but not as good as the other stuff. Shrimp and grits (3.5/5) were okay. Service is also super nice.

Willa Jean in New Orleans is a very nice breakfast spot with a spacious, clean, and inviting atmosphere. I loved the bakery section and the overall vibes of the restaurant. The food was good — I tried the avocado toast and the crab omelet, both of which were enjoyable. The standout for me was the biscuit: perfectly flaky, buttery, and delicious, easily a 10/10. That said, while everything was solid, it wasn’t quite as mind-blowing as I expected based on all the hype. The avocado toast and omelet were tasty but didn’t leave a lasting impression. Overall, it’s a great spot for breakfast with quality food and a lovely atmosphere, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a must-visit on a New Orleans trip.
