I ordered my food at 7am thru uber eats. I’m thinking because it early I should get fresh food I GUESS NOT I’m so livid the whole order is a waste of money. The donuts are cold and poorly made at this point I should have asked for coffee donuts instead of glaze because that what I got. My sandwich is very COLD, HARD AND VERY OLD not to mention y'all don’t read I asked for strawberry y'all gave me grape. Customer service sucks and ya’ll don’t know how to take care of paying customers. Mark my words this is the last time I waste my money with this company and I will be sure to let my peers know as well how negligent, you guys are with people’s money and food.

Customer service alone TOP TIER! From walking in the door feeling like family to the patience and smiles. We ordered the seafood grits with hash and eggs, stuff cream cheese beignets, and a side of smoked sausage for $31 (with tip). They ran out of the sweet potato stuffed beignet but sis behind the counter said "I gotcha' I love this!
My first time trying this business. I got there bright and early and went to the Chicken & Waffle side. The food looked fresh and amazing. Ordered Shrimp and Grits, which came with eggs, hashbrowns and a biscuit. Also got the breakfast rice, 6 piece wings and one dozen original buttermilk drops. While leaving the store- I noticed the bakery side - went in there and the selection of donuts was awesome. They even sell day old donuts at a special price. Pros: Staff is very friendly and welcoming. They were opened as advertised. Variety of menu items Breakfast rice and homemade biscuit were delicious. The amount of food for the price is nice. Cons: None of the remaining menu items were seasoned -didn’t even have salt or pepper. The shrimp were sauteed but also had no flavor. The buttermilk drops are not the nostalgic flavor I was expecting. Summary: I expected better tasting food from an establishment in the Creole 7th ward. I understand that customer’s salt and pepper tastes are different; but totally bland food, in NOLA, should never happen.
So every year when I visit Nola, I have to go to buttermilk drop bakery. Not only are the pastries at the bakery fresh and delicious but the shrimp and grits are delicious. They give you great portions, it is well seasoned and it will keep you coming back.
I watched a lot of YouTubers talk about this spot and they were right . This place is 🔥🔥. If you indulge in sweets and pastries this your place . Sugar heaven . lol . Not only are the drops and donuts affordable there portions are big. They also have glazed beignets , they didn’t survive once I got them 😂. Forget cafe du monde no disrespect , these are the truth . They do serve breakfast but I didn’t get the breakfast but just imagine having a home cook meal and a bakery at the same location . The people working there were polite and wonderful . Go support them trust me they are worth it . So price wise I got 12 different things from drops , a donut , a cinnamon roll and beignets for 15 dollars total . Their menu is extensive and varies but you won’t spend as much as you think . Keep that in mind .
