Between the Bread

Great place for lunch! The club sandwich and hot pastrami are really good. Some people at the next table had salads that were ginormous and looked really fresh. The gentleman at the hotel’s front desk recommended going here and we’re so glad he did!

I didn’t like my chicken sandwich too much, and the chips were pretty hard and not too flavorful. My gf loved her salad though. They had a lot of salad combos to choose from. And there is a coffee shop in there as well.
As for me, I’ll let her keep this place as one of her go to spots. I liked the indoor balcony seating too.

I used to go here all the time back when I was working at the Poydras Center. Best sandwiches in NOLA if you ask me. Everything is always fresh and delicious and the hot pressed sandwiches are definitely worth the wait. I would suggest ordering take-​out though because their aren’t a lot of places to sit down and eat. The best thing there is the open-​face salmon, your typical bagel and loc sandwich, but done so well and prepared right in front of you!~

Let me start by saying the staff is amazing. Always very friendly even when they’re packed!
I work in the area, and I usually pick up Between the Bread once per week since it’s close and easy. If you’re in a rush, definitely suggest calling ahead as the line and wait can get pretty long during peak lunch hours.
They’re set menu is just okay to me, but the daily specials are where it’s at. A little bit pricey for what it is, but the sandwich specials does come with a side. Not a bad place to stop and grab a bite if you’re in the area and looking for somewhere casual.
Pros:
— Friendly staff
— Daily specials
— Outdoor seating
— Upstairs «loungey» area
Cons:
— Close at 3 PM
— Can be a little pricey for what you’re getting

Ordered the breakfast sandwich and the eggs were cold. Sandwich was decent otherwise.

Great coffee, delicious pastrami sandwich, crispy kettle chips, fast & friendly service, and reasonable prices — all of that with nice walking accessibility to the business district *and* a park across the street.

Located in the CBD, near the courthouse and federal building, not only is this place way overpriced but way over-​hyped in these reviews. The food is average at best. I guess people enjoy $ 9.00 sandwiches with chips, $ 1.25 can of soda, and also enjoy waiting 13 – 20 minutes (or more) for their food. Bad air conditioning plus lots of sitting customers equals lousy ventilation… you will sweat waiting for food. The first time I ate there, I waited 16 minutes for a sandwich and chips; the second time I decided to leave after 26 minutes. Imagine sitting there watching people order after you did and pick up food before you! Twenty-​six minutes! For a sandwich?
The person behind the counter comes over to me and says, «You have been waiting here a long time.» Really, Captain Obvious? Then after asking my name, she could not find my order ticket. One of the stellar sandwich makers decided they were going to bury it on the counter. Maybe they did not like my long hair, I don’t know.
After 26 minutes, I decided I had lost my appetite, and told them I did not want the meal. It would be easy to dispute the credit card charge because I never received the food. After I left, the owners decided to cover their butts by having my co-​worker to take my order (she was there getting food also); so now I can not dispute the credit card charge. With four or five sandwich makers behind the counter things like this should never happen.
This place is typical of New Orleans CBD: Over-​priced and mediocre tasting food. They jack up the prices because they know people will come and pay whatever price they decide «the market» dictates.
First visit, 16 minutes… second visit, 26 minutes… covering your butt to keep your $ 12.00…shame on y’all. Never again.

I work right next door so I hit up BTB a lot. The sandwiches and salads are always a nice, light lunch option, albeit a wee bit expensive! I usually opt for the daily specials because they always sound slightly more enticing than the normal menu. The other day I got a cold cucumber soup that really hit the spot — the cold temperature mixed with the spicy flavor was an amazing combination and I hope they feature it as a special again soon. I also love their sides — the side salad is huge, the fruit cup is delish, and the olive pasta salad is a great sandwich complement.
The service is also great — the lady who gives you your food when it’s ready is a fucking delight. Sometimes she calls me «pumpkin» and it automatically puts me in a better mood. Give that woman a raise.

The food is great, but the manager is complete A-​hole. He’s usually wears a plaid shirt, glasses, and takes your order. He treats his employees like absolute crap, and has no customer service/​relationship skills.

A great choice for lunch delivery. They were very accommodating and arrived within 30 minutes. The portions were filling add the food was fresh. I’d give them the full 5 stars if only they had put our salads in nicer delivery container s (rather than boxes that were meant for leftovers). I’m sure the dine-​in experience would have been 5 stars.

I really enjoyed my salad from here! I ordered the smoked salmon salad, which comes with tomatoes, cucumbers, a boiled egg and capers, and added marinated artichoke and avocado. It was a large portion for $ 12.75, and they delivered it to us at the Convention center.
It was pretty fast, considering it was delivery, and we got our food about 30 – 45 min after we ordered it.
Not much else to say, my friend got a grilled chicken sandwich which she really enjoyed, and our other co-​worker ordered the chicken salad sandwich.
Overall, good value and food, I would definitely try this place again.

I came here on my way to a business meeting when I stayed at the Lafayette Hotel. We were walking down Poydras so I needed something that I could eat and walk at the same time without tripping on the uneven sidewalks that we know and love. I’m not a huge granola eater, but when the staff told me it was homemade and one of their favorites on the menu, I decided to go with the parfait with fresh fruit and granola. OH MY STARS, BATMAN. The crunch on this stuff was fantastic, full of honey and delicious oats without being sickeningly sweet. The yogurt and fresh fruit was a tremendous addition to the mix, and I didn’t fall on my face on the way to the meeting!
PS the staff could not have been nicer, we commiserated about the Jimmy Graham trade (which had happened the night before) and of course, they pointed me in the direction of this fabulous granola so I’ve got nothing but love for them.
GO HERE. Breakfast AND lunch.

Placed an order for delivery, since my blistered feet were not thrilled with the prospect of walking. $ 20 dollar minimum for delivery, I was told.
Got a Reuben with extra 1000 island dressing, substituted pasta salad instead of chips. The Reuben was salty, toasted, and delicious. The pasta salad was ok, if a little bland in comparison. Rotini pasta with bits of carrots, olives, celery. Probably could have used a bit of oil and vinegar for added zip and moisture.
Bowl of Cajun Stew was nice; tomato based, chunks of chicken, sausage, and potatoes with rice. A spicy heat sneaks up on you, but isn’t overpowering. More soup than stew.
Also got a side of egg salad with crackers. Decent size scoop, will make for a light dinner later. From the little bit I tasted, it could probably use some salt. It did come with salted crackers, so I’m sure it’ll fine.
Also got cookies — chocolate chip & oatmeal raisin. They’re large, soft, smell fabulous, not overly sweet but definitely tasty.
Their delivery time estimate was perfect. Would order from them again, if in the area.

Stopped in here for a quick coffee before heading to Gallier Hall for an event. Kind of an odd set up with food on the left as you enter and coffee on your right. I guess if things get really busy, it can streamline the coffee sales?
The café itself is quite nice, lots of seating, nicely decorated. The coffee was very tasty, although they seemed to be out of a lot of things (medium roast, skim milk). The price was about what you would expect for the CBD.
I wasn’t in there long enough to find out about wi-​fi, but they have an upstairs area that looks suitable for breakfast meetings and laptop sitting.

The best tuna salad I’ve ever eaten. Its NOT from a can. Where else can you get tuna salad not from a can?
Prices are a bit high but quality is great.
I’d recommend it.

After eating and drinking for a couple of days in Nola, my body was aching for some vegetables. This place fit the bill. Had a roasted asparagus salad and roasted red pepper soup combo. My salad had a few wilted lettuce pieces, but otherwise it was delish. Goat cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes and a boiled eggs on a bed of roasted asparagus and greens made for a tasty combination. Would go back for sure!

Staying across the street at the Hotel Lafayette for a work trip for my husband. I visited BTB twice during our stay — once during breakfast and once during lunch. For breakfast I picked up a cranberry muffin and a canned soda. Don’t remember how much I paid but it was a bit pricey but a good, fresh muffin. Plus it’s a local shop and they are going to have a different selection than a chain place. For lunch I stopped by to pick up a sandwich and chips. According to their online menu the plain ol’ turkey sandwich with chips is $ 6.00. Somehow after it was all said and done I paid over $ 10 for the sandwich, chips, a pickle spear, and a can of soda. Now, again, local place, etc. etc. And it was a substantial sandwich. Was my meal worth over $ 10? I don’t think so.
Would I eat there again? Probably for breakfast or for a coffee but I would definitely try another of the local spots for lunch.
This is definitely a cool place. Two stories with the top floor a loft style situation. It was very clean and… minimalist. That’s how I’d describe it.

What a great place for a casual breakfast! Open face salmon sandwich and breakfast sandwich were great, and generous portions. Note the hours, tho. Closed weekends and stops breakfast at 1030.

I badly wanted a pick me up after walking all over downtown. So an Iced coffee with pumpkin syrup did the trick!
The service was friendly and the full menu looked pretty good. But pumpkin syrup?! I’d hope they’d have this year round, because I want my fall flavors on demand, and in my coffee stat! Yay for this and friendly service!

This review is strictly based on delivery only. I have not made it into the actual restaurant.
We order take out from here every so often and we enjoy it quite a bit. The portions are good sized and the quality is great.
My coworkers and I typically like to order the sandwich and soup combos. My favorite is their pimento cheese on sourdough. They have a very tasty chicken and dumpling soup, too. Pretty much everything I have tried from here has been great.
They do free delivery within the CBD, but you need to have a minimum order of $ 15.00
