Who Dat Coffee Cafe

I’m so glad I discovered Who Dat Café! It’s become my favorite Marigny coffeehouse! Nearly all of the wide assortment of baked items are made in-​house. Everything I’ve tried is so delicious! The outside seating is on a comfortable corner and the inside seating is especially cozy. To top it off, they have a full assortment of liquor so you can turn your coffee, tea, juice or soda into a cocktail!

Good breakfast; good flavorful food! Nice vibe. Friendly service

OH EM GEE. The corn cakes are amazing!!!

Although the service is good, and the staff is kind, the food is slightly less than mediocre. The soup is super salty, the water smells and tastes terrible, and all the sandwiches I have had needed something to add flavor or spice. Also, although every time I have been here, it has been for a sitdown meal, I have always been given a to-​go coffee cup. While I appreciate the eco-​friendly to-​go cups, a real ceramic cup would be more environmentally friendly, and nicer to drink from. Servers should at least ask. I wish I could write a better review because the location and staff are great.

They had us pay $ 15 (without tip) for 2 coffees and 1 piece of banana bread this morning. Seriously?

This is one of my absoulute favorite spots in the entire city of New Orleans! The coffee is great! The atmosphere is pleasing and the neighborhood historic and beautiful. The food is fresh and cooked to order. All staff super friendly and baristas are amazing. Go here and you won’t regret.

Cool New Orleans coffee shop. They have fresh baked pastries and homemade jellies and a full breakfast and lunch menu. Great atmosphere, better food.

Very cute coffee shop with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating under a patio. Service was quick and friendly and coffee was tasty and strong. The food was pretty good– standard diner breakfast food. This is a wonderful place to spend a few hours reading, writing, or doing work, as it is quiet with lots of natural light.

Great coffee place with plenty of outdoor seating and a lot of space indoors (and somewhat secluded).
Never been here before so I asked if it’s okay to work — and I got the best response ever:“absolutely, it’s even encouraged!“
I’m already in love with this place.
The guy behind the counter also offered the wifi password without me even asking. I know, #firstworldproblems, but if you’re constantly looking for a cool place to work at this is what makes the difference.
The coffee is pretty good, and there’s free refills.
I ordered the early bird special for breakfast ($ 6 before 10am, $ 8 after 10am): 2 eggs any style choice of bacon or sausage, choice of bread and choice of jam. I did order eggs with sausage and peach jam, but ended up with bacon and strawberry jam. I’m not too mad, since both bacon and the jam were delicious. Oh and the biscuit: super fluffy! My absolute favorite.

Love this little place! The guys who work the counter are always super sweet and welcoming when you come in. The baked cookies are always great and always a wide variety to choose from.
I’ve had the grab and go chicken salad sandwich and it was wonderful.
I also love to bring my grand baby in the evening for a chocolate chip cookie and chocolate milk. Perfect place to sit outside and enjoy the evening.
They even offer alcoholic coffees. Can’t beat that!

Everything here, from the friendly staff to the stellar food and drink offerings is all top notch. There’s certainly a reason we make this our daily stop on every visit to New Orleans.

This café is amazing! The service was awesome and the food was fantastic. I visited with friends for only 2 days and we ate here twice because we had such a great experience the first time.
Colin was our server and he was so great. Always helpful and accommodating. The first visit I ate the Cajun scramble. It was super flavorful and a huge portion of food. The second time we ate there I had the strawberry croissant frenchtoast. The strawberry sauce over it was so good!
The atmosphere is happy and all the staff are super friendly. It was a busy Easter Sunday when we went and didn’t have a reservation but the owner made room for us really quickly. I definitely recommend coming here!

Absolutely love this café! Tucked away just beyond the craziness that is the French Quarter lies a little gem of a café. I visited here New Year’s day, and it was a great start to a new year!
I wanted to sit inside and eat because it was chilly out, but they do have a nice amount of outdoor seating available. While I was waiting I had the barista explain to me the different coffee drinks because I’m not a big coffee drinker and didn’t know the difference of some of the fancier drinks. I ended up ordering a latte and it was so good I wished I had ordered a larger size. I drank my coffee while I waited for a table to come available, and soon enough it was ready. I’d been looking forward to my lunch here because a friend of mine recommended the food here. I ate the Not Ya Mama’s corn cakes minus the bacon. I can attest, it’s life changing! Order it! This dish is two cornbread pancakes with melted cheddar cheese in the middle and covered in some sort of cheese sauce. You basically can’t go wrong ordering this.
I definitely can’t wait to go back to get some more of the fabulous coffee and to try more of the food. Everything I saw while I was there looks delicious. I’ve also been recommending this café to anyone within earshot who will listen to me. Maybe I should stop doing that because then all the tables will be full when I want to go back for more! I’ll also say that the service is excellent. Everyone I encountered was in a good mood and helpful in every way. I LOVE Who Dat Coffee Café and I can’t wait to go back for more!

Sometimes when I need to study, I will go out of my way and drive from Ponchatoula to go here. Super friendly atmosphere, Bohemian enough to be perfect for the city, and amazing food and beverages.
Huge advantages: cold drip iced coffee, great location with good parking, endless array of pastries, excellently prepared savoury dishes. A great spot for people and dog watching.
When it comes to dining, I really only have one thing to say: corn cakes! Make sure you go hungry. They are… I can’t even describe how incredible they are.
Seriously, the corn cakes are out of this world.
The people that work there are pleasant, genuine, very personable, professional, but with just the perfect amount of laissez-​faire.
Another bonus: good Wi-​Fi.
You should go.

I just had the catfish special for lunch. The catfish was sublime as always.
Homemade blue cheese dressing on the salad was superb. And the homemade tartar sauce for the catfish special was super also. I call the salad a VIP salad, as it’s made for a king :-) Delightful lunch.

BLUF: Big fan of this place for all possible reasons. Exciting menu with great standard breakfast dishes; great staff; great location.
Went here alone to cry. Just kidding, I went to eat after a 5k race. You can go inside and order a coffee and pastries at the coffee bar or go sit down and have a sit down breakfast.
I sat down outside because I love the bywater neighborhood. Fun people watching. Server was very nice, helpful and attentive. I thought I was going to be getting a crab cake/​egg hollandaise meal but they had a chicken fried steak special that I will never be able to pass up. It was great. It was a big portion with a lot of gravy. Gravy was perfectly seasoned and a good for putting all over their breakfast potatoes. Great combination. I wish I had ordered a biscuit too but it would have been too much food. It was really good.
Server kept my coffee full so it really was the perfect morning. I would go back and feel comfortable trying anything on the menu.

I’m a huge sucker for brunch, but I’ve never given a brunch place 5 stars before. This is a big deal for me– this place is PHENOMENAL.
The AirBnB we stayed out during our recent trip to New Orleans happened to be right across the street from Who Dat, and boy were we lucky to be so close. We went in for brunch close to 2pm the day after a very late night (as one tends to have in NOLA) and loved the quirky, casual ambience of the place. The servers were very friendly and cheerful, and gladly answered all of our questions.
I ordered the Bywater Bené with a fried green tomato (extra $ 2 but you won’t regret it!!!) and it was THE. MOST. AMAZING. EGGS. BENEDICT. EVER. The eggs were perfectly poached, the ciabatta was perfectly toasted, and the hollandaise– I don’t know what they put in there, but the hollandaise has an amazing kick to it. Lots of fresh fruits on the side (to make us feel a bit less guilty about all the other things we would later consume in NOLA, I suppose) and a large, very filling portion size.
I don’t often return to the same restaurant twice while traveling because I want to explore new places… But it’s very telling that I came back to Who Dat the following day for brunch again and ordered the same dish again. Yeah, it was that good. The coffee cocktails are also excellent here and worth checking out. We happened to be conveniently located, but in the future I would trek across the entire city for that hollandaise again. Can’t wait to come back to NOLA just for this place!

Nothing to complain about here! The inside is pretty cool with a lot of unique finds and arts throughout the café. Instead of coffee today, I was in the mood for some hot tea. They have a wide selection of different loose tea to choose from. Which I will be back to try out others. Today I had the Sencha and it was just what I needed. Thanks to our server’s recommendation.
Great service and employees there! Food came out in a reasonable amount of time! We order the not yo mama’s corn cake and that was one of a kind! It’s definitely filling and can feed 2 – 3 people. I’ll be back for more for sure! The Cajun scramble was delicious also. We were thankful for a nice sunny and a little breezy morning. They have great coverage where you can enjoy eating outside in the shade. Perfect size area. Dogs are allow.

Really good breakfast. We didn’t get to try the quiche bc it was sold out. According to our waiter, this is usually the first thing they run out of, so I would suggest getting there earlier in the day if you wanted to try this. Otherwise, everything was tasty. It’s a quaint, cute little restaurant.

I enjoyed the breakfast here. We were unable the sample the quiche as they had run out by the time we ordered. Changed my order and still enjoyed the food. Helpful wait staff and large portions.
