Bearcat Cafe

Excellent breakfast/brunch spot in uptown NoLA that you don't want to miss! The brunch scene does get pretty busy and we had about an hour wait, but it's worth every minute. Just make sure to get there early to put your name on the list if you're hungry! We ordered a Bloody Mary and iced Irish coffee to start- both were stellar. All of their breakfast cocktails looked amazing. For brunch, I ordered the BLT and my husband ordered the cat daddy biscuit. The BLT really hit the spot and the bread was super tasty. The cat daddy biscuit is definitely a heavy hitter, but so full of flavor! Highly recommend both. The crispy breakfast potatoes also can go up next to the best of them. The inside is on the more intimate side but they also have great service and an open kitchen, which I enjoy. Also heads up, they don't do to-go orders on weekends (we overheard several very sad customers). Make sure this place is on your brunch list when coming to New Orleans!

Best potatoes ever! I ordered the breakfast and was very satisfied:)Line is long but every minute is Worth the way!!!

The waiter was attentive and accommodating to my food being served cold. Gratuity included in check, so be aware of that, very convenient location.

I visited a few months ago and didn't take many pictures because I was enjoying time with family I hadn't seen in a while. However, I felt it was important to come back and leave a review. I think about their food constantly, and I'm counting down the days until my next trip to NOLA just so I can have breakfast here again. The flavors are bold and delicious, and their seafood is perfectly cooked--not chewy or overdone. I also loved their variety of fresh juices and beverage options. The servers were very helpful and patient with our larger group, which included a few young kids. The space is small, so I wouldn't recommend it for parties larger than four. We had eight people, and the wait was a bit long, plus the table felt a little cramped. Nevertheless, I would definitely come back! Try it; you won't regret it!

Food was really good. Had the brisket hash, added sliced avocados. I tried the pineapple mimosa. The service was pretty quick, however, did feel towards the end they were trying to rush us out.

Food was great and the waitress was super friendly. Ordered the crab scramble which was amazing. I've never had that combo ever and was a little nervous but I would recommend trying it. The chai was also tasty. Went on a Sunday afternoon, we waited about an hour and a half. Sucks that you're not able to get on the waitlist list before since we drove out from the business district.

Cozy neighborhood feel. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Fabulous menu with many standard and vegetarian options. Loved our cappuccino. The potatoes are amazing, crisp and salty. The Bearcat breakfast with blueberry pancakes definitely hit the spot. The Breakfast Club with chicken was also extremely satiating ; served on house made sourdough. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.

It became clear very quickly that this is one of the hottest breakfast spots in NOLA. There were TONS of people waiting but it didn't take us terribly long to get seated. The service was great despite how busy it was, which is a plus. They have several vegan options and almost all were great. My favorite was the vegan breakfast sandwich and the pancake. The vegan burger is also tasty. The only one I didn't love was the cauliflower hash.

Delicious food and quick service in a cute modern cafe. 30-45 min wait on a weekend. Breakfast potatoes were super crispy- highly recommend. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, you can't go wrong with any of their brunch items- especially the lobster dishes. Butterfly blue latte was great, beautiful and not too sweet. Well priced, too.

Amazing service and food! Potatoes are always 10/10!! Hot Rob is phenomenal as well:)
