Nostalgia NOLA

They make the best specialty tea in the FQ! Their chocolate-covered strawberry flavored tea is by far the most delicious tea around. Order the grits if you go, because theirs are the creamiest and best tasting!

This is a very cool and hip coffee shop at Barb. They have video games, and old time favorite games and relics around the entire small place. The avocado toast with egg was okay, nothing to write home about. Avocado toast felt like a day old. It seemed like people were really enjoying the shrimp and grits and the service was good.

The service was okay- possibly due to short staffed, I could tell the barista was overwhelmed. She had to do several things at once. I could tell she did her best.The ambience was fun, several video arcade game to play, fun concept. Our kids loved itThe food was subpar- they didn't have many of the items on the menu... they serve the menu the whole day- the beignets, fries, and catfish were soggy. The gumbo was watery. The Cortado was good.I do not recommend coming for the food... come for the drinks and the Arcadia games!

I stopped by in October for a quick coffee and breakfast. The place is a little janky but I like all the nostalgia games and decor. We got coffee, mini beignets ($5), and banana foster ($13) and they were all solid. The place was packed with lots of people waiting around, but it didn't take too long to get our order (whereas some people that ordered alcoholic drinks had a huge wait for some reason). The beignets were small but nice, light, and crispy with good powdered sugar. The banana foster was a huge portion and also very tasty.

This place was such a fun stop! We actually went to brunch next door and made it a point to stop in this place the next day. Aside from all the tea and coffee selections they do have alcoholic drinks. Also some beignets! We ordered some drinks and had a seat. Then we went to go get change to play some games and quickly realized they're all free after purchasing something! What a great concept! The workers were super friendly and we probably ended up staying and hour and playing some fun games. This cafe is definitely worth the stop - if not for the games then just for the 90's themed EVERYTHING! It's such a cool and safe space. Wish I had a place like this closer to home!

The staff was nice and the vibe was cool. However! The service was incredibly slow. We waited over 10 minutes for 2 coffee drinks that were expensive! Also, we were the only people in the place. It's nice to play PacMan again, but only if the drinks came faster.

Kayden was great and very hospitable! I'll definitely return it's a 90's dream and the decor is on point! The espresso martini was 10/10!

Really poor customer service and the baristas didn't seem like they wanted to be there or interact with customers. It was our first time there and was not an enjoyable experience, unfortunately won't be returning because the drink was nasty too.

If you are not a local and have some down time Nostalgia is a great place to kick it. They have some really nostalgic items like vintage arcade games, VHS tapes and decor that will trigger 80s babies feels and they have music to go along with it which is cool. Barista was cool and helpful and the drink was "meh" we ordered a chai tea and it was pre made. We were expecting something made on the spot. So maybe stick to coffee if you want something made there. The main reason to come here would be to play some arcade games listen to the music and just go down memory lane.They had the classic Ninja Turtles, NFL blitz, NBA 2k, PacMan just to name a few.Just buy an item to get access to the games and enjoy your time there.

Cute retro coffee shop. There's video gaming if you want to check it out. I came in for my morning coffee and they have over 30 different flavors. They brewed a fresh coffee for my friend and me. The service was so impeccable. They were funny and sweet. I got the lavender honey latte and it was so good! I would come back for another flavor. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this location!
