Tartine

We stumbled upon Tartine near Audubon Park/Tulane while driving around looking for something new to try for lunch. It's a casual neighborhood cafe with a relatively small interior, maybe 6-8 tables plus another half dozen outside if the weather is agreeable. You order at the counter, serve your own coffees and sodas, and then take a seat until your food is walked out to you. Service was friendly at the counter. They were helpful with questions/requests, and brought our food out to us as fast as it was made. Food wise, they offer tartines (open faced savory sandwiches), other sandwiches, salads, pastries, as well as a few one off breakfast options. The portions overall are generous, the croissants and other breads were fresh baked, and other ingredients seemed fresh/local or at least plated with care. My wife ordered the quiche wedge and it was a BIG slice, and tasty. I ordered the lox and bagels, and again huge portion of salmon and all the fixings you'd expect. Great meal at a hidden neighborhood gem. If we're around Audubon Park and craving breakfast, brunch, or lunch, Tartine is definitely on the list of solid options.

Small friendly cafe where you order at counter and they bring to table. Self serve coffee and tea. Tasty iced tea with fresh lemons. Nice selection of sandwiches, salads and tartines. Indoor and outdoor seating. Salad Nicoise was generous with fresh greens, olives, roasted red peppers, boiled egg, palm hearts. The tuna was canned tuna slightly sweet. Perhaps used sweet pickle juice. It would have been MUCH better if an actual piece of fresh tuna. Realize this would make it more expensive but it makes a big difference. Steak sandwich also generous. Served on a warm crusty ciabatta bun. Spicy sauce. Plenty of meat. A side of bean salad. I heard their king cakes are good here but didn't sample.

Food was delicious. Portion sizes were pretty small, and staff wasn't the most enthusiastic nor helpful. However, great salmon spread, cinnamon roll, and scrambled eggs. Might leave you hungry walking out, but still good. Would return.

Tartine has delicious pastries. The croissant had lots of layers and was good. It is a little pricey. It is nice though.

Basic lunch spot in a no frills casual picnic table atmosphere. Food was fine. Service friendly. Good in a pinch. Not a destination.

I go for breakfast with friends. I eat my feelings there. I ordered a bunch of things to try, now I only order one thing, over and over again. I feel happy, I order it, then I'm happier. I feel sad, I feel happier and not guilty. The Queen of the menu for me is the Baked Eggs in Brioche. The perfect amount of butter, cream with eggs within house baked brioche. Oh thank you to all and any god of present or past times. This is the nicest coziest breakfast that just makes you feel like you've been whisked off to a Parisian Cafe. It comes with a little cup of season fruits and paired with a cup of coffee it is the perfect breakfast in my humble opinion. However, their quiche wedges are a solid second for me too. Everything is delicious and having tried a sampling of their dessert and pastry platters, I can say, lots of love is put into every bite at Tartine

Wonderful for breakfast, brunch and lunch. One of the best neighborhood places in the city. Key Recommendations?Breakfast--go with the fresh bagels and croissants. And coffee, top of the line lattes. Brunch: stuffed sausage brioche and two eggs--enough to share, if you are feeling generousLunch: big fresh salads--great presentation even better taste.This coffee shop plus has much more, but start with those three and there's no missteps. Inside seating and patio seating--comfy. You order at the counter and everything is delivered to you.Only negative--street parking only but hey it's a neighborhood place. Relish it!

Alright to good sandwiches, salads and breakfast type items like bagels, scones, brioche and quiche. The coffee, tea and other drinks are now self-serve and on my last visit they seemed to be out of fresh coffee and had older lukewarm coffee that tasted watered down and blah. They used to serve great fresh coffee in a French press brought to your table but now the coffee is stored in a thermos you pump it out of. The ambiance of the inside just isn't inspiring to me while the outside patio is better in nicer weather. The location looks like somebody decided to open a restaurant next to their office and the parking is less than fun to deal with in the area. Most things here are probably around a three or four star when they are done properly but having bad coffee is just not an option in a joint like this. Seems like the quality has gone down here and gotten inconsistent. Granted I'm not much of a breakfast person so this is just not my favorite spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch but many folks love it. The baked eggs in brioche are one of the standout items here that you don't find in most other places in the area so you might enjoy sampling that. Overall they do offer some items that not many other places do while I'm sad the quality seems to have dropped off over the years. My video review of Tartine is here:https://youtu.be/DoevsLPTZ-4

Salad nicoise - fanciest tuna I've had in a while --- yum! Met a friend for Friday lunch . Picnic tables outside and bistro tables inside. They had decorated king cakes with Christmas colors and huge boxes with fixings for gingerbread houses. Tiny place with excellent food !
