Cafe Malou, Uptown New Orleans, inside Octavia Books

This is a very stylish, chick-ish breakfast and lunch spot (really more breakfast) that opened up Uptown connected to the Ocavia Book Store

Its really nice looking inside and VERY popular, there was a wait.

My coffee was fine but nothing special, my wife got a flavored latte that she really liked.

I thought the food was actually pretty damn good, and a lot of other's people's food that came out looked great.

I got the Croque (their's had proscuitto and they did raclette cheese) and a side of the cheese grits. I thought it was very good. They are well known for the baked egg dishes and I would get that next time.

My wife got the open faced crab bake that she liked but didn't love. It looked really nice but she thought there was too much pimento. She got a side of patatas bravas she really liked.

I'd go back. I did think it was kinda pricey for breakfast food, and just wouldn't get the side as it comes with chips or a salad anyway.

It was extremely high quality though, just know going in its not at all going to be diner prices or food.

Definitely more geared towards girls/women.
