Recommend Satsuma flavor; or if they have it on special, the bananas foster. Overwhelmed by options, ask Ashley or any of the other smiling faces behind the counter what they recommend today.

Fantastic breakfast & Brunch. Insider brunch tip: swing by Le Bon Temps bar next door on your way for brunch and pick up a mimosa or Bloody Mary to carry with you over to Surrey. Surrey doesn't serve alcohol, but they will allow you to bring beverages from Le Bon Temps. Also, to avoid a wait, go early.

Great breakfast, lunch & dinner spot. Weekend brunch is fantastic. Get a feel for New Orleans cooking and a neighborhood restaurant. The owners are fantastic and big community supporters throughout the city. Also, if you want to appreciate how high the water was in Mid-City during Katrina, check out the plaque next to the front door marking the water level.

New Orleans best burgers. Also steak & loaded baked potatoes. A bit of a dive, this little gem has been a staple of the New Orleans burger scene for 50+ years. Go early or on off hours/days if you can swing it - it's often busy.

Iconic New Orleans spot for beignets. Dine in and get full service or take out from the window around the back. Also recommend their cafe au lait to drink. If it's busy, try Cafe Beignet on Royal St or on Bourbon St (in Musical Legends Park) - beignets are as good ( or nearly as good) and the wait is a fraction of Cafe du Monde during peak times.

Unknown to most, this spot just around the corner from us houses the Mardi Gras floats from the oldest Krewes and amazing artists responsible for Mardi Gras magic. On a nice day you can find their warehouse doors open and see them working on the floats for the upcoming Mardi Gras. This is a great place to stop after grabbing a snoball from Hansen's.
