Aquila Bistro & Cafe
2042 Prytania St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Aquila Bistro & Cafe is a charming neighborhood spot where the real stars are the exceptional pastries—like their standout cinnamon rolls and perfectly balanced lemon cookies—and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it ideal for lingering over breakfast or settling in with your laptop. While coffee quality seems inconsistent, the full breakfast menu and fresh juices more than compensate, and the attentive service ensures you'll be taken care of whether you're fueling a work session or meeting a friend.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Excellent neighborhood bistro. We’ve been working through their menu over the past few weeks and everything has been excellent. This morning I had the wonderful San Giovanni Breakfast Sandwich (egg, smoked Turkey, grilled halloumi, beet dip with mixed greens) and my partner had…
