Nostalgia NOLA
125 Camp St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Nostalgia NOLA is a velvet-roped trip back in time where you can sip carefully crafted coffee drinks while playing vintage arcade games and board games under softly dimmed lights and old-school televisions. The beignets and full breakfast menu arrive hot and thoughtfully seasoned, making it the kind of place where you'll lose track of time whether you're meeting friends for an afternoon or settling in for a slow, nostalgic evening on Canal Street.”

I can't say enough good things about this cafe! We had the best time! We played all the old school game machines, and they had board games we had a great time waiting on our food! And their beignets were great! They guy was so nice and brought them since we were waiting a while, we didn't even notice bc we were having such a good time having fun!! If you have a kid or are a fun living adult this is a must stop breakfast joint in nola!! Will visit here everytime now, it's a hidden city gem!
Cute little spot right next to the Sheraton off of Canal. Went on a Friday night. Nice vibes with the lights dimmed, the music playing not too loud and the vintage VHS playing on the old school oversized TV. There is an area where you can play console games on the TV. There are some vintage arcade games and some card & board games as well. Now let’s talk about food. I am a food lover but what’s more important is customer service. If you have an amazing product or great food but bad service that’s a zero out of five for me but this place…customer service was great. One couple in front of us was ordering when we entered and he (the staff) was patient while we looked over the menu then answered all of our questions respectfully. The food was amazing too. I mean soooo good. We will definitely visit this place again next time we are in town.
Kinda gross. We just wanted to order coffee but they told us to sit at a table. They then ignored us for an hour. Eventually they took our order and the overpriced meal arrived by a high waiter. The coffee was watery. The food was bland. There are better places. Only upside is the arcade machines are free.
We waited all for the food to come out but the wait was definitely worth it. The food was hot and fresh and seasoned well. Hopefully when I come the next time they won’t be out of the red beans and rice. Try the Lavender Vanilla Lemonade, it is very delicious and refreshing.
Amazing vibes, great drinks and okay beignets. Come here to play arcade games and get some drinks with your friends and it will be one hell of a night. I got a caramel bourbon drink that was basically a spiked caramel ice coffee, a flavor combo you can’t miss with. The beignets were okay. There was too much powdered sugar and the dough wasn’t strong enough to stand up to it so they were just kinda mushy. The service was great and the arcade games are free, which are the cherry on top. Come for the drinks and stay for the games.
