Jeri Nims Soda Shop
945 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside a New Orleans museum, this vintage-inspired soda shop captures nostalgic Americana with its retro decor and counter-service charm, though don't expect a full menu—it's more grab-and-go convenience than destination dining. The gumbo and hot items earn genuine praise for quality, and the homemade pastries and desserts are genuinely delicious, though prices lean toward the touristy side for what's essentially a café with limited options. It's the kind of place where the atmosphere and location matter as much as the food, perfect if you're exploring the museum and want a quick bite with character rather than culinary ambition.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Like others have said, the price is kind of high for counter service, but the food quality was great! We got a beef patty melt and the gumbo. Super friendly service, short wait time, and charming atmosphere. We didn’t get to try any desserts but they had a display of several…
Small cafe in the WWII offer grab and go and also a few hot items. Delicious desserts served here as well. Felt it was overpriced, but I mean touristy city and in a highly trafficked museum
Wow, people are rating this place like a real restaurant... I don't know, but compared to themed restaurants inside themed parks, this place really wasn't that bad. I was really digging the decor and the staff was quite friendly. I came here for a quick refuel (of soda... it's…
