Read moreWe visited High Volt Coffee on the way to a tour of the Garden District. It’s a great spot with lots of options of people with all kinds of dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free etc.)
I love a good quiche and unfortunately when we arrived, although there were plenty of quiche options, none of them were vegetarian. I opted for the veggie frittata served with kefir yogurt. This looked really cool in the display case of the items made today, kind of a mini crustless quiche. (see I was in a quiche mood…) It was okay but not amazing.
I also had a peach ginger muffin which was super dense, without a lot of peach in it, and no discernible ginger taste. In retrospect I should have gone with the “morning glory”…everything in their display case looked amazing.
My wife had the Ozzy which is two poached eggs on sautéed greens, avocado, grape tomato and quinoa, also with the kefir dressing. She loved this meal.
She also treated herself to a vegan raw brownie…a very sweet and awesome, date-sweetened and super rich. (in a delicious manner). She couldn’t finish it but was happy to carry it around the rest of the day and finish it in a glorious second round.
There are plenty of vegan and gluten free choices.
Also lots of coffee choices too. You have to love when a breakfast-centric place takes its coffee seriously. I got the American Rosales Pour-over. It was surprisingly smooth and bold.
Although I would have loved a vegetarian quiche choice, I’d definitely go back, when in New Orleans, to have more coffee and sample more from their drool-inducing same day baked...
Read moreIf you’re trying to go to a coffee shop and get some work done, DO NOT come here. Me and my husband had a bad experience. On the front door it said no wifi available, which was annoying but I figured it was fine since I could use my hotspot. I ordered a coffee and two breakfast sandwiches which came out to $25(!!!!!) I sat down and all of the outlets were covered up with duck-tape that said do not remove. My husband inquired about why we couldn’t plug in and they said the owner doesn’t allow for customers to use the outlets. What…?
The employee behind the counter, idk if she was the owner, was SO RUDE to another customer who was having the same problem we were having. This employee told the customer that a coffee shop isn’t a work place and that they had a sign on the door that they don’t have wifi. The customer explained that the sign on the door said no wifi, not that you can’t use the outlets. I was honestly flabbergasted at how rude this employee was to this customer. She reiterated over and over that this is a business not a workplace and that we could go somewhere else.
We were treated so poorly for wanting to use our computers in a coffee shop! This is not a new concept, especially for how many people are working remotely now! You would think with how expensive it is to purchase an item here that this coffee shop would allow customers to use their outlets…Anyways, we joined the other customer in leaving and will...
