What people say

"Willa Jean’s is a contemporary bakery and restaurant that serves Southern cuisine with a modern and elegant touch. Located in the Central Business District in downtown New Orleans, Willa Jean’s is open daily from 7 am to 3 pm. Whether you are looking for a quick coffee and pastry to go, or a relaxed meal with friends and family, Willa Jean’s has something for everyone. The menu features a variety of snacks, breakfast plates, sweet treats, and sandwiches, all made with fresh and local ingredients. Some of the popular dishes include the biscuit situation, the WJ shrimp and grits, the southern coconut cake, and the banana puddin’ cup. My personal favorite is the hangover bowl, which consists of short rib, cheesy grits, onion, garlic, potatoes, and egg. It is hearty, savory, and satisfying. If you are looking for a place to enjoy the best brunch in New Orleans, you should definitely check out Willa Jean’s. You won’t regret it!"
