Louise, a cafe that served breakfast and lunch in the CBD for three years, will reopen in the former location of the New Orleans Cake Cafe at 2440 Chartres St. in Marigny in October, say owners Britten and David Carboni.
The cafe will serve house-baked goods including pies, cakes, muffins, quiches and scones, as well as bagels from Maple Street Patisserie. The preliminary breakfast menu has breakfast sandwiches, shrimp and grits, a vegan rice bowl, a selection of toasts with toppings such as avocado and whipped ricotta, and more. the lunch menu features many salads, a rice bowl, a cheeseburger and an array of deli sandwiches.
Louise also will offer prepared meals for diners to reheat at home. The Carbonis are looking at offering prepared foods by other chefs and pop-up operators as well.
Louise will serve coffee drinks, but it doesn't have a liquor license. Guests will be able to bring their own alcohol.
There will be table and counter service. Under current pandemic restrictions, it can accommodate six tables inside, and there is outdoor seating as well.
Britten Carboni says they expect to offer delivery through Uber Eats to start, and may handle their own delivery.
The space is undergoing light renovations and inspections. They hope to open in early October. It will serves breakfast and lunch from Wednesday through Sunday to start, Britten Carboni says.
They opened Louise at 935 Gravier St. in 2017, expecting to serve coffee, pastries and a light menu to customers from nearby hotels and offices. During the pandemic, they tried to switch to delivery only for a while, but they closed the restaurant on July 31.
Cake Cafe closed in June. Baker Steve Himelfarb originally opened the corner spot in 2007. Louise is taking over the lease, Britten Carboni says.
"It's just a better time to be in a neighborhood right now," she says.
