Cafe Nola,

4 East Patrick Street, Frederick, MD 21701

"Visited on a cold, snowy day and everyone was welcoming and friendly. The German Chocolate Latte was perfect in every way."

"Fabulous shrimp & grits! As good as New Orleans! Best spicy Bloody Mary I have had in a while. Sat at the bar, great service by Casey !"

"Nice spot located in Downtown Frederick. You can find parking at the nearby Carol Creek library parking garage or street side meter parking. The food was delicious, decor was colorful and highlighted that everyone was welcome, server was attentive without being overbearing. I had the shrimp and grits which surprisingly had real sized shrimp instead of the popcorn shrimp that most places serve. My only complaint was that the grits were too lumpy for my Southern taste."

"Great food and flavors. Service was slow at times, but the food outweighed the speed of service. Neat building."

"Solid five stars. I've been here at least ten times now and they are impeccably consistent. I order a mocha and they are not to heavy on the syrup. The milk froth is so well emulsified that the foam has an almost creamy thick texture. They also have a good espresso pull and properly roasted beans that must be roasted each morning. For food I have been impressed with the technique and constancy of the home fries. They are evenly cooked chunks of potato with a fluffy center and browned and crisped on the outside forming a crust. I can't tell if they are air fried but there is no leftover oil from its baking or frying making it a perfect pallate to scoop up the many sauces and leftovers from the plates of food. The Italian eggs Benedict is not over powered by the pesto as I thought, as I avoided it the first few times I had visited. It's a light and fresh addition to help cut the hollandaise which was not as heavy as other diner hollandaise. It is very light and packed with air so you know it was whipped to order, not sitting under a heat lamp. Very delicious food with good portions. I am correctly missing a photo of the Italian Benedict because I was not expecting to do a review of it ;)"
