Surrey's Café & Juice Bar

"Nestled in a cozy corner of the city, this breakfast joint boasts exceptional food and attentive service, but falls short in terms of cleanliness. Let's start with the positives: the shrimp and grits were absolutely phenomenal. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the creamy texture of the grits was just sublime. The chorizo egg scramble also hit the spot, offering a satisfying combination of spices and savory goodness. Even for someone who isn't typically a fan of biscuits, I must admit that theirs was moist and paired perfectly with the accompanying apple jam. It's evident that the chef pays careful attention to flavor profiles and presentation. However, the cleanliness of the restaurant left much to be desired. Dust and dirt seemed to have made a permanent home in the corners, and the single-stall restroom was downright disgusting. It's a shame that such excellent food is overshadowed by these hygiene issues. Another drawback is the limited seating capacity. With space for only about 20 people, it's easy to see why the wait times can be lengthy, especially during peak hours. In conclusion, while this breakfast spot excels in food quality and service, there's a clear need for improvement in terms of cleanliness and hygiene. If you can overlook the filth, you'll be treated to a culinary experience that's truly out of this world."

"A bit of a wait for our table but WORTH THE WAIT!!! This was the best breakfast we had in New Orleans!!! A few things we’d highly recommend… *fresh juices were a healthy, tasty start!!! *boudin sausage & over-easy eggs! *biscuits were so light & fluffy!!! *home fries with a kick of spices!!!! *grits were creamy and cooked perfectly!!!! We also had great service which is always appreciated!"

"Delicious small breakfast spot, very popular we had a 15 minute wait when we arrived. Food was absolutely delicious, juice was fresh squeezed and fantastic, and the coffee was rich and fresh. Walls are covered in local art which is really cool, staff are kind and polite and the food came out very fast. Highly recommend the home fries, the seasoning is phenomenal."

"Small space but such great vibes. You just know the food is going to be amazing with how kind everyone is and even with a short wait, the staff made us feel comfortable and kept us informed the whole time. The art work inside is fun and vibrant and the food is simple but so flavorful and delicious. My friends and I stumbled on this place while walking in the area and with how great the reviews were and people leaving saying how great is was and that we HAVE to go in, we took their advice. We still talk about the French toast."
