Reviews for Meals From the Heart Cafe in New Orleans, LA

I love that there's vegan food, but it's missing the flavor. Visually the food was amazing, but it's missing the New Orleans... punch. The vegan beignets were the best but too expensive for just 3 of them. The Gumbo was bland and the crab cakes were blandtoo. They were edible and looked good but that's all i can say about it. I had a better time feeding the food to the nearbypigeons. Read more

This place is amazing! I'm not a vegan but I don't eat Pork or and bottom feeders. I've always wanted to try Gumbo but was never... able to locate a place in NOLA that served it the way I could eat it. I'm so happy I found this spot! Great service and amazingfood! Read more

Amazing food, great service! The gluten free crab cakes are a must! I am not vegan, but can't eat eggs or dairy, so the vegan... scramble with vegan cheese and vegan remoulade was a great choice. Had breakfast there everyday of my stay in New Orleans!???? Read more

Amazing, amazing food for those who are vegan AND for those who enjoy meat. I got the vegan gumbo and vegan crab cake po boy -... both were extremely delicious!! My non-veg friend loved their crab cake. When in NOLA, you must visit?and one visit to MealsFrom the Heart Cafe likely won?t be enough! Read more

Went twice while in NOLA and enjoyed each meal. The spicy vegan sausage was amazing as well as the vegan crab cakes. I... thoroughly enjoyed the vegan blueberry pancakes. The customer was also great. Will visit again when in town. Read more

On the hunt for this one! Found it in the Shops of the Colonnade (French Market) immediately to the right. Almost missed this... greatness because of a large order, but was saved by the lovely hostess. I forgot her name, but she was amazing. Huge smile. Ispecifically came to Louisiana to try THIS vegan gumbo. Boyyyyyyy, they nailed it. Not to mention the Vegan Crab Cakes????????????????????? so so so so good. I told everyone about this place while there, and had quite a few people stop by for allthis goodness. I wanted to order so much more, but this is plenty. While waiting I ordered red beans and rice next door. Foodwas served fresh and I left nothing on my plate. Make this your number 1 stop rather you eat meat or not. I promise you, thisgumbo will change your life! Read more

Meals From the Heart Cafe made a great lunch of vegan gumbo (I'll request to hold the mushrooms to suit my preference next time)... and vegan "crab" cake tacos with carrot ginger juice. I was told that the "crab" cakes are made with artichokes and garbanzobeans, then pan fried. The ingredients were clearly fresh and good quality. Read more
