SUNRISE TO SUNSET
Seriously Playful
District New Orleans was founded on a simple idea: great food can be fun. More than a decade later, our chefs still dream up twists on classic burgers, sandwiches, and donuts that keeps New Orleans coming back.
Always Handcrafted
We are obsessed with creative scratch-made items. Our pastries are baked fresh daily, our biscuits are made from scratch, our breakfast and lunch menus are prepared in-house, and our fillings, glazes, sauces and sprinkles are crafted by our team.
GOOD MORNINGS
Brunch New Orleans Loves
Looking for the best brunch in New Orleans? We serve fluffy eggs, scratch-made biscuit sandwiches, and loaded breakfast bowls. Add a lineup of creative kolaches, breakfast tacos, gouda grits, fancy hash browns, and pancakes (at our Downtown Diner), and you have a menu built for serious brunch people.
Breakfast to Remember
Our breakfast is never boring. Our pastry team keeps it fresh with creative pastries and donut flavors that change monthly, alongside the savory classics New Orleans locals crave. Grab a nectar latte and brûléed cinnamon roll on the run, or settle in for a miso-bacon & egg biscuit.
BEST LUNCH & DINNER
Burgers New Orleans Craves
Looking for the best burgers in New Orleans? Our house-made black sesame brioche buns are stacked with juicy Angus double patties and topped with scratch-made house barbecues, signature District sauce, slaws, and pimento cheeses. Every burger is made fresh to order in our open kitchens.
Sandwiches & Salads
Not in a burger mood? Our chicken sandwiches are available fried, grilled, or spicy. Our fresh salads come with house-made cornbread croutons and citrus-tarragon vinaigrette.
Round out your meal with crispy ancho Brussels sprouts or house-cut waffle fries with addictive jalapeño three-cheese sauce.
FAMOUS DONUTS
Weird But So Good
For over a decade we have turned fresh-baked dough into New Orleans' most creative donuts.
Think charred pineapple atop a Pineapple Upside Down Donut, gummy worms and cookie crumbles piled high on a Dirt Cake Donut, or Thai tea cream and boba pearls tucked inside a Thai Tea Donut. Think bright purple gluten-free Ube Drops and Lemon Compote-Fresh Blueberry Rolls.
Our menu resets the first of every month, so get your favorites while you can!
Want Classics?
Our glazed, chocolate sprinkle, and cinnamon sugar have plenty of fans too.
Cool Kids Coffee
Cool Kids Coffee uses premium beans in every latte, Vietnamese iced coffee, cold brew, and espresso shot. Roasted in New Orleans, Cool Kids delivers smooth, creative-but-approachable specialty coffee.
Brewed to Give Back
From handcrafted espresso drinks to fresh-brewed coffee and whole bean bags to take home, every Cool Kids purchase supports New Orleans youth organizations through the Cool Kids Coffee give-back program.
INDULGE YOUR SWEET TOOTH
Handmade Ice Cream
Our ice cream flavors include favorites like Sweet Corn Ooey Gooey, "C" Is for Cookie, and a rotating cast of freezer heroes that keep things interesting.
Grab a scoop. Turn it into a milkshake. Order three scoops and tell yourself you're sharing. We are not here to judge.
Warm Cinnamon Rolls
Our cinnamon rolls are New Orleans legends for a reason. Bigger than your palm and baked fresh, they're finished with a crackly layer of torched sugar. Worth every napkin. Go ahead and lick the box.
Gooey Cookies
Need a little nostalgia? Our warm Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Cookies arrive soft in the center and slightly crisp around the edges.
And if choosing between cookies and ice cream feels like an impossible decision, meet the Cookiewich. Sandwiching a generous scoop of house-made ice cream between two warm cookies for a dessert, it's equal parts childhood memory and delicious challenge.
