Powdered Sugar

Not so good. As vegetarians, we were looking for a good salad. This restaurant has build your own salad (5 options) for $ 10. The mixed greens had several rotten pieces and the tomatoes and cucumber were overripe also. We ordered the house fries because of all the great reviews, but were disappointed. The house fries were really greasy, with an underlying taste of fish (which is not a good thing for a vegetarian), and extremely salty. The ambience is very cute, but the service was awful. Shane, the waiter/​cashier, was very dismissive and rude. During our order, he rolled his eyes at us and sighed. When we asked for something for the salad, he sighed again and got what we asked for. It was obvious that he was either having a REALLY bad day or he hates his job. I recommend you keep looking. There are better options out there.

This place was great! Definitely not your typical hotel food. The food was made-​from-​scratch and delicious. We ordered the Cajun Cuban (to die for) and shrimp po’boy. Their house cut fries are incredible!

A wonderful little hotel café with delightful service, and good healthy, and not so healthy choices.
Powdered Sugar has quality sandwiches, coffee, drink variety, breakfast choices and snacks.
We ate here a few mornings while staying at the Hyatt. It was easy, quick, and helped us start the day out right.
Thanks Sugar Shack.

Delicious ! The staff truly is excellent and nice !
For breakfast I had the waffles. They were so warm, fluffy and delicious! I do wish the fruit served with it was fresh and not in syrup.
I went there the next day for lunch and got the chicken panini and gumbo soup! I fell in love!
Definitely an easy and fast go to place.

Honestly, this was some of the best food we had in the French Quarter. We had at least 5 meals and several pastries, and they were excellent. You have to try their hand cut fries! Their panini and sandwich offerings cover a wide taste palette. They offer a fresh build your own salad for $ 10. Prices are on par with local trends. $ 8 – 22 Really friendly Southern hospitality.

Stayed at the Hyatt Hotel and had breakfast here twice. I ordered the banana foster French toast and it was the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time! I told the waitress how fabulous it was and the Chef even came out of the kitchen to talk to us and I praised her on this dish. Coffee was good and the selection of breakfast items was enough to get us satisfied for the day ahead.

Excellent ambiance, décor and coffee. Tried the crab omelette which also was excellent. Great for a quick breakfast or coffee.

Breakfast is typical Hyatt food, but with a twist — biscuits with delta gravy were really really good and not regular sausage gravy. We also didn’t want to leave for dinner one night and had a really good filet and a cajun cuban that was good. Wait staff is really friendly and helpful — will even come out and talk to you about your trip when they’re not waiting on other customers. More friendly of a Hyatt experience than I’m used to at the larger Hyatts.

Nice coffee shop/​lunch plate neatly tucked into the Hyatt French Quarter Hotel. The coffee is excellent– even though it’s not chicory laden.
Seating is comfortable and nicely spread out.
In addition to breakfast, we had a mid afternoon brunch of a very nicely prepared and presented turkey sandwich.
You order at the counter and the food is brought to you by a waiter.

This place was a nice, mellow spot off the madness that calls itself the French Quarter: the adjacent bar has a sign off Iberville advertising cheap Skittle shots, but the drunks seldom venture inside.
The food itself was decent: it’s possible to order from both Powdered Sugar and the adjacent bar (but avoid the bar food – nothing special…). The food was fresh-​tastin’, and we visited twice while in the area. If you’re looking for a mellow place with a little class, give this place a try…

The biscuits and gravy was delicious. Biscuits were moist and buttery. And the gravy! Ohhh the gravy was mouthwatering with the andouille sausage. Good stuff. You have to try this dish.

My husband and I were guests of the Hyatt and came into Powdered Sugar at an in between time for lunch and dinner as we just got back from an excursion. We both ordered the make your own house salad and I got a side of gumbo. It was all delicious! The house salads were made with fresh ingredients and the dressings were delicious and not overwhelming. The gumbo was the best I had in NOLA! Would certainly recommend someone looking for a light lunch to check out Powdered Sugar.

Good waffles but the biscuits and gravy were just… overdone. interesting flavor. but not proper biscuits and gravy. There is no need to add fancy stuff to a staple.

We ate here almost every day we stayed at the Hyatt. The first night it was out of convenience because they open at 6am and we were just getting in from a night out. The service and food were so good we went back.
I felt their prices were a little high but not as high as normal hotel food. The time to make the food could be a little slow depending on the time of the day.
Everything we ordered tasted great. My favorite items were lunch or dinner items.

We stayed here at Hyatt and had the buffet which was great and only $ 12! We are here again with no buffet but we don’t mind because the egg white with spinach, pesto and roasted tomatoes was delicious! The original sandwich comes with alfalfa sprouts. I asked for sautéed spinach instead and they did it beautifully! the sandwich was $ 10 but worth it! The service was great too! Especially Alvin!

This was my 2^nd stay in this hotel, and second time having breakfast here. I was pleasantly surprised both times with the food. I travel every week, and have pretty low expectations for hotel restaurants, expecting mostly stuff that is just reheated. But this all looked freshly cooked, and while to pastries may not be made in house, they were clearly freshly delivered this morning.
I had a Prussian pastry, with a little chocolate on it, and it we as super flaky, and just the right amount of sweetness. I also orders biscuits & gravy that not only had a few slices of sausage in the gravy, but also had actual pulled pork in it too. It looked a little iffy at first, but tasted great. And the biscuits were perfectly cooked. Generally, biscuits and gravy end up with biscuits that are a little hard, but these cut easily and didn’t crumble apart.
The only downside was I thought the coffee was just ok.
I will definitely eat here again on my next visit.

Ordered a standard black coffee here. Took one sip and couldn’t drink the rest. Horrible tasting coffee. Maybe it was a bad batch but my sister got some the next day, no change. Didn’t order any food. Review is just about the coffee.

Regular American food here.
We are staying at the hyatt and went down to this place to get some sweets.
We tried the strawberry shortcake and was not disappointed. They prepared it to order so when it got to us it was hot, gooey and delicious!
we’ll be sure to return to try some of their other food items :-)
