Toulouse Royale

Best souvenir shop in the FQ. Prices cannot be beat.
When walking around the souvenir shops in the FQ you notice a lot of the same products but Toulouse Royal had the cheapest prices! Very affordable and adorable t shirts among other souvenirs. In addition to all types of souvenirs they also carry beignet mix and other café du monde goodies. It’s cheaper here than café du monde and its general store.

This is a fantastic souvenir shop and if you are looking for a cool keepsake or memento from your trip to New Orleans, I’d say it’s a must-​stop. From the adorable accordion playing alligator logo to the super friendly employees, I love almost everything about this place! The goods are a cut above your typical tourist trap shops. The postcards are higher quality, the t-​shirts have cute designs and there are posters and bath products crafted by local artists and artisans. As such, the prices are a tad higher than those super crappy shops that line Bourbon Street. It’s the only place in town where I found sugar free powdered sugar almonds! Those came home with me of course!

There aren’t many souvenir shops in the French Quarter, though there are some hot sauce ones that do have some souvenirs. Anyway, Toulouse Royale has a bit of everything-​food, clothes, and knick knacks. I got a cute racerback tee for around $ 20. I was going to get a magnet that had the street sign for Royal Street, but looking at it closer, it was pixelated as if it was printed out from a home computer.
It’s a nice place to get last minute items for giveaways. The stores at the airport have the same stuff, but at a much higher cost.

I really loved this place, we were able to get a lot of fun little gifts for friends and family for decent price.

I shop here every year when I visit New Orleans. They have all your souvenir type things but nicer. They have a children’s section, cooking section, shirts, books… you name it! I have never left here without getting something!

Opens early! I was able to get a couple souvenirs around 9am before my flight back home. Good prices and good quality!

Thumbs up to this place! It’s not just another generic New Orleans gift shop. You will find something in here that makes you really happy you purchased it.

I usually hate touristy gift shops but this place was bright, clean and welcoming. The merchandise didn’t look as though it was sitting on shelves for months collecting dust & the prices were awesome! I got some great masks at marginal cost. I highly recommend stopping by.

Great prices with great Nola merchandise. The masks here are also VERY nice but no expensive (but they don’t have a tonnn)

Forget the junk found at all the other shops around town, this shop has unique quality items and the price is right too. Awesome service too… everyone was incredibly helpful.

Toulouse Royale is a gift shop located on Royale Street. Royale Street is so much nicer than Bourbon Street to shop or do anything on! Royale Street seems to be where the classier crowd is and not Bourbon Street if you want to avoid the madness.
The prices on Royale Street are a big higher than on Bourbon Street. But the sights, shopping and restaurants are so much nicer for the most part than on Bourbon Street it is a pleasure to shop there especially if you have a limited time in Nola.
We forgot to take pictures here as we were in a rush. But we bought a few things here on our last day that we neglected to buy any where else.
Toulouse Royale is a nice shop with everything you might want as a souvenir!

This is my favorite gift shop in the Quarter. Every visit, I buy something from here, whether it’s a print, a praline, a t-​shirt, a refrigerator magnet, Cajun spices or other knick knacks, this store is clean, friendly, well-​stocked, and the prices are right.

This place had a large number of souvenir t-​shirts. We came here because my friend was in need of some kind souvenir. It was organized and the staff here were friendly. Good place to find some souvenir t-​shirts because there were a lot in the two areas of the store. They also had other souvenirs like magnets for example. There were books, post cards, and pretty much anything you can think of that would be categorized as a souvenir.

Great gift shop (and I went to about 15 – 20 in New Orleans in search of a beer mug). No beer mug here, BUT they had a great selection of nice looking hot sauces. They had several ghost pepper sauces and even a chart showing the spiciness of the sauces in order (the chart is for one line of sauces that had the spiciest sauces). The staff was helpful in picking out sauces.
My friend also got this sick metal skull paperweight and it was only $ 10. The quality was good and it was heavy. They only had one left, but we were both shocked something of such good quality was only $ 10.
I also tried some pralines they had out for samples. Yes, the pralines were a bit soft b/​c they were left out (under a glass cover). I ended up buying the same brand of pralines at a liquor/​gift store. I tried them when i got home and they were soft and nasty. I should have bought the pralines here.
Side note — I thought I left my camera there but wasn’t sure. I went back a few hours later asking if they saw and they still had when I went back a few hours later. Honest people!

This French Quarter store has a great location, friendly staff, and has a wide variety of souvenirs, including CDs that are a good introduction to New Orleans and Louisiana music, and foods. They also have a selection of t-​shirts that are not only well designed but are of good quality in a variety of adult and children sizes, and colors. I’ve purchased t-​shirts here with rebuilding New Orleans messages, jazz festival, and food themes. Best of all, I made many of these purchases from their ½-​off rack in the back of the store! Even if you don’t buy anything here, it’s a good place to browse while you cool off on a hot humid NOLA day.

Cute souvenir shop to get your items before you head back home. They sell everything from post cards to books to kitchen gadgets.
An important observation to state: The apparel they sell seems to be a higher quality than the other souvenir shops around the French Quarter.

After our meal at Pere Antoine’s many we walked around the Quarter to get some souvenirs and gifts from our trip. Toulouse Royale isn’t like some of the other shops in the Quarter. The selection seems to be better displayed, better lit, and a more welcoming attitude when you walk in. It seemed to be a one-​stop shop with clothing, cards, home décor, food, and Mardi Gras beads.
I purchased a great t-​shirt for $ 14, and a street car Christmas ornament for $ 7. It’s definitely for tourist, but surprisingly, the prices aren’t as exorbitant as I would see in places like San Francisco or New York.
