It was surprisingly hard to find a good place for breakfast in the French Quarter. So I looked at the Old Coffee Pot as a find. There was no wait to get in (don't underestimate this in the French Quarter). The atmosphere was very pleasant. We sat in a small, comfortable courtyard that had garden murals on the walls. You could also sit inside if you preferred but it had a little less atmosphere. The waitress was very busy but also very nice (full of southern charm...she called me 'baby' several times).
As for the food, we ordered the lost bread (a New Orleans version of French Toast) and callas(deep fried rice balls), beef with grits and a Creole omellete. All of it was very good, and the callas were particularly interesting. I don't think I could eat them every day, but they are worth trying.
