The JuJu Bag Cafe

JuJu Bag Cafe
5363 Franklin Ave
New Orleans, LA 70122
(504) 872-0969


I am reluctant to share this with you because this place has become my personal refuge. But since sharing is caring....

The JuJu Bag Cafe has two things that make it a great place to eat, relax and hangout: Ambience and Great Food!

With the mellow colors and music, they have created a very warm and relaxing atmosphere that embraces you and encourages you to stay. I often eat and just sit for a couple of hours, indulging myself in relaxation. To facilitate this even more, there is an expansive patio in the rear for you to soak up a little nature with your beverage and meal.

While advertised as vegetarian and vegan, there are some delicious fish and chicken items on the menu for the carnivore in all of us. Some of my favorites have been the Salmon Burger on Flatbread with the Dijon Mustard, as well as the Avocado Salad and the Grilled Chicken Panini with the Raspberry Vinaigrette Sauce. My favorite beverage has become the Hot Chai Tea. The portions are ample and satisfying!

If that was not enough, there is good entertainment that goes along with the good food.

On Thursday nights there is the 'Word Connection' open mic spoken word show. A variety of poets share their prowess at combining word, rhyme and rhythm. So come by and have a listen, be inspired and speak on it!

On Friday nights there is a jazz ensemble that plays beautiful music that will certainly provide the rhythm to aid in the peristaltic action of your rhythmic digestion.

Also, from time to time, there are theatrical productions staged out in the expansive patio area.

The JuJu Bag has you covered, mind, body and soul. So, with all of this, can you understand why I wanted to keep this to myself? So now my secret is out.

Come and join me!
