"Laissez les bons temps rouler!" is a Cajun expression meaning "Let the good times roll!" It strongly conveys the "joie de vivre" ("joy of living") attitude that is present throughout south Louisiana.

In September 1995, Danny and Aline Cross threw open the doors to Crows Nest’s first snowball shop. The set up was basic, but the business thrived. A number of months later, they bought a coffee machine and overnight, New Orleans Old fashioned Snowballs became New Orleans Café. Serving a very basic menu, with a kitchen comprising of one microwave oven for reheating, most of the food was cooked off the premises in Aline’s home kitchen. The food and hospitality offered proved so popular that eventually, they could not keep up with the demand. At this stage, the actual space consisted of a narrow shop with a front entrance and not much dining space. It continued to grow and that’s when expansion began.

Bit-by-bit, the New Orleans Café grew and today occupies not only the original space, but has taken over the whole corner as well. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

The New Orleans Cafe is a friendly, relaxed, informal, and swinging joint, and is dedicated to providing one thing and one thing only: "The Ultimate New Orleans Experience". Our location is perfect, in a bustling trendy village, on a magic corner. Our atmosphere is unique in Sydney. The only thing modern or slick about the place is the technology we use to help us serve our guests. But the aesthetic has a rustic rambling appeal based around New Orleans Memorabilia. It is full of atmosphere and allows people to feel comfortable. With it's timber finishes, concertina doors and alfresco dinning.

What the New Orleans cooks on the menu, it does right. There are always some great Creole-Cajun dishes available, as well as classics such as burgers, ribs, soups and salads. The Cafe also does brilliant cocktails, mixed drinks, and makes one damn fine cup of coffee.
