Gretna's Common Grounds Coffee

User Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

This is such a terrific spot for breakfast. I have not been there at any other times, so lunch or dinner might be equally terrific. The morning crew is always attentive, quick and friendly. There is outdoor dining (on a covered patio) basically for smokers--I'd recommend staying inside if you are not a smoker. The house coffee is nice, and there's coffee and tea bar to fix specialized coffee and tea creations. It's like Starbucks but with hot meals.

I routinely have the egg/bacon/grits/hash browns/toast breakfast. You get both grits and seasoned hash browns. Usually it's one or the other. And this place knows how to cook grits. Too often you get watery grits that splash. These are perfect. Always. This breakfast and all the coffee you can drink, for under $6 including tax.

If you have to be in downtown Gretna (probably for court), this is an excellent spot for meals. The place is very unpretentious (I think it was originally a gas station 70 years ago). This is an ideal breakfast spot.

Great Food: This place has good breakfast, lunch and dinner. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere. My favorites are the Banana Foster's pancakes and the Crab Cake's Benedict
