Lovee this cafe so much! The service is friendly, the food and drinks are delicious and the atmosphere is so cozy and magical. The art makes the space so special and interesting. I love to visit with friends for a long chat and I love coming alone to get some work done and soak it all in. So glad to have a cafe like this back in Orleans. It’s so apparent that so much love went into creating it.

Went in to try this new place a few weekends ago. Was warmly greeted by the very hospitable and attentive staff. Very lovely atmosphere, beautiful presentation of desserts (melt-in-your-mouth blueberry apple fritter). Rich, decadent chocolate cake & a refreshing iced matcha. Very lovely experience and home-like feel. Thank you for making the day special. See you again soon!! 🤗

Just recently discovered that Creative Stir Cafe replaced the old cafe that used to be here.

I was able to enjoy a great cappuccino and managed to snag the compfy chairs in the front corner. An excellent space to chill. The food looked great, lots of seating and the staff were on point.

Orleans needs a place like this. Finally.

We got the latte, lemon corner, tomato sandwich and strawberry field drink. Our drinks were immaculate, the presentation of them was great. The cute little hand made cup for the hot drinks were so cute!! My latte art was a cute little leaf. My latte was great. The strawberry fields drink itself tasted absolutely heavenly. Like walking is a field of… strawberries. The lemon corner wasn’t my favorite though, the lemony part was incredibly sweet and the crust had too much flour. I personally don’t like sandwiches, but the person I came with said that it was good. The presentation of the sandwich was beautiful though. Food aside, the service and atmosphere here is incredible. The walls are decorated with beautiful paintings which are all for sale. The idea to combine a cafe in a gallery is mastermind. There is a lot of seating, so wondering if there is somewhere to sit is not a worry. I like the vibe a bunch, it has a cozy and rustic vibe. It’s a little bit loud, but still a nice place for work, just throw on some headphones. There’s some constant 90s-2000s music on in the background, which is an interesting choice but still kinda chill. There is also a music lesson place upstairs, so you can occasionally hear piano noises. The service is really fast and the workers are really nice. When I came in I noticed the owner of the gallery was in fact working, so it’s cool that it’s a sort of all hands on deck effort. The little table thing number indicators, whatever they are called, are so iconic and orginal. Be a bit careful though cuz they aren’t glued down. All aside a wonderful experience, great for a chat with a friend you haven’t seen for a while or something on the lines of that.
