Welcome to Calas Café, a charming spot nestled in the heart of the historic Treme neighborhood in New Orleans. Here, you can indulge in the delightful taste of Calas, a traditional rice dish infused with the warm flavors of nutmeg and vanilla, and accompanied by lemon curd and pistachio curd, finished off with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar.
Reviving a culinary tradition that dates back to the rice-growing regions of Africa, Calas Café honors the cultural significance of this beloved dish. Once sold by enslaved women and Creole street vendors known as "Calas Women," these treats were not just a food item but a symbol of resilience and freedom.
As a testament to history and heritage, Calas Café invites you to savor not just the flavors of the past, but the stories woven into each bite. Join us in celebrating the legacy of Calas and immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of New Orleans at our upcoming satellite pop-up location at the New Orleans African American Museum.
