Hello World, New Creole Cafe is now permanently closed. we take with us all our treasured memories. 21 years is a good run. but for small business to flourish we need a stable economy. Lack of tourists, prices going thru the roof, it is no longer profitable to operate.
We leave behind so many friends at our location and beloved customers, it has been grand. We are deeply grateful.
