Excited to announce that Calas Café is now powered by Pelican POS!
Brandon Pellerin's Calas Café is more than a business—it's a cultural preservation project. Calas, those iconic sweet rice fritters, carry the story of Rose Nicaud and the enslaved women who sold them on New Orleans streets and, in some cases, earned their freedom through this work.
Now at their three-month residency at the Cabildo in Jackson Square, Calas Café is bringing this history to life while serving their signature calas and Rose Nicaud Café au lait. We're honored to support their mission with payment processing that lets them focus on what matters: community, culture, and storytelling.
If you're in NOLA, visit them Thursday–Sunday, 11 a.m.–4 p.m. at Jackson Square. It's a powerful reminder of resilience and the importance of preserving the stories that shape our city.
