50 Best Coffee Shops near Arabi

“Such a long over due review!! I have been coming here for YEARS. And it's just as much for the coffee as it is the people. I literally even stopped drinking coffee (didn't last long) and still came for the daily dose of friendly faces, goofy jokes and good energy. It's a place on earth where I feel like even if it's for 5 minutes I matter..... even when I make weird requests (😅) There's so much more here than goood coffee and yummy food! love y'all!!“

“We love stopping in for a quick bite and dessert. Food is always so fresh and hot. The staff is always kind and welcoming!“

“A nice upscale and comfortable environment for learning more about Irish immigrants coming to New Orleans. Wonderful history and even better tastes of Ireland. The espresso martini and Irish lemonade are really refreshing and delicious.“

“Relaxing atmosphere! OAN Of course those Beignets!“

“Went in this morning for the first time. Love the simplicity. And the cappuccino? 11/10.“

“I recently rediscovered this gem a few weeks ago. The service is fantastic great selection of beverages and snacks. The Mushroom Boom is sooooo dang delicious! Then there is the added space to meet, gather, read a book etc. Perfect!“

“Great service and food. Very helpful with directions.“

“We always try to go here when we are in New Orleans. Last weekend we took my niece for her first visit and she left her purse that was filled with all of her makeup. She was so upset because we are 5 hours away and she was starting school this week. I called the next morning and they located the bag and overnighted it to us! What a blessing! That is great customer service.“

“Quaint little shop on a sweet little corner in a charming little neighborhood. Staff are friendly, attentive and very good at what they do. Great selection of desserts and lunch items.“

“very nice stop for coffee if your visiting The Ogden or Contemporary Arts Center.“

“Great planty outside seating and the nicest people. Delicious iced coffees, spinach and feta croissant, spicy shirmp nola-chés, and bread pudding. Definitely a must on your list if you're passing through the area.“

“Delicious! It's popular; there might be a line. The coffee was very good, and the food was delicious. The chocolate croissant was close to the real deal (French person speaking). All 3 employees were some of the very best. Loud though, so not ideal to work or read while sipping coffee.“

“I saw this lovely place on Uber Ears and decided to give it a try. I AM HOOKED! Unfortunately I don’t go to that area of town often but I may have to in the future! The Bavarian Cream and Venetian Cream iced coffee drinks are off the chain! But the best is the Wellness Tonic…their signature wellness shot with tonic water and ice! Chef’s kiss!“

“There may be no better city in North America for Pirates to Gather than New Orleans and the French Quarter in particular...the history, the atmosphere, the attitude and the hospitality all come together to create an event that you won't forget and that you will want to repeat by bringing MORE friends with you the next time.“

“Best little coffeehouse around. We love the local vibe and the delicious chicory coffee. So many snacks and sandwiches to chose from. Hang out were the locals go !“

“Great food and coffee. Recommended!!“

“The coffee and service were great! However, I was under the impression that this was a dog-friendly place. I came in holding my 11 lb Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and wasn’t acknowledged regarding my dog, which was fine — until another customer came in with their dog. The staff immediately offered them complimentary dog treats from the counter, but nothing was mentioned or offered to me.

The same staff member who served me even looked over after giving the other dog a treat, but didn’t say anything to me, which left me a little confused. I didn’t want to make it awkward by asking, but I’d love to know if there was a reason for that.

Overall, I really enjoyed the coffee and the service otherwise, but that small moment made me feel a bit left out. I’ll give this a 4-star rating for now, just because it could make other dog owners feel the same way. Maybe I just misunderstood how dog-friendly this place is!“

“Fantastic place! I was a bit lost and happened to stumble upon this place. Decided to grab some of their blueberry croissants and a couple of coffees. Boy am I happy I did! Love you guys!“

“Great place for breakfast, menu has changed some what, less omelet selection, grits are a little runner spread out onto the plate looks like more but less. I ordered fish and grits w/eggs. Instead waiter brought me a bowl shrimp and grits with eggs on the side. I ask where is the fish she said oh! Yes came back with the fish. I told her I had ordered fish and grits, no sir you ask for shrimp and grits. Anyway the food taste good my guess were happy, In the end so was I. 9/04/23.“

“Great espresso, nice spot.“

“Delicious espresso old fashioned!!“

“Friendly staff. Cozy environment. Great designer coffee and pastries.“

“A relaxing atmosphere, great food and service. Ordered a biscuit with my breakfast. It was the fluffiest biscuit I’ve ever eaten! Not as granular in texture as many. I’ll be back!“

“Another hidden gem in NOLA. This is your neighborhood’s cafe where one can work or have small talks with someone. My friends and I took the bus there from our hotel (5-7 mins walk from the bus stop) we wanted to come for the coffee and show support , we found the cafe on IG. Personally I prefer cafe like this oppose the big chain coffee shops. I would recommend, the cafe is beautiful decorated and the service was fast and friendly.“

“Great spot! Bring a book take a book, games, n great music“

“A really solid coffee stop in NOLA

Nova Espresso in New Orleans may not have the wow factor of the Mobile location, but it has a charm all its own, and honestly that’s part of why we liked it. It feels relaxed and welcoming in the best way.

I had a cortado with oat milk and it was smooth and well balanced. My 9 year old ordered chocolate milk and a cinnamon roll and was very happy, which is always the real test. Everything tasted great and felt thoughtfully done without being fussy.

Service was prompt and friendly, and it’s the kind of place you’d happily stop into again without overthinking it. Good coffee, happy kid, easy win“

“Everyone there is so friendly and the manager goes above and beyond. Loved the atmosphere in there and you can't go wrong with the coffee and don't forget to grab a delicious danish, fresh made each morning, only if they don't sale out before you get there. They are that good.“

“Ordered two coffees and a 2 muffins, all still under $20, both were delicious. They also have a small back patio and cemetery right next door!“

“We ate there while on vacation and their coffee and their twist on french toast was the best I’ve had. The service was top notch and the cafe was very clean :) Highly recommend stopping in.“

“This is a wonderful place for anyone who loves coffee and wants to experience it at it’s best. They have a wide variety of beans which you can roast to your taste with expert assistance. The result is heavenly coffee at the same price or less than the packaged premium coffees for sale around town.“

“Everything is delicious here, really good. Best biscuits in the city hands down. They use what they have grown from the garden. The prices are unbelievable and the food is so fresh and high quality. I love the cause and helping kids on the spectrum learn skills and socialization! Truly amazing!“

“Such a fun little place with great pastries, sandwiches, and coffee.“

“I visited Old Road Coffee a couple times while I was visiting New Orleans. Both drinks I got were delicious (the nebula and the emmett) and the staff were super friendly.“

“Friendly barista, great iced coffee!“

“great coffee, super nice staff!“

“This is by far my favorite snow ball stand. The owner, Andres, always gives the warmest welcomes and we share a mutual admiration of classic cars. He’s actually from Havana, where he and his family ran a classic car sight seeing business. I always enjoy our chats and he really pours some soul into his snowballs and coffee’s. Really love the color and patina on his beautiful 55’ Chevy too. It’s one of my favorite classic cars. The flag pole is a MUST DO if you get the chance to visit New Orleans. It sits on a peaceful spot of the beautiful Esplanade Ave. You can sip your coffee or enjoy a snowball all while taking in the atmosphere and admiring his beautiful automotive sculpture from 1955.“

“Riverboat Coffee is bout as good as it gets. Great coffee and even better people!“

“Everything I want in a coffee shop! Great coffee & tea of course. Yummy muffins & other pastries. Delicious & satisfying Protein-packed breakfast meals. Clean & inviting seating areas inside & out. Plus my awesome sister Sarah is there!“

“Great location and wonderful crepes! Will be back when we visit NOLA next year!“

“Tried this place for the first time, beyond lived up to the hype. They got the 3 most important things right. Great coffee, service, and vibe. I got the pistachio latte as recommended, did not disappoint. The flavor profile was 👌. Very unique taste, 10/10. Plenty of nice new and comfortable furniture to relax. Dudes making the coffee gave first class service. Just a block off of Manhattan and Lapalco, this definitely ain't Starbucks and its definitely my new spot. Lots of other cool stuff, ,Dubai chocolate and other treats. Will be back“

“A delightful and popular institution among NOLA bakery gelaterias. Outstanding traditional Italian pastries; tortes, cannolis, eclairs and cake slices. Good assortment of gelato flavors. Also quite a variety of imported packaged Italian delicacies displayed for gifting and take home. There are a handful of small tables in front and more sit down tables just above/beyond the main floor. Parking is tight in front, but there's a variety of options nearby.“

“We had a wonderful experience today with amazing crêpes and coffee, a lovely gumbo, and very sweet employees who were so welcoming and kind! I had the homemade caramel sauce crêpe with whipped cream and it was divine! We will definitely be back, hopefully often!“

“Glad I stopped in for their tasty Vietnamese Frozen Coffee 🍹 😷👍🏼“

“I love TM Breads and Pastries! They serve high-quality chai, and their pastries are deliciously balanced. It’s a great spot for a morning meetup with friends or even to get some work done. Highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: They do have alternative-milk options!“

“The coffee is delicious (I had the NOLA frozen) and the turkey panini gave me flashbacks to the paninis in I had in Italy. 100% recommend. Great and friendly service, nice decor, clean bathrooms, and DELICIOUS. I look forward to coming here more“

“We thoroughly enjoyed all the trays we got at Ayu Bakehouse on our recent trip to New Orleans! The staff is very friendly, and it’s clear they love the place and the products they produce! Of all the items we tried I would have to say that the one that was hardest for me to share with my family was the muffuletta sticks!“
