Baldwin & Co. coffee + bookstore

Very clean place and friendly staff. The book collection is gonna keep me coming here more often!

This was the cutest little local bookstore & coffee shop to slip into to escape the heat. We got the lemonades, which were super refreshing, and perused the store while we cooled off. There was plenty of seating and such a great selection of books. The baristas were also super friendly and helpful.

Great place for a coffee event if you aren't a Baldwin fan.

This was a cute surprise! We were walking to Lorettas (great beignets) and saw thus place. When I say this was an amazing coffee shop with a great selection uts an understatement. They host storyline with kids and have a podcast booth in the back. If you love to read good coffee and amazing vibe, please stop by!

Love this place! very nice people and its a nice place to go

Cutest bookstore/coffee shop with a great collection and amazing drinks. The rose matcha that DD made was phenomenal

Since Essence shut down this locally Black owned business' event over Essence Fest weekend, I plan to support it by ordering books online by Black authors. Essence does not walk its own talk! 🫷🏾

I instantly fell in love with this place. A sucker for coffee shops and bookstores, this small, minority-owned business created and perfected what is considered, individually, to be typical concepts and created a uniquely beautiful establishment. A delicious iced-coffee along with the purchase of an unearthed book was absolute magic thanks to Baldwin & Co.

I reserved the in-house private meeting space for my work team, which delivered our need for a remote team meeting.

Customer service is top notch as well :). Will definitely patronize this business each and every time I visit NoLa.

Thanks for an amazing experience. Such a vibe.

This charming independent bookstore offers coffee and has a pleasant atmosphere inside.

Really nice vibe!

Amazing people and wonderful books on history and prospective.

Smallish bookstore and cafe, I finally made myself come through for a visit. While not a coffee fan, they were busy on a early Monday afternoon with people enjoying their drinks and food. I just came to check out their collection and to purchase a Baldwin book. They have a limited selection of books, but I found several interesting titles to add to my list. It being a James Baldwin themed store, they had most of his collection of novels, short stories and other writings. I hopefully bought a novel I haven't read before. I've read several of his books, but don't actually own any(until now) so I never remember which titles I've read. I received a GC as a gift, so no harm if I end up rereading one of his excellent works. They're all new prints and priced accordingly. I'll definitely have to make more of an effort to visit in the future. They're constantly having authors and speakers along with their book events. I was lucky enough to catch an excellent Ta-Nehisi Coates event they hosted at Xavier several months back. I'm glad I finally got to check this place off my bookstore tour list.

good curated selection of books, a good place to chill out and enjoy a drink (lavender lemonade was delish) and pastry!

☕ and 📚 Great as well as the service!!!

Delicious coffee and baked goods. Very friendly staff. Beautiful outdoor area. Definitely recommend!
