They must have been having a bad morning but now I am too!! No breakfast that was ordered. Was given someone's hot chocolate croissant then given two cold hard croissants and some bitter coffee for thirty dollars. Very poor first experience.

This is where the locals go! Great coffee and drinks, vegan pastries, ample seating and a homey feel. Free wifi. A minor drawback is that street parking can be tricky. Most city folks can deal with it.
Fresh and delicious food and coffee. A little on the spendy side for sandwiches. Getting cookies, macarons or bagels out of the case will save you money. Love that they are ?️??️⚧️ friendly!
I just moved to MidCity and was delighted to see this coffee bar within walking distance to me. The walk there was gorgeous and scenic, seeing street cars drive by, and admiring all the architecture. The coffee bar itself is a hidden gem! Right underneath what looks like a duplex/apartment, you're greeted with a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and overall a great spot for coffee or breakfast. The cashier was super nice and helped me decide on what to get to eat, their recommendation of a breakfast sandwich with avocado and fried egg was AMAZING! I highly recommend.

I just stopped into Church Alley for the first time. I walked passed as I was leaving my eye doctor's office around lunchtime and thought I'd check it out. I will definitely be back! I got the tomato and goat cheese croissant (I added avocado) to go and did a little shopping while I waited for my order. They don't have a ton of merchandise but what they do have is all so cute and interesting and locally made. I bought several holiday gifts that I didn't really need but they were too good to pass up. I just got back to my office to try the sandwich and it is stellar! The flavors and textures are amazing! I've got a new favorite lunch place!

I visit here often , never again. At over $8 bucks I never expected to get the butt of a bread for my Avo toast. Also was the thickness of my fingernail. Which made it extremely hard and inedible. Pics for references. Disappointed .
Good and nice coffee. (They use NYC beans). Food is great and healthy! Cozy and quiet atmosphere, interior full of art, like it. Friendly and pretty fast service.

I wish I could continue to love and support this place but the quality/ quantity vs cost has gotten ridiculous. This place exemplifies gentrification. How can you claim to be for the community and then charge $4!!! for a bagel with "butter and jam." And you're probably thinking "oh well homemade jam sounds nice... nope. Welches jam packets you get for free at any diner or restaurant. Also, my bagel was definitely old cause it was almost rock hard. I used to love the avocado toast, which has since gone up in price and waaaaay down in quality and size (sidenote: being advertised on baguette as well as the Turkey and avo sandwich that come on a tiny hard piece of multigrain bread). I tried something different today, hoping for a better outcome and to change my opinion back, but I was served a bland "Turkey, goat cheese, and greens fried egg sandwich on bagel" for almost $14!!! It was mushy from the grease off the Turkey, super thin, undercooked bagel, flavorless, and THATS my goat cheese spread...literally the only ingredient that might make it worth even $10 let alone almost 14! And to claim you're part of the community while charging insane prices; it's no surprise I only ever see one type of person shopping/eating here. If you're gonna charge such d*** prices, at least try to serve something of quality & worth my money. I used to tell people this was the best coffee shop in New Orleans when I first moved to the neighborhood and discovered it. Sad I now have to avoid and drive 15 minutes to anywhere else.

In a neighborhood full of top notch coffee shops this one stands out as the best. Service stands heads and shoulders above others in the neighborhood and the coffee, espresso drinks and snacks are always fantastic. With at least three other very good coffee shops within walking distance Church Alley remains my family's consistent favorite.

Plenty of cafés in the neighborhood, but it’s tough to beat the vibe here. Cozy, friendly, with plenty of good service to keep ya coming back.
