50 Best Coffee Shops in New Orleans

“Had to visit as I heard this was one of the best places to get donuts and coffee. Came here on our last night after dinner and got the espresso with ice cream and a shake along with a cinnamon roll to share with my honey. The shake was a perfect consistency. Then came here again the day we were leaving out as they have Koloches. Haven’t seen those since we lived in Texas. It was pretty good but that Vietnamese coffee 🤤🤤🤤 it was soo good. I’m craving it now as I write this. Then got some donuts for the road. All very good. Highly recommend this place.“

“Relaxing atmosphere! OAN Of course those Beignets!“

“The food was good. Cash Only the service was Bad and restrooms were nasty.“

“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!“

“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 food and coffee. Recommended!!“

“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 !“

“This little shop, adjoining Small Mart, offers delicious coffee, lattes, and espresso. The staff members are so friendly and helpful you feel like you could just take them home with you for an extended visit! There are a few little tables, a few counter seats, and this coziness, rather than a distraction, adds to the feeling of comfortableness and community. Lovely artwork on the walls, interesting things to look at and read everywhere you turn, and such delicious, beautifully made hot drinks. A great place for the start of the day.“

“Its a great place to shop and dine .“

“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.“

“I discovered this warm, quaint and friendly place a few doors down from my Air BnB and I must say they are better than Starbucks! I had the mocha with white chocolate and it was superb. I went both mornings I was in the city!“

“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.“

“Great food, customer service was awesome @darow was great and management also very present and checking on customer highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“Best shrimp and grits I’ve had in a long time.“

“Amazing gelato, itailan ice, and homemade deserts.
I loved the Boci (chocolate hazelnut), praline, and raspberry gelato. I have also had several cheesecake and cookie options. If you cant decide, they will fresh pack pints and quarts as well as box up your pastry selections in a box with red twine. And there is an airpirt location as well.“

“I normally receive Top Tier customer service, but today was odd.I didn't receive acknowledgement upon entering, my name wasn't added to my order, I was the only person at the counter to pick up my order and the barista ignored me and placed my item infornt of male patron who then moves it out of his way and they continue on with their conversation.“

“Ordered the crab cake Benedict. One of the two eggs were perfectly cooked; however, the other was overdone and did not have a runny yoke. However, the crab was well proportioned and the biscuits more than made up for it. I loved that the dish was served with a salad and breakfast potatoes as well.“

“Beautiful inside!!!!! They grind their own beans and bake their pastries in house (also offer large selection of local flavored syrups). Environment was very welcoming and building just has that old time charm. Can’t wait to go back. P.S., don’t forget to pay for your street parking- unless it’s Sunday.“

“Wonderful wonderful place to have a pastry, speciality coffee, and delicious breakfast! (They also have lunch!) We had some of their speciality coffee, the BearCat breakfast, pastry’s, and the breakfast burrito. So. Good. The whole staff works hard together and I loved the overall experience. Great location, too. The vibe today was fun! We can’t wait to go back.“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in the city. Doesn’t seem to be over-run with tourists which is so nice as a local that works remote. The food and coffee is AMAZING. The food is some of the best i’ve had in the city out of any restaurant i’ve been to… and this is a coffee shop. I’ve never even liked scones and now like scones (but only from here). The decor is so cute and bathroom always smells nice. Hours are later than most coffee shops. Only qualm is I had an Irish coffee which just tasted like alcohol (very strong) I couldn’t taste the coffee in it and the tables are too small to fit a drink, food and something to work on (such as a laptop or notebook). Otherwise everything is perfect!!“

“We held a professional development at NOCHI last week. Their staff was extremely attentive, and the space was extremely conducive to our training. The training facililies that NOCHI offers are top-notch. I would highly recommend any event at NOCHI.“

“Great customer service. Wonderful coffee. Clean and friendly. Grab a cup and head over to City Park. We loved their Hustle and dirty Chai Latte!“

“coffee cocktails!! bloody mary! salads so many brunch options!! a perfect benedict.“

“The best king cake in NOLA 💚⚜️💜 Helpful friendly staff and delicious treats!“

“I got drip coffee ☕ and a mushroom cheese empanada. Dave got the yellow curry empanada 🥟. Both were very good. Baristas were helpful and polite. We met the owner, very welcoming.“

“Beautiful setting and perfect food. Best avocado toast I have had in a while. The croissant was flaky and the orange juice fresh. Superb!“

“Expensive coffee but worth it as the quality is outstanding and the service is always fast and efficient if you are in a hurry.“

“Excellent desserts and great service. However, the owner desperately needs to consider having two employees working the dessert counter. Having one employee making drinks and preparing desserts for patrons creates an unnecessarily long queue and overwhelms the worker on duty.“

“Absolutely love coming to Alma Cafe! My favorite is the alma with chorizo and the burger as well. Its all fantastic and consistently great service.“

“And a good selection of music on the box…“

“So, this was the morning before the big game (raiders vs saints - btw what a game huh?) We came in here wanting coffee and we got it. Easy transaction. The guy who serviced us was just so nice. Like holy heckaroo, that guy deserves to be in top level meetings about top level decision at huge, huge corporations and make a lot of money. His demeanor is so chill and logical. This was on Dec. 29th at 11am. He has a lot of tattoos, which I really dug! I'm thinking about getting some more tats myself and he inspired me even more.

The only knock on this nice little chill ass cafe, is that the staff services the consumers so much, in a way that you absolutely feel welcomed, but it causes a long line inside, bit of a wait time, and people sitting inside dont want to have a bunch of other people standing next to them while they are enjoying their coffee. Just makes it a bit uncomfortable, y'know? Also! The same guy servicing us gave me a large decaf instead of medium, which is great because he was accommodating me for the wait. Honestly, what a dude. No hate, all love.“

“We really enjoyed the cake here, it’s so good and soft. The drinks were also tasty and refreshing. The service was just okay. The staff seemed unsure about the menu and they’re confused which made ordering a little tricky. Still, the desserts and drinks were worth trying and with a bit more menu knowledge from the staff, this place could be even better.“

“The food here was amazing. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. I had the sausage and cheese biscuit with cheddar and tomato jam (pictured). It was divine.“

“Very pleasing atmosphere and love the aesthetics and beauty. Lots of gluten free and vegan options. There is respect for table spacing and social distancing in line while ordering. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“This was my favorite spot to get coffee and chill. The coffee was really good and slightly stronger than I am used to. The prices were fair. The staff were very helpful. The place was very cozy and has a courtyard oasis. Plenty of seating inside and limited seating in the courtyard. Parking is limited to street parking.“

“My first trip to NOLA I fell in love with the food I got from here…. Made me want to move from IL to LA. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Betsy’s. Even got to meet a few Leo’s“

“A must!! Every trip from now on! The food was delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.. great customer service too!!“
