“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I came here because of a recommendation, and I am SO glad I did. Customer service was exceptional, baristas were incredibly friendly. It's located in a small mini mart with a bagel/deli type establishment. I believe they get their coffee from Pretty Coffee. I ordered a plain drip and a hot vanilla latte. They have whole and oat milk, and offer vanilla, lavender, maple and mocha syrups. Drip is very smooth and has a nice mouth feel. Espresso is very good as well. Milk texture on my latte was perfect. I also ordered a bag of their coffee. You get a card for a free coffee when you buy their coffee beans.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Friendly barista, great iced coffee!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great coffee-shop ambience for relaxation with friends.“

“Freshly roasted on site coffee!“

“I can’t recommend Victoria’s Bakery enough…GO THERE…you won’t be disappointed! As a former pastry chef who made viennoiseries (croissants and puff pastry) and other French baked goods from scratch, I can say this place is amazing! The croissants shatter when you bite into them, the napoleon is a fun tale with fresh fruit, and the diplomat cream in the cannoncini is perfectly light and creamy. The pastry cream in the tarts is perfectly set, and the tart shell isn’t soggy at all and has a perfect flakiness. The mocha (I had it with oat milk) was absolutely wonderful! We were in New Orleans with the intention of visiting as many places as possible, and tried not to repeat visits to the same place, but Victoria’s Bakery was so good that we returned 3 separate times to enjoy the different pastries!“

“I had a fantastic latte here this morning. I love having such a fantastic coffee shop so close to my house“

“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!“

“Amazing gluten free food!!! It’s hard to stay GF in NO so we were so happy to find Bons and in a great location too!“

“Great place to sit outside and people watch“

“I really can't say enough good things about this place. I started going here roughly 6 years ago when I started grad school at the University of New orleans. It's my absolute favorite bakery. Everything they have is delicious. I literally have never had anything bad at this bakery. The gelato is incredible. The sweets are great. The Spumoni is incredible. The people are incredibly friendly. I've come in so many times by now that they know me. Absolutely wonderful place. It's usually so don't be surprised if there is a bit of a line, but it's absolutely worth it. If you know the right times to pop in, however, you can walk right up without any wait. Prices are beyond reasonable. I will get a box of stuff and it will be around $20. Great place to take a date if they don't mind a little bit of a crowd from time to time. Highly recommend brocato's. I will continue to be a patron as long as possible. I'm literally leaving the bakery now with the bag full of goodies.“

“Friendly barista, great iced coffee!“

“They are very very good. For you & me. To“
