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

“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.“

“Delicious and great wait staff“

“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!“

“Great espresso, nice spot.“

“Great food and coffee. Recommended!!“

“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!“

“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 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 !“

“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.“

“Its a great place to shop and dine .“

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

“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.“

“I don't think us puppets, had a thing on the menu , we didn't like. very nice atmosphere and 😁 friendly.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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 love it they have the best pancakes in the world the hospitality is endless and please take it from me when I say that I am born and raised in New Orleans the steak and eggs biscuit or croissant or toast with pepper jack cheese is scrumptious“

“This place is loaded with incredible food options that are healthy while still feel flavorful, fun, and freaking delicious. Cannot recommend the PB&J smoothie and the Southwest bowl enough!!“

“Good breakfast place in the French Quarter.“

“I love the new take on classic pastries here. The service was fun and friendly when we visited on Halloween. We had an amazing citrus pastry and breakfast on sweet potato bun that was outstanding. I was a bit disappointed in the corn muffin because would have been better served warm. I am looking forward going here again.“

“I worked for a start-up in 2016. We worked out of the back of Who Dat Cafe until we had an office space. The coffee and pastries were incredible. I think I lived on wedge salads and the French onion soup. The staff was so nice and accommodating to us. Sitting and chatting when the afternoons were slower. I’m gonna stop in this weekend for a mug. Who Dat Cafe will always be special to me.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Coffee, food, service & atmosphere were a 10/10!“

“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.“

“This place is great. Everyone working there is so friendly. Also, this coffee shop is always the “right” amount of busy — you can always find a place to sit but there’s also a good handful of regulars around. 10 out of 10 for a local neighborhood staple.“

“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.“

“I had a great stay at The Drifter Hotel, a place I had been dying to check out since before COVID. This is not your traditional French Quarter experience. This is a much cooler, intimate place to stay that has both a quite, relaxed atmosphere, along with tons of programming, music, and more. Ty, India and Royce were amazing, making sure I was comfortable at all times. Whether you're staying for just a night between accommodations, or a full week in NOLA, I definitely recommend the Drifter!“

“Friendly barista, great iced coffee!“

“The Best! Thank you Aunt Dotti and David.William and Victoria loved the Canoli cake! The rehearsal dinner people loved it!“

“Wonderful food and wonderful service. I give this place a 10/10!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“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.“

“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“
