50 Best Coffee Shops in New Orleans

“Relaxing atmosphere! OAN Of course those Beignets!“

“A nice upscale and comfortable environment for learning more about Irish immigrants coming to New Orleans. Wonderful history and even better tastes of Ireland. The espresso martini and Irish lemonade are really refreshing and delicious.“

“My family and I absolutely love this place. We go to the Elmwood location most of the time! The staff is always friendly and helpful! Our only issue is we never know what to choose from because it’s all so good! Thank you District Donuts for always keeping your standards high and food fresh!“

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

“I recently rediscovered this gem a few weeks ago. The service is fantastic great selection of beverages and snacks. The Mushroom Boom is sooooo dang delicious! Then there is the added space to meet, gather, read a book etc. Perfect!“

“☕️ Came into The Gospel Coffee and Boozy Treats today for my usual frozen mocha, which is basically their version of a mocha frappuccino, and listen… that thing disappears so fast every time I get one I start wondering if I even ordered a large 😂

Two of my favorites were working the counter today, Caroline and Cheyenne, and they always make the place feel welcoming. Customer service matters at coffee shops because before caffeine kicks in, some of us are out here fighting for survival 😭☕️

I came in around noon on a Tuesday and it wasn’t crowded at all. They’ve got seating for around 12 people, so it’s a cool little spot if you want to chill, answer emails, scroll social media, or pretend to work while really people watching 👀💻

One underrated thing about this place is the Wi Fi. The Wi Fi in The Gospel be WORKING working. Sometimes I feel like my phone gets stronger signal in here than at home 😂

I’ve had their blueberry muffin before and it’s always on point. Soft, fresh, and actually tastes homemade instead of those muffins that fight back when you bite them 🫐🧁 I also keep seeing the bacon egg and cheese sandwiches come out the kitchen looking good enough to make me break every diet plan I’ve ever made 🥓🍳🧀

Overall, quick service, friendly staff, great frozen coffee, solid atmosphere, and dependable Wi Fi. Definitely one of my favorite little coffee run spots in the area. I’ll definitely be back 🙌“

“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.“

“very nice stop for coffee if your visiting The Ogden or Contemporary Arts Center.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“First time visit. I love the mango slush and the gardens. I enjoyed a beautiful drink with a friend sitting in the beautiful garden.“

“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!“

“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.“

“There may be no better city in North America for Pirates to Gather than New Orleans and the French Quarter in particular...the history, the atmosphere, the attitude and the hospitality all come together to create an event that you won't forget and that you will want to repeat by bringing MORE friends with you the next time.“

“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!“

“Stopped into St. Noir while I was in the area, it was a lovely visit. I know one of the owners, who is a pure sweetheart— she happened to be there the other day when I stopped in so I was happy to see her face. The space feels welcoming and the vibe is cozy and relaxed. I ordered a hot chocolate with a side of double espresso, both were perfect. Always a treat to stop by whenever I’m nearby.“

“Quintessential Marigny coffee shop. Fell in love with a divine maple latte last fall I never minded waiting 20 minutes in line for. Eclectic crowd, packed liked sardines; barista’s look like extras from a Nirvana video. You’re as likely to find a vintage clothing sale outside as you are a chess game, or neighborhood denizens passing a joint around on the stoops outside. Excellent pours. The coffee never disappoints, but the ambiance makes the place.“

“Delicious espresso old fashioned!!“

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

“how to excellent frozen coffee drink here great place good people. This place is uniquely New Orleans.“

“Such a fun little place with great pastries, sandwiches, and coffee.“

“Decent little café with lots of plants and good coffee. A little bare and the pastries were sold out by 11am. Chai was VERY spicy. My bourbon maple syrup latte was pretty good. The menu had your basic coffee options and some special ones. There were about two or three people working. There is some street parking out front and we found parking around the corner. Be cautious about all the one way streets. It was about a 6 minute drive from Caesars Palace.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our second time here and we love it! Alonna, our server, was the best! Red beans and rice with biscuit is mouthwatering! Fried shrimp was delicious! We’re taking gumbo and beignets with us.“

“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.“

“Friendly barista, great iced coffee!“

“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.“

“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.“
