Park Island Brew Coffee House

Hand's down, the worst dining experience I've ever had in New Orleans. I went there 2 days in a row this week. Having stopped going there a couple of years ago because of a drop in quality, I thought I'd see if anything's changed. On the first day, I asked for a toasted bagel with cream cheese & a hot drip coffee with half & half. The coffee was sour and bitter, and I asked the worker if there was espresso shots in my coffee, he said "yea, I ran out of coffee so I used espresso"... As someone who has a heart condition & high blood pressure, this is extremely concerning.

This morning, coffee was again, sour, bitter, and the "everything" toast was anything but. Brown oxidized avocado spread, unseasoned tomatoes and cheap oil drizzle. It's almost a shame those poor micro greens had to go out like that.

Also, the "chef" on the truck shouldn't be wearing crumb-covered socks & slides. It's unsanitary, and dangerous.

Delicious lattes and their cold brew is a 10/10!

I came here for the first time today and everyone was so sweet. I had the White Rose iced coffee and it was delicious. Perfect spot to get some work done. They have free wifi, and it is directly across from the Fairgrounds! Dont pass up this spot!!!

Stop in for a coffee right as they were closing. The owner prepared my beverage and told me about the brunch they offered on the weekends. She was very sweet and professional. The prices were more than reasonable and the coffee was sweet and tasty. I will be back.

Mr T makes the most delicious tea and coffee lattes. It is my favorite coffee shop in New Orleans. The Blossom was divine. The Midoriya matcha tea latte was a hug in a cup.

Stumbled upon this cozy coffee shop while in New Orleans. The Barista up front was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming and the coffee and donuts were fire! Would definitely recommend this place to get some work done!

Stumbled upon this coffee shop in Gentilly a few months ago. Ever since then, I’ve been stopping in to get “The Blossom” iced coffee. It’s so amazingly yummy w| notes of rose and lavender. I’m typically not the type to like such flavors in my coffee but The Blossom made me love it! Every time I walk in the door, she knows exactly what I would like to order!

I can say the appearance and esthetics of this place aren’t the best, but it’s a nice spot nonetheless. Locally owned in Gentilly right across from the track. Stop by and you won’t regret the coffee!!

had the madonna with pine jam and it changed my life

Places like this remind me that being “black owned” is not a badge of honor because the energy in there always feels off. The barista lady had an attitude and looked at me like I was crazy for asking if they had free wifi. She said I had to buy something, and I told her I didn’t drink coffee I just needed to get my work done, and she was so rude, seemed dissociated and so off-putting that she didn’t offer anything else besides coffee. I just felt so unwelcomed to be there and I’ve tasted your coffee before and it’s not redeeming enough to be so mean and seemingly unmotivated to serve customers. Oh and it’s the lady with the picture staring at her phone with airpods in her ear on your google photos. She was looking just like that when I walked in. Rude and Unengaged.

Rude staff

Edit 8 months later: still one star. The place was dirty and they don't have coffee at 8:30 AM.
