Disappointed that some things were off menu, but ended up with delicious muffins and coffee. Sat at an outside table to enjoy.

I've tried to support this place over the years but unfortunately it's just not good. The service is ridiculously slow, the gentleman at the register (the owner?) cannot get an order right and has an attitude while doing it. The coffee is OK if you're willing to wait forever but the pastries are all heated up via microwave which makes them soggy and disgusting. Would not recommend.
Edited to say the slow service is an every visit issue, and today in particular I was one of only three people in line so if that's what this place calls "slammed" I think that explains everything. And being "slammed" is never an excuse for a disgruntled attitude.

I just ordered a large white chocolate mocha coffee, and I have to say it is the best I have ever had! I will definitely be returning!

Just ordered a medium vanilla flavored cappuccino for $5.50. When I picked up the cup it felt empty. The trick to ripping off the customer is to froth the hell out of it so it fills the cup with foam. Great, let the foam settle down and the cup is practically empty. I won’t be back.

Definitely not customer friendly! Well-intentioned advice: do something where you don't have contact with people.

A clean, modern decor that is well-lit and well run. The pastries are great, the barista drinks perfect, and the music pleasant. A real gem in the neighborhood!

A classic coffee shop; my favorite latte in NOLa. You will always meet friendly people and dogs in here, as well as people reading actual books! The owner, Fred, is as nice a guy as you’ll ever meet. Good pastries and outdoor seating.

Rude and racist barista. Wouldn’t recommend.

I recently visited The Orange Couch and had a truly appalling experience.From the moment we interacted with the barista, we were met with hostility. He was incredibly mean and even went as far as to insult us. When we requested an additional cup, he began yelling, claiming it wasn't eco-friendly.Shockingly, he then poured my friend's drink down the sink, despite her having done nothing to provoke such behavior. As my third friend tried to de-escalate the situation, the barista continued to yell and demanded that we leave the shop. The situation escalated to the point where other clients, who seemed to be friends of the barista, started filming us.To make matters worse, my friend was openly insulted on the barista’s social media afterward. I have proof of this behavior and can provide evidence if needed. This behavior is absolutely nonsensical and unprofessional.I have never encountered such disrespectful, racist, and aggressive behavior in my life, especially not in my 10+ years living in Europe. This incident was not only upsetting but also unacceptable.I have attempted to contact the owner multiple times to discuss this matter but have received no response. This lack of communication only adds to the disappointment and frustration.The behavior of the staff is disgraceful, and I urge others to think twice before visiting.I am available to discuss this incident further if needed.

Terrible rude barista. Said a racist comment to customers. Do not go.

I had a disappointing experience at this coffee shop. Despite being excited to try their drinks, the barista's rude behavior towards my friends and I soured the visit. We expected better customer service and a welcoming atmosphere. Hopefully, they address this issue to ensure all customers feel valued.

Guy was super rude. Wish I didn't tip. Asked for tap water and gave me an attitude when I asked, there was supposed to be a pitcher out, sorry you didn't do your job and had to get me a cup of water. It was hot too! Bro it's 80+ degrees out of course I'm gonna ask for some cold water
