Ended up here after finding out Willie Mae's Scotchouse was closed for the day. Ordered two of their breakfast meals, the catfish, the lamb chops and a Miss Tracy's addiction iced coffee. Both breakfast meals came with eggs and grits and the portion was enough to feed 2. The catfish was very good and the grits were delicious!! However, the lamb chops were very salty, but still good and perfectly cooked. The Miss Tracy's Addiction... I was surprised how the mix of coffee, cayenne pepper, honey worked so well. I was a very interesting drink. The staff is super nice and attentive. Overall, great customer service, solid food and good coffee!
Think of a traditional coffee shop. Then add a full bar. And a DJ. And hookah service. Also sprinkle in a few sections available for birthday brunch parties. Add all of that together, and you get Addiction Coffee House! This was another stop on the brunch tour my friend and I have been on. The ambiance was cool, the DJ did a nice job establishing the vibe of the atmosphere. Drinks: this place makes the STRONGEST lemon drop I have ever had!! I literally had to slowly sip and pace myself because wow-- the bartenders are certainly heavy handed! Food: if the vibe wasn't enough reason for me to return, the food certainly was an added bonus! I ordered the lamb chop breakfast which was accompanied by grits. eggs, and a little fruit. Delicious! Well seasoned, and aesthetically pleasing. The lamb chops were so tender, it was like cutting butter. I easily cleaned my plate! My friend ordered the chicken and waffles (yes, the waffles are shaped like what you think they're shaped like lol). She raved about her meal also; especially regarding how seasoned the fried chicken was! My only 2 disappointments are that they do not (at least while we were there) have a working air conditioner. There were large fans throughout the building, and it was a summer day in New Orleans which necessitates air conditioning! The portions were also small given the price of the food, thus resulting in my 4/5 star review! Nonetheless, I think you should check out this black owned business!
I really wanted to give this place a higher score because their food wasn't bad. But there was no-one in this place prior to our group arriving and it took over 1 hr and 30 min to get our food. We were greeted by a young lady who clearly seamed loss. Once some back up came we started to get some movement. Water, coffee and lemon aid that was sent back came 45 min after we sat down. Half of our group stayed the other half left. The ambience was giving im High and you should understand if I'm slow.
The Addiction is a lovely and eclectic coffee shop! Their prices are no more than you might see at a Starbucks chain, but the atmosphere is so much better. They're pretty big inside, but they also have a wonderful space outdoors equipped with heaters, so you can enjoy it in the chillier weather too. Their backyard was just a very fun space with ponds and sitting areas, but also with animals! They have a goat and a rooster roaming around, and pigs in a pen across the pond (no access to the pigs). The rooster wouldn't let me pet him, but the goat was SO friendly! I could pet her all day! Don't worry, it doesn't smell like a farm there at all because it's so clean and well maintained. Their coffee itself was fantastic! I got plain old mocha, which was great, but what really stole the show was my boyfriend's coffee "Miss Tracy's Addiction". It's their specialty item with coconut milk, regular milk, honey, and cayenne pepper. It seemed too adventurous for me, but it was AMAZING when I stole a sip! Rich, some sweetness, and a tiny kick to top it off. Highly recommend this! I wanted to try their food items, but they weren't offering food until 11am. They have a barbecue house next door, and that's where the food is made. If it's anything like their coffee, I bet it'll be delicious! The staff serving us was helpful and friendly. He was careful to ask about which type of milk my boyfriend needed (cow, oat, almond, or coconut), and he was very informative about the shop itself! I LOVED this coffee shop!
I stopped in to do some streaming. I really like the environment and the décor. It is not the quiet coffee shop I was expecting; it's really loud. I thought the food was decent but over priced.
I came here the other day for breakfast because I seen someone post it on IG. I really enjoyed my food and I loveeee the hospitality if the staff. The only reason I am giving this a 4/5 stars is because it was a bit hot in there and they had a box fan on the floor. If you know NOLA in the summer time, it gets HOT so a hot fan without blasting AC is kinda scarce in comfortable. Also I just wish the food Potion was a bit bigger for the price. But all in all... Will I go back... YES! It's black owned, served liquor in a coffeeshop and idk what they put in them damn grits but is was BUSSIN' sheessh. I don't eat cheese grits but I ate them that day. Good God!!! also I want to see what this place is like over the weekend because they have hookah and a DJ and that sounds like a V I B E. See you all soon.
Just here trying different brunches since we're foodies and love supporting black businesses. The food was good. They were just opening and we love beating the crowds. Waiter was a cool guy. I will return to try more of the entrees like lunch or dinner menu.
This place is amazing. The food and presentation were fantastic! I'll be sure to add this to my New Orleans itinerary moving forward. Try the gumbo grits!
Chicken and Banana Foster Waffles The food and atmosphere satisfies work and leisure. Mrs. Tracy and her team's attention to detail and service is the best in the city! Plainly stated, I love this place!!!!
This was our choice restaurant on Sunday morning after church. My husband and I treated well. This place is for a younger crowd, but we still enjoyed the service and food.
I'm visiting from San Francisco and I came here for their New Orleans cold brew. It's so delicious and their service is amazing.

Don't think I have ever seen a coffee shop in a more sketchy place than this one. There are several tents under the freeway bridges across the fast paced service road. We didn't feel comfortable or safe enough to get out of the car at all. No way. Not willing to risk a visit here for a coffee or raspberry or blueberry cheese danish. read more

I have the bougiest breakfast of my life here! The decor is rustic yet hip. They play throwback 90's jams. The service here is excellent I got recommended this Shrimp and grits breakfast that was incredible. The crab was a nice touch! Definitely come here it's worth the walk! read more

Pretty cool spot. We visited on a Saturday morning around 10 am. The online hours said they opened at 7am but when we arrived the employee told us they had a few maintenance issues and would be opening shortly. We decided to stand outside and wait. It took about 20 minutes for him to open. We were the only people there. The employee was the only one there as well. He told us to sit anywhere and come order at the bar when ready. He ended up being the chef, waiter, and only employee there. The decor and music was nice. We were given complimentary bottle water which was nice. We ordered the iced Ms. Tracey coffee drink and the iced New Orleans coffee with added French vanilla. I didn't care for the Ms. Tracey drink at all. My fault for not paying attention to the ingredients. I prefer sweet and this had more of a spicy taste. The other drink was good. They use paper straws which I don't really care for. For food I wanted Lamb chops but the chef said the ones on the grill were the last ones available. I ended up ordering the shrimp and grits and then we did the steak and waffles. Both were kind of expensive but included eggs with the shrimp and grits and grits and eggs with the steak and waffles. The waffle were shaped cute. We had a marijuana shaped one and a flower shaped one. The waffles were cute but taste more like pancakes. But they were pretty good. My husband T-bone steak was just okay. Nothing he would get again. The presentation of the shrimp and grits was fantastic but the taste just wasn't there. Overall this is a nice spot. The chef was friendly and gave us a history of the business and business owners. He told us about Sunday brunch and other weekday specials. I love supporting black owned businesses so I will probably return and try the lamb chops and a different coffee. I would make sure to visit on a Sunday next time. read more
So I'm late to the party...but I finally made it! First drove by the original location in the quarter and saw a sign for a unique coffee drink crafted with honey and cayenne. I made a mental note and misfiled it apparently, because I just now tried this same concoction in the current location off Claiborne! My tongue is tingling in a satisfying way, and the name Addiction is apropos because I'm already craving another. read more

Okay. This place was so cool. We went in at a super quiet time and had the whole spot to ourselves. Our server, Corshaya (I probably spelled that SO wrong and I'm sorry ) was so accommodating. You can tell they all vibe together there. Everybody came over to check on us and make sure we were happy. The fried chicken, and I'm not exaggerating, was the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. Idk how they mastered the perfectly crispy outside with the juicy, perfectly cooked inside but oh man, they nailed it. We had the signature coffee drink, Miss Tracy's Addiction, and I loved that. The person I was with doesn't like coconut, and they still loved it, in spite of the coconut milk. So creamy and well-balanced. Not too sweet, and you could still taste the coffee perfectly in the flavor mix. Shaya gave us a ton of great recommendations for our trip and filled us in on the different districts. Thanks for all your help!! read more

As a travel agent , I'm big on customer service and great food. The restaurant was closed after Mardi Gras and google said they were open. The owner saw us there and opened up just for us and laid out a meal that left me comatose lol. I called the platter a mega brunch sampler. We had fried catfish, bacon, fried chicken, French toast, eggs, and shrimp and grits. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in New Orlean!! Thank you so much for taking great care of us!!! read more

It was AWESOME! We stayed at RV camp near, so it was really close. Food and coffee was simply amazing. It was first cold day of the year and heat wasn't on yet, so we were freezing but definitely worth it. read more

After finding out that this place recently reopened, I had to check it out! I saw the overwhelming amount of good reviews, so I was excited to try the coffee. Walking in, the place looked really unique, well lit, and spacious. I saw an open kitchen, but I was not sure if they sold food. There was a small overhead coffee menu, but I found a paper menu with full descriptions of the coffee and food items. I ordered Miss Tracy's Addiction after seeing so many people write about it in their reviews. It was such a unique coffee with espresso, steamed coconut milk, steamed milk, honey, and some cayenne. It was a hot coffee with cayenne giving it an extra kick. One sip and I was like, "Woah." Another sip and my eyes widened. Halfway into my coffee, I thought to myself, "I'm addicted now. I get the shop's name now!" I got up and ordered myself an Iced Mocha because I just had to have more of their creations! I was drinking them simultaneously and I was so in love. I felt like I had ying and yang in my hands with my hot and cold coffees. Since my coffees were so good, I was curious of how the food was. I ordered the Feta Grilled Chicken PC Spinach as my entree and I just had to have the Banana Foster French Toast as a dessert for myself. The owner whipped up the grilled chicken dish and I was so amazed with the presentation. It looked like it was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and just looked downright delicious! My assumptions were right, that was such a glorious grilled chicken with a nice balance of greens, protein, and seasonings. I could not believe I got this dish from a coffee shop! I would be paying an arm and a leg at one of the finer places in New Orleans for a similar dish. Now it was time for the Banana Foster French Toast. She did not think I was going to be still hungry after the chicken dish, but I wanted to try more and more things! The french toast had a great presentation as well. It was a nice portion and she used french bread, which I thought was perfect for the dish. It was topped with plenty of bananas and a generous amount of syrup. Everything was simply excellent! Overall, a great coffee shop to grab delicious coffee and lunch! I cannot believe it took me this long to finally try this place out. I have to bring my friends and family here so they can experience the wonderful time I had here. I came here for the coffee, but left happily full with a great lunch! Come check this place out! read more

Perhaps it was the fact that twice, I stopped by during normal business hours and twice, they were closed without notice. Perhaps it was the fact that I skipped the namesake Miss Tracy's Addiction, a coconut/coffee/cayenne extravaganza that seems to cause post-coital tremors to we, the laydrinkers of caffeinated beverages. Perhaps it was the fact that I took my drink to go, and did not fully absorb the quirky ambiance. Like, how the central light fixture was an upside-down Christmas tree from which Eleven breached a trans-dimensional void to steal my waffle. Leggo my Eggo, Eleven! (Stranger Things ref a lie; upside-down Christmas tree, however, is real.) Perhaps it was the fact that my cold brew tasted too heavily of unroasted chicory. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. A-OK is about right. Perhaps it was the dearth of oft-mentioned baked goods. Read: none. Zero baked goods available. Whatever the reason, I just didn't get the five-star juju many other Yelpers have in my visit to Addiction (on the third of three tries). C'est la vie, mon amie. read more

Did addiction ever reopen or does Yelp have it right as closed?
So, although it was listed as closed when we went, they actually moved next door, to the barbecue place. Tracy was there, and we had our fix!
Is the coffee shop closed? I went by today and it wasn't open and the inside looked to be in a bit of disarray.
Hey, they are currently renovating that place. Right now you can grab coffee next door it's a BBQ place. I know.. confusing but the owner owns both places and last time I was there they told me to come next door for addiction coffee
