First off, the coffee is fantastic. It's consistently some of the best drip coffee in town - anywhere for that matter. I've had sooo many excellent cups here. I also like the espresso, but the drip brews are often thrilling. They also have a GREAT selection of baked good. Mmmmmmmm. Soooo good. The breakfast tacos also excellent. Service - great. Nice vibe. Nice patio and parking in back. The summer pool is hilarious. read more

Some of the best coffee in New Orleans. They have a ton of vegan and gluten free options (last time I went they had a gf, vegan blueberry muffin that was delicious!). For the non-coffee drinkers, they have matcha, smoothies, chai, etc that are all delicious. read more

An absolute gem! Coffee Science was a godsend on our family trip to New Orleans. It was conveniently located a block away from the Airbnb where we were staying and it was our first stop every morning. Friendly staff, good vibes, great coffee, and amazing treats! I looked forward to a new flavor of "punk" tart every day and have been dreaming of them ever since arriving home! read more

Went here for the first time on 10/31/21. They still require a mask upon entry. The customer service was nice and majority of drinks can be done either hot or cold. Flavored syrup: The only flavored syrup that was offered was vanilla and mocha I believe. I know for sure Caramel was not an option. I was a little disappointed that this common flavoring was not offered. Orders: We ordered a honey badger in both hot and cold, day of the dead donut and a sausage breakfast burrito. The honey badger was wayyyyyyyyyyyy too sweet. I tend to drink a lot of water so maybe sweetness tolerance level is a bit lower. But my BF agreed that his cold version of honey badger was still extremely sweet even with ice. The donut was different but in a good way, the texture was a mix between a muffin and a donut. The breakfast burrito tasted home made with appropriate amount of ingredients. It was not a slim burrito nor was it stuffed to capacity. It was also fresh and not overly flaky or a lot of dough. Building: The inside extends to a court yard with outdoor seating and vendors. The back area before the courtyard has a winery or brewery. Not sure because it was closed at 0830. Would give this place another try. I would probably ask about the sweetness level before ordering any drinks. read more

Absolutely love this place. The matcha latte was very light and came in such a large cup, I had to take it to-go. The chicken salad sandwich was delicious as well as the ingredients tasted super fresh. I also had the cold tomato soup, which definitely had a spicy punch to it. I like how there's also a seating area in the back porch and I also like how the tables inside are more towards the back as well. I feel that it makes a complete difference as the sounds from the coffee machines and such aren't as loud as other cafes. The only downside about the place is the parking. It's usually quite cramp and can be hard to find street parking. read more

I can't believe I've never been here before! I love that there's a front with music and more talking and also a back that's quieter with people working. Honestly I wanted to sit in the louder area, but there were only three small tables and they were all full. My friend and I sat in the back by the window and were talking, but we weren't too loud and didn't seem to bother anyone! There's a gorgeous outdoors area that looks to be a great place to have a gathering. It was nice to sit by the back window and look out onto. There's some bar seating outside as well. I got a yummy cappuccino with oat milk in a cute little mug, it was delicious! I also got their special of the day since it sounded so good! It was a veggie melt with butternut squash soup. That combination was to die for wow! I've only ever really done grilled cheese with tomato soup, this was a game changer! And weirdly, I loved their spoon it was like a mini ladle I just loved the shape read more

This is a quirky coffee shop with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The building was once a home, but has since been converted to an amazing spot to grab some coffee. The espresso here is great, but my only qualm is that it isnt served with sparkling water. Nonetheless, they have a ridiculous amount of coffee selections, and they can do drip, espresso, pour over, aeropress, or anything in between. I would recommend getting a pour over of the Ecuador by Switchback, and you cant go wrong! The staff is super friendly and open to answering any questions about what they are serving that day. The day's brews and espresso beans are written on the front window, and updated daily. The interior design and decor are clean and stylish. I will definitely be back! read more

I always need an extra boost to start my morning and their iced coffee is great. The vegetarian breakfast tacos are good-but go early as they pre-make them and stick them under a hot lamp. Deducting a star-the barista I've always been served by has the absolute worst attitude. I haven't been back in weeks because there is friendlier service elsewhere. read more

My favorite coffee place ever and I'm not even from New Orleans. Any time I'm in town i will make sure I'm able to come as often as possible. Iced Venetian cremes are delicious and I've never had a bad pastry from here. Some sell out quickly because there's only a set amount in the mornings. Parking isn't great, only on street, but cest la vie that's NOLA. They have local produce and other trinkets, etc from local artists. During Mardi Gras season, you can also buy king cakes that are top tier. The only time I've really had to wait was weekend mornings and even then I've had quick service. The only thing i wish is they had merch because I've made them Coffee Science whole personality. read more

I had the BEST time at the Art & Food market behind Coffee Science this past Sunday! I believe it's running every Sunday 9am-12pm through the summer and I highly recommend it! I will write separate reviews for some of my fave vendors but as for Coffee Science, I have never been disappointed, and I wanted to mention the market as I stumbled upon it after visiting Coffee Science on a Sunday. They even had a local bad, The Crybabies, playing on the porch; they were so good and so fun! I got a medium drip coffee and a wellness shot and both were stellar. There was a pretty long line but the staff at Coffee Science handled it with ease and were all happily masked and super nice and helpful. The wellness shot was SPICY and oh so good. Highly recommend Coffee Science for locals and out of towners. 5 stars. Great coffee! read more

Fantastic coffee. I'm gonna suggest something I never thought I would suggest when it comes to coffee.... try the drip. It's shocking how complex and balances it is. The science side of this place's name shines in their drip coffee. It is on par with the best pour overs out there. Yes. That's correct. I just said that the drip coffee at Coffee Science is equal and, in some cases, better than the beat pour overs out there in this world of third wave little brown bean madness. The best drip coffee I've ever tasted. AND they feature a WIDE selection of the best offerings from local roasters, from Mojo, Congregation, and many more read more

Super friendly service, parking available, and wonderful quality coffee/tea. There are tables in the front, bigger ones in the back, and outdoor seating as well. This is a great place to study or just hang out with friends. I've spotted quite a few adorable pups in my several times there too, which can really cheer you up while doing work! I typically get their hot Jasmine tea, which is brewed fresh and very strong... so don't forget to pour out your tea after a set amount of time. You can also bring your pot up to get more hot water when you finish. I get 2-3 cups out of it each time. They have samples of baked goods sometimes at the register, so you can't help but pick up a slice of banana bread as well! read more

Hump day help from one of the best coffee shops in New Orleans: @coffeesciencenola. Also, this place offers breakfast tacos, soooo you can recover from a late night Taco Tuesday with an early morning iced coffee and more tacos to help you get through the week. Coming back for those tacos this weekend - - - Oh, and this iced coffee definitely made me late to work. This iced coffee was also one of the best iced coffees I've had, so completely worth the glare from my boss ‍ read more

We absolutely loved Coffee Science! We stopped here on our way back home to Houston. The coffee was great, the place is cute, service was friendly, and I loved the peaches and cream danish. Definitely worth the stop in! read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon to check out this rather new coffee shop. The place was well lit and looked pretty modern. I ordered a regular Hot Mocha and was admiring the place. The owner sprung into action and made my Mocha firsthand. He was super nice and has been in the coffee business for over 30 years! He really knew what he was talking about and happily answered a few of my coffee questions. After taking my Mocha to a table and taking multiple pictures, I eventually took a sip of it. It was delicious and tasted stronger than most of the mochas I get from other places! I knew this was gonna wake me up to continue on with my productive day. When I finished my coffee, I walked to the hallway to find the restroom and found a much bigger room with a bunch of tables. I had no idea that the place was much bigger with a back porch! There is also free wifi for those who wants to study at this nice coffee shop. Before I left, I noticed a drawing of a pool and I asked the owner if the shop had a pool! He said he makes a small pool for locals to cool down in this New Orleans summer heat on the weekends! How nice does that sound?! On the same paper with the drawing, there are a few options of Breakfast Tacos. The owner said to come before 10AM because they usually sell out! He also mentioned that there's a parking lot on the side on Banks St. I checked it out and it looks like one of the house's driveway, so don't miss the entrance for it! Overall, it is a nice new coffee shop to check out! I will be back for more coffee and maybe the breakfast tacos one day! read more

Gave this place 3 stars but I would like to make it 2.5 simply because this is literally the first coffee shop I've been to that doesn't offer sugar packets or access to creamer. I know it's covid times but I don't think it was even an option. Luckily I ordered a cappuccino but my husband ordered a large Americano and needed some cream. When he asked, unfortunately it wasn't something that was easily provided. Also asked for sugar and received a half cup of sugar... We're from outta town and this place was nearby but just FYI, BYOCreamer and BYOSugarPackets. Breakfast tacos are yummy tho. Grab salsa from IDEAL market a block away and you'll be set. read more

Coffee Science - Bavarian Creme - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Consistently delicious! High quality ingredients. So tasty. The BLT and bacon breakfast burrito are sooo good. I usually hate raw tomato but for some reason I love theirs! The baked goods are great too. The seasonal pumpkin mocha muffin is my favorite, but the Madeline donut, fruit danish, and punktarts are also really good. I've enjoyed all their drinks but the venetian cream is my go to, I get it every time. Love you coffee science, never change! read more

I feel like I've been had - I walked up to get a few bagels to go - ordered 4 - i asked how much but he didn't answer me - I was presented with a bag of 4 frozen bagels and the cost was $12.19 WTF ??? I was in shock - but confused - I paid cash left the change making it $13.00 for 4 frozen bagels - got in car still stunned - my husband wasn't too pleased either - what could I do - drive off feeling scammed - they better be good ! I pay $1.00 usually - Covid has me feeling sorry for small biz- I'm not doing so well myself - should have refused them - I didn't want to make a scene with people behind me - Lesson learned ? Yes always ask price first and WAIT for the answer ! read more

This place really adds to the coffee scene in Mid City. I'm told the owner helped develop the coffee scene in New Orleans and his coffee shop definitely displays that - the basic drip is beyond great and I haven't had a coffee drink I'm not a fan of here. Space: The place has a front and a back for indoor seating. A decent number of larger tables make this place great for studying / hanging out with friends / etc. Lighting inside is great. They also have a backyard with some uncovered seating and a few bar seats under a patio roof. Parking/etc: Two bathrooms. Great wifi. Decent parking (although a bit tight). They run community events often, although I personally can't speak to them as I haven't been able to make one. They've recently started entering into the brunch world so I'm pretty curious to see how that grows. read more

Coffee Science - Whatever it is, there doing a great job. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I absolutely love this spot. I never liked the taste of coffee until I had it from coffee science! They've added some new food items that are freaking delicious. Try the Cubanola and the fumi salad. You won't be disappointed. read more

Coffee Science is a super great local spot! It's open until 11pm every day which is nice when you need some caffeine later in the day but want something smaller than Starbucks with cool brews. They've got so many different types of coffee, you can choose which beans you want and the style- pour over, french press, aeropress, you name it, they've got it! It's nice to be able to try a coffee bean with the way you would make it at home before you buy a bag of it, which is one of my favorite parts of Coffee Science. Plus, all the employees are super personable and knowledgeable about coffee and all their products and are more than happy to answer your questions, but not in a snobby way at all. It's a great place to stop by and do work- plenty of outlets, grab a drink to go, or stay for a bit outside on the covered porch or in the back yard at one of the picnic tables. Only qualm is that parking isn't always super easy to come by. As far as actual coffee goes, love their espresso (I do wish it was served with sparkling water instead of still), they've got a ton of fun beans to try that rotate, and they're always happy to suggest a cup if you're not sure of what you're feeling. read more

NO FU**kin WFI!!!! What the actual fu_____!!! In mid-city for work the next 2 years and wont be coming back... What kind of coffee shop doesn't have Wi-Fi?? Less than 2 miles from TWO universities. Would give 1 star but the coffee was good read more

I'm a little embarrassed by how long it's taken me to review this place when it's one of the most exciting and best additions to the New Orleans coffee scene in the last year. The coffee is great - even a basic drip is much more than basic. The venetian and bavarian creams are particularly delightful and unique coffee drinks found here. They run a tad sweet so I don't usually get them but when I do it's a real treat. The interior space is really nice and there's a backyard if you want to hang out and get some fresh air. They do have a parking lot which is convenient unfortunately you'll often get blocked in by an inconsiderate neighbor. Both times that's happened thought the staff has been very responsive and helpful. Even though I don't live nearby I do enjoy coming here a lot. They have a great little shop that manages to serve killer coffee without being pretentious and the employees seem to actually care if you're enjoying yourself. It's a great spot to study, get work done or just catch up with a friend. As they expand their food options I can't wait to see in what new and exciting directions they grow. read more

Tom, the owner, knows his stuff! One thing I truly respect about him is that he doesn't mind sharing his secrets and educating anyone and everyone who wants to learn, including his knowledgeable staff. His coffee is top notch in how it's prepared, it's literally a science, hence the name of his shop. The way in which they brew your coffee of choice will ensure to pull out the flavor profiles of each bean. Try out whatever they recommend for you! His coffee is absolutely the best in NOLA and it's worth the short travel outside of the party scene. I left there after trying a pour over, shot of espresso, and his made-in-house lemonade. All were delicious! I also had to grab all the merchandise he had available. If you're a coffee enthusiast, it's a no brainer! It will be the best you'll get in NOLA. read more

Hypothesis: This place is significantly better than most other coffee shops. Based on my very robust analyses, I found that p is less than 0.05, suggesting that Coffee Science is in fact significantly better than most coffee shops. But seriously, the coffee here is top notch. I got a Bavarian Creme. It was so addicting - I barely even took a breath while slurping it down. I'm quite picky when it comes to sweetened coffee drinks, but the Bavarian Creme was one of the best sweet coffee drinks I've ever had. Definitely ticking into what I would classify as almost a dessert drink, but you can still taste the espresso and it's not cloyingly sweet, which I find most sweetened drinks to be. It's balanced nicely with the richness of the milk and chocolate. Besides the beautiful coffee, I also want to shout out their general aesthetic. They have some seating inside, but their outside patio area is *chefs kiss* magnificent. If you aren't already following them on social media, you should check out their instagram! They're doing amazing things supporting other local small businesses and hosting cool events. Coffee Science, I Lutetium Vanadium you! read more

By. Far. The. Best. Coffee. I've. Had. In. Nola. Seriously guys coffee science blew it out of the park with their Venetian Creme coffee! If you like coconut milk and sweet drinks - you'll really enjoy this. My roommate ordered the Bavarian Creme coffee which included ghiradelli chocolate - she loved it. Only thing I'll say is for the price the coffee is pretty small. Regardless, I will definitely be coming back :) read more

So delighted to stop in. More than just a coffee shop, there's surprises everywhere. Loved their extensive coffee menu, health "shots", a wine selection, meats, ice cream pints for sale, bagels, breakfast burritos, fresh produce...wow!

The coffee is amazing! I'm a huge fan of the Bavarian Crème, Venetian Crème, and the dirty chai. My only complaint is the customer service. The girls there are often very short with me and other customers. Seem to have a bad morning every morning. I did run into Pierce Brosnan there last week though so that was cool. read more

My friend suggested stopping here for coffee on Sunday afternoon. Parking is a little tight in front. If you drive around the back, they have a small lot and you can go in through the back door. The owner was working at the counter. He was very friendly and informative. He gave us a sample of their Venetian Cream drink that is his specialty. It was very good. I love when places let you sample the drinks first. They have plenty of tables indoors, as well as a small back patio. Beyond the patio, there is even a backyard with chaise lounges and a hammock between the shade trees! Great place! I'm sure I will visit again. read more

I love this place - I keep forgetting to check in because I'm always distracted by getting coffee - lol. Located on a super busy stretch of Broad street this place is easy to miss. Don't do that. Parking is difficult on the street, but that's not a worry - there is a small lot in the back off of banks street. Owned by a former co-owner of the legendary Kaldi's in the French Quarter, it offers the same serious approach to coffee with 2018 cleanliness -bwahaha. It's a serious coffee house and I'm in love with it. The narrow front opens to a nice back room that is light, bright, has plenty of tables, wi-fi and a consistently great sound track in the background. As I entered the other day, I was asked to do a favor - please finish this last little part of mocha frosted.... yum!!!! Tom didn't want to throw out the last little bit left in the blender - hello- nice. The place is fun, the owner, Tom is delightful, and the focus is on coffee - which I appreciate. It's not some b-s hipster nouveau coffee - it's really focused on the science of coffee (hence the name - yes - I know - captain obvious). Nice array of snacks available and plans are in the works to become environmentally friendly by possibly having reusable cups, etc to reduce waste and encourage participation in that area. More to come on that topic in a few months. The future is bright - good coffee, great music, excellent space and great people. Always a winning combination. Go - just go. read more

Very good espresso drink and nice place. It opens up in the back. Tried something not on the menue the honey badger and it was very good a little sweet but great and nice presentation. The barista is a little flustered and shy but nice dude. Definitely needs a menu of the specialty espresso drinks. Possibly come back just to try the cubanola which looks good. read more

Hands down the best coffee house in New Orleans. It's not a roastery (the top two are Congregation & Mojo BTW). What Tom does is get the best coffee in the city, and finds the best way to brew each individual varietal. Everything that goes into each cup has a process behind it--to the extra filtered water (reverse osmosis & mineral infused to be exact), to uniquely grinding & brewing beans differently. Even bringing different preparations to different beans from the same roastery. Tom really knows his craft--he's spent decades getting ready to have a space on his own to show his expertise. Location is good. The shop is exceptionally clean. And parking is tight, but there's always street parking around the corner. If you want to see New Orleans coffee culture, this place has to be on your list. read more
