It's a shame that we only just got around to visiting Coffee Science because we live close by and we've been missing out on delicious coffee for a while, now. Every Friday my husband brings me a Bavarian Cream. I can't tell you what's in it but I know it involves coconut but it doesn't taste like it and it's heavenly. It's silky and and sweet and goes down easy. My husband doesn't really like coffee that deviates from the norm but he really liked it, also. Just try it! 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

Super cute spot with really great coffee! I live in ATL but was recently visiting NO and happened upon Coffee Science. I am a sucker for a new coffee shop. Coffee Science opened in Jan 2018. The location is clean and modern and plays to the concept of "coffee science" by displaying test tubes, beakers,etc. Very creative. I believe my barista was wearing a lab coat, too. I stopped in twice in one weekend and each time the coffee was superb. I could taste an underlying fruitiness in one of the cups. It was amazing and perfectly brewed. I didn't have a whole lot of time to converse with the men working there because I was in a rush, but I wish I would have. I want to know more about where they source their beans, their concept, etc. I also have to make mention of the perfect blueberry scones they offer. Yum! They also have a variety of other pasty items but I stuck with the scone on both visits. Parking was available on the street each time I stopped in. I am not sure if they have a lot. I would recommend checking this place out! read more

I had what may very well be the best iced latte of my life here. I don't really have anything to say other than that since I don't really know anything about coffee except that 1.) I like it 2.) It keeps this old body going despite all the abuse it suffers and 3.) I like it (again). Go here, drink the coffee, be happy. read more

First, it has off street parking which in this neck of the woods is a great plus. Second, the staff if friendly and engaged. Third, our coffee and tea were excellent. Fourth, the setting inside and out is a relaxing and enjoyable space. The croissant was light and tasty, although we never found any butter for it. However, the breakfast taco while large, lacked flavor, even with the salsa. All in all it's a great place to start your morning. read more

Some of the top coffee in New Orleans. The space is nice and airy. The owner (and main barista) is a gem. The coffee is outstanding and surprisingly well priced compared to other shops in town. NB: Parking on Broad Street is hard. There's parking lot for customers to use accessible from Banks Street. read more

3.75/5 parking aside, solid spot listening to some fun music right now - they are calibrating the volume level, and it's lively. i'm sure you've seen the buzz around this opening, and with the couple lattes i've gotten so far i'm a fan. simple and straightforward set of offerings, and a little cheaper than other spots (!!). there's a pastry case right at the counter, and i'm always down for a banana and chocolate chip muffin. parking is the tough part, so i'm sure the folks who work around tulane/broad are glad to have a coffee option nearby, but if you're coming in to do some work, parking along banks is likely your best bet. the wi-fi is okay so far, and lots of plugs (even ones that just have the USB ports) along the walls. from a work perspective, also pleased to have another option along the stretch of banks to be able to meet or have a spot to do work in between meetings. read more

See all

What a great little neighborhood coffee spot! I found this on Yelp while searching for a place to meet a coworker. The parking is atrocious. There are signs posted for a lot in the back. But the lot is blocked by a huge dumpster. But if you are local and can walk or bike, it's perfect. Friendly staff. Fast service. Good music. Great coffee. I had a very yummy coconut latte. I am not sure about the WiFi as it's locked and I don't see a password posted anywhere. I will be sure to ask next time. read more

So, I just moved to this neck of the woods. I am trying to be more of an adamant coffee drinker. I also hate making coffee on my own because it tastes like something that rats get stuck on that inevitably turns into Rat-king (Google that for your disgust pleasure) Anyway, so I came into the coffee shop and it's very very clean. I'm not accustomed to clean cause I've lived in areas of New Orleans that have dirt coming in and out (No diss, I personally don't care either way as long as I don't get MRSA we are good) Anyway, I was greeted by the owner and the son. They were sweet. And the son is knowing a lot about coffee and I always find that endearing. I got the the Venetian iced coffee. It was good for a DBT skill exercise (google that too, if you must) I basically just sat there and sinked into it. The owner was really proud of it and confident that I would like it. And duh, I did. So, I sat around for a while; being the sack of shit that I am. (Idk if I'm hungover or tired anymore. Welcome to this world) So... I just decided to browse around. This place is pretty perfect for getting school, work, project - work done. It is super spacious and the lighting is warm lighting. So, it doesn't feel like you're a rat under inspection (This is the second time I've mentioned rats?) It even has a cute bench outside if you're into being outside (whatever sun light is, I can't believe I'm awake right now) So, I sat around some more. Then decided, "Maybe this isn't hitting me yet." SOO this bitch got herself a fucking shot of espresso. I didn't even sip it; I fucking shot it. The aesthetic of it was so cute. It was presented like cafeteria style with cup of water. That was when I realized that the aesthetic of the place is sort of like 1950's-we-live-a-bunker-the-cold-war-is-gonna-destroy-us-believe-that-the-radiation-is-gonna-ruin-us! So, then on my bike ride home I'm all, "Everything is fine." I then come upstairs to my house and sure enough I'm like, "WOWOWOWOW OK OK OK OK! I'M OK! WOW! I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT! BUT OKAY I LOVE THIS! WAS THERE COCAINE IN THE COFFEE? SHOULD I TAKE A SHOT OF WHISKEY? WOWOW DRINK WATER!" So, that's where I'm at right now. I also feel like I could accomplish a lot. Alright I'm gonna go figure out how to deal with existential dread XOXO read more

Really friendly place with delicious tea, coffee, and an assortment of nibbles in a fresh, hip space. My Earl Grey tea was flavorful with fresh leaves steeped for just the right amount of time. My husband had the Venetian Creme - a coffee concoction mixed with coconut milk and cream - which he found to be a perfect mix of coffee, cream, and a hint of sweetness. The scone and sesame bagels were yummy. Looking forward to coming back on our next visit! read more

Coffee science takes coffee to that next level. Tom and his crew use the scientific approach to a good cup of coffee. Its chemistry and they know it! read more

The staff at Coffee Science was very friendly, personable, and seemed like they were having fun. The coffee was seriously amazing. When they say science, they don't just mean they boil the water at the right temperature and use measuring cups. There's some serious sh*t happening here. Imagine chemists with beakers and crazy fog and stuff. I mean, I didn't see that, but maybe they were in the back. This coffee was engineered. read more

Awesome awesome coffee. I am a total coffee snob from CA and I swear I need to fly back weekly for more. God. The iced venetian : let me just say daaamn. Get some dat! This place is new, super nice service and decor with shady backyard. Live music coming soon. You love coffee? Hit this place up. Mos Def read more

Most unique coffeeshop I've ever been to. Great service and explanations of some of the more exotic coffee creations on the right side of their varioutous menu. The frosted Mocha is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth (tops of the straw-born kind), and I was impressed with the quality of the more ordinary items as well. The latte with oat milk was very good and topped with quality latte art. I could certainly see myself spending a lot of time and money here if I lived in New Orleans when the coffee, service, and atmosphere are factored in. Definitely recommend checking out the unassuming back sitting area and patio. Returning here is a new future goal. New favorite joint in NOLA. read more

Gross espresso. Slow. Too many workers standing around on their phones with their fingers in their mouths

This is my first time visiting, and so far I love the atmosphere and space. It's great for studying, and there are plenty of tables without the rooms feeling cluttered. There is also ample covered and uncovered outdoor space. The neighborhood is a little sketch, but whatever. The coffee is pretty good too...;). My only gripes are the parking, which is hard to locate, and the safety of the area. The food selection looks good and there are vegetarian and gluten-free options. read more

Delicious tea. Love the layout and feel of the space. Jeremy was great and very festive for Christmas Eve.

Best coffee house in town. Coffee is science at coffee science. Every drink is well thought out and crafted to perfection. Staff are wonderful and helpful as well. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in the city. The parking can be a little crazy sometimes, but the coffee is worth it. Coffee Science is a great place to meet up with folks or to do some work. read more

Stopped by for some coffee and just saw this place close by. Given the good ratings thought would try this place. Inside is pretty comfortable environment...simple menu that has all the stuff you need. Ordered vanilla latte but they said they were out of vanilla so they used sugar free something to sweeten it I think and it was not good to me - but hard to tell if it was coffee or the sugar free flavor...just wasn't good overall. The latte price was $5.50 for large and I gave a dollar tip as always. Seemed like a good place but for us it did not taste good at all. There is also a little porch to sit on as well! read more

This is a coffee shop with no wifi. Coffee and oats were good but I came ready to work. What's the point?

This quaint little coffee spot housed in Mid City and within a traditional shot gun house space, decked with hard wood floors does not disappoint! I love the owner who is always helpful and nice and I love the coffee even more. I can honestly say that a cup from this place will definitely satisfy that caffeine fix. Throw in a pastry and you've got a perfect start to your morning! read more

This is the best coffee in New Orleans! Cold brew and honey badger are our favorites. A must go!

Baristas are always informative and kind. They were such a big help to the community coming back after Ida. Their iced bavarian cream, the iced honey badger and my favorite, the iced nebula. The nebula definitely will caffeinate you and is amazing read more

The Bavarian Creme iced is so good!!! It's made with coconut milk and OMG I'm in lovethank you

This place charged me DOUBLE what I typically pay for a quad shot americano at coffee shops nearby. The service was also incredibly slow. And THEN, I ask them what their WIFI password is, to find out that they do NOT have WIFI. What kind of coffee shop doesn't have WIFI these days?? This place is making me feel like a Karen. read more

Honestly, I don't even like coffee, but the Bavarian cream is so delicious and so smooth. The baristas are always super-friendly and will give you a sample of something if you're not sure what you want to get. Plus, I appreciate that they're civically engaged-- the folks here have offered a free coffee to anyone who registers to vote at a voter registration drive hosted at their cafe, which I think is really awesome of them. Great place, really spacious, and such a welcoming staff! read more

We loved our drinks today- iced Bavarian cream & latte with coconut milk. The place was nice and the man who helped us was super polite. We will definitely make an effort to come back when in the area. read more

They make an excellent flat white. It's a charming place, well decorated. The parking is a slight hassle, but that has more to do with the area than the coffeehouse. read more

This was hands down one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. Their drinks are super unique and incredible. I recommend ordering online and just going to the pick up window when you get there. Super quick and easy! read more

Love the space, which is spacious, quiet, and a great thing to get things done. Also loved that they are supporting small coffee roasters in the city instead of sourcing out from a bigger chain. The quality you get from knowing where every bean coffee bean comes from and how it is prepared is really great. The only thing I would say is that I wish they had more out door seating. All in all a great place to study and catch up wtih friends. read more

Everything was great until they turned the music up to deafening decibels. If they were trying to clear the room, it worked. I think they want you to continue to buy if you're gonna use the facilities. Not a problem, but the passive-aggressive, musical bum-rush was a bit rude. We spent like $15 and worked on laptops for under an hour before the music... So if you're a digital worker and a bit of quiet, I would consider another cafe. read more

I was in New Orleans on a work-trip and spent nearly every day here! The coffee is excellent, the atmosphere is condusive to studying and casual conversation. The backyard area is great if you're looking for some fresh air. The owner and employees are incredibly knowledgeable and entertained my barrage of coffee related questions with enthusiasm that simply cannot be faked. read more

coffee science is the perfect place to go to for a light lunch! their coffee choices are amazing and the service staff are so friendly and polite. especially tristen...she's so cute and cool read more

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

Coffee Science is my favourite new go-to place for coffee and small plates that is reasonably close to home. Practically on my doorstoop. The coffee is delicious and it is staffed by just a couple of people. This is NOT a chain and the atmosphere is a great place to work or just hang out and drink some coffee. It is more spacious on the inside than it appears from the street. Com'mon y'all you'll be delighted just to stop in a quiet and awesome coffee shop. It's out of the touristy areas and where homeless typically congregate and it's not open exceptionally late so it won't typically be busy on a weekday. The weekends when people are out may be busier but here on a Friday mid-day afternoon it wasn't that busy. Wi-Fi is free but you need a password to join. At the time of your purchase they will give you the password to join the network. read more

Y'all, this place is COOL. Great coffee and a nice big space in the back to do work (including a back porch). They are super friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. I had an absolutely delicious Ethiopian coffee that was pourover-good, despite not being pourover-priced. I will absolutely be back. read more

The Bavarian and Venetian creme are good drinks if you have a sweet tooth. For an extra treat they have a mocha frosted that's basically a coffee milkshake. I get there latte every morning and it's always pretty good. Service is super friendly! read more

Owner is really nice.I got their original drink. It wasn't too sweet and was able to wake me up. It is a pretty relaxed place like to chill or to even study. I like the outdoor patio. The whole feel is vintage and relaxed. I would come here again if I am ever in the area read more

I think this place had a lot of potential but our experience here was a little odd. My partner and I walked in and ordered mochas and the guy behind the counter seemed just pissed off. He was slamming things around and he made our drinks so carelessly with no thought given to presentation at all, which is odd. Chocolate and coffee were all over the rim, outside of the cup, and saucer it sat on. I feel really stupid complaining about that because, honestly, it was one of the most mochas I've ever had as far as taste, but the guy's demeanor kinda ruined it for us. read more

Great local owner and friendly staff. They're open to new ideas and are in a location where coffee options are much needed. Limited parking in the back, newly renovated. read more
