I wanted to do some reading outside of home so I went to Congregation to grab a snack and sit for a while. I walked in and the place wasn't crowded (probably due to the rain that day), but I was able to place my order quickly. I received my snack and drink quickly and sat. If you are looking to visit to read or study or do work, I do recommend you bring noise canceling headphones if sounds distract you. I get distracted The ceiling is high so noise is amplified, especially once other patrons occupy the space. But I enjoyed my time here. I was able to block out everything and get a nice amount of chapters covered. The tart was really good. Very toasty and flaky and the right amount of lemon. The honey tahini is my go-to beverage here, and it was delicious as always. This is a nice little neighborhood cafe! read more

Congregation Coffee - Lemon berry danish and Honey Tahini Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Cute little coffee shop in Algiers point. Has a good amount of seating to just hang out. Got a gallon of their cold brew for $15. It will wake you tf up! Tried their pistachio latte and their honey tahini latte. They both are the perfect amount of sweetness. I didn't get much pistachio flavor, but still enjoyed the latte. read more

My local coffee shop! When I'm in the mood for some fresh coffee and don't feel like brewing it myself this is where I like to go! This location is always busy and is a popular spot for a caffeine fix, especially for people in the Algiers Point Area. It's a great place to work, hang out, or just get some stuff to go. I've done the latter two, and will soon be trying the first option. I like to bring my own coffee cup (reuse!) and get it filled with fresh black coffee. Sometimes if I'm peckish, I'll select a treat from their amazing bakery items. And they really are that good! The cookies and the pastries are absolutely worth it! Drinks: Lots of Caffeine options! Parking: Street parking. Outdoor Seating: There are a few places to sit outside. Dog Friendly: Absolutely! read more

Great coffee shop - good coffee, great vibes. And I love a local cat wandering in the open doors.

Like many places, they have about 5 people behind the counter and yet they are still pretty slow. I had a "bacon and gruyere croissant." It was horrible. read more

Not sure where to start.... It's sad because it's the only coffee shop in the point but I only go if I am completely out of coffee at home. Their sizes are bonkers. The "large" is a small at every other coffee shop, but they'll charge you the same price. They constantly mess up orders (it's happened to me only once but I see it so much it's wild). Slow as molasses. Really nice baristas and atmosphere, just lacking in a lot of ways.... read more

Congregation Coffee - Large at another local shop for the same price as the "large" at congregation.... Make it make sense - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

It's a shame they dont have more milk options!! The staff were kind of standoffish but I get people have bad days, but it got to a point where they forgot to even put in my order and I had to ask them if they even had it and show my receipt. Ended up paying $16 for 2 hot lattes which is outrageous. I added a tip of course but I kind of regret it. Coffee was good I guess. read more

Congregation Coffee - Cortado and English muffin with jam. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Congregation Coffee Roasters, a Brennan family coffee roaster, features a variety of coffee beans and ground coffee guaranteed to appeal to coffee enthusiasts. After trying the chicory blend featured at Brennan's restaurant, we decided to take the ferry to Algiers to buy whole beans (the restaurant has ground coffee to purchase). Well worth the journey across the Mississippi to stop in at this local coffee gem. A lovely local coffee spot with beautiful art work and friendly staff members. Super delightfully casual establishment. A great place for a cuppa coffee! wish I lived in Algiers- I'd become a regular! read more

Congregation Coffee - apparently very delicious - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Such friendly staff. Great place to meet friends and it's dog friendly. They also have nice pastries and snacks.

I'm so glad this place reopened after being closed for a few months. The lattes are so good. I usually get the honey tahini latte and it really is the best here. I've also had their chai latte with honey tahini and it was a hit too. They roast their own beans! Have some cool merchandise. They have a variety of pastries. Currently they are selling Brennan's king cake. Friendly staff. Seating inside and outside available. Located in Algiers Point. Go grab you some coffee and stroll the neighborhood. read more

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

The coffee can't be beat! I always get a cappuccino made with half-and-half and it's divine! I often get a chocolate croissant because those are delicious and there's much more chocolate in them than other places that you go to. Today, however I got a blackberry danish - delicious! The service there is incomparable. The Baristas know most people by name and they're generous and kind and cheerful all the time! And because I am somewhat wobbly on my l they often bring my coffee out to me so I don't have to carry it. The ambience is perfect! With the beaded board walls, stained glass in the windows, and high high ceilings, the place says 19th century to me! You get the feeling of being in an old building but one that is well kept! Also, the music that's playing is very subtle and relaxing, and the artwork on the walls is colorful and interesting with poetry woven into it. I love to bring the morning paper with me here and just drink in the ambience! read more

Great local spot! The staff is very friendly. Drinks are solid. If you're looking for something sweet, the iced horchata latte is 10/10. Overall, it's a very chill and laid back atmosphere. read more

This week in customer service fu**ery. Stacks of king cakes at the counter. But "the manager hasn't told me I can cut any to sell pieces." Could you call the manager? "The manager is on vacation." (BS) And the coffee tastes of molasses, toxic dishwater. Ew. What is that? Weed? read more

Was excited to give a try and they don't carry almond or coconut milk. Wtf?! Like ummm hello. No go on oat that ruins coffee. Someone may wanna tell em. read more

Congregation Coffee deserves wayyy more hype. This is such a quaint, nice place with delicious pastries and coffee. They have oat milk as a dairy-free milk option, and the honey tahini syrup is delicious. I do wish they had more savory pastry/food options, but I loved it, and will definitely be back. read more

Bright but cozy cafe in Algiers. Friendly staff and nice decor with original art. I got a $4 iced coffee here to cool off on a warm humid day and enjoyed the a/c for a few minutes. Clean bathroom. Nice merch offerings also. read more

I finally made my way over to Algiers Point over the weekend. I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. *Note that due to the pandemic, they changed their hours from 8am-1pm.* I just barely made it - getting there about 12:30 last Saturday. Also, due to the pandemic, they do not allow inside seating. There is a walk up counter right at the door and then they give you your drink at a counter at the other door. There are a few tables outside you can sit at. I got an iced latte. It was very good. If i'm in the area again, I will definitely come back here! read more

Great coffee, friendly service, chill neighborhood vibe. My favorite coffee shop in the city

This is a top five on best coffee shops in New Orleans area! My boyfriend always has to try drips/pour overs and this is one of his faves. The red bean and rice latte was so unique and for every coffee lover because it wasn't too sweet. The breakfast sandwich was a perfect breakfast to start the day and explore Algiers point! (The shirts are also very cool!) read more

I love Congregation Coffee. While I have never been to their storefront in person, I have ordered their coffee and merchandise via their website! I highly recommend their green mugs IF you can get your hands on one. This order you see here is a limited edition shirt with artwork on the back. It is really cute and soft! I love their Ethiopia coffee-I order my beans whole, although you can request them ground in several ways. This is a wonderful coffee that has the right proportion of sweet and bitter. I enjoy it black, or with a little milk depending on the mood. This is becoming a house staple. Their Alto Cold Brew is wonderful too. I think it is the best cold brew I have made so far at home, but is perfectly packaged for travel. I love their Instagram as well-they are active on social media and I regularly enjoy their updates. Check them out! read more

Great find in this quiet neighborhood. The coffee was great but the pastries were incredible. Very friendly barista as well. Very happy we stumbled upon this place. read more

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR to an area that was a bit too quiet for my liking.... On one of our last days in New Orleans, we decided to leave the areas we have already gotten to know (and love), and explore something completely different. We crossed the Mississippi via the Ferry and explore Algiers (15th Ward of New Orleans)... We never heard much about Algiers, we came with no plan of "what to do" and "what to see"... I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a bit bored. Walking up and down a few different streets we did see some stuff of interest like Rose Tree Glass Blowing Studio and the Mississippi River Trail but it was most pleasant when we caught a whiff of fresh coffee in the air. Congregation appears to be inside of an old home... The inside is very open and the staff seemed to be quite focused on packaging bags of coffee. And of course they did have a service counter too. I had a large cup of their Iced Coffee... strong, just as I like it. read more

So happy to have found this cool little place last Sunday; the weather was mild and the doors were open and the fans were on. Although it was crowded, it had the most serene vibe I've felt in a long time anywhere--it was delightful!! I loved that they retained the original look of the building that brings you back a century or more. I got bacon and eggs cooked to perfection and cappuccino, and got one of their oatmeal raisin cookies to go. Super nice staff, high quality food, great atmosphere. I'll definitely come back! read more

Top notch fresh roasted coffee in old algiers. Hidden gem. Quick service. Cool atmosphere

It's sad that one person can ruin the service; very condescending. Coffee and food just about the best I have had.

Awesome coffee in a lovely neighborhood spot. For weekday breakfasts, they have biscuits (plain/cheddar, brisket, or ham and cheese), vegetarian focaccia, ham and egg quiche. They will heat these up for you. The plain/cheese biscuit is flaky and delicious. Free refill for house coffee. WiFi available. All in all, cozy. read more

10/10 for coffee and service, 0/10 for the new breakfast sandwich. Let me preface this with I love breakfast sandwiches, they are my jam, I go out of my way to find them or make them. I used to LOVE Congregation's breakfast sandwich - it was on a delicious hearty biscuit with pickled red onions, Tabasco mayo, and of course, eggs. It slapped! This new one is wildly different from the old one, unrecognizable really. They're now using a brioche bun instead of the biscuit, but brioche doesn't hold up to the weight of the eggs. They are also now adding what I think is a slice of American cheese which is wrapped inside the eggs, read gooey, it feels like an afterthought. Pickled red onions win out over pickled greens imo. This new breakfast sandwich is $12 vs the old price of $8.50.. I understand inflation and I'd gladly pay $12 for the OG sandwich, but not for this sad sammy. Might come back for coffee on occasion, but will be holding off on food until the return of the old (or something similar to it) breakfast sandwich. read more

3 stars with some room for improvement. This place literally just opened about two weeks ago, so I appreciate that they are still trying to figure things out. I stopped in here for an iced coffee, after seeing some mumbles about this place online. The shop itself is really cute, if not easy to miss. Yes, I walked past it twice because I'm not super familiar with the area and it kind of blends in with the rest of the buildings. The atmosphere is nothing to speak of- there are a few tables and chairs that don't really do much for me (my table was wobbly and I almost spilled my drink when I sat down) and a "family style" table on the side with a lot of seating. The staff is really friendly and welcomed me when I walked in, but I have two major complaints. First of all, before I even walked in I could hear the music blaring from inside. Once inside, there was loud rock music playing- not what I was expecting and I didn't like that at all. I go to coffee shops to relax and I just couldn't relax with that music playing. My other complaint is the heat. I was here in the mid-afternoon and, because there are a lot of windows, the shop is quite warm. It was so warm that I eventually had to leave because the warmth of the shop coupled with the music was making me uncomfortable. I wish they had more pastries or even sandwiches. The coffee was good, so I would probably stop in for some iced coffee to go, but I wouldn't stick around. read more
