    The beautiful cafe
    Brittney V.

    My favorite coffee shop in downtown New Orleans. They moved locations this year but the new place is even more vibrant.

    Crescent Counter is a great little coffee shop connected to the hotel. I've been here two days in a row and enjoyed it both times. The first day I ordered a hot caramel latte, which was smooth and really well made. The second day I had the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant--super buttery and flaky, with perfectly seasoned eggs. I also tried a vanilla coffee with milk, and the vanilla syrup had an almost cinnamony flavor that was unexpected and delicious. Definitely a convenient and tasty stop for breakfast or a coffee break.

    Crescent Counter has moved one block down the street inside the Wyndham Garden Hotel. The ambiance is just as quaint as the last one. This space however feels more vibrant. And the coffee and menu consistently amazing. The owners tell me they have been attempting to claim the business on Yelp to update the address but are running into issues with Yelp.

    This is a really cute spot! There is some bar seating for while you wait for your drinks. The coffee and tea were both good, didn't try the pastries but they looked good. The only bummer was it took quite a long time to get our two to go lattes after ordering (30 minutes) and we were expecting a quicker turnaround, so probably not the best place to come if you are in a hurry. Didn't feel as though the quality was worth the wait for me.

    I found this place on my last morning in NOLA and boy do I wish I'd found it sooner. The interior of the shop is super cute and has plenty of bar style seating for taking a quick call or finishing up that last minute report while having your coffee. I got a cafe au lait, egg and cheese and spinach frittata, almond croissant and a homemade limeade. Everything was FANTASTIC. I literally wanted to return and have 4 more of the croissants because they were so good. They make all the pastries in house and the juices are made that morning. This is the type of coffee shop/community space that I had in walking distance in my own neighborhood in Philly. Definitely bookmarking as my go to spot the next time I come back to NOLA.

    EXCELLENT customer service and suggestions. The coffee was bold and the flavors were perfect.

    Great gourmet coffee and food. They make everything, so it's quality. Nice people and service. Clean atmosphere.

    Amazing fresh pastries

    We literally stumbled on this hidden gem while visiting NOLA for a long weekend. Unless you walk by or look it up, you won't see it. It's attached next door to a hotel but the sign is flush on the outside wall. We took a chance based on the Yelp reviews and were so happy we did. It's small inside but very clean and simple. It's a coffee shop buy so much more. It appears everything is made early that morning and they do run out. Only about 10 single seat inside so it appears most take it to go. Here's the kicker! It's not expensive. Their prices were very reasonable. We ordered to coffees and the sausage & cheese roll, blueberry biscuit and the almond croissant. OH MY every bite was pure heaven. We sat down to eat them and let's start with that super flaky blueberry biscuit. Just a hint of sweetness and a glaze that made it scrumptious. The croissant was also flaky and incredibly delicious. The crown jewel was that sausage and cheese roll. Not sure what type of sausage it was but it was the best I've ever had. We ate breakfast for 1/2 of any other restaurant and enjoyed it so much....we came back the next morning.

    Came in for a cappuccino one morning and it was amazing! Everyone here is so friendly and it's a very cute and clean shop that opens early at 7am. I didn't get a pastry but they looked amazing in the little window. They have amazing looking peach croissants when I stopped by. I enjoyed my coffee at the counter and it looked like a lot of regulars coke by in the morning.

    Cappuccino
    Stephie M.

    I asked the barista how long it took them to perfect their cappuccino. They said with a smile "it's not perfected" ...and that's some humility because, daayyuum. Crescent Counter makes their pastries in-house and provides a delightful atmosphere, great playlist, and serves local beans from woman owned and operated business. I may have never come here if I didn't happen to be walking nearby and in need of a coffee post Mardi Gras madness (since I already have my go-to's). But, this place has become top 3 for me!

I'd literally been told I had to go here so many times that by the time I landed in New Orleans, I pretty much made a beeline straight for this legendary cafe. This cafe is located right outside Jackson Square right off the waterfront. They are open late, as they close at either 11p or 12am every day. When we went in the middle of the afternoon, the place was very busy as it was hard to find a table in their outside patio, so we settled for a table in the indoor section(A/C SCORE!!). The ground was littered with powdered sugar as customers like myself don't always understand how to eat these beignets without making a big mess. The beignets themselves were pretty inexpensive as they cost only $4.53 for a 3-pack. I also got a large frozen coffee for $7.70. The beignets were delivered to our table very fast and very warm. The movie "Chef" says you only get your first bite of your first beignet from Cafe Du Monde once in your life and to cherish the moment and I do truly understand what they meant with that quote. These beignets were so great and that first bite with the powdered sugar explosion was so amazing-I really enjoyed the recklessness of having a beignet at Cafe Du Monde. Overall, I feel that anyone who visits New Orleans has to find their way to this legendary cafe and enjoy this dish that has been served since 1862. A really great bite!.

    I really wanted to understand the hype around Cafe Du Monde, but unfortunately, this was a huge…read moredisappointment. The beignets were dry and lacked flavor, and instead of a nice dusting of powdered sugar, there were huge clumps of it piled on top. Powdered sugar can't make up for a dry beignet. The coffee wasn't any better. It had a strong burnt taste that made it difficult to enjoy. I understand Cafe Du Monde is an iconic New Orleans stop with tons of history, but based on the food and coffee alone, I just don't understand the hype. There are much better beignets in New Orleans. Service was average very touristy Overrated, disappointing, and definitely a one-and-done for me. I wouldn't return.

The iced London Fog lattes I discovered are premade, which overall my wife thought was alright, but she liked that they had gluten free blueberry muffins. The chocolate croissant was solid. The service was prompt and friendly. And the decor had a rustic ambiance with the brick walls, dark book shelving and garden patio in the back. The coffee bar has a hidden quality about it that is alluring and appealing. It was good to check out before we concluded our recent stay in NOLA.

    The Vintage - New Orleans, LA…read more The Vintage on Magazine Street was our very first food stop in New Orleans, and it turned out to be a great way for my wife and me to start our trip. From the moment we walked in, I really liked the atmosphere. The place has a cool, relaxed New Orleans vibe with a little bit of an upscale café feel without being overly fancy. It's the kind of spot where you can come in, sit down, enjoy some good food and drinks, and just take your time. Of course, we couldn't come to New Orleans and not start things off with beignets! We decided to go with the Fancy Beignet Flight, which gave us a chance to try several different flavors. We got the raspberry, s'mores, and Chantilly. They came out looking almost too good to eat, covered in powdered sugar with all the different fillings and toppings. Almost... because we definitely ate them! They were warm, sweet, messy in the best possible way, and a fun introduction to our New Orleans food adventure. For my meal, I ordered the Italian Panini with the truffle Parmesan fries. The sandwich was packed with meat, cheese, and flavor. Looking at that cross-section, they definitely weren't being stingy with the fillings! The bread was toasted nicely, and everything worked well together. The truffle fries were another highlight. They had plenty of seasoning and Parmesan and paired perfectly with the sandwich. I also grabbed a small iced mocha, which went really well with the food and especially the beignets. One thing I really enjoyed about The Vintage was the atmosphere. The interior has a lot of character, from the marble tables and vintage-style flooring to the bar and pastry display. It feels like a place that belongs on Magazine Street. It was comfortable enough that we didn't feel rushed and could just enjoy being in New Orleans together. The service was good during our visit, and everything came together for a really enjoyable first meal in the city. Our bill came to around $48 after tax and tip for the two of us, and considering we had a sandwich, upgraded fries, drinks, and the beignet flight, I thought it was a good experience for the money. Most importantly, this place gave my wife and me a great start to our New Orleans trip. When your first stop includes a loaded Italian panini, truffle Parmesan fries, iced coffee, and a whole flight of beignets, you know the trip is starting off right! Definitely a place I would visit again. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great first taste of New Orleans. 5 stars from us!

    Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!
