Came in to catch up with my friend and sat on tiered benches they had in back. There's ample amount of seats that are close to outlets! The Ube matcha was really yummy and so was the golden latte (mung bean base). My favorite drink that we ordered was the golden latte because it didn't have a bitting coffee aftertaste on my tongue and also had a sweet and creamy flavor profile. The baristas are really friendly and offer their recommendation if you don't know what you're looking for! read more

Little code shop inside a hotel with not variety of coffee and pastries. I asked for a cappuccino with non-fat milk . I was told they only had low-fat. So I waited twenty minutes for the cappuccino, a muffin, and a bagel with cream cheese. I was then given a whole-milk cappuccino. When I asked for an explanation, they just said they did not have low or fat free milk. They refunded the cappuccino and left me with the muffin and a bagel without the spread of cream cheese. They should have least: 1. Spread the cream cheese. 2. Refund the whole amount for the time I had waisted. read more

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

It was super weird that they had a dog in the food/coffee prep area. Picking up the dog and not washing hands when handling the food. The coffee was good, but not a very hygiene friendly place read more

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. read more

Crescent Counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Crescent Counter has moved down the street - they're now in the lobby of the Wyndham Garden Inn, accessible in the 900 block of Common St. Very simple coffee shop with some breakfast items. I stop in regularly for their breakfast sandwiches, which are delicious. Open 7 days a week!! Very limited seating, and this may be a temporary location, but the business is still open (it has been reported as closed), and it's definitely worth a stop for coffee or to-go food!! read more

The espresso and coffee here is fantastic. As are the pastries. The employees are wonderful and kind. Best coffee in New Orleans by far. My only criticism is the up charge for half-and-half and alternative milks. Lotsa love here. read more

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

Crescent Counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Coffee and sandwich were decent. One of the girls was sweet but the other one and the guy gave me bad vibes. I know people are a pain so I get it but a little smile would brighten up the morning. We ate at a lot of places while in town and pretty much everywhere else had amazing cs. But it's good for a quick stop leaving the hotel or if you happen to be walking by. I would stop in again but not go out of my way for it. read more

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

Crescent Counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Best coffee shop in NOLA, total hidden gem. The coffee is so good and they make their own syrups! The staff is friendly and accommodating. For pastries I recommend the s'mores cookies or almond croissant! Cute dog too read more

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. read more

Crescent Counter - Crescent Counter . - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Food and coffee were good but we waited one hour for a burrito and it never came. We got told we should've listened for our order, and that someone "must've taken it." We watched the counter the whole time. They just forgot it and blamed it on us. We ended up leaving with a refund after they were so rude to us. read more

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. read more

Crescent Counter - Pastries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

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. read more

The pictures on google maps were very misleading- the pictures were of a modern looking coffee shop stand alone, but this place was tucked in a 3 star hotel. I was looking forward to trying the coffee/ espresso roasted specifically for them by black and white roasters- unfortunately the coarse grind, insufficient tamping, or an inadequate dose of coffee made for an extremely bitter/ sour espresso. My drip coffee was fine- very darkly roasted for my taste (likely the same coffee as the espresso). read more

Food and pastries are fresh and good you can tell they're homemade from scratch! The coffee is top tier, the owners are very nice and friendly! Fast service and the location is very convenient, clean, and cute! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Crescent Counter - a kitchen with white counter and black stools - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

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! read more

Crescent Counter - Blueberry Crumble Croissant and Chai Tea Latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A decent spot for basic coffee, but more about aesthetics than coffee quality. We got two lattes and a piece of the raisin walnut loaf. They were a solid value (albeit a bit burnt in flavor) and the loaf was good, not too sweet. However, we saw the reviews before coming here and got the impression that this was a higher end coffee place, especially given the "pour over" on the menu. When we asked what the pour over options were, the barista said "it's just a different method of making the coffee." We said yes, and clarified that we were asking what beans were being used for the pour over, and got the response "uh, dark roast." No shade to the barista, because this feels like a lack of training issue from the business. It was a bummer to feel duped by the aesthetic over the quality, especially after having solid pour over at a chain coffee shop blocks away. It was the only coffee shop we went into all week without coffee beans or grounds available for sale, and just empty shelves with plants, which should've been our first tip off. read more

Crescent Counter - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Coffee was fantastic. Great spot around the corner from several hotels. Good vibes and super nice people. Almond croissant was amazing. Ask for Cash, she makes the best coffee ;) read more

Unfortunately this was a disappointing experience. The service was disinterested and I didn't feel welcome here. They charge $1.50 extra for decaf, when I enquired about it they told me it's because they use a different process... I'm not sure I understand exactly what that means. Paid $16 for two decaf (cap and latte). The drinks are average as well unfortunately. Much better coffees at Fourth Wall, and better service and overall experience. I recommend to the owners to please better train your staff for a better experience for customers. read more

My Americano with lavender and honey was amazing!! Loved the ambiance and service!! The lavender iced matcha is really good as well.

We came here while visiting NOLA, and am so glad we did! The food, service and drinks were all so great! We can here for breakfast the last two days of our trip. We got a breakfast sandwich that came with bacon and egg on it! The coffee was tasty and you could customize the drink as well. They had dairy alternatives which was also an added bonus! I would definitely recommend coming here for a coffee or snack, and would come back myself if I were there again! read more

Coffee was amazing and super fast!!! Also super sweet customer service and the music was fire!

this was so conveniently close to our hotel had to get the pastries and matcha every morning! I loved the matcha with oat milk and agave. perfect amount of sweetness. but the star of the show was the BLUEBERRY ALMOND CROISSANT. just wow. it's nicer when warmed too because the blueberry is a little bit more melted and wow! read more

Crescent Counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

An oasis of a wonderful coffee shop in the midst of hotels. When I stayed this time for a conference, I walked here pretty much whenever I could (unfortunately their hours at the time were pretty limited). They have their own kitchen, and the biscuits are amazing (blueberry biscuit) - super flaky, honey glazed, crunchy edges, not like most biscuits. And just the right amount of (lots of!) butter. The flakiness and beautiful presentation make it stand out even more. As for the coffee - masterfully done. My barista really used the pourover coffee to highlight the flavors of the coffee - oh and they use some really good beans (Black & White roasters, for example). Unlike a lot of places where coffee (even pourovers) can fall flat, I got strong hints of blueberry and other vibrant notes in the pourover. Maybe things will change as people discover this place more, but at the time it was quiet, had free Wifi, and had a really design-oriented and chill atmosphere. Hope this place is still around the next year I visit! read more

The service here was fast. There are a few seats for sitting. I got an iced latte with lavender and an almond croissant and it was okay. I think there are better options, but there are probably other things here that taste good read more

Great little coffee spot and very modern. I enjoyed their paintings. The coffee drinks were good-iced latte and Cappuccino. And ordered what was left of their baked goods-breakfast Sausage and banana bread and was excellent. Will have to go earlier to check out this other baked goods....because what I got was the last of that mornings offerings and if that is any indication of the baked goods, must be very good! Good spot and service. read more

Just needed a pick-me-up nearby before we met up with some friends during our visit to NOLA, and Crescent Counter was literally around the corner of our hotel. - PARKING- No parking lot here, just walked on over from our hotel! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - It's a small shop, with little sitting room and honestly standing room even. This is definitely a grab and go type of business! There's a display case with their available pastries, and you order at the front right next to it. It only took a few minutes for the staff to get a few customers' orders in, then they went to working on the drinks. - DRINK - Cafe Au Lait: I love getting Cafe Au Laits here in NOLA, and Crescent Counter did it well! You can't really go wrong with this drink! - OVERALL - If I happen to stay nearby again, I will definitely pop in to give this place more business! read more

SKIP BIG CORP COFFEE & GEAUX LOCAL!!!! We stayed at the Renaissance across the street and were on our way to Starbucks when we saw this adorable coffee shop. It looked so inviting, and is locally owned, so we decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad we did! The baked goods were worth to stop alone. We had the bacon, egg and cheese croissant and the almond/raspberry croissant. Both were scrumptious! They were perfectly buttery and flaky. I had a latte and my fiancé had a mocha latte. Both tasted great, but weren't as hot as we like. The coffee was more like 4/5 stars, because of the temperature, but the baked goods were 20/10; out of this world.! read more

I went and got a smoothie but my.husband wanted to get breakfast and coffee here. The shop was cute and clean. My husband had asked for food recommendation. Employee didnt offer any. My husband went to order the blueberry muffin. The employee told him not that and recommended the biscuit. My husband ordered that and a coffee. He really enjoyed the biscuit. He thought it was really thick and said it would have been good with gravy. The coffee had a cute heart shape in it. If you want food and are gluten free I did not see anything available for those who need that. They did have options of non dairy milks however for their coffees! read more

Hands down the best coffee I've had in the 5 days of being here. I wish I'd found it on day 1! HIGHLY recommend! read more

Crescent Counter - Iced Vanilla Lattes w/ Quad Shots - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Delightful modern coffee and pastry shop tucked away on a side street. I luckily found it thanks to walking by it to another restaurant the night before. The staff weren't the most friendly but it was before 8 am on a Thursday after having Mardi Gras and V-day in the same week... so I'll let that slide! read more

This is a spot right here. The clean white interior gives a certain calmness to the hectic day. It's a bib Big Easy vibe to it all. The bar and seats at the window make for good workspace or conversational moments. The coffee is smooth. You can tell there is love and craft going into each cup. It doesn't come out burnt. The homemade vanilla was tasty in my latte. I had a veggie egg bite. It was good. My wife had a yogurt cup w/granola and berries with her cafe au lait. The folks here were nice and helpful in a laidback way. Check it out. read more

Crescent Counter - Chill vibe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Traveling and was looking for a good shop. Simply put, excellent coffee. Staff is polite and professional

I actually swung by here because I had a little time to kill and the Google/Yelp reviews looked promising. I'm not exaggerating when I say this place had the best cappuccino I've ever had in my life. I don't know what beans they use, but the flavors were so layered and complex. I literally savored every, single sip. It was amazing. I don't think I've ever written such a glowing review in my life. Try this place. Also great vibes and nice counter seating. read more
