Pesto chicken salad was amazing - definitely my new favorite salad. (I'm very picky!) Southern pecan latte was great! Went back and tried the crème brûlée latte - also great! The best part of our order was the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. The croissant melted in your mouth!!! Very authentic tasting. It was so good that we went back in and got 2 more. Knocking off one star because they made us repeat the order at the drive through window as though the original person at the speaker didn't enter any of it in the computer system. They messed up part of the order because of it. read more

Rating: 5/10 So I wasn't able to try to coffee products at French Press due to the espresso machine being down when I came. I'm sure the store encountered some disgruntled customers from that, you can feel that the energy inside was off. I wanted to try the wedding La freeze but opted instead for the ham, egg and cheese croissant sandwich ($6). It was really good but hopefully I can get a drink another time. read more

French Press Coffee House - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

We stopped by after dinner for dessert last night. Everything was cold. I ate the carrot cake that was literally ice cold, and stale. Another couple shared a chocolate brownie that they had to hand back to the server and ask for it to be reheated. The third couple asked for a cinnamon role that was handed to him cold. He too had to ask for it to be reheated only to find it stale anyway. One in our party asked for regular coffee which was handed to him cold. He asked for another cup but to make sure it was hot. Horrible experience! Will not be back! read more

Came here as soon as we got out the airport. This was maybe 10 mins from MSY. The location is good, it seems like a pretty quiet area. We walked in and it was a very cute establishment. The decor was just right for a coffee house. Seemed pretty clean. Service was great, the employees behind the counter were helpful and told us what was pretty popular. We had the breakfast sandwiches brought to our table so that was pretty nice. I got the crème Brûlée iced coffee, it was pretty sweet, just how I like it. The breakfast sandwich was good too. We got the sausage and egg croissant, the egg was very fluffy, and the croissant was buttery. Definitely need to visit the French Press again to try the other items on the menu! read more

Exactly what you would expect from a coffeeshop chain. No complaints at all. It was fairly quiet inside (Sunday, early afternoon). I sat and chatted with a friend for a few hours comfortably. I got the Almond Joy flavored frozen latte, which was delicious! Let's face it though, that's more of a dessert than a coffee, and I'm not a coffee snob, so take it with a grain of salt! One great thing I noticed about my drink though: it was very smooth. The ice crystals had been blended to perfection! A lot of the time, at other coffeeshops, I've noticed the ice being a little too large and almost grainy for my tastes. read more

Great people, great service. My favorite is the Crème Brûlée LaFreeze. The breakfast croissants are good also.

This is my favorite coffee shop in the New Orleans metro area. The employees are so friendly and the atmosphere is great! And the coffee is the best around. I have tried a number of the sandwiches and salads and I have never been disappointed. You need to try it out! read more

This location is hit or miss. They messed up my order the last couple of times i've been there. They gave me the wrong food order and the iced coffee tasted like milk! read more

I've only frequented this place via drive-thru. The coffee, itself, is a 7/10. It's pretty good! I enjoy the hot Southern Pecan. It lives up to its name. Has a nice pecan undertone that seems like a good fall drink. Their croissants are amazingly flaky and buttery. They appear freshly made, which is a plus. The service is a bit slow. I'm not sure why the drive-thru moves much slower than most other drive-thru coffee joints, but there you have it. Overall, decent coffee spot! read more

The service is absolutely HORRIBLE!!! I will never go back there!!! My order was total wrong and I waited over 10 minutes for them to make it, and it was a chicken salad sandwich. We all know that chicken salad was already made all they had to do was put it on the croissant which they did not. They put it on wheat bread with tomatoes, which I asked for no tomatoes. read more

I frequent several of their locations and today I stopped at the one on David Drive at the corner West napoleon. Well it is colder inside than it is outside. if that is a marketing strategy that you'll buy more coffee. Well my answer is NO, no. Come on people turn on the heat ! When I ask the Barrister about it behind the counter she just looked at me as if I was absolutely stupid for even asking the question about heat not being on. She never did respond except to say can I take your order ? read more

I tried this for the first time today with my family, as we were heading out of town for the weekend? It was a very clean place and the service was top notch. I just wish I had ordered an extra shot in my iced latte. I haven't been back and I don't plan on visiting in the future. I like stronger coffee read more

So far this place is my go to place now! They have my boba ready. The employees are super nice versus when they first opened. It's a clean location. A bit harder to get to but worth it on my way to the park. I love having a stamp card and since I have a few different cards, they let me combine. I hope one day they can do phone numbers in the system then we don't have to try to keep track of cards. read more

All of the ladies and the few guys that work in this place are freaking awesome! A deceased ex partner of mine had introduced me to this gem. It's the service industry and these ladies HANDLE IT during the busy times. Anna, is a stellar manager. She responds quickly to issues IF they arise (they usually don't, but this isn't a perfect life) and is always is laid back while keeping it professional. The team they have in place gets the job done and they do it well for early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Coffee makes people other people easier to deal with and they help the transition. THANK YOU! read more

Thank you allysa for an amazing experience! We have been at the ballpark all day watching our girls play softball and needed a pick me up! She made us the best drinks and she was so helpful to our crew who didn't know what to order! read more

French Press Coffee House - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I can only review from a drive-thru experience but it was an average experience. I ordered a large mocha iced coffee, which tasted great and was at a reasonable price. Probably my only complaint is that there was nobody in front of me in the drive-thru, nobody in line inside, yet it took 8 minutes for my coffee to be made. Which might not seem bad but I was on my way to work and if I would have saw a line, I wouldn't have stopped but I figured since nobody was in line it would be quick enough to stop by for a coffee. I'd recommend giving this location a try, just make sure you have extra time because it seems like they take longer than most places. read more

Always great service and treats. The food is reasonably priced and yummy. Never bothered when I have to park there for a bit because waiting on someone else. read more

Is there such a thing as a bad French Press location? I don't think so, but I do think this is one of the better ones. It's certainly one of the newer ones, and the design is very chic and modern. The people who work here are also super friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks. They seem like they enjoy working with one another, which I think is important. Also, they are teenagers, so cut them some slack people. At least they are working and learning to be productive members of society. Today, I got a petit coconut bubble tea, which is really closer to a snowball in sugar content than a normal bubble tea. The guy at the register did let me know that they don't add sugar to the mix, but I legitimately do not want to know how many grams of sugar are in this thing. Anyway, it tastes amazing, and will probably give me an immense sugar high. read more

tried french press for the first time today and i have a few issues but a few compliments. for starters, it took about five minutes for the barista to acknowledge me when i walked up to order. i ordered a mocha la freeze that i got immediately and it tasted mediocre. my friend ordered the coffee la freeze though and said it was really good. i had also ordered a cheesecake but they forgot about it and i had to wait 10 minutes and walk up to the counter and ask about it. when i finally got my cheesecake though it was the chips ahoy flavor and it was really yummy. read more

Service was good. I did get here after 9 am so I'm guessing it's after the morning rush ? I ordered a hot tea and the bacon, egg and cheese croissant. The croissant came out before the tea. The croissant was big and flaky and warm. The eggs where cooked perfect and were fluffy( I can never get eggs to get fluffy) Bacon was nice and crispy( I love crispy bacon) and didn't even ask for crispy which I usually do. Nice inside. Clean dining area and clean restrooms. Not noisy which I liked a lot. Music was playing but was low, don't like restaurants with loud music. Yes I'll be back. read more

It's my first time here and I'm honestly impressed with the environment of the location. It's a clean and chic area that's well lit. The atmosphere provides a great studying place that's not noisy but also not too quiet. There's also a drive through so that's convenient for people on the go. The staff is also incredibly nice. I ordered the wedding cake la freeze and it's pretty good although it's nothing special. It might be a bit too sweet for my taste but I still enjoyed it. (Just a note, the whipped cream is sweet too) I'm interested in trying other items on the menu because there's a whole variety of drinks. I do wish there were more food items on the menu but I get that this is just a coffee house. This place has potential so I'm definitely adding French Press to my rotation of cafes to go to. read more

French Press Coffee House - Petit wedding cake lafreeze w/ whipped cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

A French Press closer to the park! Woohoo! Take a coffee and walk the short minute to Lafreniere Park! The menu offers a variety of drinks and it even has a small selection of deli sandwiches. This is the third French Press location within the Metairie/Kenner area and I love it. The decor is brand new and nice. Lighting inside is perfect for studying compared to the dimness of Starbucks. For being a brand new business, I came in at 9 pm and there were a few tables full. The only downside - making it four stars instead of five - there are only outlets on the high bar in the middle of the seating area. None of the tables have outlet plugs. This location differs from the other locations in that they're aren't many booths. There is only one wall of booth seating opposite to standard chairs, which is fine. Overall, I will be coming back. read more

Literally the slowest drive-through I've ever seen in my life. I would highly recommend that you model your drive-through after Starbucks. Not to mention, your employees are very rude, that being said I will never be back to this establishment. read more

This is the most flavorless brew "dark roast" I've had since Starbucks Oh, and I'm an adult with my own preferences. I CAN PICK AND ADD MY OWN CREAMER!! read more

The inside of this building is nice. The location is easy to get to. The people working here always tend to forget orders and give them to the wrong people. I was the only person inside ordering two breakfast sandwiches and I waited inside. My cappuccino took 15 minutes to make and the breakfast 30 minutes. Only because "they gave it to someone else by accident." Why bother lying? Why not just say, sorry I forgot to make them. read more

Absolutely horrible location.. I have been going to French press for years, and I absolutely love their coffee, but I will never return to this location. The line is slow even when there is only ONE person in front of me. I waited for 20 minutes for someone to take my order, nobody did! I just left. I have been to this location a few times and every time I went, I would be in the drive thru for 30 mins, or they get my order completely wrong. Either French press gets their shit together, or y'all will be losing ALOT of business. read more

They are so incredibly rude here. There's two plus-sized girls, a brunette (who gives EVERY customer attitude) and a blonde (who talks like she's in a DJ Khalid video). I'm literally standing in here right now and they were both insanely rude to two nice women who did nothing to them. Y'all are bout to start hemorrhaging business. Y'all used to have great staff - I know bc I'd come here everyday. I also used to work 10 years in restaurants and would always tip generously. With THAT crew working though, they get a penny every time, which is 1 cent more than they deserve. Get it together, French Press. read more

If it weren't for the service the rate would be higher. I love their coffee, it is my favorite! They have a wide amount of flavors and different flavors of the month. It's just sometimes you have to wait in a long line. read more

I find the staff here is sometimes very unfriendly, it makes me weary to come to this location. I would rather go to the Williams blvd location as i have never had any issues with employees making me feel unwelcomed. We all have jobs to do, we are all tired (hence the need for a coffee shop), no one wants to work but we all have to, to survive. If you really don't like customer service, pick a different job. read more

Every time I go to the one on david drive or Williams I'm reminded of why I don't go back! It used to be a really good spot. But now I know myself and a few others who just refuse to go back because of the long waits/poor service. For example, a guy worker critiquing a girl worker as the windows open and trying to serve me. It was embarrassing and felt super bad for the girl, and I wanted to critique the guy saying that you are holding up me getting my order cause you are trying to micromanage this girl! Also, my orders are never right. read more

I came here to tutor a student and it was a fine place to study! They have flavored black coffee which hit the spot for me. The flavor at the time when I went was red velvet. It wasn't too quiet and wasn't too loud. It was spacious and inviting. I'd definitely come again if I needed to study out of the house. read more

After telling myself no dont stop there you're always disappointed......(puccinos is too far away) i said self if theres no line it was meant to be. Because Lord knows if theres even 1 person in the drive thru you about to wait a minimum of 10 min. So no one was in line, it was my lucky day. But nah.... It wasnt. I ordered a medium la freeze and the girl who took my payment even confirmed "medium right"..... welp that was just too easy because then the girl who made it brings me the drink and i drive off only to discover yup it was a small!!! How do you mess that up even after confirming? That was it for me. Never ever will i let myself let myself stop in there. read more

I frequently stopped here while living nearby to get either iced coffee or a coffee lafreeze with added boba. I love that they have boba here and it is perfect! They also have a variety of snacks and food but I mainly went for the coffee. The drive thru line moves quickly and the employees are always very friendly. I liked this location better than the one by the mall or on airline drive because they always got the boba right (not rock hard or falling apart). read more

French Press isn't the closest coffee shop to my house, but I'll gladly drive the extra 5 minutes any day for this place. They have a drink for whatever mood you're in: bubble tea, frozen coffee drinks (coffee la freeze is the bomb), regular tea and coffee, you name it. And the pastries never disappoint. A blueberry scone can literally turn my day around. I especially love the service at this location. When I go in at night, there's usually a group of high school age girls working, and I love watching them interact with each other. It reminds me of my friends and I in high school. They're all so polite and cheerful and just make my day! read more

I adore French press. But this location's employees need more training. I shouldn't need to repeat my order three times. My Latte tasted off....like sour. My lady asked for extra whipp and got normal. read more

I love French press and usually don't have a problem but I stopped there the other day and ordered my usual, iced coffee with 1/2 the amount of caramel. First there were a few people in line, took me 15 minutes to get my first drink. I stuck my straw in it before I drove away and tasted it and it was way too sweet. I handed it back to the guy and told him I asked for only 1/2 the caramel. About 5 minutes later I was given this milky disaster shown in the pic. I took it and left because there was a car behind me. It was still way too sweet and was just a no. Waste of my time, waste of my $4, very disappointed read more

French Press Coffee House - Iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

My newfound favorite local coffee shop. The ambiance is nice for a cup of coffee and sitting down to read a chapter of that new book, or assignment, that's been waiting for too long. The coffee was solidly better than what I've grown to expect from the Seattle based chain, but only two employees were working, and seemed stretched thin when I visited, taking care of drive-though customers. read more

Didn't think the coffee was that great, comparable to Dunkin Donuts. Limited food choices and despite there being no one in the store the food was slow to come out and instead of bringing the food to the table, which they should do when they are not that busy, they shout it's ready at the counter. Almost no sweets in the cooler none of which looked fresh. read more

Love their holiday specialty drinks.....candy cane and pumpkin spice were both delicious!!!
