This was such a cool coffee shop. I ended up going there twice on just a two day trip. Very nice stuff with a great pour over coffee and I still think about it their breakfast biscuit sandwich which just made you feel good about life when you ate it. read more

Best thing: The delicious and fresh coffee. Type of Food: Coffee Shop / Café (serving house-roasted coffees, teas, and light breakfast/lunch options like biscuit sandwiches and pastries). ToastTab | HappyCow Review: French Truck Coffee on Magazine Street is a fantastic find that's incredibly easy to locate. I walked to this spot, so I can't speak to the parking situation, but the overall experience inside was wonderful. The coffee is exceptionally fresh and delicious, and they offer a massive variety of different coffees and teas to choose from. The staff here is friendly and the service is highly efficient and quick. While I didn't get a chance to try any of their food options on this visit, the drink quality alone makes it worth a stop. Cons: The outdoor seating area didn't look like it had been wiped down from the night before, though the rest of the shop was clean overall. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up (I would definitely go back!). read more

This spot was within walking distance of our hotel and I needed coffee before starting my day of exploring! They had a line; always go for the place with the line!! That's my motto when traveling. The staff was nice and friendly! I started to order the drink I order everywhere but decided to go with the New Orleans ice coffee and it was good. I do not like overly sweet drinks and this was perfect! The pastries looked so yummy but I was headed to breakfast so skipped on those! read more

Cute little gem in New Orleans! Stopped by the French Coffee Truck and loved the vibe--super charming and welcoming. I had the iced coffee, which was strong, smooth, and exactly what I needed on a warm day. I enjoyed it so much I grabbed a bag of their ground coffee to take home. Can't wait to brew it and bring a little taste of NOLA back with me. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area! read more

Delicious latte & cappuccino. Nit bust on a Wednesday morning at 8. Not a bad walk from our stay at the Higgins.

This location has parking in a small lot on the side as well as street parking. The staff are lovely and really kind. There's also working space inside to sit and eat and if you want to go, you can order it to go on the toast app. There's also a large patio to sit on outside and the best part. Well, I love their hibiscus blue eyes tea, and I love the "cruffin", which is a combination of a croissant and a muffin. It's absolutely delicious. read more

This place is so cute! I love the yellow shipping container look! Drew my eye right away! Very fresh coffee and the staff here were very accommodating to my needs. Very friendly! Got the New Orleans iced coffee which was cold brew with milk and simple syrup. Definitely must get. Very simple and very good on a hot summer day. Also had oji iced coffee as it is and that was delicious! Not too big and don't need any creamer at all! Definitely came back here more than once because I enjoyed their coffee. And their decor! read more

French Truck Coffee - New Orleans iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Walking distance from the convention center (given its 2 miles long), excellent coffee when you've had too many days of conference full days. The space is well organized but small. The coffee is very good and locally roasted, I considered buying a bag. The baked good I got was a croissant and apple seasonal offering and was okay, but I think other food offerings might have been better. read more

This coffee was very mid. The place looks amazing inside but the coffee and cocoa just did not hit. Coffee was extremely bitter even with cream, and cocoa was a hot mess literally because it was served spilling out and sticky, and too nutty. We didn't even know our order was ready because it's so awkward when busy to see drinks placed on the counter, and they didn't announce anything since the staff was chatting amongst themselves more. Won't go back, but the place has great decor. read more

Cute coffee shop. I got the New Orleans iced coffee ($5.65) and Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit sandwich ($8.95). The coffee was nice but I was actually more impressed with the breakfast sandwich. They toasted it twice so it was super crispy and loved the flakey interior. My tip would be to order online for pick up on their app while heading over since it was much faster for me. There was a long line when I arrived so glad I just waited a few minutes to grab my order. read more

One of my faves local coffee spots. The coffee is always consistent. We had the caramel iced latte, the iced pumpkin pecan latte with oat milk and the jalapeño sausage croissant. The drinks and croissant were spot on. The staff was a little unenthusiastic. read more

I find a cute coffee shop hard to resist. I was heading back to the CBD from antique shops on Magazine Street and decided to pop in. The staff is welcoming and friendly. They were very helpful with the menu. There are several pasty options if you're feeling a little peckish. I went with a New Orleans iced coffee and made my way out to their adorable outdoor space. The coffee was rich and flavorful, just the right amount of creamy sweetness. I enjoyed the patio tremendously. The umbrellas are the same color as my signature champagne. A nice breeze and a little sunshine made for a very relaxing experience. read more

Stumbled upon this coffee shop while exploring Magazine street and was immediately attracted by the bright colors. I went inside and got a little afternoon pick me up. I ordered the New Orleans Iced Coffee (Coffee, Chicory and Milk shaken over the'good ice). It was crisp with just the right amount of sweetness. The sweetness does not overpower the coffee taste. Highly recommend! read more

I've never had a better muffin in my life! French truck coffee has an adorable ambiance and extremely friendly workers, but the muffins are where it's at. They have a babka muffin (which I had to google, it's supposed to be a chocolate and vanilla swirl but I couldn't tell the difference between the flavors) and a blueberry muffin. They are both extremely light and slightly sweet without being too sweet. Their coffees are good as well, and service was always fast. I ended up coming here for breakfast 3 days in a row, and each day they had plenty of seating available for people to sit and work. read more

Expected so much since the Memphis service experience last year was so good; this location's staff (both the guy and gal) this past Saturday were unfriendly with no greeting and continued nonchalance throughout our stay. Of course, no thank you or have a nice day when we were leaving. Just bad vibes. Coffee was still good, though. read more

The vibe of this shop is fun and vibrant, with cheerful yellow decor and a cozy atmosphere. I had a New Orleans iced coffee, which was smooth and flavorful, but a little too sweet for my taste. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Although we got the coffee to go, this is a great spot to hang out. read more

I love how large the space is in this particular cafe (and the patio outside) because you can tuck away for a few hours and get some work done on your laptop or read awhile without being disturbed, if need be. There are not a ton of coffee shops in that immediate vicinity by foot, so I was here a few times during my 4 day weekend trip to Nola. I got a chance to sit outside early in the morning and enjoy the beautiful scenery and sounds of the birds. This coffee is on the fancier/pricier side, but I believe you do get what you pay for, which is great service, a clean and pretty cafe and delicious iced coffee. Thank you! read more

It had been a while since I last visited the Magazine location and on this particular day I went in for the New Orleans iced coffee. After looking over many reviews, it appears to be their most popular and it was described as not being an overly sweet coffee, which I prefer. I was hoping to sit outside but it began to rain and there was plenty of available seating inside. I went in about an hour before they close (summer hours) and all pastries were put away. When I asked what type of pastries they sell I was offered some although they had been put away which I found really helpful. The employee who took my order was friendly, helpful and kind. read more

Local coffee chain. Came here with two coffee "connoisseurs" as they would prefer to be called but to me, they are totally just "bean snobs," hahaa. They weren't a fan of the coffee -- stated it was bitter and watered down and compared it to Starbucks. Since I gave up coffee for 100 days, I opted for the tea with a lemonade base. It was SO GOOD. So glad I got the largest size too! Clean bathrooms. Helpful staff members. Lots of seating options in the back and even out front too. read more

I can't say too much because I stopped in for a to-go black coffee. The coffee was great and cheaper than national chains. The staff was friendly and fast. If you're looking for good coffee this a great option. They also have indoor and outdoor seating options, along with a small parking lot, making it a little easier to get inside if driving. read more

If you're a serious coffee drinker who loves espresso drinks and knows the difference when it comes to quality then this is the place that you should go if you're in need of caffeine. Full menu of caffeinated goodness. A perfect, simple cortado? An iced latte w/alt milks etc? Pour over? They've got it and it's going to be good. You can't have great coffee without great beans and competent baristas on the machines. They've got both. Check out the pastry selection as well. A few real gems in the case that you might not want to miss. Aside from the product, the people working seem super chill and as if they're glad to be there. Good vibes all around and excellent, friendly service. The room itself consists of the counter where you order and pick up which is near the front door, then it opens up as you move to the back where there is ample seating and a nice quiet atmosphere which is perfect for anyone who is looking to spend some time either working or just enjoying that nice cup of caffeine. Don't 2nd guess it. If you know good coffee and you know that's what you're looking for...don't take any chances. Come here and be pleasantly surprised. read more

Loved this place! They had a nice selection of coffee to choose from and more bakery items than I was expecting. My friend and I came here at about 8:30am and it was still quiet and slow. We stayed for about 2 hours and the crowd picked up pretty quickly. It's not a very big place but big enough for a few places to sit and study if you really need to. They are pet friendly, which was a pleasant surprise! I love what they have to offer and will hopefully get to come back soon. read more

French Truck Coffee - Everything bagel and cafe au lait - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Converted shipping container on Eratos and magazine street. Ordered a large frosted mint mocha with oat milk and one added shot of espresso (comes with only 2 shots for their large, insufficient for this size cup) and a small jasmine green tea. $12.91. More expensive than the same items and size from Mojo yesterday, almost by $2 even. The mocha is decent from here. The tea is okay, another tea bag cup from here. Tastes like a standard jasmine green tea to me. The have a front patio and a back patio as well. read more

After getting over the initial shock that this was neither a truck nor French, I settled in for a nice cup of coffee. Well maybe I could see the French part, and technically there is indeed a truck at the Chartres Street location, so there you go. But back to the reason I came: the coffee. Today I rolled out with a caffe au lait, and while I waited I gazed at the elaborate all-day drip mechanisms creating brews that are probably smooth-as-silk. It was a smooth process from order to finish for me this day, and there were plenty of window tables to tarry while gazing and sipping. You can't miss the building if you're headed here: just look for the yellowist yellow of all yellows and come on in. They pride on building relationships toward sustainable blends, so feel good while you drink and read their Transparency Report. I'll be back, or hit one of the other locations next time around. read more

French Truck Coffee (established in 2012) is a small New Orleans-based coffee chain that focuses on small-batch & fresh-roasted coffee with 10 different locations (mostly in New Orleans with two in Memphis and one in Baton Rouge as of December 2022.) [Parking]: Street parking only and the private lot next door belongs to the Green House Inn; however it shouldn't be an issue to find a street parking spot in nearby streets and the neighborhood feels safe. [Amenities]: The coffee shop has ample indoor seating and spacious backyard outdoor seating area. [Menu]: You'll find various baked goods such as bagels, croissants, cookies, and muffins. The espresso menu includes Americano, macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, mocha, and latte. Yes you can order café au lait here (chicory coffee with hot milk) as well as their signature New Orleans Iced Coffee. *** New Orleans Iced Coffee (dark roast cold brew with chicory and milk - $4.40 for small): The drink didn't taste super sweet and super dark all at the same time. I do like light or medium-tasting coffee and the drink was pretty decent. Please note that chicory has an earthy (others would describe as "taste like dirt") taste and it may not be everyone's cup of tea. *** A great stop for a quick breakfast bite and French Truck Coffee is one of very few third-wave coffee shops you will find in New Orleans. read more

I visited this spot several years ago and knew I wanted to go back the next time I was in New Orleans. So, I stopped in yesterday for an espresso and a pour over (Pacamara varietal, don't remember the origin). The espresso was the best one I've had in a few weeks--bright and fruity without any astringency. The pour over was also great; it had darker fruit notes (plum & bing cherry) and was quite sweet. There is plenty of seating, both indoors and outside, and the staff is very friendly. read more

Great coffee, reasonable prices and a lovely crew! The delicious iced 'Nola' special coffee was a a treat. This location was a Starbucks in the past, I think they have upped the game. Go check it out, it's cool and comfortable with great hospitality. read more

French Truck Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

After dropping our friends off for their cruise, my husband and I were on the hunt for coffee. Yes, there was a Starbucks close by, but I wanted to try something new and someplace local. A quick search led me here, and we were very glad we visited. The place looks small on the outside but is very roomy inside with a spacious and beautiful outdoor patio. The entire space is bright and airy and is a great place to relax before starting your day. The young woman behind the counter was very helpful in answering my questions, and our coffee came out quickly. If you are visiting the area, do yourself a favor and give French Truck Coffee a try. It's a welcome change from the usual stand-by! read more

Came to this local New Orleans chain coffee shop a few times during my visit to new Orleans. I always got the new Orleans iced coffee (cold brew with chicory and milk). They have a small variety of pastries and some bars (one of which is from a favorite company of mine, big spoon roasters!). I can't really tell what chicory flavor is but the overall drink is unique and really tasty on a hot day. It doesn't drink as heavy as a latte which I liked. It isn't too sweet at all. I usually have to adjust sweetness but I never had to for this drink. I tried the blueberry muffins and thought it was good but not amazing. My sister tried the ham and cheese croissant and loved it. They load it with a ton of cheese and it is really tasty. The space has indoor and outdoor seating and includes WiFi and a good amount of plugs. A good place to chill and/or work. read more

Great outdoor shaded seating. Great ice tea and cafe au late. Almond croissant is recommended. Perfect place to slowly get the day started read more

My friend kept talking about French Truck, so when we were about to walk around Magazine, we stopped in for a cold drink. I couldn't decide what to get and the fantastic barista helped me out, offering me their insight into the flavors of their iced tea. Then, while making our drinks, he was so kind and chatted with us about recently released movies and a documentary recommendation. I would definitely go back to try more drinks and for the exceptional service. read more

I recently came to French Truck Coffee during a trip to New Orleans. I actually saw this place on the way to get a slice of cake at Bakery Bar down the street and decided I'd bring the cake here and pair it with some coffee. Upon entry, I liked the place's simple and clean aesthetic. There were an adequete amount of tables to sit at. The guy who took my order seemed very nice and friendly as well, which is always a big plus. I ended up just getting a small coffee ($2.50). I think it probably came out to $2.75 after tax. I think there were 3 types of roasts to choose from: medium, dark, and chicory. I just got the medium roast but looks like chicory is their specialty so too bad I didn't try that one. I'm not a coffee expert, but I felt their medium roast was excellent. It was buttery smooth going down my throat and noticably better than any other chain coffee I've had. I think the combination of all things here make it deserving of a 5 star rating. If I'm ever in New Orleans again I'll drop by to try the chicory. read more
