Fabulous matcha! Truly! But you must get the chocolate chip cookie. Might be one of the best I've had. Found out made with rye flour and refrigerated to keep moist. And I must say the ginger chia pudding with berries and homemade granola is fantastic. AMAZING place!

This little gem of a coffee shop is located just off Magazine Street New Orleans. The vibe is fun and friendly. Coffee is seriously good. Breakfast Taco awesome! Cozy spots to read or converse, lots of outlets for the student/ WFH set, even swings!! We met so many really nice people here and had engaging conversations. A great place to gather or get a cup to go!

Cute coffee spot off Magazine Street. The baristas are super nice. There's plenty of indoor seating and indoor stage for comedy nights.

If you haven't stopped by one of Junk Drawer's comedy events, you're missing out big time!!! We stopped by for a coffee earlier in the day which was so good and then came back for Moral Panic! Stacked lineup, loved it Also super cute atmosphere, designs, and it's awesome that they collaborate with local artists and creatives:) See the photo for a recreation of us laughing so so hard at this comedy show

The other day I stumbled across this new neighborhood coffee shop just off the beaten path of Magazine Street. It is absolutely adorable in here. As soon as you walk in, it's very warm and inviting with some pretty cool seating options (there are swings, y'all! How cute is that?!). I didn't try any coffee, but I did see that they had all of the usual suspects as well as a really nice selection of teas. They also have a grab and go selection of beverages like mineral water and a small assortment of pastries if you're in need of a snack. It's super quaint and cozy, but doesn't feel too cramped. They have a gender neutral restroom which was spacious and clean. The music selection was good and not too loud--there were some folks in the space using their outside voices which was a little overwhelming for such a small space, but other than that it was a solid. I was looking to change up my scenery and get some work done and it was the perfect find. On most evenings, it looks like they go from coffee shop to event space and they have a very well stocked events calendar so definitely check that out as well.

This place is a cute cafe. I didn't have coffee during my visit, but I did enjoy the green tea I ordered. The barista made sure I was satisfied with the sweetness level before I sat down. I will say, the vibe is more of a place to grab a coffee and chat with a friend versus remote worker friendly. It was definitely a bit noisier than I would have liked, and I did eventually leave to find a quieter place. So just know if you're going catch up on some work, this *might* not be the best spot lol.

We just have a great cortado with a god vibe and great service....

Great services and good "cortados" that make a family memory. The food and muffins were a great combination with the environment. Great vibes.

The best coffee shop in New Orleans. The best place to bring friends that are coming visit the city and then walk around Magazine St. I couldn't recommend this place enough! Such friendly workers

This place is not only my favorite coffee shop in New Orleans, it's one of my favorite spaces period. The people there are so welcoming and lovely. They are always taking steps to foster community in their neighborhood. I have met so many wonderful people through events that they host. As for the coffee, I have to do decaf for health reasons. I am super picky about my decaf espresso and this place is the gold standard. Their decaf cappuccino is top notch. The space is great for co-working. I have found it to be a very safe, inclusive, queer friendly environment.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem while on a walk. Some interesting coffee combinations. Interesting in a good way. They also have your standard coffee shop coffees. A small breakfast and lunch menu. The barista was knowledgeable and friendly. It's very cute, clean and spacious. Eclectic interior. I ordered the Runamula "espresso whipped with cacao new mexico red pepper and milk".

The barista had very low energy and seemed completely uninterested in serving customers. My vanilla latte was bland, which might just be a reflection of the staff's lack of care that day. That said, the ambiance of the shop was great, so I'm willing to give them another try on a different day. read more

This place is really cute! I love the atmosphere, everyone was really friendly. I went later in the day so they didn't have a lot of pastries (as most coffee places dont around that time), but the had a slice of Focaccia bread that was delicious, and they were baking cookies. I didn't see a drink menu, but since it's a coffee shop I figured they had the basics and just asked if they had Oat Milk which they did, so I got an iced oat milk latte, and it was fantastic. I can tell it's still pretty new so I'm sure in like 3 weeks it'll be even better. I'll be interested in seeing if they have any special flavored drinks or food planned. And it looks like they have live entertainment there too. It's definitely worth checking out. read more

Worst cafe coffee I've bought in many a moon--and it was over 7 dollars for a small! It was burnt... noticeably so. Maybe no one buys enough decaf to warrant a fresh pot more than once a day, but please, for the love of God, don't serve it if the carbon has reached these levels. I couldn't even drink it. I took two sips and chucked it. Hopefully they'll eventually convince me, because it's such a cute spot and so close to home, but as of now I'm still luke warm about it.

Longer: So I was a little hesitant to go to CDM, because it's such the tourist stop and the first joint anyone mentions when they say "beignet". But this was our first stop, morning of first day. The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

This is a must-do if it is your first time in NOLA. But are the beignets tasty? Only if you like…read moresugary powder over fried dough! Don't be deterred if you see a long line - that's for takeout only. The tables are first come, first served. Portions are quite large so good to share a plate (3 beignets) between 2 ppl.

Make sure to tip extra because it is one tough job.

If you're in New Orleans and have time for one sandwich, make it the Cubano at Cochon Butcher. It…read morewas, without question, the best Cubano I've ever had. The combination of perfectly smoked pork, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese was incredible, but what truly set it apart was the banana pepper aioli paired with their signature cilantro-jalapeño pesto. The flavors were bold, balanced, and unforgettable. Served on fresh, crispy bolillo bread, every bite had the perfect combination of crunch, heat, and tender smoky goodness. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail are obvious from the first bite. Cochon Butcher has earned its reputation, and after trying this sandwich, I completely understand why. Whether you're a local or just visiting New Orleans, this place deserves a spot at the top of your must-visit list. I'll definitely be back--and it will be hard to order anything other than that incredible Cubano. Say hi to Anthony, Zane Ciarra, their recommendations are on point! Cheers!

It goes by pretty quickly in my opinion. They get busy and it's not too spacious inside. They have some outside seating as well. The food was very good !! I got the downtown breakfast and it was lovely!! Pork chops and grits was just like home. 5/5 for the food!! The service was decent as well. We sat down and got help pretty fast. It was busy but cool ambiance. They had a good cocktail menu and food menu with a variety. I had the French 75 for my drink and it was perfect! They have happy hour here as well Friday-Sunday. I say come here for breakfast no doubt of your in NOLA or visiting. You will not be disappointed at all. I will come back here for sure. I like how it looks like a house with bright yellow shades outside. Street parking only here. -Marshay D.

Two Chicks Café - CBD

A friend with whom we'd just wrapped a seven day cruise with, found this spot from a good friend of…read morehis named Claude. It was totally walkable from Port of New Orleans, so off we went. The stories about the line are true: it was mid morning on a Sunday, and there was definitely a line, but we put in for a table for three and were seated within 20 minutes. First up was a bloody mary, the canonical brunch beverage, and it was a winner. Dressed with some nice veggies in handled jar, it was delicious and refreshing. As for the food, I was torn between a couple of the benedicts, so I ended up combining and getting crab cake and andouille sausage, both on the same croissant. It was delicious if a bit much; I ended up taking half to go. The crab cake was substantial in size, with a good crab to cake ratio, and the sauce which was touted to be excellent, certainly was. This was a very tasty breakfast. The decor was very cute and bright, and our server had a great smile and proper NOLA accent, tending to all of our needs with aplomb. It was a great experience, and one I'd do again for sure.

Great breakfast spot in walking distance from all the downtown NOLA hotels. Theres a longline that…read moreforms each morning but theyre usually good at cycling patrons in and out, so the wait is bearable. The service and food was great. My partner and i had the grits bowl, pancakes and french toast. (All delicious). Id recommend this place if you want a regular american breakfast with a hint of southern hospitality baked in.

Drip Affogato Bar Nola

SOOOO FUN! I'm…read moreusually not a sweets girl, more savory but my friends found this place nearby and so we went right around opening time and before dinner. The decor was very fun and sexy. Wish we got a couch versus the normal boring chairs, but it was fine. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered the boozy versions of course. The ice cream flavors were amazing! I honestly can't remember them all, but I think the zulu was my favorite of the night. The portions were PERFECT. Such a treat, they even had the world cup playing so bonus points for them. Highly recommended for a night out!

This place is so cutesy. Such a cool concept for a restaurant. Ordered the franchi$e (lemon pie…read moregelato, citrus cookie, lavender drizzle, violet sea salt, lemon zest, whipped cream) and the Zulu (coconut gelato, cherry drizzle, shaved dark chocolate, toasted coconut, black cherry). The sundaes themselves were amazing. I would say the Zulu is a little better but I am an avid coconut lover so I could be biased. However the espresso was terrible. So bitter. It kind of ruined the sundae I wish I didn't even pour it on. Really should work on that considering it's an affogato place.

Surrey's Café & Juice Bar

My wife and I had breakfast at Surrey's Cafe & Juice Bar, and it absolutely lived up to the hype…read more We decided to share two dishes: the Bananas Foster French Toast and the Boudin Breakfast Biscuit. Both were outstanding. The Bananas Foster French Toast was rich, indulgent, and packed with flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet. The bananas and sauce were the perfect complement to the French toast, making it feel like a New Orleans dessert and breakfast all in one. The Boudin Breakfast Biscuit was equally impressive. The biscuit was fresh and flaky, and the boudin added a delicious Cajun flavor that set it apart from a typical breakfast sausage. Every bite was savory, satisfying, and uniquely Louisiana. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it's easy to see why Surrey's has such a loyal following. If you're visiting New Orleans and looking for a memorable breakfast, put this place on your list. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

This by far had to be the best breakfast I've had in a long time. Surrey's Café & Juice Bar was…read morewell worth the wait to try. The food was fantastic, and I have to recognize the staff that really looked out for my mom while we waited. The hostess was so kind in allowing my mom to sit inside and have coffee until our table was ready. I didn't mind at all waiting outside because it was such a beautiful day, and it was just great being in New Orleans. I will say the food was astronomically delicious. If I could provide a 10 rating, I definitely would. From the French toast made with the po' boy bread to the shrimp and grits and the crab omelette, my taste buds were so happy. This place is a true gem. I can't wait to come back and try more. Such a great experience.
