Not sure what others see. $5! for just an espresso and wasn't served with sparkling water or presented fancy. They use torani syrups and no house made anything. Would expect better quality for the price. Boring. Beans are from Michigan so not local but the shot was balanced and nutty. Bathrooms are part of the rest of building and not nice. The decor is ok and place is small. read more

The ambiance here is unmatched--the music and decor create such a relaxed, chill vibe. Plus, the service is incredibly fast and efficient. To be honest, the coffee is just okay (not the best, but definitely not the worst), but the atmosphere makes up for it. It's a fantastic spot to grab a quick pick-me-up if you're hitting the contemporary art museum! read more

This is a really nice and aesthetic coffee shop! The service was really friendly and helpful! I wished that the coffee was a bit stronger and more flavorful, but it was still pretty good! There's only street parking available. I'd definitely come back for the vibes. read more

Easy to miss - tucked inside a contemporary art building that doesn't open until 11! Serves mainly drinks. Has just a few pastries, and they ran out by 9:30am. Don't go looking for breakfast. Drink menu is standard and posted on a glass partition so hard to see and read. The coffee was great - we had a decaf latte and iced vanilla latte. However - the wait is long. With only one barista hand making each drink we waited ~10 solid minutes. Just plan ahead. There are no other coffee shops in the area so they do get busy. Fortunately it's also a little book shop so you can browse the books while you wait. read more

I am so happy I finally checked out Mr. Wolf Espresso & Books! This place is definitely a gem in the city. It's a beautiful, Black-owned space that simply oozes art, culture, and soul from every corner. I wanted to sit there all day. The vibe is immaculate: it's effortlessly cool and welcoming, featuring great music, an inspiring atmosphere, and a fantastic focus on the local creative scene (they showcase local authors, which is wonderful!). If you're looking for a place to relax, read, or just soak up some genuine energy, this is it. I ordered a Chai Latte with sugar-free caramel added. Honestly, it tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal milk in the best way possible. It was perfectly spiced, creamy, and I didn't get an artificial aftertaste from the sugar-free syrup. They truly know how to craft a perfect drink. Great service, incredible aesthetic, and phenomenal coffee. I can't wait to go back and try something else! Support this local business! read more

During my trip to New Orleans, I was lucky enough to visit Mr Wolf twice with my coworkers. Both times, I really enjoyed my lattes. The vibe itself is a curated, and cool. Not surprising since it is located inside of a museum. The staff were very friendly, and made each of our drinks perfectly. read more

On my local coffee place hunt while traveling, I found Mr. Wolf. The space is located inside the lobby of the Contemporary Arts Center of NO. The cafe walls are adorned with prints of past NOJ&HF posters and other pieces of art and the space itself is bright and airy and cozy. The lovely woman behind the counter, my assumption, is the owner. She was kind and gracious. My breve iced mocha was perfect for the New Orleans humidity and made to perfection, not too sweet, and not masking the flavor of the coffee. It'll be one of my go-to places the next time I'm in town. read more

The coffee bags on the walls with paintings of farmers and bulls add an authentic feel to the place. Come inside the shop next to the art gallery and you'll see a cozy spot with friendly people. I got the strawberry hibiscus tea and it is great for a summer drink. read more

Great coffee, cool ambiance. Venue was really calm and great for work. Service was great as well

I recently had a business meeting at Mr. Wolf Espresso, tucked inside the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The vibes here are unbeatable - a perfect blend of modern, artistic ambiance with nods to New Orleans' rich cultural heritage, making it feel like more than just a coffee shop; it's like sipping your latte in an inspiring gallery space. The natural light, sleek design, and subtle artistic touches created such a productive yet relaxed atmosphere for our discussion. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away with their warm smiles and spot-on recommendations. Everything about the service was top-notch - efficient without feeling rushed, and genuinely engaging. I went for the brown sugar iced latte, which tasted just like a delicious coffee cake, and paired it with a fresh pastry that was flaky and flavorful. They even have unique offerings like bottled cold brew for on-the-go, and as a Black-owned spot with a focus on community and creativity (they've got books and art integrations too!), it stands out in a city full of great cafes. If you're looking for a unique place to meet, work, or just unwind, Mr. Wolf is a must-visit. Great place for vibes, focus & overall damn good coffee. read more

I've been to many coffee shops in the city in the past week, and I would confidently say this was the best iced mocha I've gotten. Most of the coffees I got just didn't have the flavor and tasted too watery, but this was perfect. The coffee bean flavor is perfect and they use torani sweeteners which is just ideal. I absolutely loved it! There isn't much seating though so expect to grab your coffee and go somewhere else. read more

This place is so cute! Is very modern with its glass aesthetic. It's located inside of this building with a lot of suites, but it's directly to the right when you walk into the building. I also love that they have black artwork on the wall. The barista was very friendly and helped me decide between the London fog, and a chai. I ended up choosing a chai, with the milk alternative, oat milk. There is an up charge for having a milk alternative though. I've only seen metered parking here, do you have to pay to park if you don't live nearby/are in the area. But there are usually plenty of parking spaces when I come in the early afternoon late morning. read more

Good vibes. Coffee shop and art gallery. Located inside the large warehouse building, the space is quaint and modern, but spacious. The coffee is good y'all. The brown sugar iced latte tastes like a coffee cake. They also have pastries.The barista was welcoming and very attentive on both occasions we stopped in. The vibe is relaxed with music and art. Restrooms are in the lobby which is slightly inconvenient but it based on the layout of the building. They offer WiFi and accept credit cards. read more

Mr Wolf is a great place to come and have some coffee, tea or grab a book. It's located in the Museum of contemporary arts so that's another plus. The service was great and the ambiance was nice especially with the live band that day. read more

The vibes!!!! It's so relaxed in here. The large scale modern art is lovely and the music is just the right mood for reading or working or sipping an espresso. I brought headphones but didn't need or want to use them. They have a basic but solid coffee menu and a simple pastry/sandwich lunch offering. Today's was turkey and cheddar on a croissant. A cortado and a sandwich was just enough to keep me going for the afternoon. Chips or plain croissant available. It is chill and welcoming. Will definitely be back and use regularly as a downtown oasis. read more

What a surprise delight! When exploring a new city, I always head to coffee shops and bookstores, so to find one that is both is a bonus. I sat at a table by the window and sipped an Americano while reading through a book on Women and Art. And speaking of art, the artistic decor is such treat! The number of books is very limited and the coffee is great! read more

1 million stars. I love this coffee shop, they make perfect espresso drinks! So friendly. I wish I could move to New Orleans just for this coffee shop. I miss them terribly! Delicious coffee, incredible beans, and always cool art to explore. Comfortable and enjoyable café check it out. One of the best things near the World War II museum.! read more

Dropped by when I was in town for a conference, and I am so glad I did! Mr Wolf is tucked inside of the CAC Atrium, and can be easy to miss if you're just walking down the street. Despite being a conference week, since it's further out from the convention center, it was not packed at all. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and our drinks were ready quickly, too! I opted for two drinks: hot peppermint tea and an iced chai. The peppermint tea is hard to mess up, admittedly, but my iced chai was delicious! I also grabbed a warmed chocolate croissant (which I don't think are made in house) but it was heavenly! This place is artsy, but welcoming. Seems like the perfect place to drop in get some work done, or study. It wasn't overly loud or crowded, and there was plenty of space between the seating available. read more

I visited Mr. Wolf Espresso a couple of times during my work conference at the convention center. While it's not the closest coffee shop to the convention center, it's definitely a step up from the nearby Starbucks and PJ's. The vibes inside are fantastic--very artsy, with lots of art to enjoy while you wait for your coffee. The same barista was working both days, and she was incredibly nice and was running the shop solo, so you know she's killing it. If you're at the convention center, I highly recommend taking the short walk to Mr. Wolf Espresso. It's a nice break from the chaos, and you'll be supporting a great local spot. read more

The woman that was working was very nice and the inside was very clean. If you just want simple coffee drinks this is a great place for you. You pick what coffee drink you want and they have Torani syrups you can choose from. Tried a few coffee places in Nola and this place wasn't my favorite but it wasn't bad. read more

As far as coffee shops go, Mr. Wolf is top tier. The matcha lattes are great and other tea drinks are great. I'll admit I'm not a big coffee drinker so I don't have much to offer in terms of coffee critique. The ambiance is amazing- the music is definitely my taste so I never feel like I need to have headphones on. There's so much natural lighting which is perfect to highlight all of the amazing art work that fills the space. I'm always happy into visit Mr. Wolf and chop it up with Lashae and Wayne the owner. Very cool people and lovely couple. Mr. Wolf is definitely in my top three coffee shops in the city! read more

I've been to Mr Wolf over 15 times at this point and still love it after a year! It's consistent, the music is good, it smells good, it's welcoming. The art is always fun to look at. I love that they started selling prints! (which I've bought too). I'll definitely keep on coming back. read more

The hazelnut cinnamon muffin breaks apart in a fun way and is so good. It's like monkey bread. read more
