Food was so basic, took 30 minutes to get the basic food and no acknowledgment on taking that amount of time when there was no one in there... after 15 minutes passed, I saw the server run back with a bag from outside as if they didn't have some ingredient that they needed to make the food so they had to buy it. Then still took almost 20 minutes after that to bring me a very underwhelming breakfast. I didn't even take a picture of it I was so annoyed. The whole bill was $40 total for everything we got and we definitely could've spent their $40 somewhere else and had a way better experience. The only thing I like is the ambience, it has all old-school 90s merchandise and video games which entertained my son while we had to wait that long. Cute concept but the food and service and wait time needs to definitely improve. Good location for tourists. Will not return. read more

This is a very cool and hip coffee shop at Barb. They have video games, and old time favorite games and relics around the entire small place. The avocado toast with egg was okay, nothing to write home about. Avocado toast felt like a day old. It seemed like people were really enjoying the shrimp and grits and the service was good. read more

This place was such a fun stop! We actually went to brunch next door and made it a point to stop in this place the next day. Aside from all the tea and coffee selections they do have alcoholic drinks. Also some beignets! We ordered some drinks and had a seat. Then we went to go get change to play some games and quickly realized they're all free after purchasing something! What a great concept! The workers were super friendly and we probably ended up staying and hour and playing some fun games. This cafe is definitely worth the stop - if not for the games then just for the 90's themed EVERYTHING! It's such a cool and safe space. Wish I had a place like this closer to home! read more

A total vibe! Nostalgia Coffee in New Orleans is a hidden gem that feels like stepping straight into a time machine destination: the '90s and early 2000s. From the second you walk in, you're hit with the coolest wave of nostalgia. Think old-school arcade games, funky posters, neon lights, and the perfect mix of throwback tunes playing in the background. Coffee was so good & I wish I was back in NOLA to go back! read more

I stopped by in October for a quick coffee and breakfast. The place is a little janky but I like all the nostalgia games and decor. We got coffee, mini beignets ($5), and banana foster ($13) and they were all solid. The place was packed with lots of people waiting around, but it didn't take too long to get our order (whereas some people that ordered alcoholic drinks had a huge wait for some reason). The beignets were small but nice, light, and crispy with good powdered sugar. The banana foster was a huge portion and also very tasty. read more

Super cute place - great decor and perfect for a quick breakfast/coffee stop. We were greeted with a friendly hello once entering which was nice. It was empty so we were skeptical BUT it was late morning on a Sunday - so we figured everyone was just getting up and out. We placed our order at the counter and then sat in a cute little area surrounded by retro video games. Love that! We got basic breakfasts - we just wanted something in our bellies before walking around in the Nola heat. Everything was tasty and nice and hot. My iced coffee was great as well! Come check out Nostalgia when in town! read more

Great coffee selections , great atmosphere. There are allot of ways to enjoy your coffee, which can be a bit of a challenge if your not an experienced coffee drinker .. That's another reason why I loved this spot. There website actually breaks down the different styles of making coffee I ended up getting the " black eye" on ice.. Had a chance to meet the lady's who own the spot on my visit. Great coffee, locally ran, black owned establishment. https://www.nostalgianola.com/ read more

If you are not a local and have some down time Nostalgia is a great place to kick it. They have some really nostalgic items like vintage arcade games, VHS tapes and decor that will trigger 80s babies feels and they have music to go along with it which is cool. Barista was cool and helpful and the drink was "meh" we ordered a chai tea and it was pre made. We were expecting something made on the spot. So maybe stick to coffee if you want something made there. The main reason to come here would be to play some arcade games listen to the music and just go down memory lane. They had the classic Ninja Turtles, NFL blitz, NBA 2k, PacMan just to name a few. Just buy an item to get access to the games and enjoy your time there. read more

Cute little spot right next to the Sheraton off of Canal. Went on a Friday night. Nice vibes with the lights dimmed, the music playing not too loud and the vintage VHS playing on the old school oversized TV. There is an area where you can play console games on the TV. There are some vintage arcade games and some card & board games as well. Now let's talk about food. I am a food lover but what's more important is customer service. If you have an amazing product or great food but bad service that's a zero out of five for me but this place...customer service was great. One couple in front of us was ordering when we entered and he (the staff) was patient while we looked over the menu then answered all of our questions respectfully. The food was amazing too. I mean soooo good. We will definitely visit this place again next time we are in town. read more

Cute retro coffee shop. There's video gaming if you want to check it out. I came in for my morning coffee and they have over 30 different flavors. They brewed a fresh coffee for my friend and me. The service was so impeccable. They were funny and sweet. I got the lavender honey latte and it was so good! I would come back for another flavor. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this location! read more

What a cute little coffee shop with old video games to play for free. The coffee was delicious and the service was friendly. We ordered a breakfast burrito which was so delicious and perfectly made, although it took a long time to make but was worth it! read more

Nostalgia NOLA - Cute little coffee shop, great coffee and friendly service. Took awhile to get a breakfast burrito but it was so worth the wait! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The service was okay- possibly due to short staffed, I could tell the barista was overwhelmed. She had to do several things at once. I could tell she did her best. The ambience was fun, several video arcade game to play, fun concept. Our kids loved it The food was subpar- they didn't have many of the items on the menu... they serve the menu the whole day- the beignets, fries, and catfish were soggy. The gumbo was watery. The Cortado was good. I do not recommend coming for the food... come for the drinks and the Arcadia games! read more

What's not to love about a coffee shop that thrust you back to the 90s! The art work and creative placement mixed with nostalgic games,movies and music sets a fun, carefree environment to sip and enjoy coffee/tea. I enjoyed the tea and the music was also a great addition. The owner was also here when I came and was very welcoming and knowledgeable on the coffee. Nostalgia has a vast variety for tea and coffee ! I will definitely be back when I am in New Orleans. read more

The staff was nice and the vibe was cool. However! The service was incredibly slow. We waited over 10 minutes for 2 coffee drinks that were expensive! Also, we were the only people in the place. It's nice to play PacMan again, but only if the drinks came faster. read more

Not my favorite coffee shop that I stopped in while in Nola but I did love the nostalgia of the old school arcade games. I was originally aiming to stop at a different shop but they weren't open before 8 on a Saturday. So when I saw Nostalgia was right around the corner from the conference hotel location I decided why not. I went in hoping to get coffee and breakfast but sadly they didn't have breakfast items until later in the day so a unique coffee drink was all I could get. It was good but overly sweet and the barista wasn't the most pleasant. read more

Great coffee and croissant. I could spend all day playing the games in there. What a cool place! read more

Nostalgia NOLA - Great venue and coffee. We need more places like this! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Everything about this place made me feel like a kid again at 44 years young! Owner Jerry was so super sweet in explaining the menu while I am a new to "fancier" coffees! (Black coffee with sugar or milk, growing up) Ended up getting a pastry as well which was tasty with flavor and not bland. read more

Happened to stumble across this shop since our rental was so close. Tried coffees all over the city and this was my favorite. Tried different drinks everyday and each one did not disappoint. They had a live dj Sunday night and we came in just to hang out before bedtime with our toddler. Customer service is top notch and the arcade games are a hit for the whole family. Must try! read more

They make the best specialty tea in the FQ! Their chocolate-covered strawberry flavored tea is by far the most delicious tea around. Order the grits if you go, because theirs are the creamiest and best tasting! read more

This coffee shop was so cool! They had tons of games, and it was good vibes. The coffee was a 10/10!!! And the baristas were so kind! I had the pumpkin chai coffee and it was honestly the best pumpkin coffee I've had! My sister and brother had the brown sugar bae coffee, and the cinnamon toast crunch coffee and they were also good! Highly recommend this place! read more

Best coffee I had all d*** week! They had so many flavors of syrups and the best vibes. Every other coffee I ordered in NOLA was milk, with a litttttlle bit of coffee, but this was wonderful. Go for the coffee, stay and play a game. Great service as well, I asked the barista for a suggestion for flavor and he hooked me up with a white chocolate/lavender iced latte... y'all... be sure to check them out!! read more

This place is worth your time and then some! We had the misfortune of getting here late when all the grits were gone for the shrimp & grits. But the chef came out and after debating other menu options, he went back to the kitchen and whipped up some more just for us. The arcade games are great, and the vibes are so laid back and fun. Just swing by. You won't regret it! read more

I had an amazing ice coffee with hint or rose and rosemary. So delicious. The service is phenomenal and helpful when it came to selecting what I wanted to drink. And while we waited the very short wait we were entertained by the free games that were available to play! And if that's not your thing take a seat and enjoy the 90's music and vibe!!! read more

Had high hopes for this place. Vibes are fine but there are boxes and and random storage all over the place. The barista didn't know what was in one of the 4 items on the food menu. Maybe he was training but the more senior guy he asked confidently got it wrong. Food was cold and looked like my kid made it and when I asked for another it took 1 hour to get this basic sandwich. Coffee was fine. Good concept, poor execution. Also 2$ for a cup of water read more

I have ended my vacation because I am moving in here (just kidding). Staying in the area, looked up coffee shops, and this place was higher rated than anywhere in walking distance. I saw what it was, full of my childhood everything, and we made it our top priority of where to go next. I walked in and nearly cried. Everywhere you look (Full House reference for you), it's the 90s and some 80s. The decor is so cool, some of it really subtly nerdy, and I felt at home immediately. We got a large oat milk latte to split which wasn't the best I've ever had but it was good and honestly, the entire experience was magical. There are VHS tapes in multiple areas including an old tv cart like you had in school, the players are Mario, there's 90s style squiggles on the walls, collages of musicians, fuzzy benches, VIDEO GAME CONSOLES, hanging lights made from teacups and saucers, funky furniture, I could keep going. It's only 3 months old and I know this place is going to do very well. Avery was our barista and super lovely, we played some video games and hung out in the little funky lounge area. I didn't wanna leave, and wish I had a place like this closer to home. Literally anywhere you look there's something cool and memory inducing. I cannot wait to come back and am looking forward to seeing what events they put on (they just had their first one). read more

Great ambiance and very friendly staff. We came in to escape a rainy day and were really pleasantly surprised to find such a cute place. We got the cinnamon toast latte and beignet latte (both hot) which were delicious and really hit the spot. It also turned out that this was their first week open as a full cafe so it was cool to meet the chef and hear about the transition from a coffee shop to cafe. The mini beignets, gumbo, and crawfish étouffée were all on point as well. I really recommend it both for the taste and a unique experience. read more

Games and great coffee? So good. I really enjoyed the cappuccino. Expertly done and light, exactly how it should be. Oat milk available.
